A Question on Timing
-
I should probably know this, but I don’t think I’ve ever tested it. Is the timing window to get perfect contact on, say, an up and in fastball earlier than to get perfect timing on the same pitch thrown to the outside of the plate? Obviously, in real baseball the timing windows are different because you have to let an outside pitch travel more through the zone before contact. This just occurred to me, and in the few moments I’ve wondered about it, I can’t recall needing to swing earlier or later based on the location of the pitch. The pitch speeds are so fast I just look fastball and my whole body jerks and I mash the swing button. Has anybody tested the timing discrepancies between an inside and outside pitch?

I do believe the timing window is different, but that is going off my brain and trying to remember former explanations, I might be way off. I have not tested nor verified that.

The timing is only different because it changes every single [censored] day!!! It's never consistent EVER!! The ball you put perfect PCI placement on yesterday and crushed for 500 ft shot is now a worthless pop-up or weak [censored] grounder. It's become a joke at this point.

Oh yeah, and get used to Good/Good, cuz that's the only feedback your going to see, and they are all outs unless they are Perfect/Perfect
-
meanwhile your opponent make a run with late swing.
-
Yeah, my impression is that timing windows change from pitch to pitch and at bat to at bat.

Its really infuriating how screwed up the timing is. Whenever I have to have a hit/run/HR whatever and i get good/good its always an out. Any other time like just a min ago with the Mookie WS moment i was way early and crushed a HR down the line to the 3rd deck then when I needed just a single hit to complete it good/good was fly out/fly out smfh. Buy yes I have noticed in the swing timing window inside pitches your supposed to be earlier than on outside pitches
-
The timing windows in moments seem to really vary. I just was doing the Hunter Pence home run moment vs Scott Oberg and was continually late on 93 but somehow also early on 95.
It’s got to be the sliders just messing with us.
