all star level hitting options

[dowie]

I am sticking with 0/0 for human. Thanks to a couple people on this board I've
seen that if you hardly ever swing up, but do swing down on the ball you will make great contact and drive the ball with authority.I love this slider setting. I have the cpu at 0/ 0 as well, and if you use the 6-4 camera view, meter -50 user fatigue 7, cpu fat 20, user pitch control -50 and cpu pitch control at -21 you will get hit hard, but I'm still testing. I know I have a version 5.0 out there, but a 6.0 version with some of this incorported might be coming soon! Dowie

Hey Dowie. I've never seen this approach to hitting before. Does this actually work? Swing down more than up to make better contact. Interesting. Is it possible to hit HR's using this approach? I never swing down on the ball. Always up or level to pull or hit the other way.

I think he means more level to pull or hit the other way vs. up. He doesn't mean down as in to hit grounders.

yes,people equate pressing up and to the right or left for hr's, but if you press down (slightly) and press inside slightly or outside slightly you will hit the ball with authority, and hr guys will hit hr's and non power guys will hit gap shots.Dowie

yes it works, I played with houston against the cardinals at 0/0 for me and had 10 hits. 2 2b's and 1 hr. 0/0 works if you scrap the philosophy of pointing way up and in.Dowie p.s. way more line drives to the gap at 0/0 I will not change this!
