Me and a few of my friends on Xbox are installing it right now I’m kinda hype never played before so I’m watching just to get some what of a feel for the game
i’ve been playing the show for years and this is the first year i’m actually trying to get good at using zone hitting. this video helped me so much with my timing and locating the pitches. great video
Honestly, its trash. Pci is waay OP. You can’t be competitive using pure analog or directional which is sad. A 95mph fastball cokes in like 115mlh sometimes and sometimes a 95mph fastball comes in feeling like 80. Curveballs going up 3 feet and then dropping, not like real life. Batters hitting outside pitches and pulling them for homeruns, never happens. The game pretty much just decides who wins and loses regardless of what you do.
Added your changes to my game and within a hour I was putting more balls in play. I was always good at reading the ball but putting the bat on the ball was my biggest issue. Now Im making it happen. Thanks for the video and information.
I’ll have a strand of like 2 days during the week where I hit lights out and I’m banging 2-3 homers a game and then there’s the rest of the week where I can barely scrape together 1 base hit per game
Literally, the next showdown I played, I got my highest start at 10 runs! Lost 1 of the rouns that was a pitching round... then won the final showdown with 2 huge homeruns! These tips helped me tons already! immediate impact!
Xbox player here. I watched this video yesterday and implemented all the suggestions. While I’m not a power hitting monster yet, I am getting the bat on the ball more and striking out less. Thank you for this!
I have been over flicking SO MUCH. By far my biggest issue, Just got this game and i’ve watched over 10-15 videos on how to get better. Not kidding when I say this... Yours helped by far the most. Keep posting man i gotta keep watching ur vids
@@G0ode had the game for 4 days and I’m ready to delete it. Not trying to struggle for months on rookie and be miserable trying to get good. Might just stick to nhl
This video was a game saver for me. I'm an Xbox player so new to the game and despite watching several batting guide video's was still finding that side of the game the most frustrating, to the point of not wanting to play. Followed eveything you said here and suddenly I can hit the ball and feel like I am actually taking part in the ball game. Still a long way to go to become proficient but you have certainly got me on the road...Thanks for that.
Bro all I have to say is WOW!!! I had been struggling and struggling watched multiple tutorials and nothing would work. I came across yours and Im not gonna lie when you said to put it on Zone for hitting interface, I was like here we go again, but with the other adjustments and I would have to the way you were detailed and explained it all it worked. Thanks so much Ive made a total 360 in my batting game
I had to come back to this video to say thank you so much bro! I’ve watched at least 6-8 other hitting tutorials/tips and none of them helped like this. I was ranked 550 and now I’m all the way up to 680. I went from scoring 0-3 runs a game to triple that easily by implementing your suggestions. My pitching is rawwww in this game (2.48 ERA with 70 games played), but I was only playing .500 baseball since my hitting stunk so bad. I’ve won 7 games in a row now! Literally got 18 hits in 6 innings in my first game after watching this video before my opponent quit. My last opponent was over 700 rating so we were on hall of fame and I scored 4 runs in the 1st inning and had 2 more runs with the bases loaded in the 2nd before he quit! This video was a total game changer for me and is going to take my game to the next level! Thanks @Goode!
WOW! A TH-camr that actually understands that I suck and need real help hitting instead of “just point the pci at the ball”. Great tutorial and definitely hitting balls way harder now.
this might be the most helpful hitting tips video. this is the only video that talks about over flicking the pci which i’ve always had trouble with. thank you much
As a noob I really appreciate the details in this vid. You’ve earned a sub. Gonna check out the rest of your channel here in a second. Hopefully you have diamond dynasty
Some of these tips I was like “huh???” But DUDE!!!! They work so well!!!! I’m starting to slap singer and get all kind of hit and I’m on a 20 game hit streak. You’re the man!
This is the one!! I'm new to The Show on Xbox. I've watched 20 videos at least on hitting. I've played days worth of game time already, but I was barely getting better at hitting. This has accelerated my learning. Giving the example with Chapman and the steps on how to set thumb placement is great. All of the other videos say to learn what works best, but don't give anywhere to start with how to figure what works best for me. It's almost like The Show community doesn't want to help new xbox players get better at hitting. Except for you. Thank you for this! This is a great video.
Xbox player here, I was doing ok after a few days and was looking for some tips....its only been 15 minutes and there's a HUGE difference. Thanks so much and new sub here ✌
Watched a bunch of videos that did absolutely nothing to help me. This video helped me go from flirting with a .250 average up to hitting .400+ with power and forcing me into bumping up pitch difficulty. Thanks, brohamski!
It makes your Pci smaller when you swing, leaving less room for good and perfect contact. And in my experience, power swing gives no boost to power over normal swing
I’m a returning player but I’m pretty inconsistent with my hitting but I can tell an improvement immediately after watching this my biggest problem was swinging at breaking balls outside the zone but now I have to be more precise with my movements it helps me slow down a little and read them better
New to the show but I found this helpful,RTTS mode also has a batting practice. Goto play, view calendar, click on the day of game and there it is batting practice. Several different drills too, As well as one for fielding and base running.
Bro... I’m newer to this game and I was getting so frustrated playing this game and I finally watched this video and already I’m three home runs deep and getting more hits thank you! I love baseball and I loved playing baseball games throughout the years but since I got an Xbox this is the first one I’ve had in years so I am way behind the power curve your video helped me so much!
Man after I watched this video I have won 2 games and even hit a couple of home runs..thanks man! Downloaded the game for my Xbox series X last week. New subscriber here 💯
Tried this for a little bit in practice then did an extra innings game against the cpu… scored 6 which is unheard of by my standards. Feel like I’m more precise with the pci instead of all over the place. Thanks for the tips and I’ll subscribe.
I wanna say I watched this video last week, and before then I couldn’t hit for crap, and since watching this I’ve probably hit like 100 home runs. You’re the goat 🐐
@@phatdollazentertainment I like to favor the power stats vs overall because that’s how I play the game, trying to hit as many home runs as possible. Team power really doesn’t matter, it’s all about individual player stats
if you are still struggling try strike zone high. It zooms it out a tad bit and raises it. It is still the strike zone angle but you are able to see lower pitches break on offspeed and different types of pitches better
This is getting to a point i dont even wanna play used to be pretty good at baseball games now im shit.... cant even keep up with the pitch speed set to rookie on zone...
I will always have respect for you now, I am going to recommend you to all my friends, I was no where near catching up to degroms 101 fastball now it’s all perfect perfects
Thank you so much. The 90 degree thumb angle has really helping me with my pci placement so far today. I’ve always been stuck in DS and CS and hopefully this tip can help me get to WS for the first time.
It all depends on the difficulty your playing on. When I switch game modes and hop around difficulties my timing is all over the place. You have to get used to certain difficulties.
I depends on the division. Anything below All star divisions is on veteran. From all star to division series it’s on all star. From division series to World Series it’s on hall of fame. Then in World Series it’s on legend. Hope this helps
Yo I never comment on videos but this helped me out so much, I used to play 9 inning games and be lucky to score 1 run on veteran/allstar and literally my first game after this video was a ranked game where I made the guy quit after the first inning because I hit so many HRs, thanks
I use the fisher cam and I’m getting pretty good at hitting on legend. I’m still not anywhere close to where I wanna be but I’ve definitely notice a difference. I can’t play on zoom or strike zone it’s way too close for me.
About how long does it take to get good at hitting? I've been at it since the game dropped and I haven't gotten any better and I can't keep losing to CPU on all star 🤦🏽♂️ Should I consider directional at this point?
Just put it on pure analog and use the right stick to hit. Very easy ..up is normal swing ..left and right is contact swing. Then you just time your swing according to the pitch
I was struggling with the 8 total based moment for Duvall and changed to your setting in the third inning and went 4-5 and hit a bomb in the 9th to get 8 bases. Helped out so much.
Dude this tutorial helped me sooo much Im new to this game but like I'm good at video games and played ball my whole life was having such a tough time with the hitting and the way you hold your thumb tip helped me so much thanks man
I have the inner braces on and i line it up with the strike zone, and anything on the edge i just based on the braces, anything close on 0-2 just swing at it late and foul it off.it has worked so far
@@rattlers87 I’ve been switching between the 2 a lot I get more home runs using directional but way more hits using zone. On zone I hit almost everything but it’s mostly groundouts even with all the perfects.
I kept playing didnt kill myself but did destroy controllers I think they look cooler with missing pieces. Zone is the only way to play this game I can no longer can use directional. On directional your leaving it up to the game to allow you to get hits on zone its completely on you. I have been getting so many hits now. The best part about zone is you can smash a lot of the shit thrown outside of the box.
@Delta playz gamez another hint is you must have that cursor thing pointed up when you bat especially if its a power hitter then boom homerun and nah i aint low level lol 😂
I didn’t want to believe your stab thumb method made that much of a difference. But I kept JUST missing pitches, flying out on the warning track & whatnot. Then I tried it. Crushed a 2 run homer 420 feet just inside the right field foul pole 🤯. Thanks man ❤️⚾️
New to The Show, and baseball in general, thanks for the video. This is a noob question but what is the difference between normal/contact/power swing? Feels like I just want to use power swing for every pitch. Should I be using the other two ever?
Personally, I only use normal swing. I hit just as many, maybe even more home runs with normal than power, because power swings has drawbacks. (Smaller pci, smaller perfect window)
Nice tips. Looking forward to more. Specifically I need help with swing discipline. I’m getting killed grounding into dp’s. Do you have a method to strategize what pitches and parts of the strike zone to camp on?
Has anyone noticed that the contact of the bat hitting the ball sounds way crappier this year ? Like every hit sounds the same, even the perfect contact hits don't really sound too much different. Compared to last year when there was a solid "crack" of the bat. I'm playing on the PS4 so maybe its different on the PS5 ? What are your guys thoughts, anyone else have this issue ?
I've played this game for years. First time on xbox...I've tried this what you've shown and I hit nothing but ground balls or foul tips. Do you use the buttons to hit or the sticks?
When batting do you always swing with the A (X on Playstation) button? Or do you use the contact and power swings? And if so when do you use them? (I am a complete and total noob with MLB.)
I always use normal swing, X. Only use contact swing if there is a runner on 2 or 3rd base with two outs and I have two strikes to try and get a base hit to bring him in. Hope this helps
Sorry for replying to an old video, hoping you see this. I just started playing the game today for about 4 hours and although I was terrible at it I actually enjoyed playing the game, which is the first time I've enjoyed a game and played for more than an hour in about 5 years. You mention "Kontrolfreek + 90 degrees", but what does this mean? I see KF seems to be a product line, can you send a link for the right one? And 90 degrees from the bottom or side? Is that that reference to thumb angle? Sorry for noob questions. I really enjoyed the video and am looking forward to applying your teachings tomorrow and spending some time on the game!

I hit a homer over the green monster with a contact swing my first day of playing

Give up the power swing..almost zero benefit of using it

Glad to be helping guys like you out
Thank you !! First at bat after switching settings was a double to left . Prior to your video I was 3-25 . Much appreciated!!!
Let’s go!
Thank you so much, I was in a huge hitting slump in road to the show and while watching this video I’ve hit back to back perfect home runs.
best thing for me was to start on beginner and slowly work my way up to the smaller PCI’s
That is also a good idea!
Same thing I did.
So I’m new to MLB the Show 21 and why so is a bigger pci better for beginners and also does a bigger pc help you hit better?
Yes it increases your area for solid contact
Ditto

X always
@@G0ode what if ur on Xbox
I use x on xbox
Best hitting video on TH-cam. Great video my man. Play on Xbox (finally), so this was all new to me. THANK YOU
For swing Type, ALWAYS USE NORMAL SWING! (X on PlayStation, A on Xbox!)
Why not use power swing ?
It makes your Pci smaller when you swing, leaving less room for good and perfect contact. And in my experience, power swing gives no boost to power over normal swing

So is team power more important than overalls?? This my first year I have 6 diamonds but only 68 power overall
@@phatdollazentertainment I like to favor the power stats vs overall because that’s how I play the game, trying to hit as many home runs as possible. Team power really doesn’t matter, it’s all about individual player stats
I’m a new player. I’m super super early on everything. Someone said you can time your swing with the players stride so what animations should I use
My personal favorite swing is adalberto mondesi. It’s a quick and slappy swing easy to time
And don’t change any of the stride and swing animations besides bat flips, it will screw up the animation
if you are still struggling try strike zone high. It zooms it out a tad bit and raises it. It is still the strike zone angle but you are able to see lower pitches break on offspeed and different types of pitches better

The very next online game i played after watching this i hit 5 HR. You the real GOAT my boy
I’m literally always too early or too late. So frustrating
You’ll get used to it keep playing I got better after like a day of playing
It all depends on the difficulty your playing on. When I switch game modes and hop around difficulties my timing is all over the place. You have to get used to certain difficulties.
Yeah bro start on beginner and you’ll start catching the groove, and from there just start moving up in difficulty
What difficulty is diamond dynasty seasons?
I depends on the division. Anything below All star divisions is on veteran. From all star to division series it’s on all star. From division series to World Series it’s on hall of fame. Then in World Series it’s on legend. Hope this helps

What ever works for you brotha
About how long does it take to get good at hitting? I've been at it since the game dropped and I haven't gotten any better and I can't keep losing to CPU on all star 🤦🏽♂️
Should I consider directional at this point?
How do I see my batting feedback I can’t see it and it’s making me mad I want to see my perfect perfect hits but I can’t

what about in franchise mode? does this apply?
Should you always power swing? Or mix it up
Always normal swing

New to The Show, and baseball in general, thanks for the video. This is a noob question but what is the difference between normal/contact/power swing? Feels like I just want to use power swing for every pitch. Should I be using the other two ever?
Personally, I only use normal swing. I hit just as many, maybe even more home runs with normal than power, because power swings has drawbacks. (Smaller pci, smaller perfect window)
@@G0ode Ah ok, good to know, thanks man, appreciate it.
Nice tips. Looking forward to more. Specifically I need help with swing discipline. I’m getting killed grounding into dp’s. Do you have a method to strategize what pitches and parts of the strike zone to camp on?
Not really, just gotta be able to recognize low off speeds and if you can get to the to hit them well or if they are a ball
Bro thank you. I’m on Xbox and I deadass got a home run first try with your settings.
Nice
When should i do contact, power or normal hitting?
Always normal, unless it’s bottom 9th down by one runner on 3rd two outs two strikes 👍
DUDE THANK YOU!! This helped me tremendously!
Appreciate it
Has anyone noticed that the contact of the bat hitting the ball sounds way crappier this year ? Like every hit sounds the same, even the perfect contact hits don't really sound too much different. Compared to last year when there was a solid "crack" of the bat. I'm playing on the PS4 so maybe its different on the PS5 ? What are your guys thoughts, anyone else have this issue ?
Yup they did something to it
Do I press x, square or circle to swing? What do you recommend
X only
I've played this game for years. First time on xbox...I've tried this what you've shown and I hit nothing but ground balls or foul tips. Do you use the buttons to hit or the sticks?
Buttons and normal swing
@@G0ode Not power or contact? Just "A" button?
Yup. The others hurt u to much
Huge thanks for the tips! The strike zone view is making a huge difference already!
When batting do you always swing with the A (X on Playstation) button? Or do you use the contact and power swings? And if so when do you use them? (I am a complete and total noob with MLB.)
I always use normal swing, X. Only use contact swing if there is a runner on 2 or 3rd base with two outs and I have two strikes to try and get a base hit to bring him in. Hope this helps
Thanks got a 3 rbi double first at bat with these settings.
I'm decent at pitching but my batting is so garbage since I started lol. This helps a lot
Sorry for replying to an old video, hoping you see this. I just started playing the game today for about 4 hours and although I was terrible at it I actually enjoyed playing the game, which is the first time I've enjoyed a game and played for more than an hour in about 5 years.
You mention "Kontrolfreek + 90 degrees", but what does this mean? I see KF seems to be a product line, can you send a link for the right one? And 90 degrees from the bottom or side? Is that that reference to thumb angle?
Sorry for noob questions. I really enjoyed the video and am looking forward to applying your teachings tomorrow and spending some time on the game!
Bless up , I’m on Xbox started on directional , changed my hitter view and to zone. Been hitting crazy so far.
