    I'm 61 and two years ago I had to switch to directional hitting. Just couldn't hit with zone anymore.

    I'm 63yo and still really enjoy the game. Also had to give up on the zone hitting which makes me not as competitive in online play but still really enjoy a good ranked game with a evenly matched opponent. It's not about how good you are it's about how much fun your having.

    @Real-bulldops_XBL

    I’m 45. Without question the brain doesn’t tell the fingers to move as fast as they used to. The game is still fun but it’s a bit depressing.

    Oh, also it reminds me how bad my vision is.

    @Real-bulldops_XBL some guys switched to timing instead of zone hitting . Considering it myself. Seems like I’m rewarded more on “timing” doesn’t make sense considering moving the PCI is harder than just timing up the swing. A lot of my PPs are line outs on zone hitting. I understand that happens in real life . Perfectly hit balls are gonna be outs sometimes but on timing I really feel like I get more hits off perfect perfects. Just more rare bc you aren’t controlling the pci at all

    1. and still hit the ball in the game, still go to the batting cage in real life too. You could use directional hitting as others have said.

    @Real-bulldops_XBL I just turned 38 in March and I'm still hitting. Playing on legend batting with fastball and offspeed pitch speeds at 7 using the stride/timing mechanism. I still strike out a lot, but I have my share of good games as well. Just depends on the pitcher. Still a sucker for a good slider.

    I love "old guy" threads. I'm 60... Oofff. Still love to play. I do wish I could see how the game would play for me if I was 20. Probably still wouldn't make WS or go 10-0...

    @Real-bulldops_XBL also try using analog flick instead of buttons. It feels more like a swing. I actually prefer it now. Took a little practice but I like it

    I'm fifty, and I am still pitching well at this game; but I am very streaky as a hitter. I use "Classic" for pitching, and the PCI for hitting. I hit changeups and sliders and low-ball pitches at a good clip, but struggle with fastballs and changeups up-and-in, and some pitches up high. If you throw a pitch most pitchers wouldn't throw in real life, I won't be able to hit it in '"The Show.'" But, I still enjoy this game; even though I am 3-6 in Diamond Dynasty this year.

    I lost 3 games today. The first one I forget the outs and thought I had an easy game-ending out. It would have been an easy dp and since I panicked, I got no outs and JRam tied the game on the next pitch. I lost in extras

    The next one I lost in extras too, because I pisplayed a sacfly into a triple.

    I feel, that I belong here in this exact thread 🙂
