ALL of my home runs are with contact swing...

[andyacecandy]

Literally all of my home runs are using contact swing (circle)... 8 total so far.

Wtf?

[NEOPARADIGM]

Coincidence?

Beyond that, have you never barreled-up a baseball before? You don't have to swing out of your shoes to make the ball go a long way. A quality, even, level swing is all that's required in many cases.

It's so weird.

I only use circle when I'm behind in the count 0-2, 1-2, sometimes 2-2 and full count depending on the situation.

8 times now it's been a homerun lol. I know sometimes this could happen, but it kinda defeats the purpose of even having a power swing (square) button for me

What difficulty and what team do you use?

I only have 2 homeruns with my Astros. I have the most with normal and quite a few with power.

The contact swing is out of whack this year. Even though Ramone said there were no changes to it specifically, something in the game is affecting it causing a power boost.

Hasn't it always been like that? I've only hit 3 homers with power swing in 7am years and they all came online in this years version. Contact swing os the way to go.

No it was fine last year. Occasional home run is totally fine now the contact swing feels like the normal swing with the enlarged PCI bonus.

My friend, who uses the Phillies almost exclusively, has hit multiple contact swing home runs off me with Ben Revere.

I think it's safe to say that the contact swing is a tad overpowered in this game.

There are no real disadvantages to using it over the other two swing types, considering you can still hit plenty of extra base hits and home runs, while it boosts your PCI quite a bit more than a normal or power swing.
