@SchnauzerFace said in Hitting struggles:

I’m really not very good at this game, but this has helped me enormously: someone recently posted about resting your thumb completely on top of the thumb stick so you’re sort of rotating your thumb to move the pci. After reading that, I realized I had been resting my thumb along the bottom edge of the stick, so I was having to “push” up or “pull” down and it was really hard to accurately reach all corners. It was especially hard to make corrections (ex: if I pushed up and then realized it’s a big 12-6 curve it would be really hard to stop and pull the stick back down).

I may not be explaining this well, but it’s helped me. It’s taken some time to relearn how to move the stick but it’s definitely making a difference.

EDIT: also, I have started positioning myself so my left thumb is perfectly lined up with the starting position of the pci. Before I was a little off center so I could lean on the couch armrest, but this has made it a little easier for my brain to track exactly where to put the pci without having to adjust for my off center POV

First part of your post I will definitely try. Don’t really understand the second part though .

2 months in, and I just can’t seem to put several good hitting games in a row together. I’m consistently last in every hitting category in my league. I know I have to have more patience at the plate but as far as the pci goes Do you guys that are good at hitting have a gameplan /approach or do you just see/pick up the pitches well and go hit it?

@Crimson_Monk said in Internet speeds make a difference?:

Are you playing on a different screen? Her tv may have bad refresh rate or it isn’t on game mode. That or you play on monitor at home and tv at her place?

Yes it is a smaller older tv

How do I actually check the ping times

So This could be a complete coincidence and all in my head... but I play the game at my apartment and my girls. At my girls I suck! That’s where I play most of the time too. But the couple times I’ve played at my place lately I’m 9-0!! Come back to her place and can’t win a game again. The internet speed at her place is significantly better and I’ve noticed my pitch meter is significantly faster there. Could this be affecting my hitting too? I noticed I wa[censored]ting the fastball well at my place then couldn’t catch up all of a sudden at hers. 9-0 is just too large of a sample size, gotta be a reason I’m so much better at my place than hers. Any feedback on connections of internet speed to success?

I am the commish

In my league I’m in a battle for the 4 seed. It’s showing someone with the same record above me even though I swept the season series and have scored more runs than him? Anyone else know How it’s determined ?
