Re: How do you use directional hitting?

Im using directional, but I dont aim. Im just not that coordinated anymore. Im really stuggling to hit in this years game. Its like I cant see the ball, let alone the seams or how the pitcher is holding it. It is really bumming me out to the point I may go back to '14. Everything is early (and the ball seems right on top of me) or late (and it seems the ball is well past me). Especially Changes and CB's, it seems like I see them break down and wait that 1/2 sec longer and I always whiff and get early swing, but the pitch is right at the bottom of the zone.
Its getting frustrating, but I am trying to watch videos and tips..... Im just at a stand still right now.

Franchise SIM is dead. Find your favorite iterations and play it forever. Card games are whats "now" and games will cater in that direction and forget realism.

Just have fun and play :)

I leave it centered for all power swings. Usually thats what I do until there is two strikes, then use contact swing and directional as the pitch is coming in. I never pre-load it unless I am really struggling or a pitcher constantly throws to one side of the plate.

That is me exactly. Can you link some videos you've been watching to help you out in this regard?
