    For me, i have all sound muted, so i have never heard a second of commentary.

    I'm sure everyone has something about the way they play the game that others might find odd, be it your camera choice, your sound options or your choice of PCI.

    What's yours?

    Thanks for all the replies, lads.
    Genuinely fascinating to see how different we all play.

    Comms muted aside, my settings are pretty standard, largely because I was new to the game last year so just went with standard settings and they kinda stuck.

    Do you use the metered throws from fielding then because I'll be honest I never got that timing down so I still just use the buttons lol

    Probably not weird but Under Display >Pitch History > I use custom. It’s set up for when I hit the Right Trigger during an at bat it shows me the last 25 pitches, there location and pitch category.

    I turn my pci off visually and just put it were pitch is. It keeps me from being distracted with stuff on the screen and I swear I’ve become a better hitter because of it!!

    Analog pitching with all sounds muted. Only time I have turned my monitor speakers on was for the negro leagues storylines. Which I must say, Bob Kendrick is terrific.

    I put two thin strips of Post It notes on my monitor where the outside of the strike zone is...

    @MarioMendoza935_XBL yo that’s awesome, I did this at the start of year too, but made a plus sign over the pitcher to help me learn release points on pitch types faster.

    I use zone hitting but turn my pci off. I can’t hit unless my strike zone is clean, my own pci distracts me.

    I thought I was the only one that uses directional.
    Do you move the joystick at the same time as you're pressing hit or try to time it out? I'm same time but I have a DaulSense Edge, use R2 to swing and have the delay set to 35. How I ever hit a fastball is surprising.

    I hit on fisheye. I am sure most people use strike zone. I just think it looks better on fisheye

    @Onix_Savage22_PSN

    Yea I would get hung up on high and inside pitches and no matter what color or how light I turn the pci color down it always sort of hindered my view. Ever since this change I focus less on pci placement and I’m able to track pitches way better. I also have gone to reading leg kicks so that helps as well but turning off the pci just works so well for me!!

    I almost always have music on while playing.
    I even sleep with it on, which makes dreams interesting!
