At what point do u use "power swing"?

[deucepoppi17]

For example, 70 rated power and above? Or is it more?

I don't ever use power swing.

I do not use the power swing either but I would only use it on a hitter's count. Left stick aiming and a contact swing is all that is really needed.

When I want to go to Souvenir City.

But seriously, only when I am in a hitters count. And even then, I do not use it all that often.

power swing throws my timing out of whack for whatever reason. If I swing and miss with a power swing, then I'm off balance the rest of the AB.

I never use it for this exact reason.

I used it once and hit a HR with Ortiz... They had pitched him inside early in the count all game, 2 guys on, and so I aimed low and in, used power swing, and jacked one. I have never used it othr than that.

I use power swing on 2-0 or 3-0 or all the time with guys that swing for the fences like Sheffield and Thome

I try and not ever use it.

I only use the power swing in batting practice because it increases my power ratings more.

I use it from time to time, it can really pay off but man can you miss some good pitches and waste a double with contact swing by trying the power swing. The only perk i've found though is I have hit some garbage pitches out with the power swing by luck.

I use power swing with middle of the lineup guys a lot and when it's 2-0/3-0/3-1 with others. Not all the time, though.

I'll use it with 2 strikes if I have a guy like Carlos Pena up. If he's 0-2 on the day then we'll see a nice contact swing AB.

I love the choice for two because "power" swings are part of the game.

Re: At what point do u use "power swing"?

I very rarely use it, but sometimes if I have a big lead late in the game (which doesn't happen often), I'll try it with some of my power guys just to see if I can launch one. Most of the time I just pop it up or something, but once in a while I'll get "lift-off".

I must be in the extreme minority b/c I use it exclusively

Re: At what point do u use "power swing"?

I have never hit a homerun in any version of the show using the power swing. And yes, I am that bad.

Magoo, you ever check out the Hudson Valley Bears hockey team?
