man i gotta say i was on the verge of rage deleting for probably the 4th time across 3 games. but i changed my thumb position and i was making really good contact with everything in the zone. thanks so much for that tip! The only thing is I have to rest my thumb so it doesn’t cramp up. 10/10
I do an infinity simple pre pitch warms your thumb up to the distance of the strike zone in all directions, secondly I slow my movement down and pause my PCI slightly on the side of the pitchers arm at release.. then read and react.. you will smack perfect perfects far more often
dude i kid you not i was watching this in the middle of a ranked game and i changed my thumb to that like 90 degree thing and i hit a 470 foot homerun first pitch lmaooo thank you so much man jesus dude non stop hrs lmao you're the best
Man I haven’t played baseball game since 2004 I bought this mlb show 23 couple days ago and man golly first of all gaming looks crazy especially baseball game I was shocked to see the graphics but I wanted to say geez man I’m terrible at hitting 4 days ago I got it yet to hit a HR they made this game extra hard my mind cannot do this type hitting at all
Wow I been doing the thumb placement lately and its been making a hugh hugh hugh difference. I find bow instead of thinking about my pci placement i can focus on the thinking about the pitches better
I haven't seen anyone else show the thumb grip. can't wait to try this out later because I can see it potentially working for me. I understand it's probs personal preference, but is your nail typically facing "3 o'clock"? I find that my thumb is typically facing "2 o'clock" naturally
After this video I have been getting home runs off of bunts FANTASTIC VIDEO he really is that guy that's gonna teach us. And he was right I was soooo stinky. But now I'm clean and smooth and I don't even require any showers anymore
Literally never comment/interact with videos but that thumb angle thing is actually gold, scored 7 runs in the bottom of the third off 4 HRs, literally couldn’t believe it
Yea but I don't want tips from the best because it always boils down to "you get better by getting better". I want tips from someone who isn't good but is learning, somebody who has a garbage ass team but learns how to make do.
Is it just me or have live series cards become useless. No one will ever play with them and the only good thing about them is the collection. Sds should probably change them maybe make them better
Yes they are all basically useless. I would even go as far as saying jeter is not worth the stubs at all because spending 1.5mil to use him and sosa is not nearly as worth it as spending those stubs on other cards
The input delay is crazy bruh. I was doing good now I can’t hit any fast balls over 100 mph. I’ve gotta switch that setting. I play on pc literally just bought a ps5 and always use a wired connection. This sucks lol
Why do you think hitting is so much harder this year than it was in 21? I’ve always played with the PCI on all-star, and I was never really a home run hitting team in 21, but I’ve played 63 games in franchise mode this year, and I’ve hit a very paltry 16 HR’s. HR hitting is now way worse for me than it was even in 21.If you’re not really sure, I understand that too. I heard that SDS did change the hitting mechanics, but I’m really having a hard time thinking they benefited people the way SDS claimed they would. Hitting is really no fun at all anymore. My run scoring is way down too. And it’s not even that my scoring and number of bombs is low, but now it’s just terrible. Couldn’t really get much worse at this point.
You basically have to hit a perfect perfect for the ball to leave the yard and especially on franchise mode because MLB ballparks are tough to hit home runs out on
Dude, nice video, great tipss, clearly put good effort into this and helping us out. Additionally though, vaguely trashing other TH-camrs for their hitting tips videos is odd and may be worth leaving out.
Made WS first ranked season, about to make it again this season (876 rating). Never been able to read the spin on the ball lol. Can’t even see the seams like you are able to in real life. Just read out of the hand the horizontal or vertical bounce of the off speed pitches is what I’ve experienced.
By reading spin this is what I meant. It’s obviously pretty hard to see the laces and stuff on a video game😂 But yea seeing the bounce out of the hand and being able to detect off speed is key
Duuuude i was in the middle of a ranked game and I changed my thumb position and I’m not even joking I cranked 4 NUKES consecutively 😭😭 keep up this content bro this shit is tuff
@@jeremeedwards596 yea people love walking me I just take them! 😅 in all seriousness if u practice on legend laying off any balls on lower difficulties becomes a whole lot easier
Hands down most complicated Nd tedious game play ever...i thought i like the game until i realized the only technique u can use to hit the baseball is hand eye coordination witch is basically gambling witch makes this whole whole sport stupid to me, only suspense no fun
Ight all jokes aside tho buddy… u showed people how to really just edit their practice gameplay… u didn’t hit many balls lmao. I can get hella strikes too. I’m fine with hitting I was on here lookin at the fastest ways to get babe Ruth.. but clicked this and u been gettin steady strikes my guy

What's your pre pitch movements if you dont mind me asking.
Been struggling at plate. Watched your vid and saw improvements first game. Thumb placement helped. Thx 👍
Always welcome

The batting view changed everything it made it so much easier to hit thank u

he really is that guy that's gonna teach us.
And he was right I was soooo stinky.
But now I'm clean and smooth and I don't even require any showers anymore
Really helped me out a lot saw instant results in my hitting
Literally never comment/interact with videos but that thumb angle thing is actually gold, scored 7 runs in the bottom of the third off 4 HRs, literally couldn’t believe it
Glad I helped you out
These tips are gonna help so much
Glad to help
Stop on playing ROOKIE & grow some Hair on ya Ballz‼️😂🤣😅😆
You leave the fastball speed up only to practice ? Or even in ranked?
I dont understand the pci, are you suppossed to meet it to the ball and swing
Ive never figured it out either still use directional with no pci and no camera shift
I subscribed solely on the fact my name is Chris and the last name of my childhood best friend who passed is Goode. The MLB tips are a bonus.
Gonna keep it a buck I just got the game today. I can barely hit the ball at all 💀it’s so annoying.
1st at bat 90 degree, ground rule double working well
Yea but I don't want tips from the best because it always boils down to "you get better by getting better". I want tips from someone who isn't good but is learning, somebody who has a garbage ass team but learns how to make do.
Do you use a high rise kontrol freek
Are you supposed to normal swing or power swing when your batting?
Normal swing always
How much pressure do you place on the thumb stick when moving the pci
Very little
This video is actually amazing
Ik it helps so much
Meremec as in MO? If so I'd love to play against you. Not a completely comp player but I and others who played me say I'm pretty good.

Thanks for the tips
Great video 👍
Always glad to help
You are a life saver from the sweats👍

Thoughts on using SZ high?
Never used it personally, but whatever u like to use and what ever works for you is good
I use a monitor but are there any specific settings I should be looking for in the settings?
If you monitor has an input latency reducing setting then turn that on, but there’s nothing else really
should turn up your mic volume, can barely hear you
Yeah I realized that after I recorded thie video😂 rookie mistake for my first video in two years. Future gameplays and everything it will be louder
@@G0ode I think I can hear you pretty well. Keep up the fire content!!
@RichImages good to know, I’ll keep it down in the future
@@G0ode ya and maybe turn down the arrogance😂 dude thinks he’s the best player in the world
@@coreybrackett9194 yeah sorry bro I totally forgot I said I was the best player in the world in this video. I didn’t mean to offend you.
The input delay is crazy bruh. I was doing good now I can’t hit any fast balls over 100 mph. I’ve gotta switch that setting. I play on pc literally just bought a ps5 and always use a wired connection. This sucks lol
As in meramac college, you mean in or around St. Louis???
In Massachusetts
Ive got a 55 inch tv, it has game mode on it, if i turn that on will that help the delay?
Yes it will help a lot
@@G0ode Ok thanks, and I'll change that other setting also you mentioned
do you know if there’s a way to fix input delay on xbox ?
If there’s a usb setting or getting a monitor
Man’s asked for 2 likes and got 1k. Great video
Get precision rings from kontrol freaks especially if your on all star. You physically cannot slam with those rings on the controller.
I don’t like em because I can control when I slam and when I don’t pretty well
I see u use a ps pro controller you got any settings
No I’ve tried a bunch of different stuff but nothing ever felt right with the stick settings
@@G0ode bet thank you

You basically have to hit a perfect perfect for the ball to leave the yard and especially on franchise mode because MLB ballparks are tough to hit home runs out on
If you have trouble pulling the ball you can set your stride to a higher kick and time the pitch with that. Tough at first but you get used to it
And also if guess pitch is on and they only have 1 fastball and the rest off speed just guess fastball every time
Do I still do the 90 degree thumb on Xbox?
Yes
I been playing on Xbox and the Kontrol freak sticks work great with the 90 degree thumb has made the game fun again as I can hit so much better now.
Goat
My dawg 🙌
Just turn on beginner mode on
It’s doesn’t work like that on diamond dynasty
Dude, nice video, great tipss, clearly put good effort into this and helping us out. Additionally though, vaguely trashing other TH-camrs for their hitting tips videos is odd and may be worth leaving out.

😁😁
This didn’t work for the switch
This is cracked wow
“You’re the goat”
Nah that’s u brotha ❕❕
How do you get to communication method on ps4 ?
Idk honestly
For me it’s my timing like my pci could be in the middle of the ball but I’m early as crap
Reducing input delay and using the legend fastball sliders with normal off speeds will help u learn to sit back
Massachusetts gang rise up ✊
Yessuh
Ayyy hell yeah

how did you get the custom practice with nolan ryan?
Scroll down on teams until u get the the expansion era boomers team
I’m gout
I use analog select and analog flick. L3 and R3. I hit ok but, humerus are hard. Am I cheating myself????
Yes button input with zone is the best possible way to hit
@@G0ode thanks. I can tell the difference. It's just a bit more realistic using bathing analog. TY
Yo thanks so fucking much for this video bro.
Welcome
i like to see my batter.
