I wouldn't care if they separated it, but i can't get past your "Pci is cheese" thing, it's far from cheesy to use zone lol
It takes skill to use for sure. By cheese I meant that good pitching isn't rewarded since someone can take pitches at the head or shin level and rock them 450+ feet with the PCI.

I use zone, but it would be better if the result was actually more indicative of the swing/point of contact. 1. The pci ranges way too far out of zone. 2. Way to much hard contact on pitches far out of the zone. Couple that with the awful timing windows. Early swings on down and away sliders should not be pulled for homeruns.
Agreed, 100%. Good pitching isn't rewarded. Most "good" pitching in a Zone vs Zone hitting game is just high fastballs that you can't catch up to, or offspeed in the dirt that they chased. Really bad for pitching altogether.
I honestly think there needs to be different matchmaking systems for the different types of hitting. Zone is not fun online cause making good pitches doesn't matter when the guy can smack a ball at head level 480 feet to left field. It takes skill to do this yes, but if I want to play with say directional or pure analog hitting then make it so I play against people who also play with that setting so it is an even playing field. I play offline with Zone hitting while on HoF difficulty so I don't feel like CPU cheese can always screw me over, but online I like to use directional hitting as most players try to cheese swings with pitches way out of the zone. Using directional hitting isn't enough though. As much as I walk or get solid base hits and homers off of mistake pitches, the other guy will just rock anything I throw at him cause of the PCI being absolute cheese if they know how to use it properly. Again, no disrespect towards those that use it, as it takes skill, but seriously let us match via hitting controls instead of just rating. Would make Diamond Dynasty a lot more attractive to those who don't use Zone hitting.
