Can Jazz Chisholm Jr hit an home run?
-
Hi guys,
I am new to the game and the franchise. I have been playing for about ten weeks now. I am still a very less than average player. But I won the championship in one mini-season a couple of days ago. So, there is progress.
When I push myself into The Show 25, I did not know what I was doing. I did not understand half the concept, like Conquest or Programs. I just played by ear.
Now, I have progress a lot in the game (at least, I think). I complete almost all the programs. I have unlock the all-star voucher for every team.
So, in the past days, I had not much to play for (I don't play online). So I went back to the programs I have not completed yet. One of then was the Easter thingy.
I made my research and finally understand what I had to do to finish it. I put my little toe into Conquest, a mode I never played before. I got the eggs I needed - and unlock some cool cards I even did not know exist.
If I talk about all this, it's because I just need to finish one moment to end the program. This moment is the one where Jazz Chisholm Jr must hit an home run.
I don't know if I will ever be able to do it. The guy have 87 for power. And he seems to hit with a rubber bat. In about 200 tries, I did not hit a single ball that had an exit volicity higher than 90.
The thing is: I have several guys on my team that have around 87 for power. Joe Mauer and Spencer Steer, to name a few. Every time I hit a ball with these two guys, I hit it with authority. I feel that there is a chance to hit the alley or the fence.
I do not have the same feeling at all with Chisholm.
I got to say that I don't play with the PSI (PCI?). I use timing swing. Could this be the issue? And I am the only one who is having the same problem with Chisholm?
One thing is certain: if I ever unlock Chisholm card, I will NEVER use it in a game. It will have a special place on my bench in hell...

Well, you have done great for being brand new to DD as you have got a lot done and figured out a lot of things.
For that Chisolm Moment, try using Directional hitting wait for the pitcher to start his motion, and push up and to the right (to pull a fly ball) and just time up a ball that is on the center/inside part of the plate.
Zone hitting with the PCI will be the most rewarding of the hitting interfaces, but it has a bit of a learning curve to it. When you fell comfortable to try it out and spend some time to learn how to do well with it, I would say give it a shot and you will understand why so many people prefer to use it (and why the top players use it).
