My Hitting sucks!

Highly recommend you use the following settings:
Hitting View - Strike Zone
In - Play View Offense - Medium works alright
Hitting interface - Zone
Input type - buttons
analog type - flick
Plate Coverage Indicator - ON
PCI Center - Diamonds
PCI Inner - Basic
PCI Outer - I like starfighter
PCI Color - I like white
PCI Transparency - 70% works for me
PCI Fadeout - OUTERThese settings really helped me make better contact, because you need to get the center squared on the ball to get Perfect contact. To get perfect timing, obviously you will practice and learn the way the pitches look from different guys when they come in to you as a righty or a lefty. For that, I also recommend you go to custom practice mode, set the difficulty to legend, and try to GET ON BASE, not just get a hit.

A lot of times when I strike out, I strike out looking. In full counts there’s just as much pressure on the pitcher as their is you if off speed is coming. I think I’d rather strike out looking then flailing at a breaking ball that was below the zone that would have been a ball

I’m 36, have played every year and I am having the same issues for some reason this year. I’ve seen improvements tho but it’s going to take practice. Put the sliders for pitch and breaking ball speeds all the way up. Go to practice mode and put on legend. Pick pitchers with high pitch speeds. I choose Chapman or Newheiser. Go two days or so just practicing with these pitch speeds. I know it seems boring cuz there are no rewards but I promise in the long run it will help. When u hop online the pitches will feel slow.
Just know if u turn off the system you would either have to load the sliders back up or just have to change them urself again. It will not load either he changes automatically -
I don't often strikeout, but when I do strikeout, I strikeout looking.

Try Custom Practice on Legend. I play it constantly especially when scouting Showdown Bosses.
Don't feel bad: I'm 42 and been playing this game since it was called Baseball Stars and I still can't hit the High-and-Tight Cheese... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Tv/monitor?
TV is totally fine just make sure it is set to game mode. As far as the hitting view goes I use offset zoom, some people use strike zone but I find that to be less enjoyable aesthetics wise.
ultimately it just takes practice to learn the strike zone and what [censored] not to swing it. When I first started I had the same problem, I got some good advice from somebody that I took to heart not to swing until I had two strikes and it really help me learn the strike zone.
Number one mistake most casual noobs make is try to play sports game on a TV, I hear some of them even play Formula 1 games on a TV, which is the most ridiculous thing I've heard.

We are sorry. You have reached your 2020's decade limit on the phrase "casual noobs". You are no longer able to post this phrase on this website. Grow a spine and play online. Thank You, -Casual Noob.

A new decade starts next year, can I start using that term again? And thank you for admitting that you're a casual noob, I have more respect for you now..I just wish the others would admit it.

That sounds eerily familiar.
It annoys me when people keep saying the decade begins with a 0, no you noobs, it begins with a 1.
-
I think it all began retroactive is all. So that is where the confusion comes from.
-
No OP, there’s no chance of hitting the ball really. Even if you do, it will be by accident.

So 1980 wasn’t part of the 80s? The year 1 AD would have started theoretically when? 1/1/1? Do you agree? But it took twelve months for 1 to be a year. Calendar starts 1/1/00 if you needed the unnecessary explanation of how years work. You have been in the 20s for almost four full months already, my friend
