    So i noticed yesterday, when i get to 2 strikes i only used contact swing and then i hit a HR

    Next AB, i said, ill use contact instead, HR

    Next 3 innings i hit 4 HRs using contact only

    But it felt wrong, so i went back to Normal swing for a while and only used contact when 2 strikes down.

    Is the game broken? I feel like "contact" swing has the bigger PCI but the "normal" swing hitting power - and maybe vise versa?

    It is very broken… I wonder when are they going to nerf it.

    Yeah im thinking they'll fix it, hence me just playing normal swing. I dont want to win that badly that i want to cheat the broken mechanics!

    It was mentioned in the latest stream as something they need to address and hopefully they follow through. It's also very easy to recognize when your opponent is doing this as their PCI feedback shows an enlarged circle.

    SDS, please handle ASAP. Thanks

    Contact swing is by far, the biggest flaw in online play right now.
