I don’t understand why people are so upset about contact swings? Like, induce weak contact! It IS frustrating when your opponent fouls off a million pitches, but we are all playing the same game here.
Just find a way to get your opponent out. Make a pitch! So many of you just rely on throwing one strike to get ahead and then spamming balls. Learn to throw competitive pitches?

Alot of players don't realize how predictable they actually are when pitching. Once you figure put a pattern they are easier to hit against. Doesn't always result in wins but it helps.

I have 55 event wins and couldn't tell you if a single opponent used contact swing or not.
Why go over 50? And how would you know, you manually counting so you brag here?

Exactly. I don’t like throwing 9 pitches in an AB either, but it’s easier to blame
️ than to pitch better. -

Wow really!!! If it’s so OP then use it yourself. Honestly the complaining about something as mundane as the contact swing is really sorry excuse. BTW, I haven’t seen any issues with this at all. My question is how can you tell what swing he is using. I’m guessing that you’re just assuming that’s what is being used. And please don’t tell me that you can tell because of the pci feedback. That’s a bs argument because pci size doesn’t dramatically change until HOF difficulty.
Feedback, typically if the outer pci aka vision and inner pci are larger than the strike zone than you know. Also the answer to fixing an exploit is not saying “just use it yourself”, that’s usually the response of someone abusing said exploit.

I'm actually at 45/50. I thought the max was 60 and knew I was 5 away from the top. Even if I were 5 over, how is that a brag? It's a meaningless 3-inning event where most people quit if you go up by 2-3 runs early.

Got ya. The event won’t count wins over the max amount so if you were at 55, only way you would have known was if you take the time to keep track yourself of those meaningless wins as the game doesn’t.
Sorry to give you a hard time, some people on here love to come on to flex post over silly things. Obviously you weren’t doing it. Cheers.

Yeah you can see your own pci feedback you can’t see that feedback from your opponents pci that’s why many of us are trying to figure out how somebody knows that a contact swing is being used.

You can definitely see your opponents PCI feedback this year. Whether it's accurate or not is a different story but you can definitely see it

Ill say it again. Feedback doesnt work!!!! Sds even said it. Nobody listens

How is using contact swing an exploit? It is a feature of the game that has always been used. I get that it needs to be tweaked and I only use it with two strikes as I always have, but why would people not use it? There should definitely be a nerf to power when using it but we just going to expect people not to use it until they fix it?

No offense but This is the dumbest response I have ever heard..... in real life when players are behind in the count the look to make contact instead of driving the ball. By making contact they just want to get the ball in play, Usually they are doing this when in a position where they have to advance a runner. Watch every at bat for Michael Brantley. The best contact hitter in baseball. He approaches every at bat like this and just hits singles and doubles left and right. But in this game the contact swing has the same reward as power swing except the PCI is double in size.
"iF iT's So Op ThEn UsE iT yOuRsElF"... No. The game shouldnt be based on who can get the most lucky and hit homeruns using contact swing. It completely eliminates actual pitching in the game. You pitch it anywhere from 6 inches outside and in and it has a high probability of getting blasted. So the "corners" are now a foot outside but of course no one is going to swing at it. Contact swings need patched and there's no argument against it.

It's easy to tell when the contact P.C.I. is almost double the size of the normal P.C.I. and another way to tell is normal swing will not foul off pitches in the dirt and contact will.

I'm at 38 wins and have been having a blast been playing so well in the Gold Glovers one. I use normal swing all day and crush the ball. I couldn't tell you if my opponent is using contact swing there is no where that tells you the type of swung
After they swing just look at the feedback in the bottom of the screen. You'll know if it's contact because the entire [censored] box is yellow lmao.

Ya no [censored] that's how it should be but when contact swing is so OP the corners of the strikezone are pushed even further out and a good hitter will take those pitches all day. It has nothing to do with inducing weak contact.... if contact swing produced actual contact swing results then yeah that's how everyone should approach it. Contact swing gives power swing results far to often and with a double the size PCI.
Do you even know what and when a MLB player in real life would be using a "contact swing"? Because it's a real thing... it's not just a button on a video game.

I bet nothing has changed with contact swing since it was introduced. The fact that people can see that you’re doing it (or so they claim) is what started this. It’s probably been happening forever and no one really knew.
That being said, I’ve noticed nothing wrong. It’s on AS. People will occasionally get home runs with their pci barely on the ball; it’s part of that difficulty. Nothing is new here. I only use contact swings if there are two strikes and I need to move a runner over (or guy on third, less than two outs).
In reality, if you notice someone is using contact swings and it beats you, that’s on you. Just like people that use directional, you can take advantage of them. Figure it out.

Every time I use contact swing it's an out.
I want to hear from people who say "Yes, I use contact swing and it's OP as hell" -
I'm 18-2 (0) one loss was disconnect while winning, other was a disconnect before pitch was thrown. I can honestly say that I don't think I've used contact swing unless my pitcher was hitting or I had a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs. I have faced a few guys that I could tell were contact swinging like hell, didn't bother me at all. Last guy I played used it pretty much every at bat, and only scored 2 runs. It was on HOF. If I don't score 3 runs in my games I deserve to lose.
