    Online Slump Busting?

    One of my friends had recently gotten into the bad habit of moving my PCI to the bottom of the strike zone on every swing. He can be sitting fastball up, get fastball up, but still move his PCI straight down. It's gotten to the point where it's not even fun for me to play against him anymore because he gets between 0-4 hits per game, and hits for no power at all.

    This led me to wonder what everyone else does when they fall into an online slump. Is there a go-to slump busting strategy that I don't know about?

    Usually I just go hit BP off Matt Harvey on legend difficulty for a little while. That hasn't seemed to work for my friend though.

    Always the option of using directional. Got to do better than 0-4 hits, right?

      I go do the challenge of the week a few times until I get back into my grove.

        Well placed 95+ high inside fastballs are hard to hit even if you are sitting on them and don't move your PCI. I have way more trouble with them than any other pitch. A lot of the time it's just who you're playing against, it sounds like you just have more skill at the game than your friend, I've played games like this from both sides, whenever I play someone with a rating of 1800+ I have a really hard time hitting and they just seem to crush everything yet somehow the AI always seems to find a way to let you back into the game.

          That is the reason I cannot understand how directional hitting is an option in online play.
