    Screenshot of weak popup on near perfect contact

    And I had contacts more close to the center of the pci ended up with similar results, just that I didn't screenshot.

    Understand this is early contact on a low outside pitch, but I adjusted the human power slider 3 ticks to the right and had 99 power. The average exit velo I hit with this card was about 98mph on near perfect early swing to low outside pitches because I was testing that. During my test I noticed that there were about 15~20% chance where the near perfect pci placement with early, just early or good timing ended up with very weak result, which means lower than 86mph exit velo and very high launch angle. I changed the difficulty to hof and this was still happening, but was like 5% or less. Then I changed to all star and never saw that happen in like 30 near perfect pci placement swings.

    My guess is that the default human solid contact slider for legend being too low is the reason for this. I didn't adjust that so it's all default value. This combined with about 15% chance of hitting no pci homerun makes the experience in legend very bad. Unless you are the few top guys who can hit very well in legend, you may only get 3~4 contacts like this in an entire game. With 15~20% chance, it's not uncommon to see 2 out of those 3~4 end up with weak popup. And when your opponent hits 2 no pci homeruns in the same game, that can make you very mad.

    My recommendation is to tune the human solid contact slider back to normal, so whenever you make a near perfect contact like this, the ball should never become a weak popup. Understand that this will benefit those top players more, and this kind of RNG may be the only way to limit them. But I am okay with them hitting homeruns on contacts like this, in exchange for not letting my already very low amount of contacts like this end up as weak contacts.
