    You do realize directional does nothing to give anyone an advantage right? It only works if the ball is right down the middle. Lol

    I disagree with this. Especially in the lower tiers and difficulties like All-Star. If you play on directional hitting and you have good eye/patience it can be quite beneficial to use it. Not because it's such a great way of hitting, but because the contact area is so big that you can foul off pitches on the corners consistently to keep at bats alive, waiting for that one hung pitch over the middle which will inevitably come because of the horrendous pitching mechanics in this game. And when it's finally there, just press X for moonshots.

    Maybe that’s true, but I’m also not playing a ton of games on all star, so I’m not sure what goes on in that Realm of the game

    I do because I mostly play BR. It's dreadful to play very mediocre players who I know for sure are using directional hitting. Sometimes you just can't get them out and it's really annoying and also really has nothing to do with skill imo.

    Lol yeah it's gut wrenching at times. Imagine playing a directional hitter with good eye!

    That's not true, it works anywhere it just becomes more of a dice roll. This masks bad hitters especially if they have a good lineup.

    ....no

    Directional means you push the stick to the direction you want to hit the ball, and hope that you get a good pitch to hit. It is literal garbage. You have been stopped

    Dude it does not leave the PCI down the middle or make you hit in the direction you point. I don't even use it nor do I know what you're on about right now. Directional is timing + hitting stats/dice rolls + influencing the spin/angle of your swing (the directional part.)

    But how come if i use Directional and push the stick down i hit Homeruns too. With your logic i should keep the ball on the ground...

    If we are doing this when take away button input for zone. Analog stride only.

    I’ve said this once and I’ll say this again, why do all you guys think you’re playing someone with directional lmao, it doesn’t tell you that. Maybe there just a zone hitter who sucks with placement and fouls a bunch of pitches off

    It is easy to demonize directional hitters than just admit that they screwed up

    Well, guess I’ll just switch to directional from now on if it gives such an unfair advantage. Thanks!

    Edit: just lost 3 games using directional, guess it didn’t make me into a hitting god like it apparently does for other people that use it. Who could’ve known?
