I don’t understand hitting
-
I get really good contact perfect timing and the pitch is right down the middle but it’s never a hit. The only hits I ever seem to get is when I’m either super early or super late. Whenever I get great timing and really good timing I’m lucky if it’ll get past the infield, usually I just get pop flys to the outfield. My contact is 96 and my power is in the low 70’s and I’ve used every type of swing with the exact same contact. Does anyone else have this problem because I wish the game would give me some direction in how it wants me to swing at the ball because by all the metrics the game gives me I’m hitting the ball well and doing everything I should but the game refuses the translate that into actual hits. Getting really annoyed with the game now.

What difficulty are you playing on? Counterintuitively, having a PCI that is too big actually makes it slightly harder to get good contact since your PCI covers most of the strike zone and being in the PCI doesn't guarantee good contact. you generally need to be closer to the center to square a ball up, and a larger PCI goes against that. Try changing the difficulty up to veteran or all star (my recommendation) if you haven't already, and if you are playing on those higher difficulties just head into custom practice mode/challenge of the week and take BP.
If you pick the BP option, I recommend that you put the difficulty on a speed where you can ensure that you are consistently putting PCI on baseball. Your brain will adjust to the speeds, but if you aren't good at aiming the PCI then practicing on legend with max sliders won't do much for you.

Had the same issue, my son played this before I did and changed the hitting to directional and I assumed that was the default setting. Had a lot of the issues you mentioned too. As noted above, once I swapped to the pci I was far better off. I still struggle but it feels far easier to make solid contact, especially on the constant barrage of low offspeed pitches everyone tends to throw
