@jonblaze2424_PSN said in How do you guys hit on HOF and Legend?:
My lord. I’m getting no hit and 1 hit every event game this is lame as hell
It is simple, but difficult. I am older with slower reflexes so there is that. I found that it takes me about 12-15 innings or so to get my timing up high enough to be somewhat competitive at the plate, at those higher speeds. So I will usually lose the first game or two unless I practice first. Sometimes going to BR, Events, or vs CPU on Legend, helps get the timing up.
-
See the pitch out of the Pitcher's hand. With time, you can hope to pick up most balls and strikes within .25 seconds or so. Focus on the Pitcher's hat during the windup so you will be ready to pick up the ball out of his hand quicker.
-
Do not cover the whole plate. Not even most major leaguers (save for Vlad Sr.) trys to do that. Focus on a part of the zone and stay disciplined and do not chase. When you get 2 strikes, just focus on making contact within the zone.
-
Do not be too concerned with your pci accuracy at this point. In a competitive game, timing is more pressing, unless you are a YouTube star and have bionic reflexes. Just see the pitch quickly and let your instincts do the rest. You do not want to think too much. "Be quick, but don't hurry" John Wooden.
-
Practice. Turn up pitch speeds to max on Legend difficulty and practice timing certain pitches at various parts of the zone. Practice laying off pitches too. For PCI accuracy, practice by going into RTTS as a Catcher and practice receiving pitches within various parts of the zone.
-
Patience and Discipline are your allies. Bring your opponent back to the plate. You do this by laying off junk. Get to 2-3 balls and you will get your pitch within the strike zone. Do not be afraid to take a pitch or two during your at bats. Wait for a mistake, and make contact.
-
Pay attention to your opponent's tendencies and take advantage of that. Do not think too hard though. If you think too much, you will be late on everything. Again, let your instincts take over.
-
Make your opponent work for outs. Just do your part and you will eat. You will get beat, but so what. If you stick to your strategy, and are disciplined and patient, you will have some success and most importantly, will improve.

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" - Iron Mike. ......You will get blown away by fastballs and look silly on junk. That's ok, just get back up and keep your focus. I lost my share of late inning games because my opponent kept their focus. I lost a few years ago 8-7 after being up 7-0 goung into the 9th. My opponent got back up and stayed poised. I will never forget that game. That needs to be your mind set.
