Best button to swing with?
Which button produces the most all around hits? I've been using X(PS4) but been in a real slump. What yall think?Seminoles/Bucs/RaysTags: None -
Re: Best button to swing with?
probably using O is best because it gives you the best chance to hit the ball. power is used very rarely because it only seems to help at all when you know a fastball is coming from down the heart and you can get everything on it. but even if you O that pitch you can still send it over the walls.Toronto Blue Jays

Re: Best button to swing with?
I play RTTS and spent several seasons focusing on trying to hit with power swing and had terrible numbers. My last 5 seasons I used X about 90% of the time and saw my average go up about 20-30 points. My HRs did drop from about 30 to low 20's, but my player is also 40 years old now.Comment

FYI game manual says to use O rarely, like to avoid the K with a man on third and one out. Square is solid contact less often but solid contact means it will go farther. I use X mostly, square with runner on first or nobody on and two out, generally. Not with Ben Revere though.Comment

Re: Best button to swing with?
I'm an X man as well. I get all kinds of hits from it, including plenty of home runs.

Square causes more strike outs for me, and when it does connect, it seems to generate lots of ground outs and pop flies, even when the cursor looks to be squared up.
O has the best plate coverage, but it also has very little power, so you'll ground out a lot.Comment

I use X until I have two strikes on me, then switch to O. I rarely use Square, as it feels much more like risk than reward.Comment

Re: Best button to swing with?
I use X for probably 95% of my swings in a game, the others being square on hitters counts with a power hitter (but not every time), or circle in a situation where I want to move a runner ahead with less than two outs.
If I swing contact with 2 strikes, I simply don't strike out enough. That might not seem like a problem for someone who's only interested in winning games, but I'm interested keeping the stats relatively balanced too. And contact swinging constantly upsets that balance.
And although it CAN happen with a contact swing, there is nothing like cracking a 2-strike mistake pitch for a no-doubt HR.Comment

Re: Best button to swing with?
I know you're only supposed to use it sparingly, but has anyone had any sort of consistent success with the power swing? Two years in and I've hit homers with contact swing, and plenty on normal, yet when I do make contact with power, if it isn't a weak grounder or it's a single that I just as easily could have gotten with normal.
Has anyone been able to crack it with any sort of consistency?"A man can only be beaten in two ways: if he gives up, or if he dies."Comment

Re: Best button to swing with?
So is it safe to say circle when u get to two strikes then x all other times and stay away from squareComment

If the game only had power swings and normal swings, it would be much more realistic with regards to how many pitches get fouled off.Comment
