Anyone having trouble with power swings?

[MakeItRain1129]

Every time I try to power swing, in My Player & Franchise, I end up popping up to the catcher or an infielder. This happening to anyone else? And the left stick is supposed to aim where in the field you want to hit the ball right? (XBOX360). I try to pull the ball or push it and end up popping up to first or third. HELP!

The left stick is directional left-right for hitting opposite field or pulling, however up/down is to influence a pop fly or ground ball.

This makes it so you can sacrifice fly with a man on third. Get a fastball down the middle, hold the left stick up and power swing with the right, and you should get a deep hit pop fly.

From my experience, a power swing with a batter of 80+ power, with no use of the left stick at all gets my best power swing results. I find if I time it just right I'm straight away center, but my timing isn't perfect so I get pulls and opposite field all the time anyway lol

I never touch the left stick. It's more timing and location.
