I absolutely love what they did with the new pci customization. Hitting with analog and zone is ridiculous. No one would play the game.
The only thing I’m seeing a lot of problems with is good/squared up. I feel like I never get a hit on good squared up. It’s always perfect or good/okay for me.This is exactly why the community will incessantly haggle over timing or PCI placement combined with user or player attributes. This will never end and will only get worse. The learning curve for the game is incredibly small with a community that enjoys their crutches.

You’re forgetting their purpose. Yea, they are trying to make a good baseball video game, but it’s all about the benjamin$ at the end of the day. Not a lot of people would play a super technical game like that. More people would complain about the higher learning curve. Just my opinion.

This is the directional fight in reverse.
The reason that your BA increases when you switch to zone has way more to do with your user input meaning more with zone than with analog. I love hitting with analog, it's fun, it feels more like swinging a bat, but PCI placement is not precise and it feels like you are at the mercy of the players attribute way more than you are with zone. So for that I switched to zone in 17 and haven't looked back.

Directional hitting is the most realistic.

You're close, but not quite. Use zone, but not with buttons. Use the analog stick instead, and with stride. Turn the PCI visibility off. Then you'll see how good you really are.

Pci should not be removed ever, it should be made smaller by a hole lot! People like judge should be the size of the barrel of a bat and trout with high vision should be closer to double the barrel of the bat. That's how you make the game competitive again. Then you reward good input way more and allow the cream of the crop to rise and to finally play a legitimate game with legitimate players instead of all this bull [censored] swing at everything and make contact no matter how poor your timing was or how far off your pci was. That and check swings too, get rid of them or implement a double tap system that it actually takes skill to get a check swing, people literally swing at everything these days it's so sad to see. I miss arcade baseball at this point

I'm always reluctant to post things like this, due to the incredibly low level of reading comprehension in this sub. The PCI wouldn't be "removed", you simply wouldn't be able to see it. This option is currently in the game now. You can move the PCI with the left stick without the cursor being visible. It is more difficult to hit this way obviously.

What hitting camera do you use? Because if you use a zoomed in strike zone version, which I am betting you do, you're just a big ol' hypocrite.

I use strike zone 2 or offset zoom. I don't see any difference whatsoever between strike zone or strike zone 2 or offset zoom, while using the above settings. Way to miss the entire point.

I know would you meant, I'm saying it should always be a visual. I am a fan of 2k but the reason why it works there is because the hands on the guy is your visual and people arent rewarded more for it they just actually become better at timing and the visual of the hands. Everytime a meter pops up people arent learning they are just trying to green bar. That does not involve actually learning your shot and that's 80% of the people that play that game. I will state this again, pci should always be there! That is your only visual, you dont want to see it then go to zone.

Incredibly tired of the low level iq gamers who think they know why something works in a game and are just completely wrong.... mass public for ya

Yeah, I'll pass, I'm not good and not that good. But I agree that zone with analog stride is the most accurate representation of hitting.

No, see I get the point. Your point is just [censored] stupid and hypocritical. If you want everyone to play the way you do to challenge themselves and play a more realistic style, then why are you using the same stupid unrealistic camera view as 95% of this games population? Youre a joke, did your other account get banned so you made this one to spew the same bs?

This dude must not play 2k very much. 2k is a karate chop fest on defense and an absolute nightmare.
If it’s that incredibly easy, I expect you’re up on the leaderboard?

Again with these darn posts, let it go people, adapt or die. Enjoy your way, and if you don’t win enough then change your method or you’re not good enough. Every year I inevitably hit my ceiling; not here complaining it’s not fair.

I smell a burner account of one of the Neanderthals who've been crying about this lately.
The pci gets smaller and larger based on the attributes of the card.
Directional, analog, and zone all have a pci. It isn't my fault you choose to use a hitting interface that doesn't allow you to move your pci independently. You know the buckshot on your swing feedback? Yeah, thats your pci.
Stop acting like pure analog takes some godly talent or is superior or something. It's laughable. You time the swing only. You do half of a swing.

I've had this account for 10 years, but haven't used the forums for at least 2 years. Once again, a failure in reading comprehension by another bottom feeding moron. You can still move the PCI if it isn't visible when using ZONE HITTING. There is an option to turn PCI off in game. The PCI isn't "gone", you just can't see it, but can still move it to the ball. Now that you've turned it "off" (CAN'T SEE IT, BUT CAN STILL MOVE IT TO THE BALL), turn analog (on), stride (on) and hit. Did I spell out clearly enough for you Einstein?

Since this is a video game and we can’t physically swing a bat to hit.. a pci is the closest thing to being realistic and swinging. Not having a pci is like not being able to have a red dot and aim down in CoD lol Also you mention details and graphics.. They’re great and all but give me a game that plays great over that any day.

Once again for the 5th time??..not sure. There is still a PCI. Did you read it correctly? Let it sink in. If you now turn PCI off in settings, the PCI will not appear on your screen, when you are using zone hitting. NOW JUST BECAUSE YOU TURNED IT OFF DOESN'T MEAN THERE IS NOT A PCI. You can still move the PCI, you just can't see it on your screen. If you can't understand this now, you need to take your PS4 and throw it out the window. You don't need to be playing video games, you need to re-start your entire education. 1st or 2nd grade reading would help immensely.
