This new timing window really messed things up, I'm have never struggled like this before. I was playing 12 until 13's release and I'm struggling on timing hitting. I tried zone in batting practice but it doesn't make much sense to me plus moving the thing around is hard lol. Please SCEA please change it back to last year version.

Fair Enough.
Not sure why the guys in your league don't like it though...It is giving them an advantage when they pitch to you as they know you can't cover all of the plate?

I have always played zone and I don't have a ton of luck moving and hitting either.

I tend to move my left stick to a location before the pitch and try to connect if the ball comes into that zone.

When i'm playing cpu i tend to drop down to contact swing with 2 strikes and just sit in the middle. I usually can fight a few foul ball strikes and take a few balls until the count is back to a more manageable 3-2.

This probably wouldn't work as well vs another player...unless you get to know their pitching habits.

Again i'm not a very good hitter and probably should trying timing

Anticipate based on the situation. If a pitcher is looking to induce a ground ball, keep the pci lower to get a more solid liner. If you feel the pitch may be up. Heep the pci up. If you a ahead in the count if you dont ger the zone you are looking for, take it. Even if it is a strike.

While i do think your advice is on point it is the reason that i choose not to use zone..if that makes sense.

If like you say expect a pitch up move the PCI up...problem is that anything thrown high out of the strike zone i am swinging at because i have the PCI up there,same thing with your low comment if i place it low i will swing at anything low even if it is a curve in the dirt.
I just can't distinguish balls and strikes while positioning the PCI off centre....so thankfully there is Timing hitting..
