Over the weekend, I bumped back to default hitting/pitching HoF - and default pitch speed - and started to hit the ball really well. Lots of singles and doubles, and I was spraying the ball over the field. But, I'm not hitting very many homers, which is why I was asking about power button.

Through 15 games of franchise, I had hit 3 HR. I must have hit 5-7 that were crushed (good timing, PCI right at the ball) that were caught at the wall. And I would see CPU miss with PCI and have early or late timing and hit a HR.

Are you guys seeing a lack of power? I'm really enjoying HoF in other aspects.

I think it will be fine but the problem is when you get in higher difficulty. The PCI is smaller

So I actually bumped user power up two notches. power on default settings is definitely a bit low. I'll also make a slider video set that should be useful to a lot of people at some point.

One thing that would help my hitting would be if you could continue to move the PCI after pressing X. My coordination isn't always the best at moving the left stick before pressing x.

Yeah, I ended up bumping power up two notches as well. I hit a couple HRs in the first game after the adjustment - both with LH hitters. One was pulled on a middle-in hanging CB and on to L-CF on an up and away FB. PCI was on point, but I was early and late, respectively, on the HRs. Neither felt cheap - but that could be because I was so happy to finally hit a HR!

For anyone interested, I posted my directional hitting guide. you can take a look here:

I may try to make a new thread for directional hitting.

Yea I was experiencing the lack of HR's also. I can definitely co-sign moving the power slider up a few notches. I bumped the power slider up to 7 and am seeing a much more realistic rate of longballs now. I was on All-Star and I only move the PCI in hitters counts, so that may have had something to do with the drought. But I'm glad I can enjoy the game the way I'm used to playing now, up until I bumped the power slider up, I was thinking about the trade-in value for this game lol

Only human power or cpu as well?
