    Zone hitting is messed up

    Someone else mentioned that all of their hits are going to the center part of the field when using zone hitting. I've noticed the same problem. No matter how early or late I swing, the ball will not go anywhere but the cebter 1/3 of the field.

    Another thing I noticed was that I did not have a single foul ball hit using zone batting. As soon as I switched to classic hitting, I was fouling some off, but they were all fouled straight back, nothing down the lines.

    I really wonder how useful zone hitting really is. It seems like the game decides where the ball will go at random, rather than basing it on pitch location, ball movement, and your swing. In WSB, if I hit a pitch that's high and outside, I can understand why it went to the first baseman. In ASB, it goes into right center or even left center, if I make contact at all.

    Something's not right here.

    With zone hitting, I get hits to all parts of the field. Not that many foul balls though!

        Yea I feel you, I was the one that mentioned that. I gotta keep playing zone tho b/c the classic hits to many homers and normal makes it to easy to get basehits.

        On zone the ball always goes to center field area but I'm just gonna have to accept that b/c homers and hits were harder to come by. And it balanced out my batting averages. On classic and normal, my numbers skyrocketed, including strikeouts.

            Yes hits are definitely harder to come by. That frustrated me so much in the beginning but now I'm striking out less. The only thing that frustrates me is the abundance of hits back to the pitcher.

                Do you hit balls down the line and grounders to the first and third baseman? I've hit a few to third but it seems impossible to hit to first. And you can barely ever hit to deep right or left field.

                        I already have HH.

                        I cheated on it with ASB, and cant go back to it. ASB just feels so much more like a baseball game. I'mm gonna pick up WSB and see if thats right for me.
