    Which do you play with? I've struggled lately and feel like everyone is hitting hard every swing. Even hrs well out of the zone against me.

    Everyone who makes ws uses normal swing. There's zero need to use power swing unless you're playing on rookie.

    @Shauwn the other day I was playing decent and now it's like I can't hit and I'm throwing balls all over and they get smashed no matter where I throw It in BR.

    I never use either. Normal swing always in my opinion.

    BR is kinda bad for most pitchers. Their numbers are low and good hitters will hit them. This is why I have a mixture of diamond and gold relievers with a balanced batting lineup. U need fairly good pitching to win in BR against those that can hit.

    Oh yeah stick with that then in my opinion. I don't think power swing is necessary.

    Power swing for cpu on rookie if you're trying to hit it 500 ft.

    Contact swing if you have 2 strikes on you in a tense 1-1 competitive game.

    If I've got a high Contact guy w/ mid 40-50 power, i'll usually try to contact swing with them. I've got it in my head that that is just enough power to make a normal swing on a well connected pitch to just lead to a line drive right to an outfielder. Contact at least gives me a shot at a sharp liner that might land in no mans land for a base hit. Or if I'm just trying to make sure to put a ball in play to score a guy from third or move him over. Other than that, normal all the way

    Theoretically, if your contact is 100 and your power is like 30, then why not min-max and use contact swing to swell the PCI even more? Makes sense to me. I used to do that with -- moment of silence -- Kenny Lofton a few years ago. Worked.
