Homeruns with Contact Swing

[crbuke]

I have hit a couple with contact swing on timing hitting.

I think more than anything it just comes down to having the timing down and getting a fastball in the wheelhouse to crush out.

Most of my HR's come from X though

I've hit 3 hr's with the CS and 10 with PS. The 3 I hit with contact were with Tex (2) and ARod. All 3 were on hitters counts so I was fine with them.

The only trouble I'm having is making solid contact consistently. It seems I only get 3 or 4 a game. I've yet to score more than 4 runs in about 40 games.

In last year's iteration of the Show, I hit tons of homeruns using the contact swing. This year, through some 15 or so games, I have 1. Unfortunately, power swing isn't working too well for me either as most of the time I end up swinging over the ball.

There was no contact swing in last year's (and the year before, and so on) version of the show - just normal and power. The "middle" swing this year was still the X button swing in past years.

You're right.

I should have said I hit tons of HR using the X button last year.

My RTTS guy is nearly maxed out yet he has a low batting average. So I decided to go with the X button and boy...the square button doesn't even exist to me. I used to get homers, dribblers to first base or missed swings. Now I actually get line drive outs and doubles to the gap with the X button.

I hit a home run with contact swing ... with Tim Hudson. That seemed a bit strange to me.

prolly hit 20 homeruns in this game. 19 with contact, only 1 with power swing. I play with the timing hitting and apparently my timing is good lol
