I'm just chirping keep doing your thing maybe one day we can face off in a game just to see where I'm at ... All love my guy thanks for the tips and being a good sport lol cheers
I spend a lot of time in the batting cage because I like to see all kinds of pitches. Been playing for 26 years now. My approach to hitting in baseball is if its a strike swing. Unless I know a pitchers tendencies, I usually swing at strikes. Regardless of what pitch it is. It has worked well for me. So sadly, it doesn’t transition well to this game as I believe that this game is really a poor simulation of real baseball.
After playing against the AI for so long to get my skills up and trying to progress thru the difficulties I quickly developed a pull down habit as the AI has so many pitchers who only pitch low or pitch low a lot, Ive switched to more claw type grip because tbh even though we have the most xp with our thumb only, it will never have as much control going up as down just cause thats the way the joint bends the stick.. instead I use my pointer to push the stick down for lows and my thumb to push it up while making an Okay shape on the stick control freaks of course and while I may not have the muscle memory fr years of stick use with thumb only.. I also dont have all the bad habits from other games. I think developing a two way control technique is huge towards becoming a perfect hitter.. you may not be as good at it now.. but like any technique once you master it, it becomes the thing that sets you apart from those not using it. Plate patience has been a problem of mine as im usually tryin to squeeze in a few ABs a lot and am not practicing in the right situation for hitting. Thanks for these helpful tips
@@masonmogg2569 me? i’m mot that good lol ask tulo he’s the goat lol just watch his vids bro. i played last night and lost my last like 5 in a row, all i can say is just be patient and wait for your pitches. spit on the garbage just don’t give up or get frustrated and come outside of your game plan sit on fastballs mainly, and minimal pci movements is key
Ur vids on point. I always think like it’s home run derby. And it’s funny that you use strike zone and start with low pci placement and I start high inside pci placement and use strike zone 2. You dope bro. And the point about striking out but gaining good habits is super pro tips.
For those struggling too hit ... play VS CPU on like veteran and don’t swing until the pitcher throw 2 strikes sometimes they’ll throw 2 balls to see if you’ll bite and strike you out easy it’ll help take off that urge to swing at everything lol
Then you’re gonna hate me if we ever match up lol. It’s the only pitch I feel comfortable with that won’t be crushed for a homer. That and the outside change up.
When I put the pci to zero , so that I can’t see it at all. , I can focus on the ball more My pci is invisible but apparently I have a great sense of where it is, because I’m making contact with virtually every pitch
I’ve improved so much on pitches that attempt to jam me on either side of the plate the problem now is I’m so locked in on down and in up and in that I’m never prepared for down and away or up and away
Thanks a lot for the tips! It definitely helps to be able to have actual plan before getting to the plate. Now I just have to execute the plan. Easier said than done, but I’m going to try it lol
this was the most helpful vid I've seen.. really helps when your focusing on seeing pitches down the middle instead of trying to aim your pci and guessing pitches
I just got the game on Xbox last week and haven’t played any baseball game since shit I dunno been a whole but the more I’ve played and now after watching this vid I’m definitely convinced the best approach to the plate is the same approach I took in my college and high school days.
No then you watch the ball ! Just so you have the shortest time to look towards the ball . You never wanna watch your PCI . PCI placement should eventually become second nature . Staring it down puts you at a disadvantage
I'm a quadriplegic (spinal cord injury) since I was 17yrs old. I was actually a 6'4 athlete that was going in the draft! I loved supermega 3 baseball on Xbox until finally I've got this awesome MLB the show 21 on the Xbox series X. Awesome graphics!! Believe it or not my fingers are messed up and I rest the outer part of my palm where it meets my thumb on the joysticks. I'm loving trying to master pin point pitching and that's saying a lot considering my injury. The hardest part for me is hitting because I can't seem to move my yellow circles over the ball. Maybe I'll try just trying to sit on fastballs and letting some of the other pitches go whether to high or too low. I know everyone seems to say use strikezone 1 or 2 for hitting but I kind of like using strikezone 3. Do you strictly use the A button for a normal swing or do you ever use the contact and power swings? Nick
Always normal swings bro. Sometimes in 2 strike counts I contact swing, and it's a crazy journey you've had brother. Feel free to ask more questions I'm glad you picked up MLB🙏🏻❤
I’m someone who swings at around 90-95% of pitches... but I just hit championship series, do you recommend me changing to more passive or keep doing what’s working?
@@tulo7244 dude I just watched all of your videos about hitting and I went out and got 20 hits my first game, your videos help so much. Thanks for the reply btw 🙌
Like you mentioned in another video, everyone is throwing dots with the new pinpoint pitching. So how do you get a pitch right down the middle if everyone is throwing dots at the corner? I've also tried to wait for meatballs, but every time I tried that, the result was they threw me two dots or pitches that's not where I sit, then I was 0-2 and needed to protect, and swung on bad pitches for easy outs.
If they are dotting a lot I would change up my approach a bit. Especially if hes being repetitive, try to find a pattern. If hes dotting away, be aggressive and try to get oppo hits
Am boomer, haven't played baseball game since ken griffey jr on n64. Started 2 weeks ago and this is the best tips video I've seen yet, nice work young man. Shelling rookie, winning on veteran and starting to score a few runs per game on all-star
