Diamond Dynasty hitting and pitching tips
-
I need help because ever since I went into multiplayer, I still hit homers but I suck so much. I always either give up the first run of the game to my opponent or give up a lead. Now I use meter, and I always will because its the most efficient pitching setting for me. And I time the fastballs badly mostly when im batting against my opponent, and it makes me frustrated and swing at balls and do terrible swings. I mean even with the miz and Nolan Ryan, I just can't do good. My highest rating is like 457 I think, my rating right now is 298. And I just saw Shohei Ohtani homer on the TV right now, 432 FEET IS CRAZY. (I was writing this and Shohei homered, so I wanted to mention him in here.)
Unfortunately, im forced to play my PS5 on a 46 inch TV from 2004, because 1, there's another TV in the sitting room but we use it so much, 2, there is another TV upstairs but that TV is kind of not for gaming since its like what 25 inch IDK and the quality probably will be bad and its a philips TV too. And the tips y'all give me shouldn't have to be products I buy cuz my family will refuse to buy the stuff, I use the DualSense regular controller. -
Practice mode. Set it to GOAT difficulty. Time the fastballs in the middle then High, then low. Then work on sinkers. The balls come fast but eventually you’ll get it. Once you do, all star difficulty online will seem slower.

Start with your pci low in the zone, then bring it up to meet the ball. This way you are putting pressure on the pci and you have no choice but to move it. Starting low also helps you get under the ball, less ground outs, less double plays. Start here and practice.

I am the opposite. I have trouble hitting pitches high in the zone but no problem dropping the PCI to the ball. I now start with my PCI at the top and my hitting has improved. I am going to start practicing starting with the PCI high and inside since I hit outside pitches better than inside pitches.

I use Meter as well. I also pitch from the pitcher's POV. Much more realistic, although I understand why players pitch online from the Batter POV. Take advantage of the 'new' strike zone. Nibble with low changeups outside as a lefty to righties. Don't be afraid to throw Splitters high and inside once in awhile, because it's a pitch meant to be thrown low, I think, and is unexpected. With Meter, there's a way to 'take something off of pitches.' It's hard to describe. Work in back-door Sliders when you can. The new sz gave me confidence to use them. Don't forget 'back foot' Sliders. Eat White Castle Sliders between half innings as well.
For batting, what the user said about Fastballs on G.O.A.T., as well as pitches you struggle against.
I have a roster called 'BP pitchers,' where i face pitchers i struggle against in custom practice. I still struggle to pick up the Splitter, so i anchor down low. Yes, I anchor at times, but only for the low Sinker & Splitter.
