Just Learned a New Swing Timing Strategy

[vinny_77]

TLDR:
Start your swing immediately after your hitter's lead foot hits the ground on his stride.
I've been playing MLB the Show since 06 on the Playstation 2. Today, I was blown away to discover a new way to time my swings while hitting. Credit to youtuber Mister Graavy as I discovered the tip while watching this video. https://youtu.be/bukeV53_Zic
I use ZONE hitting and have always struggled timing my swing. Throughout the years, I've been up and down between Veteran, All Star, and occasionally Hall of Fame Difficulty. Today, using this tip, I was able to increase my Dynamic difficulty to Legend with default sliders. Night and day difference. I'm pulling fastballs and squaring up off speed pitches better than ever before. I'm now using Strike Zone 2 hitting view to better see my player's stride. Make sure you're still watching the ball and just "notice" the stride for timing.
I hope this helps somebody out there enjoy the game a bit more...Have fun!

Re: Just Learned a New Swing Timing Strategy

I tried this but couldn't get the hang of it. I'm old guy with bad eyesight and poor reflexes-not good combo for playing video games. LOL I think may go into practice later tonight after son gets off the xbox and see if can figure it out.
