91 ty Cobb still hits better than any 99 card ive had
Its all in preference and play style mixed in with some user skill. It sounds like you prefer high contact guys, me personally i prefer power and speed.
I've hit more homers with 98 Boggs than 99 Larry walker
This is an outside perspective without seeing you play so i could be way off but maybe you need more practice placing the pci. High contact guys are easier to hit with because the high contact makes the PCI larger. High power guys with not as much contact you really gotta nail the pci placement

I don't use the "pci" at all, I don't see how it could help, I'm like vladdy back in the day I want to swing at everything but unlike him I aint producing.

If you mean you use directional then I would try switching to zone. If you mean you use zone with no pci then more power to ya

I don't like telling people how to play because everyone should just do what works best for them...I also don't know what your goals are, if you're casually playing or if you're looking to compete. General consensus within the competitive scene is you should be using Zone hitting/PCI. You'll get used to it for sure. Anything other than that places you in a huge disadvantage the higher you go up the ranks. Hitting camera is also preference but you'll find with 'strike zone' it may help you pick up on pitches easier. Of course, if you're just chilling and don't care about sweating do what's comfortable for you.
Edit: Just saw your above and noticed you aren't using directional which is what I assumed.
-
I want to compete yo, that's the only goal.
-
So if your PCI is on and you don't use it, that explains why you don't hit like you want to.
-
my hitting interface is set to zone, what from there?I'm doubting your skills already, no offense

do you mind elaborating? I honestly don't know how I should be using it.

Spin the left stick before the pitcher sets up to warm up your thumb(i know it sounds dumb but it works). Start your pci in the area that it is hardest for you to move to and adjust from there. First at bat be aggressive to figure out the timing of the pitcher and whats early whats late. After that work the count, take until 2 strikes unless you see the ball all the way in and know you can hit it.
-
You should at least have center dots or diamonds inside of your PCI. Use the left analog stick to move those inner dots/diamonds towards the pitched ball and push the X O or Square to swing. Unless the pitch is right down the middle, you are going to have difficulty hitting any pitch with authority.
-
hitting the square and o button does make a difference? I just hit x every time.
-
X is regular swing o is just contact and square is power swing. Warning: using the power swing reduces the size of your PCI. Most people I assume just use X

so from what ive heard so far, hitting the spot with left stick and hitting the right button will make the difference- when do I hit power button as opposed to contact button, why ant I just stand in the box-see a pitch I like and hope/assume the numbers sds gives me for that hitter will correlate to the right outcome? this pci stuff is a bit absurd but im still wanting to learn.

in order to hit well I have to use pci and I have to sync the pci correctly to pitch thrown for a good hit?

Pretty much. The center of the PCI should be on the pitch and the timing of your swing is important to. By using the Zone method to hit, the attributes of the player only play a part in hitting when you put the PCI on the ball and your timing is good. It doesn't work the other way around. Just because the player is great doesn't mean automatic success. You have to do your part too.

Personally i always use X for a normal swing. Also yes you move the pci to the correct location to hit a pitch. You want to center it.

that all these details aren't known beforehand just shows what a money grubbing world we live in nowadays, thanks for the info guys- this isn't a true skill its just knowing algorithms, coding and whatever- thanks for feedback gentleman!
