Is the power swing stronger in 10 than 09?

Is it just me, or is the power swing button a lot more effective in 10 than 09.
Or maybe I just didn't know how to use the Power swing in 09.

If I hit any ball down the middle or anywhere a portion on the plate, its 90% of the time a double or HR. And I play with Hitting on Legend with everything default except Fielder run speed.

I don't remember it like this before, I remember it caused more pop ups and weak grounders. But this year, it just rakes everything if you use it with a power hitter. I'm hitting HR's at least once a game with Jason Bay.

Maybe it's just me but I suspect that at least one of the developer's are BIG Jason Bay fans if you know what I mean.

It's not just Jason Bay....
I have a rookie with high power, low contact and low plate vision, and if he hits anything with Power string, he just rakes it. He's hitting .375 at the end of the first month in the season with a slugging percentage of .783.

Yea I was actually hitting .500 with Jason Bay half way through April and he had 6 HR's, I actually had to sim some games to bring his .BA to a more realistic level.
If you hit a ball over the plate with Power Swing, it usually in the gap, off the wall, HR, or if it is a grounder, usually the grounder gets through the infield too fast for a infielder to do anything with it.

Do you pitch on LEGEND as well!? You are the man! I play on Hall of Fame for both pitching and hitting and my pitching struggles on HofFame. I am ranked 27th in the League in ERA.

I can't pitch on Legend.....
Its too cheesy, theres no easy outs, cpu pitchers hitting HR's isn't an anomaly on Legend pitching. I can only pitch on HOF. Its a lot easier to Hit if your patient and learn the cpu's tendencies than to Pitch in this game.

The power swing is not cheese in my opinion because there is no check swing with it. It is all or none.
