    Does anyone have any tips on hitting better in Ranked??? I usually play on all star but win most of the time because of my pitching and maybe scoring a couple runs. Yes, I take pitches but when it comes time to hit I can't square it up even tho I see the ball well.... Any suggestions or PCI settings would be appreciated!!!

    I turned off the inner and outer rings so now my pci is just the three diamonds. I don’t know if that has helped me at all, but it looks a little less cluttered.

    I've got the exact same setup going, yellow diamonds only at 30%

    I use control freaks too. Not sure if that really made any difference since I have no idea what they are really supposed to do.

    That works on all-star for me but it’s super small on HOF

    Don't think its you. Or just you. This patch borked hitting with the absurd amount of lag. Pop out city now.

    I have controlfreaks and I've taken them off of the controller and hitting has improved. They essentially make the stick more sensitive and allow larger movement of the PCI with shorter movement of the actual stick because it's taller. I have found more success in All-Star by leaving the PCI centered unless I'm cheating on a fastball leaving. In HOF, Legend, I have found more success by setting my PCI slightly high and inside for a lefty and high centered for a righty. I will still guess pitches and pre set the PCI but typically fastballs come high and inside, most breaking stuff is slower and finishes low and away so you have more time to drop it.
    For this reason I have found a lot of success with low inside fastballs when pitching. I get a lot of swings and misses or no swings.

    Also don't try to cover the whole plate. Imagine a smaller strike zone, I picture an oval inside the square and I forget about trying to hit pitches on corners, remind yourself it's ok to take strikes sometimes. With all the people complaining about poor pitching results you can count on a ball popping into the go zone if you wait for it. If a guy is trying to paint the corners he's going to miss that spot more often than not.

    Another thing to try is turning off the inner and outer, just use light circles or diamonds or altitude, and set the PCI near the pitchers release point and then track it out of his hand.

    Smoother, lighter stick control.. I have a [censored] problem, sometimes when I swing I'll mash and yank the stick up or down. I have to really remind myself to be more smooth. I also read, or watched somewhere that it's better to constantly control the stick rather than let it go back to center and then re move it.. It makes sense, I have a tendency to let the stick center itself when crossing the center plane and I've really been trying to break that habit.

    Honestly a lot of it comes from taking a structured approach to figuring out exactly what you're issue is and then creating a plan to fix it and sticking to it.

    I'm by no means an expert but these are some things that I focus on and it has helped. The biggest issue I have is bouncing between difficulty levels and how different it is...

    See ball. Hit ball. It’s a simple answer but that’s it. Don’t think too much, except to notice pitching patterns. Then, see ball, hit ball.

    I feel like hitting got tougher again last couple days. Very hard to catch fastballs for me again. Not just you OP.... I'm terrible at hitting, but I keep playing because I'm still having fun.

    I hope they add an option to adjust the sensitivity of the analog stick next year. My biggest problem is over reacting to the pitch.

    I don’t think they’d ever do this. Would completely kill any skill gap. Best players are the best players because their stick movement is elite. If you make that adjustable everybody would be able to hit

    So I just got some kontrol freaks.... But I found they come off super easily, and when I try to select an individual runner to say go back to a base, it doesn't always sense it

    Are you late but can get the PCI to the right spot? Or on time but nowhere near with the PCI? Where do you start your PCI?
