    I really enjoy playing this game. However, if batters are going to be rewarded with this much of a safe net then playing this game on All-Star or lower difficulty is actually just not worth your time. This contact swing nonsense has made BR and the Event essentially unplayable unless you want to randomly roll the dice on the outcome. Sure, I get it, we all can contact swing.... but at some point it just becomes unplayable and not enjoyable for me.... is anyone else having similar experiences.....
    these players were given foul balls on these swings....

    2 things: we don’t know what the outcome was; a foul ball? And second, I have never seen that, feedback from opponent is wrong: every single pitch thrown by my opponents have very late release...

    I would like to see what is on my opponents screen. I throw a lot of perfects and it says that on my screen. Wonder if it says that on my opponent's.

    I have played streamers a couple times this year and I turned on their stream to see the feedback and when I contact swing their feedback was correct and when i regular swung the feedback was correct. People that say the feedback is wrong are just saying that there is no proof that it doesn't work. Don't compare the pitching feedback to the hitting feedback. When the PCI is half the size of the strike zone They are contact swinging no doubt about it. Watch any streamer on Twitch and they will tell you that they are contact swinging.

    TBH, the only difference I see with certainty is the outer PCI, which is plate vision; regular and contact inner PCI is hard to tell if there’s a difference or my eye is playing tricks or I want to see a difference. But a hit is possible on those for sure

    It's easier to see on hall of fame.. the pci is much smaller than on all star so when you see a big pci on hof and your pitcher confidence isn't really low its more than likely contact swing. Do both when you are hitting and look at your feedback. Its pretty obvious imo.

    I had to step away from the online play because its bad. Players are hitting bombs when the pci isnt close to the ball. I even caught myself hitting bombs when my pci is no where near the plate. The offline play is great though
