Re: Doubles, Triples?

Are you checking your feedback? If you're not getting "perfect" or "solid" feedback then you're probably not making good enough contact to drive the ball.

I don't use power.

Re: Doubles, Triples?

How do I check my feedback on a hit? I don't know if I am getting solid contact because I can only get feedback on missed pitches.

When the next hitter comes up, take the same steps before you see a pitch. It'll show you your last swing.

The only time you won't get to see feedback is when your hit results in the third out.

Re: Doubles, Triples?

I just hit about 100 balls in batting practice. The feedback is sometimes a bit confusing. For example sometimes I will hit a little nubber and it won't get out of the infield but when I look at the feedback the "contact" will say either solid or wheelhouse (which I assume is even better than solid). The ball will be outside of the PCI. Doesn't make a lot of sense sometimes.

who are you using in batting practice? If I was you I would use maybe a 2nd tier player instead of the stud on a team...the very good hitters in the game can still hit balls outside of their PCI...so with lesser skilled players in BP will make you really have to get the ball in the PCI...then if you can hit with say Derosa....imagine what you can do with Alfonso lol

Mark DeRosa is a bad example. DeRosa has great contact with a little pop. I think you meant Paul Bako.

Re: Doubles, Triples?

On All-Star with fielder speed at 0 I'm seeing plenty of extra base hits (both gap and down the line). Much better than last year.

Re: Doubles, Triples?

In RTTS I lead my team in doubles so I'm seeing my fair share of extra base hits, no triples yet though through 2 months of play. But that could be to the fact my speed is only at 33..
