How many of you are successful at hitting homeruns with a normal swing instead of a power swing? I really enjoy the hitting in this game but I have a feeling I may have to bump up the power some.

Is there a power swing in this game? ..... I have yet to see it. I'm batting on classic(button press, not analog).

I use analog and I have got most of my HR's on the Contact swing, only one on Power Swing

Here is how I play. I do not call the swing power and contact anymore. The contact swing is to weak to be considered a swing imo.

I play that power is normal swing, contact is defensive swinging and defensive swing is foul off pitches protect the plate.

If I start hitting to many hr this way I move the power slider down, If Im getting to many hits I lower the contact slider.

The other way you can play is the way everyone does with power swing, contact and defensive as is but then I would bump up the power and lower contact sliders.

Either way works just depends on your thought process.

It seems like whenever I use the contact swing I hit grounders, weak liners, and weak pop-ups. Maybe my timing is not right? I skipped this serious last year, so I might need more practice yet.

That's exactly what I'm doing....... again ,I play with "classic" controls.. no analog.

Just spent some time in batting practice and stroked one 412 feet with Lee (BALT) using contact swing with L stick down to influence ground ball. So yes you can get homers with contact. The ball was up in the zone around the middle so he laid solid wood on it even though he was supposed to keep it down. I did notice his trajectory is different than a weak hitter as everything tended to get lifted. His grounders were of the hard, one-bounce variety. When I used Aybar of the Angels I could dribble groundballs all over the place.

I think I'm going to try this:

Power hitters:

Power swing on 3-0, 3-1 & 2-0 counts
Defensive Swing on 0-2
Contact swing with everything else

Contact hitters:

Power Swing on 3-0, 3-1, 2-0 & 2-1 counts
Contact swing everything else
