Wanna Hit Better?

Maybe this will help some folks...

I press in L3 to get more control of the PCI then I just wait on my pitch. My thumb is positioned like I'm 70 to 75 degree angle, the head of the thumb mainly. YOU HAVE to let the pitcher throw and make them work. Batting is not quick and it is not easy. Press in L3 at every pitch and flick it with timing of the pitchers throws. I guarantee you that you will crack your bat properly!

as a pitcher I find this horrifying and unacceptable

j/k - as a Mendoza-type hitter I'd try it, except I prefer directional hitting. still, good to know

The PCI is too loosey-goosey so you have to push down on the L3 and hold it like its an actual button. Put that head of your thumb on that L3 and hold it there. Man I'm playing Franchise with my Royals on Dynamic difficulty and I'm at Legend hitting smh (unreal on how good I've became). And then follow that ball when it's in the zone. Most importantly, it ALL ABOUT TIMING. Hit the ball too early, you're screwed, but just sit on the pitch guys. On offense, baseball is all about besting that pitcher.

I can't get any worse so I guess there is only one way to go.

Well my advice is completely different, but worked for me. I don't touch the pci, leave it dead center, try to only swing at pitches right down the middle. Has helped me work more walks too as I chase much less. For reference I always struggled batting until I started this. Now I float from legend to legend+ on dynamic. Only problem is I feel like I hit into a ton of double plays, but that's been my Achilles heel as long as I've played the show.

I wish they would introduce a slider for the sensitivity of the PCI, because like you, I think its too loosey-goosey.

So if you hold in L3 like a button press you can't move the PCI? It just sticks until you release the button?
