Zone all the way

Re: What hitting option are you using?

I find my problem with hitting (zone) is that I am pressing the swing button and the left analog stick (in the direction of the ball) at the same time.

The game mechanics really do not allow for this. You have to have your PCI in the correct location before you press X to swing. The result for me is good timing with poor contact quite often. I often have a ball up or down in the zone that I recognize and time correctly. However I am one millisecond off from pushing the analog stick in the corresponding direction.

The result is that my PCI is almost always just dead center in the zone. I really wish that zone would allow for a little larger window for moving the PCI, even DURING the swing.

eh, I just pick a zone for my PCI and stick it there and if the ball doesn't come anywhere close I just won't swing at it/or will swing at it and miss miserably.

I don't try to move the PCI around mid-pitch. That's asking for trouble imo.

IF that's the case then timing is the best thing to use. I like to be able to swing high or low, inside or outside. But my PCI pretty much stays centered because I'm hitting X and moving the analog stick almost at the same time. I may try pure analog.

Timing...always have been, always will be

Re: What hitting option are you using?

Wow...way more people saying timing than I would have thought. I have some of the same problems with zone. Too hard to move at the last second...or too hard to finesse. I end up pushing the stick all the way outside....but that's puts the pci waaay outside, and the ball is just on the corner of the plate.

I always thought timing would be like cheating...but sounds like I need to give it a try.

Timing works best for me

[shifty_b]

Used to always go with zone, but since last year I have been using timing. Gives pretty good results.

Re: What hitting option are you using?

zone analogue for me. i like being able to actually make my player stride and swing, without hitting a button. to me it feels more realistic and like im more involved.

Timing. I used to use zone in 2009. I switched to timing in 2011. Love it. Ratings based is my thing.

Re: What hitting option are you using?

Gave zone+analog a chance but it's just to much for me all toghther to get a grasp of. Zone is OK and like the different kinds of hits im getting when I di hit the ball. But to stay competitive with the computer, I think I am going to go with timing.

Zone plus analog because I'm a control freak.

Playing on HOF and getting stomped by the opposition pitchers.

Re: What hitting option are you using?

Always has and always will be Timing for me.

^This. The others don't feel all that natural to me. I've been playing baseball games since baseball stars (which is like the one ever) and that was basically timing so yea.....

Re: What hitting option are you using?

Zone hitting for me. I tried timing last year and it was great, but I just really feel like Zone is the answer. I am open to switching to timing but for now its all Zone.

Re: What hitting option are you using?

I use zone plus. I like to have it realistic and right now on my franchise Im in spring training and I'm 2 and 5. Most of the time when I hit the ball its always opposite field

Re: What hitting option are you using?

I'm very surprised about two things.

1) How few people use analog

AND

2) How many people use timing.
