These are just dumb posts ,, so one swing out of the 30 or 40 that game triggers people... Weird... What do people think contact swing should do?
Contact swing should be used to avoid striking out and putting the ball in play not hitting 460 foot moonshots over the scoreboard with a hitter that has power in the 70s or 80s. If that's what contact swing can do then why ever use normal swing? If you get the same results as far as contact and exit velocity, why make your pci smaller using normal swing? Contact swing is a joke. Even these YouTube turds are abusing it saying there's no reason not to use it. On all star the outer pci is bigger than the strike zone quite often. Its the reason balls nowhere near the middle pci are tipped off. Its almost impossible to strike out in all star using contact swing unless you are new to the game.
The first sentence is exactly what these goobers on here need to understand. Clowns like bwheel think "contact" is hitting the ball in any way. Contact swings are for the batter protecting themself in the at bat when they are behind in the count. Michael Brantley is one of if not the best contact hitter in baseball. Like 75% of his hits are singles. That's what a contact swing is. I lol at guys like Bwheel on here who are just clearly not baseball players and just video gamers.
Regardless of the issue at hand, why do you talk like this? You’re discrediting yourself each time.
Bully mentality. They think they make their point more valid by calling people names.

More like 1.25% bigger but I agree

Contact swing is always overpowered for the other guy. Just like with directional hitting I find myself wondering why, if it is so good, doesn't everyone use it?

That's terrible. How is that a hit? Not playing online till contact swing is addressed.Thank you for making my point kid!!! It’s not even close to 3X bigger hell it’s not even a quarter larger than normal swing. And you’re complaining about this!!! Gtfo, if you’re triggered by this then maybe you should seek professional help. IT A FLIPPING VIDEO GAME. If you’re not having fun stop playing and do something else. You’ve been complaining about this the whole year. It’s old, it’s not productive, and quite frankly makes you sound like a spoiled and entitled crybaby. Get over it!!! ️

Well once the game’s “random number generator” decides it’s your turn to lose an online game then your opponent will win regardless of the hitting mode they’re using…
If it’s not a bomb then it will be a “very late” swing that ends up going right pass a diamond fielder and/or some other ridiculous type of outcome which has nothing to do with user input of either player…meanwhile SDS continues to justify using the same flawed RNG code year after year despite all the (negative) feedback users give them right here in their own forum

It may not be 3x as large, but it’s a heck of a lot bigger than a quarter larger. You need to refer back to math and area of a circle if you can’t see the difference. It’s approximately 2X as big. Maybe someone else on here has the time and willingness to do an exact measurement. That’s assuming the pictures are the exact same size as well, otherwise it will be extremely difficult.

I actually managed to find the time to do the math, and it’s 1.75x larger than normal, which is significant.
The real issue isn’t the size of the contact circle though, it’s the exit velocity that is allowed for the swing type. They really need to cut the power in the swing to roughly about 50% or so of a normal swing, which is where it should be.
-
Make contact swing efficiency on normal and vice versa. Normal doesn’t feel rewarding at all. I only use contact on 2-strike counts, even if my opponent uses it all the time; but if he takes the lead with that garbage, all bets are off until I tie it again.
-
If we are being honest with ourselves there shouldn’t be more than one swing. I get the idea and it fits well into the video game mold because of the various cards but if it can’t be executed properly then let’s just simplify it for the sake of everyones sanity lol. At the end of the day a players swing is a player swing. They aren’t going to change it drastically to make contact because they shouldn’t have to. If they couldn’t hit the ball they wouldn’t be in the MLB or let alone be a legend. I understand people can choke up on the bat and mentally tell themselves I’m going to have a shorter/quicker swing but at the end of the day that swing will be almost identical to their normal swing they will just a different approach mentally. Everyone has different exit velocities because everyone is built different, have different launch angles, etc. They just need to find a way to tie exit velocities into PCI placement and overall statistics of the card. How they do that I don’t know because I am a big dumbo but I can’t imagine it hurting the game at this point.

Crazy how this was even in the game to begin with but worse how it's still in it lol

Lmao math isn't your strong suit... To be 3x as big the PCI would need to go from 1/3 the size of the strike zone to the full strike zone (horizontally) ... This PCI is going from about 2/3 or 3/4 to the full size (horizontally).
And Jesus look how big that PCI is, are you on veteran????

WHAT? Have you ever played baseball in your life? Do you have any concept of protecting with two strikes or slapping oppo on a hit and run? Guys change their approach all the time.
-
Ill be honest my dudes.
Im an X,X,O player - the O being on 2 strikes - in this game hovered around the 450-600 range, win 3, lose 3
I went to contact exclusive and wow. Ive won about 9/10 i nearly made 700 but the only game i lost was to someone who got to 900+ in the final game of ranked for the season.
It is broken, but in a way, its more fun to hit bombs and doubles, than it is to constantly roll over pitches for soft outs.
-
You know that [censored] is broken when you hit HRs with pitchers using contact swing. I’ve done it like 4 times cause I always use contact with them.

Probably more than you have pal. I played division one baseball. If you got higher than that ill tip my hat. But like you just said in your post “approach”. Having an approach is going into an at bat with a mental picture/scenario/idea of what you are looking for, what you expect (if you’ve been paying attention to the pitchers tendencies), and what you are going to do if you get what you expect…it’s legitimately all mental lol. The swing at its entirety won’t change. Now I can get on board with a hit and run because I’d consider it an extreme circumstance…which you may be correct on because you absolutely have to put your bat on the ball…regardless of location…so that is going to more than likely warrant a wonky swing unlike any of the normals ones. But go look at a majority of players 0-2 swing compared to a players 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 2-0 swing…sure they may stick their [censored] out and slap a few foul because they are either fooled or are trying to “keep the battle going, raise the pitchers pitch count” but when they actually take a good swing on a ball in or around the zone the swing is the same and that’s what I’m trying to get at. Good lord why does everyone on here have to be so hostile. I can agree with you on some 0-2 pitches where the batter pokes the ball foul and it looks hideous and clearly isn’t a normal swing and hit and runs but other than that their swing will be identical on singles, doubles, triples, home runs, swings and misses because consistency is what makes the elite players elite. You won’t have consistency if you have three different swings depending on different counts.

You're clearly not a baseball player. Stick to Dungeons and Dragons.
I played college ball but you know... Contact swing isn't broken. You will not get consistent exit velos by using it. Will you get an occasional? yes.

Shouldn’t be in the game. If you want to take a power swing for a exit velo boost and shink your pci to the size of the baseball so be it. If you want to make your pci the size of the strike zone so you can flail about and foul off pitches early, late, in the dirt, 3 feet above your head without moving your pci maybe go play conquest on rookie.
This is not a good argument. I think a better argument is that the perfect window should be smaller on contact swing similiar to power swing. It seems to be the same as what normal swing is and that is a fair argument to make. Saying it shouldn't be in the game because you don't like what it does isn't a valid criticism.

Its the reason balls nowhere near the middle pci are tipped off. Its almost impossible to strike out in all star using contact swing unless you are new to the game.
Because you are not getting those 460 bombs all the time. Again, contact swing isn't going to produce good exit velos consistently. People only remember the bomb and not the 20 routine fly's that people piece almost perfectly. The only argument is that contact swing's perfect perfect window seems to be the same as normal swing and in my opinion that should not be the case. Balls are tipped because a card has good vision. The outer ring is what causes the tips.

Normal swing doesn't produce good exit velocities consistently either. The game as a whole is inconsistent. You can square up a 95mph FB and it will be a moonshot one at bat and a 87mph exit velocity routine fly another at bat with the same hitter. I know what the outer pci represents and its the reason why its almost impossible to strike out on all star. And if the outer pci is to tip the ball to avoid a strikeout, why are there many times where you get a hit or homerun or even a fly ball if it is just suppose to "cause the tips?" Plus the outer pci becomes bigger than the strike zone using contact swing. It takes skill and pci placement out of the game. This game will never be competitive in its current form.
