I use directional. I also use zone but i use directional a lot lol it's not horrible. The arrows are used for the direction of the ball. But you have to time it well. For example if the pitch is on the edge of the zone you use the arrow to drive the ball towards that direction. The up arrow is to elevate the ball, depending on the hitters overall of course. In practice mode if you go to "batting control" you get better understanding of directional. It does have it's disadvantages similar to zone to zone. Still cool though. Both hitting types have its pros and cons. The worst hitting option is Timing. You have to use the analog stick to do a leg kick, it's really weird.
Ideas: you and Adam play each other with varying team builds. You and Adam pitch and hit together, one doing each, like you’ve done before. You and Adam do a BR draft together, switching who picks every other round, and then team hit and pitch on the BR run, too.
I used to use directional hitting all the time. All you have to do is time the pitch and based off the persons stats, they will hit the ball the pci is random.
Not going to lie brother I use directional and I’m pretty good fr if you got tips on timing gotta get better so I definitely thought pci was harder but seeing you struggle means im doing good I guess bc I always thought pci was toughest but I see it’s the easiest fr
Challenge: Build a team starting at position 1- Pitcher and make a team alphabetically so pitcher’s last name has to start with A, catcher has to start with B and so on.
Man, how'd you and Kevin end up doing the exact same video (pretty much) and release it within a couple hours of each other? Crazy. Keep up the good content, brother.
Tatis is improved bro. I ranked him up to level 5 and he is murdering it for me, haha. Plus you had some solid AB's and hits with him last time. Just say'n...
Challenge idea Every time your opponent makes contact you have to throw the ball to first if it's a double play ball you have to throw to first if it's a shallow fly ball with a runner on 3rd you have to throw it to first
You have to think to use directional. I win all the time using it. If you think the pitch will be inside and aim in , you will crush the ball.The game will show you where you are swinging , you just don’t have the settings right.
If i had to rank the MLB the Show youtubers I would say Littleman would probably be #1 as his PCI control is mutant like. Adam Samuels, Kyle, Schenn up there too.
that was me that u were playing good game woulda beat me if it wasn’t for the challenge but the pci feedback just stayed in the middle when u swing and sometimes it would move i don’t know how
My brother uses it and I always tell him you will hit better with zone and he says no it's too hard to learn so yeah he uses it and I've got a challenge classic pitching only
I was getting the worst outcomes with my pci the other night on legend switched to directional in bottom of the ninth and trout hit a Perfect perfect nuke to left 115 off the bat first pitch😂
CHALLENGE: Turn on auto baserunning and fielding and play a game.
we need this
that would be cool
this is it
Can’t online
U cant auto field in ranked
Challenge - use the swing according to the card, power- power swing , contact - contact swing , balanced - regular swing! Would be a nice mixed team
Pitcher no swing or bunt
@@monke.08 I mean pitcher should be contact swing the whole time
@@yupitsoreo what if it’s ohtani
@@1biasedherbertfan979 that's why he said should
Nice do this kyle
For directional. All you have to do is basically put it in one spot and hold it there. That's mainly where the ball will go if contact is made
Team build: all commons
im pretty sure adam won a game doing that.
He literally said no lol
@@schmuglbubcam he did with commons. He lost his silvers game.
Challenge: change the hitting view every inning. Example: strike zone to fish eye to strike zone high etc.
"Hitting is mental."
Complained the whole game.
Went to Zone & wasn't too much better.
🤣

You and Adam do a BR draft together, switching who picks every other round, and then team hit and pitch on the BR run, too.
Do a video where Adam moves the PCI and you touch the buttons. Play on br because that's easier.
Directional is really about timing
The future of the mlb, an all future stars team build would be nice to see
“That’s a phenomenal swing, I lost”.
Kyle 2022
If you miss your spot on directional it’s a home run every time
I used to use directional hitting all the time. All you have to do is time the pitch and based off the persons stats, they will hit the ball the pci is random.
I’ve played well with directional hitting. I switched over because everyone says I needed to
I use it all the time. You don’t aim your pci. You pick the direction you want to try and hit the ball. It’s really not hard. It’s easy!
I think he has bad plate discipline, that's why he can't hit with directional.
CHALLENGE IDEA: use classic to pitch all game.
Team build where u can only use players stayed with the same team. Minimum 7 years
Not going to lie brother I use directional and I’m pretty good fr if you got tips on timing gotta get better so I definitely thought pci was harder but seeing you struggle means im doing good I guess bc I always thought pci was toughest but I see it’s the easiest fr
12:30 we both said the same thing 😂
Challenge: I heard from you in a previous that you did an eye patch before? Would love to see that!
Pure Analog, classic pitching, and button throwing challenge. All one game
Letssss gooooo I’ve been telling him to do it thanks Kyle
Directional is classic. It’s the way mlb the show was in the 90s. It’s easier with pci. Directional you have to have timing
He had good timing and was whiffing what do you mean lol
What? With Zone you have to have both PCI placement and timing…
Which card is the 97 card in your bullpen next to Chapman?
Challenge: Build a team starting at position 1- Pitcher and make a team alphabetically so pitcher’s last name has to start with A, catcher has to start with B and so on.
Adam did the all common team and it was fun to watch ngl
Man, how'd you and Kevin end up doing the exact same video (pretty much) and release it within a couple hours of each other? Crazy. Keep up the good content, brother.
Tatis is improved bro. I ranked him up to level 5 and he is murdering it for me, haha. Plus you had some solid AB's and hits with him last time. Just say'n...
FINNNALLLLYYYYYYYY HE DID IT!
He finally did it
Challenge- draft a br team, then use that same full team in ranked
Where did you get your hat brother?
If there’s a way for you to invert the colors on your monitor, you should play an entire game with inverted colors.
I use it all the time u don't have to do anything but swing unless u want to hit it in a direction otherwise just swing . Hope that helps man.
Challenge idea
Every time your opponent makes contact you have to throw the ball to first if it's a double play ball you have to throw to first if it's a shallow fly ball with a runner on 3rd you have to throw it to first
Challenge: use 1 player from each team and spin a wheel to decide
Challenge: Decades built. 1 player from every decade starting with 2020 and going back as far as possible
Challenge: Use 100 or below hitting stats. Either Contact or Power, doesn't have to be both
Say this on Facebook earlier, but I saw a fun team build you could do: Team full of players named Mike or Michael
Do pitchers view batting
Where ever your pointing it it gets more power into your swing going the way you point it
You have to think to use directional. I win all the time using it. If you think the pitch will be inside and aim in , you will crush the ball.The game will show you where you are swinging , you just don’t have the settings right.
video idea - take the 3-4 best guys on the team to what ever standard and replace them with silvers and play ranked
If i had to rank the MLB the Show youtubers I would say Littleman would probably be #1 as his PCI control is mutant like. Adam Samuels, Kyle, Schenn up there too.
that was me that u were playing good game woulda beat me if it wasn’t for the challenge but the pci feedback just stayed in the middle when u swing and sometimes it would move i don’t know how
Is anyone one gonna talk about how chipper hit it right on top of the lower sign near the scoreboard 5:33
cAn YoU dO aN aLl CoMmOn TeAm BuIlD
Challenge: switch hitting settings every inning and pitching in order
use retro hitting view for a challenge for a game
My brother uses it and I always tell him you will hit better with zone and he says no it's too hard to learn so yeah he uses it and I've got a challenge classic pitching only
CHALLENGE: use two controllers. one for the buttons on the right side, another on the left
Highest vision team + contact swing = foul off every time.
Challenge: Still use directional hitting, but your team should be highest “plate vision”
What about an all topps now team build?
I was getting the worst outcomes with my pci the other night on legend switched to directional in bottom of the ninth and trout hit a Perfect perfect nuke to left 115 off the bat first pitch😂
CHALLENGE: do a game with classic pitching
all you had to do was hold it where you want the ball go .IE : directional , the direction you want the ball to go .
Hit using the pitcher view 🤣
Nothing is gonna work when you are swinging at balls constantly
RTTS KYLE luv u
CHALLENGE - Only use 2nd Basemen at every position. (Biggio at Catcher) stuff like that.
Return of Pulse Pimpin ?? 👀
Do a bunt only game with all the fastest guys and guys with the most bunting
Analog Stride hitting challenge or Pulse pitching
Try pitching with so something other then pinpoint… try pulse or meter since Shelfy used analog
Love series team build
Go to the marketplace and only use a set amount of stubs ( your discretion) and build a team
I played with directional and the arrow is for him to throw down low and all that I am getting better at zone
Try to use the broadcast batting view for one challenge
it’s just all about timing for directional hitting
5:44 are you sure this isn't a slurve?
Challenge- Use fish eye
Do retro camera angle with your godsquad from july
Challenge; Use 2 bronze, 2 silvers, 2 golds, and 2 diamonds with normal pitching and bullpen
Can u do a redsox build?
Can you bring back golden boys and add Brandon belt gold
Love the videos
All you have to do is time the ball and move the L3 where you want the ball to go
Team build you use a player from a team and that team has to be the main team in a baseball movie
Challenge: spin a wheel of letters and whatever the letter lands on is the first letter of a players first name at that position. Good luck 👍
Challenge. Final squad from last years game or original squad from the beginning of this game
Team build idea, all best fielders.
so ur telling me no one seen where that homerun landed at 5:34 ?
Pure analog hitting is the best
Challenge: don’t use pinpoint pitching for an entire game
Do a Revolution like Koogs used to
Use an all Common LINEUP with god squad bullpen
All common team build
Classic pitching
play with fisheye it's a Camra angle for hitting
Kyle do the team build of the lowest overall of your god squad
I agree that directionals hard to use. They should definitely upgrade it in MLB22 or just completely remove it from the game.
Challenge - play with oven mits on!
all common team build
I'm good at using directional I'm not too good using zone just a preference but I'm still practicing zone hitting
Use the current roster of every team except you can use the best version of those cards
Challenge Use analog on all settings hitting pitching and fielding/throwing
Challenge. Start a pitcher with zero energy or low energy and leave them in the entire game
I used to use directional in mlb 19 then switched up, don’t know how tf I used that. And it was funny cuz I was good with directional 😂
Challenge - Use the players with the most errors throughout the years at their position
all common team vs all common team against adam
