So is it bad I want to influence a fly ball all the time lol and can I use power only?

Do you have to hold the L stick throughout the at-bat? Or can I just pick a direction pre-pitch and then let go of the stick.. will the swing still be influenced?

You have to hold it. It works in the EXACT same way as MVP BASEBALL's hitting interface. its pretty much the same mechanic, except with the addition of camera shifts and visual indicators.

I'm confuse now what to use zone or directional

Yea, also agree that this version of directional hitting was a waste. They SHOULDVE incorporated an mvp style of zone that merged PCI hitting with timing. Where the user try to influence contact by aimin for correct zone without full control of a PCI marker. Feels like they're really focussing on the wrong things to tweak.

I actually thinkkk that directional hitting was molded after mvp's system. in mvp you didnt actually aim for correct zone, but instead your aim determined direction. not ability to make contact
