Y’all must be really bad cus I do this and I hit any breaking ball or fast ball, unless it’s in a really good spot I won’t swing. I knew this b4 watching this vid.
@@james_hard_e4785me personally i place my pci on the pitchers side they throw from and where the release is and track it from there but everyone has different ways just which one works best for you
I actually have more success hitting when I let the ball come to me. Not being afraid to let the ball get deep and react to the pitch. And if I’m having trouble picking up sequences, or don’t really know what I’m looking for…. I sit middle fastball and react to any pitch near the middle early in counts. Best advice anyone ever gave me in mlb the show, is see the ball and hit it. Seems obvious, but the more reps you get over the years, you will get better and better it’s inevitable.
If the ball comes out the pitchers hand and it’s moves up then it’s a breaking ball but if the ball goes start at you then it’s a fastball or sinker n what not. At that point you just gotta take what that person likes to do and what that pitcher can throw.
Another tip that helped me a lot is not swinging until the batter plants his front foot. My timing goes from pitchers release to the batter’s plant. That’s all the time you really have but once you get that rhythm down, now all you have to do is be selective.
@@mogunz9643and of course it's not a hundred percent because this crap is hard. But you will succeed more the more you practice. The real grind is mental as being able to fail and still keep a positive attitude believing that you will produce sometime in the game
Ive noticed that after a while of doing whats mentioned in this video, i started being able to predict the general area that the ball was gonna land on based solely on when the hand releases the ball, ex: early release from the hand means high or middle and complete follow trough usually end up in a lower to almost on the ground pitch etc.
It’s simple, work the count to get ahead and when it comes to timing “stay back” in other words give the ball time to reach the plate. Better late than early.
@@manupr354that Bautista card throws gas but I can hit his gas much easier than Randy because Randy also has the 85 mph slurve while Bautista slowest pitch is like 93
Its insane how simple yet effective this advice is😂 like it sounds very obvious but no really if you just sit at the right angle to catch this everytime you have those games where u mercy ppl😂
I’ve been playing Diamond dynasty since the show 15 and never been a threat. There will be a span of 2 days at most when I’m hitting well. But most of the time it’s just a dice roll. My record is 35-17 which doesn’t look too bad at first, but my batting avg is only .244 and most of those wins were when I first got the game and was playing other bad players in the lower divisions. There isn’t a specific pitch that I do well against. I have the same chance of hitting a HR on the corner of the zone than I do in the middle 😂
Focus on cutting the zone into smaller parts. So instead of trying to cover the entire zone, work on the inside part. Dominate inner half, and if you can do that, then expand your zone
This made such a huge difference in my game right off the bat. I’m on hall of fame and my pci placement improved and just had to work on timing. Just hit 3 homers in a row following this method
You should also change your hitting to just buttons only. What is the point of purposely making the game harder by having the more complex batting controls
This helps my mind a lot. I’m just casually playing, picked it up for free from PSN last week. I’m Finding it hard to play past All-Star…. But I’m kicked back in the living room, sat 7-8 feet away from a wall mounted 65” Roku Sanyo tv. With my stick drift ps5 controller lol I’m like ball spin? How Tf you seein spin LOLOL but I’m not playing on a monitor or gaming screen. I’ll settle for this lvl of difficulty. Thanks!
people shitting on this most important tip. i GUARANTEE you (because i catch myself doing it) that you have no idea how ADHD your eyes really are pre-pitch thinking you’re “looking” at release point and break etc. nah we all get in that rut where we like “wtf!? i 😅can’t stop swinging at shit pitches...” this tip right here!! literally fucking inhale and exhale and just focus on that highlighted circle he edited in there around the hand. it will literally lock you in to any pitch they got in their arsenal AND you can get SO good at knowing what’s a ball or strike regardless zoom or strike zone camera view. TRUSSSS GREAT CONTENT KING
This is spot on. And the point of all of the practice is that you are still going to fail alot. Especially online and on hof or legend. But because of the practice you'll succeed alot more the more you commit. Just like everything else in life 😂
I’ve seen this type of comment a lot, imma post an updated short on it. But to prevent slamming there’s 2 things you can do. Pci Anchor to the area opposite to where you slam, so let’s say you slam middle down, you anchor middle up. It’s a short term solution but can help. 2nd thing is to stretch your hands out. It sounds weird but people slam their pci because their hand is too tense so they flick a lot instead of moving to the ball. In the end, we want to think of the pci as a reticle not a sling shot. The smoother the pci is, the more consistent hitter you’ll be. Hope this helped you out.
I don’t mess with stick sensitivity, when you play on different difficulties the pci moves a lot faster on higher difficulty with more range. So you can’t get a good feel for what’s the best custom sensitivity
I tried this but I keep swinging too early. I would usually swing right when the ball is almost at the dirt, right where the turf and homeplate dirt meet to be exact. It works, sometimes lol
just keep practiving. another tip for hitters when learning to hit. is to take pitches and follow it with the pci gets u more comfortable following pitches, then u can look for like up in zone or slider. sitting on a pitch
I like following the pitchers glove to the hand going behind the back, then continuing to follow the motion of the arm. This usually helps to follow the ball and square it up if it’s across the plate, as well as recognizing early if it’s off the plate. If I get a 2-0, or 2-1 count I aim the pci at the pitchers head and look for something up in the zone. I hardly ever strike out and win 100 games per season at a hall of fame level.
Or just use quadrant guessing to eliminate half the strikezone. Still dont know why Im THE ONLY ONE who has done this since the came up with quad guessing. Yall like doing things the hard way even though your soft gen zers who DONT like things hard.
I don’t even know how I hit lol I can’t look at pitcher hand or hitter leg kick lol I just wait and hit what ever comes but I can recognize the pitch very well my average is 389
Bro ive never plaayed any type of mlb game till about a week ago ive been playing and i fuckinf absolutely suck at hitting. Bro i cant hit no fucking ball. Im always missing if they throw high i bat too low if they throw low i bat to high like fuck i never know where their throwing. I only play online too.
Ok, so pick up the pitch right out of the hand….. then what? What does that even mean lol. All of the tips are pick it up out of the hand but no directions after….
Jeez bro. Easy to be in practice mode taking only middle pitches and then talk about ball tracking. Not hating but atleast have other pitches in different areas of the plate while telling us how to play better
its crazy how this applies to real life too. i will always have a tough time seeing/recognizing the spin 😂
Love how each pitch goes right down the middle 👍
Gotta make their video look good somehow 😂
Fr
Just to let you know not trying to correct you but he’s showing tips on how to have good timing now the pci ya we just need luck
On goddddddd😂😂I mean appreciate the tip but iykyk
Y’all must be really bad cus I do this and I hit any breaking ball or fast ball, unless it’s in a really good spot I won’t swing. I knew this b4 watching this vid.
He does this in rookie with them throwing meatballs … a lot harder when its p5 randy on hof or higher pumping 158 on the corners
What do you look at to pick up the release ?
It still applies
@james_hard_e4785 look above their shoulder on the side they pitch from
@@james_hard_e4785me personally i place my pci on the pitchers side they throw from and where the release is and track it from there but everyone has different ways just which one works best for you
U play baseball?
It’s so much easier to recognize spin and break in real life compared to the game for me
I played pro ball for 3 years...yes, it's so much easier in real life. I just can't see it in a video game very well at all.

It kinda depends, that’s valid, until you play on Legend with Max Fastball and Offspeed Sliders. Then you have no time to wait
This really only works on fastballs. If you swing right as they release on curveballs you’ll be way too early
Yeah I’m gonna have the time to figure the pitch out while it’s flying 103 mph at me
Welcome to how baseball works
@@rafaelestrada9483it’s a game though it’s stupidly fucking techincal
@@anthonyunrau551idk how else they’d do it that’s kind of just a part of the sport

this will definitely make you a better hitter in the game and what i love about the sport is even then you’ll get pitches that make you look silly 😅😂
Dude said "pick up the spin" ok bro I want u to make a video and tell us what it is based on the spin
Just pay attention when your pitching next time. The rotations are all the same no matter who throws it for the most part.
@@mogunz9643and of course it's not a hundred percent because this crap is hard. But you will succeed more the more you practice. The real grind is mental as being able to fail and still keep a positive attitude believing that you will produce sometime in the game

Also right down the middle every time

that's bc its like muscle memory. once you see enough pitches from the same person enough times there's no way they can confidently pitch to you

Number 1 tip. Turn it to rookie mode
😂😂😂😂 💯💪🏾🤷🏾♂️
It’s simple, work the count to get ahead and when it comes to timing “stay back” in other words give the ball time to reach the plate. Better late than early.
Great tip to use until Felix Bautista comes on the mound
pitchers that have a small repertoire of 3 pitches are very easy to hit imo

Helps when you’re on Rookie difficulty too 🤣

It doesn’t matter because even if you do this you will still fly out to the warning track or ground into double plays every time.

Bro this has made me so good within only 30 minutes of doing this holy crap, thanks dude😂🤘🏾
Okay so what do I do? Swing when the ball is released? Or when it’s midway?

Boom perfect perfect ✊
This helped so much!!!! No joke I hit nukes by using this method, thx so much
How did you read the pitches so fast jesus im like 80 seconds behind i cant never tell a fastball from a cutter
4 seam cutters are tough to read. But my rule of thumb is to start inside and if its fast, turn on it. Away then sit back
Editing
In the first second of the video, I thought you were going to talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Just started playing two days ago and now knocking them so far out of the park they got send out a search party to find the ball 😂
Meanwhile, grass is green
This is spot on. And the point of all of the practice is that you are still going to fail alot. Especially online and on hof or legend. But because of the practice you'll succeed alot more the more you commit. Just like everything else in life 😂
I just go off pure reaction cause i have pretty fast thumbs
He's 100% right about picking up the release point even if the video shows nothing but meatballs
Just sit on the high or low cheese and adjust to the off speed and punish their mistakes.
All these tips and tricks, comin back to RUclips. And I still slam my pci every pitch

@@layeeeeeTV I’ll def give that a try I also heard those analog stick pieces you can put on to make it higher up help with the sensitivity of pci
I don’t mess with stick sensitivity, when you play on different difficulties the pci moves a lot faster on higher difficulty with more range. So you can’t get a good feel for what’s the best custom sensitivity
@@layeeeeeTV gotcha, anyway I just hit a nuke with Eddie Matthews playing with a less tight grip like u said so appreciate it 😂

Are you a baseball player irl?
If u wanna fix ur timing, watch the leg kick. That’ll fix ur timing almost instantly
Pci settings / transparency and hitting view?
I like following the pitchers glove to the hand going behind the back, then continuing to follow the motion of the arm. This usually helps to follow the ball and square it up if it’s across the plate, as well as recognizing early if it’s off the plate.
If I get a 2-0, or 2-1 count I aim the pci at the pitchers head and look for something up in the zone. I hardly ever strike out and win 100 games per season at a hall of fame level.
What I do to find the arm angle and release is tracking the glove side and we’re that’s at that we’re they release it.
im having such a hard time seeing spin and i literally play on a 4k monitor lol
Issue is i can't read where it's going it's less about the type of pitch
I literally am playing the show right now, watched this video and just hit a home run
As I hit a Homerun first, try using this
I thought that was a given its just like real baseball
Thos is why i played on the easiest i can go and started with timing. With timing your gonna get acclimated to watching the pitcher
Yoo what’s that pci setting?
Does that mean tap while balls in his hand or recognize it ??????
Same in real life wanna see it out the hand
I didn’t know this I am going to try it so now I know why players online are always hitting it
This is a joke. There are multiple pitchers on the game that have absolutely fucked up releases and wind ups that make 0 sense and nobody could read.
Did mlb the show get harder or I just haven’t played since ‘17 show and I’m ass now?
nice catch
Hey here is my number one tip, hit the ball perfect perfect. Easy.
He’s kind of throwing the ball right down the middle so how could you not miss 🤨🤨
He’s kind of just giving people a tip, he’s not kind of bragging that he hit a HR
How do I hit the pitches that go out of the box
Pci slam tbh, meaning you flick the left Stick to where the ball is at.
I am terrible at picking up the spin no wonder I’m late on fastballs all the time I’m starting swinging way too late
Look at the pitchers cap
If u played in real life you would know to stare at the top of the pitchers hat
Literally hit two bombs after this lmao
jokes on you i play on rookie and only get fastballs
I'm sure this works when they throwing shit down the middle.....what about reality??????
Or just use quadrant guessing to eliminate half the strikezone. Still dont know why Im THE ONLY ONE who has done this since the came up with quad guessing. Yall like doing things the hard way even though your soft gen zers who DONT like things hard.
You can not tell what that pitch is right there on this game lol
yeah i can pick up the spin when its 102 thanks
I never do that n still positive in wins
I don’t even know how I hit lol I can’t look at pitcher hand or hitter leg kick lol I just wait and hit what ever comes but I can recognize the pitch very well my average is 389
Thanks bro
Dude I’m old my hand to eye is terrible. There has to be some hack to use this pci thing easier
Is this really a tip. The problem is that the pitches are not down the middle and its usually not a fast ball.
Someone tell T Martin
hate it! I can't hit the dam fastball! ima offspeed crusher tho
Ok
joseee josee jose jose jose jose
Bro ive never plaayed any type of mlb game till about a week ago ive been playing and i fuckinf absolutely suck at hitting. Bro i cant hit no fucking ball.

How did you get the line things
On the pitches?
I still suck tho
