Need help with Hit Stick 2.0

[lenyc]

For those of you that are having success with Hit Stick 2.0, could you please give me information on how to use it properly. I am starting to get hits but i can't even hit home runs on Pro. Also how do you perform directional hitting , like pulling or hitting the opposite way. That manual is very thin, so I am not sure if what I am doing is correct. Thanks in advance.

I can't hit anything at all. I'm either too early or too late. I need some kind of video tutorial or something. I wish this game had a batting practice mode so I could work on my timing.

Use the homerun derby.

I feel your pain. I like the new hit-stick, but here's the problem I have with it:

I can go through an entire 9 inning game and strikeout MAYBE once or twice. I can make contact at will. I've even moved the slider contact to 0 on Legend and still can make contact at will. To add to this though, I can't hit a HR at all! Not even one in over 15 or so 9 inning games to this point. Singles here and there and an occassional double, but nothing even remotely close to looking like a HR.

I think more and more it becomes inevitable that User Power slider needs to get bumped. Maybe the contact slider should get some love also.

Well guys can you tell me how you are using it. For instance when I pull back most times it says im too early. Once I pull back I don't hold it, I feel like if i hold the RS it I wont recover to hit the ball. Once i let go I try to aim in the direction of the ball. I find its very hard to tell your self to not swing with the swing stick. I kind of have to set rules for myself to hit balls that are pitch to certain areas. I do think it makes hitting more realestic in terms of the mental aspect.

Re: Need help with Hit Stick 2.0

seems like the hitting is night and day to me depending on the game mode

when i play the cpu using hit stick 2.0 everything i hit is a soft grounder or a routine pop-up, i can barely get any hits on pro or all-star

but when i play online or against someone else offline i can hit every different kind of hit possible even homers

ive tried experimenting against the cpu by changing my batting style from swing stick 2.0 to just swing stick where you can perform contact swings and it seemed to help somewhat, if you are having trouble like me maybe you could try the same and see if it helps
