Lack of home runs is infuriating

I've played through probably 12 franchise games and I don't remember hitting a SINGLE home run. Honestly have no idea why, but I've had this issue in RTYS too. I play on PCI and all star, and even with human power turned up 3 clicks I am still yet to hit one. Last year was a perfect balance, don't know if they changed it or what.

Most of us are seeing the exact opposite. Seems like 90% of my runs come via the long ball.

You have no idea what I would give for that. I consistently get meat pitches on down the middle that I guess correctly, completely square the ball, and have green timing, yet it still doesn't even get close to the warning track with guys like Mazara, Gallo, and Odor.

Try turning your contact or solid hits up a notch or two. Also if you are continually late or early on timing, adjust that up accordingly.

I'm definitely seeing the opposite. I've lowered the power slider to 1 (for testing purposes) and I'm still seeing homers.

What settings are you on? I might want to test them out

Also what hitting cam are you using? I tried Fish Eye for awhile but it was screwing with my timing. I was late on everything so started slumping in RTTS. Switched to The Show 16 cam and got my timing back.
