Hitting is impossible! HELP!

[JayBruce32]

Hitting is impossible on all star. Not enough contact. What am I Doug wrong? Does the left stick affect hitting? Seems when I place the left stick in the area of the pitch it messes it up more. No power whatsoever from anyone, just a bunch of punch and Judy singles. This isn't realistic at all. What am I doing wrong? My guys are swinging and missing by entire feet. Ugliest swings I've ever seen. Struck out 17 and then 12 times

Lower the difficulty, and learn to get the timing down. If you can't hit on All-Star, try Pro or Rookie. They created sliders an difficulty settings for a reason.

Maybe you didn't read it correctly. I just won a game 4 to 3 and it was a bloop fest. You didn't really add much there you just stated the obvious. I want to know how to improve my hitting on all star difficulty. What does the left joystick do to a swing? Why does the swing stick work only when using no left stick? You can basically put it in play with every hitter but there are no line drives, and no fly balls deep. The power swing stick seems to not work at all. It's non existent

I think the game should play well out of the box. We shouldnt have to use sliders and such. I agree, hitting on allstar is difficult but I like that. And it is very hard to get good wood on the ball

No response Jayhawker!

I took Jayhawk's advice and posted in another thread about doing rookie. It's good I can play rookie batting and all-star pitching

I actually agree, having a VERY difficult time hitting on All-Star. Even when I'm not early or late, for some reason I'm just not making a lot of contact. I'm going to raise User Contact and Power to about 50, that should make it a bit more realistic.

hitting in baseball games (especially with the hit stick) takes ALOT of getting use to. In time you'll get the hang of it and be crushing all pitching in no time. In my first week or so of playing I can barely hit the ball on pro difficulty, but once I get the hang of it I can usually hit pretty well on all-star.
