    Nobodies asking you to take me seriously. My observation of directional may Be different than yours, but I just liked I think better last year.

      Timing Window is off in Directional Hitting. It feels like you are always slightly ahead or late on pitches, I do not feel like you are ever RIGHT on it.

      Now, I am not talking about what the feedback says, you will get good timing...but visually it doesn't seem to line up. As a result I have bumped Human Timing to 7 on sliders and it helps.

        This is good advice I am going to try this. I two also feel like the timing feels weird and will try this

          I feel like directional is much improved from last year. Last year I had to have human solid contact at 10 in order to make it feel at all legitimate (still got popouts and weak grounders). This year I have it at 7.

            I don't get into the scripted/not scripted stuff, but I do think that timing is an issue. I miss lots of pitches using directional that I swear I'm dead-on regarding the timing of my swing. It's baffling. I may consider a timing bump of +1-2 to see if that can give me more contact on balls I swear I've squared up.

                There's something to this. Juan Encarcion is my worst batter on the team. And he's got the best ratings. It could be coincidence but I do not believe so

                      It's also very possible that you can time a pitch perfectly and still hit the top half of the ball and drive it in the ground, popup, hit it hard but right at somebody, etc.

                      A player who successfully gets a hit 3 out of every 10 at bats is considered an all-star in this game.

                        How about a player who is successful 1 out of every 20 at bats even though he keeps working 3-0 counts and missing pitches that he is right on top of? Mendoza? No, me on directional hitting right now lol

                          Totally agree, round bat ,round ball and all that.

                          I chalk this up to people want realism, until they get it.

                            Lol. Well I personally don't have any complaints about directional hitting. In terms of critical situations (if we are talking about the things you can sim to in franchise) i want to say i was successful more often than not while doing a season sim just to look at how things progressed.

                            In my Mariners franchise I'm 6-5 and hitting around .225 as a team I think. I just chock it up to "thats baseball" and move on. I'm actually a firm believer that if I was extremely successful in this game right from the getgo i wouldn't appreciate it as much and would get bored. Sometimes it feels good to try and fail, it makes succeeding the next time feel that much sweeter.

                            Then again although I'm a Yankees fan I'veb grown up watching Mets games as well with my father and i think this is where i've grown that "we'll get 'em next time" mindset from lol!
