Dude you put it straight forward with no gimmicks. You have my respect, basic common sense. That's about it. I hope some of these ppl need a coach, u know the new age gonna need it. Get what u can off of them.
I turned my PCI off around MLB 21-22 and I love it. I kept getting distracted by my PCI and focusing too much on moving it to the perfect spot which threw my timing way off. Now there’s nothing to look at except the pitch coming in and it’s really helped me time everything better
@@Gts718I use timing. I'm so used to it by now. Even from other MLB games and just baseball games in general....just had to figure out the timing....it's definitely doable I'm beating people in battle Royale.
Don't know why or how the YT algorithm recommended you but you're honest and even polite about these tips. Appreciate them from a mostly offline player.
I just want to thank you all I did was change my settings and watch a bit of the start and I’m already hitting better than I was, still yet to finish the video I’ll let u know but thank you this helps a lot
Brooo, thats exactly what Im practicing and I do believe 100% that hitting that way is more accurate that tracking the ball. It takes a lot of time and reps as you say in the vidoo pero IS TOTALLY WORTHS IT broo. Thanks for the tips btw.
I’m a lower ranked player but I 100 percent use pci for like 3/4s of the game and when the pitcher gets more tired I throw on timing because the absolute second that a pitcher leaves something hanging or makes a mistake I can punish it easier on timing hitting. It’s not ideal but when you know a fastballs coming and it’s hard to hit a 103 on pci I go to timing and purely focus on the ball and just hit it. Sometimes it gets me outta slums gets me a runner on base or a lucky homer
Really good in-depth tutorial. The problem for me is it's complete garbage that players get penalized because they can't use Zone/PCI hitting. Everybody online says is "so easy". I've been playing The Show for 3 years now and still can not get the timing down. I worry too much about the PCI, my swing is too late. I concentrate on the timing, and the PCI is nowhere near the ball. I can get away with it on Veteran, but All-Star and higher just is NOT going to happen. I guess I'll never be higher than a 550-600.
You really gotta lock in on the pitcher's release point, then just trust your thumb is gonna get there. If you focus too much on your pci it's gonna throw you off, honestly it's all just practice though
I am just getting back into the game after few years. Bro, first time using your tips, after practicing, in the challenge of the week, best score ever 17k - I crushed it putting up just under 41k! Thank you, always make your worst better each day.. you will improve!!
how do you not jerk the PCI ?? i see where the ball is going but i end up reacting so hard and pushing the PCI wayyy more than it needs to be pushed, and my pci just goes way too far
@@doysher2476 As long as you keep the eye on the pitch release point, you'll be able to move the PCI smoothly. You just need to practice cause it takes a tons of time to get used to it.
@@thegreedy211 I’m aware brother I was trying to help my guy just based on his context. When I messed with my deadzone and got kontrolfreeks I became an above .500 player
It may be my internet connection but some games are sooo choppy and some games I have a hard time turning on inside fastball pitches... anyways thanks for the tips!
I know you're right about being early and pulling for power. But ive been yanking those outside low fastvalls/sliders/slurves/cutters oppo over the fence a lot lately. Same with the hated high fastball away
Ok so this is prob never gonna be seen by you but I prefer to keep my PCI anchored at the top is that bad and is it bad to not move it at all when waiting for the pitch
Do you think the less players that play throughout the year the harder it is to make ws or be a higher rank. Because at the beginning of the year I made 894 and was 1 srike away from ws 😢. After that I went on a losing streak then stoped playing for a little. I came back for this season and have been floating around 800 for the season.
a lot of hitting is just learning your opponent's patterns, i find hitting to be so easy this year cause everyone i played 700 to 1100 in ranked only throw down in the zone and it gets easily predictable, facing John Donaldson every game youre just gonna get spammed middle inside fastballs, sliders and forkballs, once u get timing down it gets easy to know whats coming
you think you could do a video where you walk us through a full ranked seasons game? Basically just explain what you do and why as you play. appreciate the content man. awesome video as always
This is my first season playing DD after only playing online ranked with normal teams my highest rating is 771 but I can't seem to break past. Is this a good rating or low ,
Need to keep doing it but I’ve been anchoring just under where the arm slot is. Reminds me to move pci with the pitch. Just not consistently doing it right now.
One thing about waiting for mistakes this year is alot a players aren't making mistakes perfects all game with every pitcher. Ima get some hate for this but people using zens is bigger now in the show more then ever with that being said you can't wait for mistakes because they don't make them. 128 pitches deep throwing perfects on the line or just off the plate but never down the middle
While true you can't assume everyone is cheating. 98% of the time they're just very good players. And if they're cheating you have to be fine with being the bigger person. Hopefully SDS can find a fix although I doubt it.
Interesting, no matter what I did, the elite series 2 had "choppy" (for lack of better term) joystick inputs especially when hitting. Had to get a PowerA.
Could u give me advice on Hitting down the middle? I also essentially guesstimate/flick to the ball, but when I try to hit down the middle I always end up dragging my pci to far down
I'm trying these settings but its still frustrating in RTTS mode. I still have yet to hit a homerun in that mode, highest I've ever done was a double but I think that was just luck as I'm still trying to learn everything.
I typically play When it comes out to July my team was already 99 babsically so after they took the cards away from season 1 I was mad that made me less interested to play
@@CJ12KYT got it thanks. Also am I focusing on putting the bat on the ball or the dot on the bat I’m piecing up to get better contact. The dot so small.
Gonna straight up study this . I’m fuckin struggling TOUGH over here man. I’m good at pitching. AWFUL at hitting. Fucking HORRIFIC. Started playing consistently like 4 months ago . Mainly play DD. Playing on the original Xbox One on old ass Olevia flat screen TV. Not sure if it’s my setup or what but for the motherfuckin life of me I cannot track pitches . My eyeballs are fuckin broken or some shit. I try my hardest to focus on the pitcher and the ball coming out of their hand and to keep my eye on it and I’m always off. My eyes literally end up super red, watery and fucked it after playing because I’m concentrating so hard and trying not to blink. Pitches look like they’re gonna be somewhere and then end up somewhere different . Most commonly they look like they gonna be like low to mid strike zone but last second drop fuckin 4 feet down and so I fuckin swing at air. I can usually pick up the general area where I think the pitch is gonna be but it’s like last millisecond so I end up slamming my PCI in that general direction and it’s extremely inaccurate and inconsistent . I’ve tried fuckin everything I swear to god. Like 15 different hitting views, different PCIs , tracking the pitch with my PCI vs just doing what you do and trying just to put it where the pitch is gonna end up, etc etc etc . Nothing is working and it’s making me lose my fuckin mind. I wanna get better so bad but I’m just not and it’s infuriating . I’ve never in my life struggled to get good at a game more than this one. In my opinion they made this fuckin game WAAAAAAAY too hard for beginners who just wanna build a DD team and hit bombs offline. Brutal. But my journey continues . Great video . Like I said I’m gonna have to study this and try all your tips. Wish me luck. Sure doesn’t feel like I’m ever gonna get better but hope I do🤷🏻♂️ Edit: I would like to here your advice on playing against the CPU. I play mainly offline and struggle either way but I notice you were talking about online olay a lot so would love to here your opinion on CPU pitchers and their tendencies, etc.

Why isn't anyone talking about the lag and hitting? I have to restart my Xbox multiple times during a session just to keep the ping correct? When I swing the bat. Literally I could load into the same game mode and the next game. I won't be able to swing the bat with the same timing. The only way to get this to work is to reset the Xbox. It's extremely frustrating cuz I don't even think about going online because you cannot have a delay in your swing when you're trying to hit 100 mi per hour. Fastball which we know everybody has that pitcher. I have great internet so you can't use that as an excuse. It doesn't make any sense and it literally happens. Every time I play the game I have to restart the Xbox
@@conditdr my guess would be what you play on, sounds like your on a large tv or older monitor. If you are on either then making sure you’re in game mode would help but not completely solve your issues
Dude you put it straight forward with no gimmicks. You have my respect, basic common sense. That's about it. I hope some of these ppl need a coach, u know the new age gonna need it. Get what u can off of them.
@@mommadukez7966 so? Mfs still wanna improve at said video game. A coach is someone who helps someone get better

So you use timing hitting ?
@@Gts718 no I use zone, but just with no pci visible on the screen. I still have to move the pci and everything but I just don’t see it on the screen
Dang i was doing this not too long ago. I may need to give it another shot

This may sound weird but making the pci invisible might help you get back on track

@@vbmokthat’s three if u do none on the pci and reverb u can hit some because u feel like u can hit anything
Just gotta get better ig this is my first mlb the show game and I got to 700 rating

"Kinda slumping online" 53-3. Haha. When exactly were you slumping online? Or is that not your real record?
My last 7 I’m 4-3 I’d call that slumping
Wait so u were undefeated? Dang dude ur good
I try my best

Man u make some great vids. Im new this year but so far digging this game i am bad at online but its to be expected

I always appreciate the tips. This one slaps.

It’s something I’ve thought about but I haven’t been able to play much ranked and it depends on the quality of the game.
This is my first season playing DD after only playing online ranked with normal teams my highest rating is 771 but I can't seem to break past. Is this a good rating or low ,
It’s fine just sounds like you’re not comfortable on hall of fame
ur vids are super helpful man ❤
excellent video man keep it up

Just a quick question, it looks like you are playing on xbox. Which you prefer xbox or ps5?
Xbox but it’s consensus that you pitch better on ps5
I just got a elite series 2 controller and I’m running it hard wire connected to Xbox and man oh man it changed everything for me!
Interesting, no matter what I did, the elite series 2 had "choppy" (for lack of better term) joystick inputs especially when hitting. Had to get a PowerA.
@@jacoblong4454 like the response time sucked on it for u?
What control do u run and do u use hard wire?
Yea I gotta learn to hit cause I wanna play ppl online this game
Could u give me advice on Hitting down the middle? I also essentially guesstimate/flick to the ball, but when I try to hit down the middle I always end up dragging my pci to far down
Go into custom practice and get comfortable with down the middle
Gracias man
@Cjuck12 do you use a kontrol freek on left analog?
No
So what about grip on hit stick. Also do you move it or actually just flick.
Doesn’t really matter
How do you use your cap again? DH to catcher in the pregame?
Yeah but you can’t do it anymore unless you’ve had it already
I'm trying these settings but its still frustrating in RTTS mode. I still have yet to hit a homerun in that mode, highest I've ever done was a double but I think that was just luck as I'm still trying to learn everything.
Cotw could help you, it sounds like you need to start on low difficulties
Bringing up that Eddy Cabrera gave me ptsd
Are there any download able rosters I can download to practice with my diamond dynasty team can I download your roster?
You’d be better off to make your own
@@CJ12KYTyea bro go to roster control and put the players you have on your DD roster and save
how can you use your diamond dynasty team in custom practice?
You have to make a roster
How far do you sit from your monitor is your face in the strike zone so to speak?
Nah it’s just a normal amount, whatever is comfortable if you hit better looking like a csgo pro then do it

How do I stop slamming my pci and dropping it tho?
Could be a lot of things, it’s a hard habit to break
Any tips for applying pressure on the analog when using the pci
I don’t do anything
@@CJ12KYT so with the bat you actually swinging as if it is one to make contact. The pci so skinny but that’s the challenge huh
It’s not different than any other pci you put the middle on the ball
