I really stress to new players how important honing your strike zone is. You cannot even begin to learn how to time up balls or pefect your PCI placement if you're swinging at a slider 3 feet off the plate. Day 1 I threw starter sandy's slider 2 feet off the plate 30 times in a row to someone and they did not take it once.
I’ll run into someone like that every once in awhile and wonder how they’re that bad. Then I remember how dogshit I was when I first started playing😂😂
How does one get better at that...asking for a friend
Take pitches you don't like. If it's not a fastball it's gonna drop, that should help you lay off those low ones. Trust me man it takes a lot of abs which is why you should try all this stuff out in casual or run it offline.
Think u might have been playing me
Look at your pitcher/hitter analysis after i game. I literally average about 45-52% takes a game. Once you realize you dont have to hit everything, just what you're waiting for, the whole game truly opens up
true, I used to play games where I swung at everything I thought was in the zone. Now I wait on my pitch unless I have two strikes
This helped so dang much. Especially switching to the strike zone view an absolute game changer. Sent one yard the first at bat I took with these settings
This video helped and im excited for the timing video because even when I do ID the pitch i still swing too early on it i just cant seem to get the timing down with most batters.
I still have a long way to go and I catch myself swinging at bs I know I shouldnt be swinging at, but yours along with other videos have helped me come along way since getting back into mlb last year. For yall new guys, know not every pitch in the zone is a good pitch to swing on. Step in the box with a game plan. Wait for a specific pitch or wait for a pitch in a specific part of the zone. If youre waiting for a fastball high, dont chase anything low, same thing if youre waiting for a low pitch dont try to chase anything high as youll be late on it every time.
I learned that balance is hard. Patience but also be aggressive. Learned I need to take off my vibration on the controller. The one major tip you didn't even really talk about you glossed over is I need to check out those quirks on the players and combat them more effectively. Thanks for the video.
This year is my second mlb as soon as I switched to an LG C3 gaming tv it has all the bells and whistles you need I use strike zone 2 or 3 but I'm 60 years old retired American living in Asia nice job
I think the lg c tvs are almost if not just as good as a monitor? Input lag is 5.2ms when tested. C3, c2 and c1 have the same pannel specs? The xpu is different.
@@gointomexico I just got the c3 2 weeks ago I do see a difference enjoy life always mate
47 here. I feel like my reaction/cognition is slowing me down compared to younger guys, but maybe I’m making an excuse. Any play style adjustments you can suggest for timing (beyond TV upgrade/wired controller, etc)
@@scottsweet13are you playing on a regular TV?
I'm still waiting for this channel to blow up. Been watching since the start of the show 23 - awesome content. Maybe try TH-cam shorts or tik tok to give yourself more exposure?
this was much better than other hitting videos. i realized im swinging at stupid pitches especially after hitting a HR. i still use the pitchers view on pitching but i definately can see the value in using strike zone to see more pitches. i just really enjoy it too much lol. thanks for a great video. fyi i bought a 120hz tv onl to find out it simulates 120 for sports and tv viewing but doesnt actually do a true 120 so it doesnt work with my series x☹️
Brutal discovery on the tv
Subbed as soon as you talked about pitching view.
Cool vid! I’ll still be late on everything but good tips!
wasted 25 minutes
Great video!
Let’s go keep smashing the content! Also maybe a team update?
I could, but I don’t really want to flex it nms since the glitch is patched
Love you’re content man! You should do a stream with myfriendkyle! That would be awesome!
One day maybe
I played him this morning in an event game, the things he did to Joe Kelly and Felix Bautista should be illegal. I’ve played a couple streamers and he’s different, his swings and contact were unreal. I’ve seen this video and he practices what he preaches.
Zoom hitting view >>>> nice video bro 🤝
That’s what I use
I swing at balls in the dirt on zoom. It’s impossible to me. Even outside pitches
I have to be the worst at pci. Tons of reps so far. Am I getting better? Yes, a little bit but playing on Rookie I can still lose to the cpu heh.. I do not hear those sounds when I hit yet. Thanks for the video.
As a newbie to mlb the show I have a lot to learn my reflexes aren’t what they use to be 😂
If you want a simulation, this video won't help. If you are playing on a TV the input will be delayed, if on a PC monitor you will have better success. All-Star is easy on a PC monitor, it won't be a simulation and everyone on the team will hit over 300. Bottom line is you have to be able to pick up the pitch and that is repetition not settings. I still get beat by sliders, especially in stress situations, but there are no settings (other than difficulty) that will help you hit better more than practice with different pitchers in batting practice mode. Even with that there are still parks I cannot pickup the ball on time due to the batter eye and sunlight against it (I think Minnesota is one). If you want to hit better, practice on a harder level than you play (unless you are on legend) and realize that you will have good days and bad, just like the pros.
i notice the bat catcher is not giving you the signs anymore how do you find it in setting
When you make your pitching video can you touch on how you change your pitching approach on all star vs hof and legend?
Ofc
Yo I had a powera for a while, the gamesir controller is crazy good. Definitely prefer it
Do you use kontrol freaks or anything on your gamesir controller?
I have an issue with my new gen Xbox standard controller going too high or too low with the pci. Do you use control freaks or precision rings or does the Power A controller help with this issue?
That’s just you bro. Try control freaks with precision rings
Much appreciated
If you play on PS4 flick is the way to go. Zone doesn’t work because of the input lag.
Back in 21,22 & 23. I had the guess pitch set to pci and that would show me where the pitch as well as allow me to move the pci. Now the pci locks any idea how to help?
I wouldn’t use guess pitch, only applies to offline modes
latency wise, is the power A controller better than a regular xbox series x controller? can I just plug in my regular controller and will it be the same as the PowerA?
Possibly I haven’t tried it, but the power a helps a ton for pinpoint
How do you stay composed when you miss hittable pitches? Feels like the opponent gets in my head every time I miss the mistake pitches.
Short term memory, just got to think about the next one
My main problem is swinging at low sinkers low circle changes and low forks.
Forkballs are especially hard to lay off
Thank you for NOT making another custom practice tutorial!
I was so frightened of pci in ‘23 this is my second year playing and ‘24 pci feels way easier my avg went from .190 to .260
Good improvement
Is anyone having issues with silly defensive errors or most of all swinging extremely early this year ? I’m hitting everything early.
Do any top players use a non zoomed hitting or pitching view..I like to see my player
No they all use this view and some would be garbage if it wasn't for these specific settings I wish it would make you play from a pitcher and hitters view were you have to see your player to me it's what makes this game kind of garbage when talking of online everyone online is just playing a pci to pitching there is no Emerson since you never see your batter and unfortunate that in order to compete with the best online you have to subject yourself to same settings if not you will get destroyed I love playing zoom and pitchers view get destroyed immediately but if the game played you with my settings on harder difficulty I believe it would make for better online gaming in my opinion
I use strike zone 3 red 100 opacity with just the bat
I’m newish to the game, played since day 1 ea and I got better , with all tips I got on the way, I hit okish at best, I watch this vid and was really good, I liked it a lot. I’m just wondering, for example if it goes down exactly in the corner, on the black, how you know the ball is going out or is on the edge. This is my biggest issue, should I swing or let it pass. Sometimes I swing , the ball goes too low, sometimes I swing and the ball goes just in, cheese all the way. How to distinct cheese from a ball that’s off, that’s the biggest problem, together with recognizing the pitch and even if I recognize, how I react to it, how I react to certain pitches. Do I wait ? Do I move my pci. You so good that I sometimes barely could see what you did sometimes, it’s so fast and I was trying while watching and you hitting to guess where it was going, and I was many time just off. Anyways , the vid was very good. I’m going to watch it again now, cause I like how you explain, just a bit fast sometimes cause you play extremely well
Basically discernment of where a ball is going to go is done the same as in real life, with practice.
The best tip I can probably offer you, while strike zone view helps, it to go into custom practice. Go to legend difficulty and do not swing at ANYTHING.tge pitches will be extremely fast coming in and what you are going to want to do is try to guess if it's a ball or a strike. Do that for like 10 mins a day and you will eventually get fairly reliable at it so when you are playing on difficulty below legend it will be a breeze to see it almost instantly
@@ithomas7788 thnx I’ve been doing this and it did get a bit better. The real though ones are still the slurves in the ground and other stuff that go down. Its so hard to see if it goes in. On top online has like a hickup sometimes when I’m about to hit, but I’ve not played that much online. so yeah if I’It’s been a struggle, I’ve hit 4 homers in a game, than to totaly don’t feel it next game. It’s so frustrating at times lol, but I have fun. And flyballs, I hit so much flyballs, it’s ugly. I do follow up to all tips, so will keep doing this
I should mention. One final tip.
Do not, under any circumstances swing at pitches on the black 99% of the time unless you are on 2 strikes. If they want to paint corners let them try to be perfect with it. If you swing at stuff that's hard to hit for free your more liable to ground out or pop up because of pci adjustment.
What I recommend strongly is set your pci in an area. 1st pitch look for something close to that spot. If it's not, don't swing at it.
After 1 strike, open it up a little bit to middle zones.
After 2nd strike expand to the full box and swing at anything close. Ideally you will make some kind of contact be it a foul or not and eventually you will either go down swinging or get a pitch to hit/walked.
@@SuperCesarlopes the simple solution is to like I said in my last comment and just not swing at it. Unless they are literally perfect there will be times when it's hittable and you just got to wait for those.
My tips come from real baseball experience which, while different l, can still be made useable.
What 99% of people struggle doing is coming up with a consistent plate approach and sticking with it
@@ithomas7788 this is excellent help imo, I picture what you say about zoning on each count. I will start using this, till it’s natural. Thnx a lot. Will read thru everything again and start applying it. Thnx a lot, it was really helpful
What cheap monitors would you recommend? I’ve always been a solid ws player on tv, but looking to make that next jump. Thanks for the content
i play on monitor and barely can make ws, how tf?😂
Almost all .1ms response monitors work but I’m on a benq 32 in
I use LG C3 tv with all tge bells and whistles changed my whole game
@@CJ12KYT how much does hz matter would 100 do fine?
@@Gb_09732I would recommend 120 to 240 hz.
Hey, could you please go over the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz a bit more? I have 60 Hz rn, but the faster pitches on HoF seem so blurry compared to what i see on my phone when watching streamers. Could this explain that issue?
I turned crossplay off and it helped a little but i have the same issue. Not every game though. Most games i track the ball well i just miss with my pci or im so early its awful lol. I have a much harder time hitting in cross play games though. Could be my tv and controller
You pretty much explained it yourself
@@stevedayton5419 I've turned it off forever, no need for it. But im practically always late, unless im completely awake, but even then, the pitches are just blazing, and so hard to see. Sliders look like cutters, changeups are no different from sinkers and fastballs
@@CJ12KYT so it has that big of an impact? Anything 97 and up is unreadable, its just a guess of where it is going.
Anything 97+ is most likely a 4seam, but it can impact your perception of pitches
You said to use the players swing animation to base your timing off of… please elaborate. I’m not sure what you mean. Strike zone view cuts out most of the character model.
They are watching his foot, Go into practice tomorrow and check it out. I Don't do it myself but I know a lot of people do. They are timing the foot coming up and when the foot comes back down.
Lol I don't know where tomorrow came from damn auto type
Hands and feet. If you feel weird with a certain player its probably because you aren't picking up cues from his hands or feet well. Some players are heavily disliked for how poor or distracting the cues are i.e. huge leg kick, Being an absolute statue until the ball comes, hunched over etc. A lot of the old timer players, Babe Ruth, Lou Gherig, etc. have a hand wind up, its a cue you're responding to wether you're conscious of it or not. Every player in the game is going to time the ball up for you, but your ability to feel comfortable with those cues will determine if you're timing up pitches well or not. If you're newer, try not to discriminate a players swing to much, over the year as you bat with more cards, you'll likely develop preferences with certain players.
Try strike zone 3
It’s called tempo basically just timing the leg kick and its speed for a short summary it just fast leg kick=fastball slower/delayed= offspeed
I'm new to the game and therefore new to zone hitting. The main issue I am having is getting the pci placement where it needs to be for a good hit. I just can't do it consistently and it also throws my timing off. Is there something I can do?
Focus on the pitchers hand and learn the pitches spins
I recommend looking at the ball the whole time and not the pci. If you’re watching your pci you’ll be late on a lot of pitches
A stick grip to put on ur controller could also help some
I use the button timing for hitting because i cant figure out where to put the pci. I miss every time. I also play on rookie. Anything above that i get beat badly.
how do you even enjoy the game when it’s essentially playing for you?
@@siruser23 i enjoy it just fine thanks. Are you implying you have to play on legend and have difficult settings to have a good time?
@@SSgtBigSwoleyou have to play on Atleast Allstar or you will never get better
@@MX-jo5dq If i do that then i will never win and not even get to enjoy the game. Probably wind up breaking a controller or two. Lol
Another hitting tips video where they don't mention the batter leg kick. It's a definite tell on whether its a fast or off speed pitch
Only certain batters and I said I’d have a timing video
Do you think kontrol freaks help?
They can it just depends on you comfort level
Do you use the paddle to swing or front button
Buttons but the best player on the game uses paddles
@@CJ12KYT is it that substantial of a difference or basically same thing
@@CJ12KYTkriner?
Do you have a link for Power A fusion controller? I see Pro 1,2,and 3 available
Mines a pro 3 idk how much the edition matters
@@CJ12KYT thx man!!
Wonder what don't offers that's not $200 dollars like that edge thing?
Even with the CPU strikes slider up they throw so many pitches out of the zone, and I can already read those somewhat well. No option for strikes only pretty lame.
That’s not how baseball works
Is hitting easier this year or is pitching harder?
Depends on what your are better at and if you are using timing for pitches or spinning the stick.
THE FUCKING GOAT!!!!!!
What controller is best for Xbox?
Power A for most
Also for mlb 24.....in offline grinding rookie difficulty is not your friend
No definitely not
I can tell i took a few months off b4 24,, cause im struggling
Honestly the best way to do it, saves you from burnout
@@CJ12KYT is altitude not ad good ad diamonds or circle?? It rarely gets talked about, and I like it better
@@mysunsburneraccount2076 all preference but it does take up more of your screen
@@CJ12KYT makes since,, I do think it's time to get a cheap monitor,, I have never played mlb at anything higher then 60 fps, I have heard alot it helps
Also once you play online youre gonna start to notice pitchers tendencies
I’m so bad at this game it’s making me want to stop playing. Everything I do Im bad.
Me too bro like I’m bad bad lol but just keep on playing and hopefully will get better
Play co op with friends
Enjoy it not sweat it
Have fun
This guy making hitting seem easy when its hard as hell lol
are you wearing a UNC shirt hell yeah brother
20% Magenta ftw!
Invisible ass pci lol
Do you use P rings on your controller?
No what I show in the vid is exactly what use
Im new to the game and i cant hit a fucking ball to save my life. Idk why but on diamond dynasty i cant hit at all im like almost 0 for 1,000 batting it makes no sense. Then i go into a regular exhibition game with shitty teams and i can hit perfectly fine
How is an Xbox controller hurting us if it’s not a power a or having a headset plugged in ?? What??!!
That’s a question for Microsoft
@@CJ12KYT does your old video on using the smooth stick on the elite still apply that’s what iv been doing for awhile cuz it felt decent
@robertpenn7241 not sure but I would assume it does
I've also uninstalled the controller firmware through the Xbox and that seems to work (Elite 2). I've also heard you could do a wired connection to the Xbox to fix the issue. This has been an issue since the game came to Xbox. Still don't understand why it hasn't been fixed, because it's a HUGE difference.
U look like Jake Cronenworth
I play on a LG C1, believe that is better than a monitor.
Everyone knows strike zone high is the best
Shit awful I hit on catcher view
I cant track pitches for shit. It has to be a better way. Lol
Total misinformation. It’s not better to be early on pitches in this game. Way too many foul balls
Too many foul balls in mlbts24? No shot
@@CJ12KYT this has to be sarcasm
This game is ass
I can’t have the PCI art on screen. It’s such a distraction to me.
If it’s out of the zone, leave it alone.
Strike zone camera is awful. Catcher far is the way to go.
You got on the catcher view?
@@jordanosborne4383. I use catcher far (MLB 16 cam).
