Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K12 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching
It seems like from my experience on 2k13 that contact affects pretty much if you make make contact or not that's it, it has very little to do with actually getting a hit. Power on the other hand seems to affect getting hits more because from what I can tell the power sliders is really more of a sweet spot slider, the higher the power slider the more often you hit the ball on the barrel of the bat no matter where the pitch is as long as you make contact. People thinks this makes you hit more HR but in reality the reason you hit so many HR on higher power is because you're hitting the ball on the barrel so often. For example if Chris Davis hits a HR 1 out of 5 times he hits the ball with the barrel then with power at 70+ he hits the ball on the barrel on nearly every successful swing which means even though it may be the same ratio of solid hit to HR, you get so many more solid hits with power higher, it's not what people think where they just assume ground balls are gonna be hit harder and stuff like that. With power around 50 Chris Davis may only hit 1 to 3 on the barrel in a game and most of the time the solid hits just result in base hits and not a HR every time and I can actually go games without hitting a HR with Davis but still getting on base with him.
