    I love your sarcasm but since you can barley read English, it says I turned myself into an elite player with the contact swing because now all of my swing-and-misses turn to foul balls.

    I stated that I won five in a row, but since you care,
    I went 12-1 in events yesterday and now I'm rated like 850 in ranked seasons.

    I am elite now BECAUSE I TURNED ALL MY SWING AND MISSES INTO FOUL BALLS BY JUST USING THE CONTACT SWING.

    850 doesn’t make you elite.

    Such a clown. The contact swing makes me Elite. I have the record since taking it up that proves the point. This is a simulated baseball experience anyway, so there is really only so good any one human can get..

    So you call yourself elite because you contact swing your way through a win streak, and me a clown because I point out the obvious that this hardly makes you elite?

    Let me guess, you’re 29-35 and single?

    What kind of moronic assumptions are you making? I'm rated 800 to 900 every year and in online rated I am always in the top 100.

    I am 33 and dating a 27 year old DIME. https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1394716836864929796/oSPlewdH.jpg

    There's a link to my Twitter so you can take a look at my face and see that your girlfriend, mom and sister would all end up in my bed if I wanted...

    Whenever you wanna put your theories to the test, LMK. I'll play you and make you quit within 3 innings.

    Clearly not just elite in a baseball video game, but in life as well. My mom died when I was eleven, smarta$$. Grow up.

    My mom died from lung cancer when I was 9. Sorry bro but you shouldn't have made an ASSumption about me if you couldn't handle the potential comeback. Genuinely sorry about your mom, trust me I know its the worst

    I can handle the comeback. I just don’t get why it has to go there. Like, you must have known someone would call you out when you called yourself elite after going on a win streak...

    You don't get why it went there? I didn't come out of left field with that line,!! It was a completely valid counter burn staying inside the context you started! YOU: "You're this old and single" ME: "no I'm this old, not single and I could bang all the females in your family"

    UNDERSTAND WHY NOW?

    As for "knowing" people would call me out for saying I'm elite because of a win streak, I overlooked this due to the fact THATS NOT WHAT I SAID.

    It sucks that common sense isn't too common... "I am elite because of contact swing, all my swing and misses turned into foul balls"

    I think that's the 3rd time I have had to repeat it but yup, I'm still elite because of the contact swing, not cause of my win streak.

    Went from defending himself to sounding cringe real quick. Like...REAL QUICK.

    Leave families and your over inflated sense of self off the internet.

    You can call it a comeback but your "burn" dwindles down to:

    • I think I am hot
    • Me has girlfriend
    • Me could bang family
    • I'm this many years old today

    And you responded in that way over a dude you do not know, on a forum with little merit, on a topic that will not impact your day.

    Be elite, great, good, average, and/or below average at a vidoe game....cool...You're a tool in life. Now fix your link, I can't wear this sock all day long.

    https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1400791267454427137/XtQCaClO.jpg

    I just changed my pic to that bathroom selfie everyone takes but doesn't post, just for you to get that sock of quicker..

    Guys that have only had a 6 pack from the fridge speak like you. If you were elite in looks, laying pipe, hockey, baseball, video games and now contact swing, you would enjoy the blessings as well.

    All sarcasm aside, top notch burn you threw at me. You win with the part about how this holds no merit in my day. I tip my cap to you good sir. Now can I go back to being perfect and abusing kids with this contact swing?

    Nice Pillsbury dough boy physique, I'm sure your mom and girlfriend (right hand) are proud

    I really hope they fix this so we can all play BR again. BR has been pretty trash after 6 wins. Turn off contact swing if you are still so clueless right now but know it creates 120 mph exit velocity... come on bruh... "We know there is a problem, but we will still leave it in there even though we have other alternatives like turning it off while we have time to work on the mechanics." SDS could look 20X smarter if they turned off contact swing 3 weeks ago. This is embarrassing on many many levels. This is the definition of stupid beyond imagination... You can turn it off while you work on it if you already admit it is broken.

    Gave up 5 hits in a BR game and 4 of the hits were rated 8, 9, 3 and 11… two very early, one very late and another one just early… I got pictures to show how bad the placement of the pci was. This is getting out of hand, AS was already unplayable, imagine this now…

    @Victor_SDS_PSN @Collin_SDS_PSN There is no reward for jamming people. This guy got luxky 4 out of 5 times in a 3 inning game. Baseball players aren’t that lucky all the time

    Honestly, the contact isn't the problem here. it's bad feed back 100%. The big PCI exists in the first inning when your pitcher is most vulnerable. After that it's up to your bullpen pretty much and the PCI shrinks from that point.

    I’ve heard this before, that the feedback you see from your opponents swings isn’t accurate. Very early hr with the ball on the edge of the inner pci. “But the opponent feedback is inaccurate they’re working on it”

    However, I get plenty of garbage hits and home runs from contact swings as well, is my own feedback inaccurate also?

    I'm honestly shocked I'm pretty sure by this time last year they had already done like 2 or 3 gameplay patches. They haven't done a single one this year.

    BR is like playing on rookie with the PCI being larger than the strike zone for contact hitting.

    In my opinion this can be reasonable fixed with just one change - make all three buttons a normal swing in competitive mode. But not necessarily a normal swing - let me elaborate.

    We have high contact, low power guys. All three buttons should be contact for them.
    High power, low contact guys. All three buttons are a power swing. Have you ever seen Miguel Sano slow down his ferocious swing to try to doink a single over the infield?
    Balanced players - they get normal swings.

    I get that "competitive mode" is supposed to be about giving us, the players control, when input is what matters, and when you can take the gold Sano card and hit a 110mph [censored] missile using a "slowed down contact focused swing" - you're actually ending up doing the exact opposite of the goal you're intending to create out of it.

    Are you going to fix it or not? Just let us know. I’m tired of giving bloop hits to people that have no business getting on base because of how big the pci becomes.

    Don't know what game you are playing. It's severly overpowered right now. Everybody knows this and nothing is being done about it

    It literally isn't. You guys see one or two homers and think Oh my gosh contact swing is broken. It isn't. Go test it. You will get the occasional smash. 8 or 9 out ten good swings will still produce the crappy exit velos. The same as last year. The difference is that more people are using it this year because pinpoint is broken. Everything is dotted on the higher levels no matter the accuracy meter.

    Test it? I have over 100 hours of gameplay and the consensus of a majority of the players here that play more than I do also agree.

    All rankings, all modes and contact swing has ZERO to do with PPP.

    PPP is the reason more people are using it. There was no need to use it last year because a pitch would eventually hang and you just crush mistakes. This year no one is making those mistakes at the higher levels. Again i don't believe you tested it because i have tested it so many times i could vomit. It just isn't as powered as this site or some in the community wants to make it out to be..

    I've tested EVERYTHING. You are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to mine.

    It's busted.

    You could vomit? My DNA has been permanently altered because of it.

    It should be literally impossible to hit a no doubter with Glavine with contact swing.

    Yup, I’ve done it

    Facts. Contact swing in Allstar is easy. Contact on HoF or higher is next to garbage. That goes for all swing types though. People complaining just need an excuse why they suk. Ateast i know im terrible
