I need help hitting

Re: I need help hitting

A good camera where you can read the pitch is important for me and pitch speed slider.

The camera I use is Catcher Zoom 3. It provides a more realistic look at the plate and it is easier for me to take a lot of close pitches.

Re: I need help hitting

Where do I go to see the settings of that customers camera? I keep trying to search the forums for it but can't find it. I appreciate any help that you could provide!

I guess this got lost in the thread, sorry it took so long to reply

If you search for "GMo's camera" it will take you to a few of his threads in the results on page 2. He gives a good description of one of the ways to set up a custom camera.

Re: I need help hitting

This seems like a good place to post this.

I'm just wondering if anyone does something similar or see the humor in my problem.

I love swinging at junk curve balls. In the dirt? Swing! Has to bounce at home plate? Swing! So far out of the zone that the batter on deck has a better chance of hitting it than the current batter? Why the hell not, lets swing!

And here is the reason, and I think some of you may find this as funny as I do, I'm very good at recognizing curve balls. Problem is my brain works like this: "oh curve ball, hit it!" It is almost like instinct, I recognize curve and without thinking I hit that X button.

I think the only solution is to lock me in a small room without a controller and force me to watch curve ball after curve ball.

I've never played with the PCI on, so that's interesting to know. If it has an effect on the consistency with which the CPU puts the cursor in the pitch zone, that's more or less what I'm looking for. I'll have to test that out.

In my brief testing years ago, increasing the Timing slider made my PCI placement more consistent. It's cerainly not a scientific observation in the least. But it was noticable.

Though reducing pitch speed to me is always the better and least invasive alternative in correcting an errant PCI.

I personally am striking out at a decent and realistic clip. Raising Timing reduces K's (as could dropping pitch speed but it's less direct to me and always the best first choice). I'm seeing a ton of weak contact. Especially of the chopper and pop up variety.

Solid Hits directly impacts that so for me, IF I end up adjusting anything, I'll start here. For me and the CPU if I end up seeing it to be fit.

We'll see...

A nice slow juicy curveball to crush...sure I'll swing too LOL (try it with Power swing.. )

Good stuff.

So what I did was raise solid hits and fouls from 3 to 4 in A&S's Hybrid Quick Counts set and I'm already seeing hit types that correspond better to my eye-test ideas about how I connected on certain pitches in the zone.

My Ks are good (Darvish ate me for lunch two games ago), but my average is slowly climbing and I'm seeing more doubles, which is nice. I'm going to keep posting info as I have it relative to these issues.

Thanks for the feedback, as always!
