I’m new to the game, how do you time it so well? Every time I swing it’s very early or late and every time I try to change when I swing it is still a bad timing
Watch the batters drop step on his swing. Batters have 4 different ones. It’s not going to be perfect every time but it’s what helped me when I first started playing years ago. Example is in the video at 8:50 .. Watch the timing when the batters foot drops and when he swings
What Console are you guys on? Edit: I also stream on twitch trying to grow my stream over there come over I’d Appreciate the company❤️ twitch: RedMambers
This helped massively. Tried it last night finally hitting home runs including a walk off hr. game is addictive even more so now I’m actually getting better contact
On Xbox here. Played the show on my ps3. Was playing my copy of MLB the show 16 up to even a few months ago. Still a great game itself. Bout to jump into 21 in little bit. Let you know how it goes. Great video here @redmamba
Great hitting! I'm an Xbox series X user and love this game! I am in a wheelchair (car accident when I was 17 and about to be drafted to play professional ball but that's a whole nother story.) I'm a quadriplegic and both my hands are affected so I kind of use my palms on the joysticks rather than my fingers if you can believe that! I'm not GREAT but I've been playing for many years now. I'm 50 now and still love gaming! Maybe I'll try your suggestions as far as no circles and keeping my stick higher in the zone then adjusting. I haven't played online yet but I've been practicing in a few exhibition games to get the feel of everything. I've been using strike zone 2 or 3 only because I like seeing my batter. YOU definitely know how to hit and I'll give it a shot! Thanks, Nick
DingerMamba! So I’ve always like to watch my batter when I play, but I’m going to give this a try because I can’t get my timing down. I’m all over the place with my swing. I am currently using directional hitting and I also never hit square. It’s almost always x, rarely circle. I’ll use circle for my pitchers at bat so they make basic contact. When my pitcher gets on base and my batting order restarts, it’s a win win. Thanks for this video. I’m hoping it helps my batting improve.
GREAT advice!!! Im definitely going to use this. Start with the PCI at his release point and follow the pitch. I've always had the tendency to keep the PCI in the middle and adjust from their but this makes way more sense to me. Thank you. Oh and I'm not new to The Show but my PS4 got stolen and now all I have is xbox one so i will be playing on it.
Idk what console u play, but just use the bottom button swing, I heard it's the best and make sure u hold the button when u swing, I used to have a problem w quickly tapping it and It would always check swing.. don't do that
Xbox player here been waiting for this game to come to Xbox for I don't even know how long. Haven't played the Show for probably 5 years and I can say I suck. Thanks for this tips video. Changing the camera to strike zone has definitely helped me out although I hate that I can only see part of the batter. Couple questions. 1. Can you explain why you don't use power swing? Is it better to use it on directional hitting? 2. I see there are some options for guess pitch. Do you use that at all? I'd also like to see a baserunning video if you don't have one because that's always been my issue in baseball games. Thanks again!
I have tried EVERYTHING...UNTIL I came upon your video. In just a few games, I have already improved my hitting. I still have to practice more on plate discipline. I am making more and better contact with the ball, even with foul balls. I don't think I can hit any other way now. THANK YOU!!!!
Does anyone explain what the advanced batting settings are suppose to be on. That seems pretty important yet I haven’t seen a single video explaining it.
Have to tell you that this really helped my pci location up and down. Still dropping my pci on meatballs right down the middle but overall had a better hitting day using this
First time watcher, and saw the whole video, this definitely works! My hitting has improved so much able to hit a couple homers with bad hitters. Definitely recommend!!
So every time I go into a game (I’m a as) it tells me when I’m loading in that I’m a Lf. And then when I am done loading in it immediately tells me I have been subbed a LF and I can’t bat or anything. This happened after I said I didn’t wanna play LF and then I was traded. Any tips or help?
Need help I changed my settings and I can never get the figures in the middle of the screen it always is just transparent I have it on ps5 . I wanna hit with the diamonds or the other things but they don’t appear even if I put the setting on it
Can anyone help me out, I like the way the camera follows the player when hits the ball in Moments etc, but when I play games it follows the ball, is there a way to change this??
Can you help me? Its my first time playing cause i just got it on xbox and it wont let me swing all they way, its only doing check swings and idk how to stop it
It really is, It’s the objective of baseball. But I practice fastballs and I get pretty decent but the second I throw sliders into practice I start tanking..
when every hit is a homer, that view is basically the same as cheating......that IS RIDICULOUS WHERE IS THE FUN? every hit is a double or homerun, thats the same thing as cheating by changing the view.......
2k mechanics on both ends for me still. This game mechanics sucks!!! Anything analog sucks!!! Button tappin for 5 yr olds imo. Just not real. Also when you are dependent on just two camera angles for hitting im mp then ur screwed and know the game is not for skillfull!!! Bit of a disclaimer. I was in the top ten on mlb 2k9 to mlb 2k13 online. I get busy on the sticks. This button smashing is for the birds!!! Game is a 3 out of 5.
Most of the time I use regular swings(x on PS) but if I’m down in the count and don’t want to strikeout I’ll use contact swing(circle on PS) but I never use power unless I’m just messing around.
Thanks I actually was thinking of uninstalling the game cause my hitting was horrible love the settings/tips I’m hitting a lot better
This comment gives me hope that i can get better lol

it just takes practice i was the same way when i first started too

@@eSportsTrauma but if ur watching that how u gonna see the ball
@@orion4787 You watch the ball and use your peripheral vision to watch the player.
i would say... do the moments with zone turned on, because as you keep failing and failing you eventually get better
Was looking for someone close to those 2k21 build vids and this hit the spot bro! You should do more build/setting vids!
Xbox player btw my friend.
I appreciate you for dropping this video because my timing was completely off...I’m also on Xbox❎
No problem brodee, glad to help❤️🙏

This helped massively. Tried it last night finally hitting home runs including a walk off hr. game is addictive even more so now I’m actually getting better contact
Dinger Mamba👌🏾👌🏾. And are normal or contact swings better for home runs ?
Normal forsure. Contact is just for hitting the ball, it won’t be a very hard hit but you r more likely to make contact with the ball.
@@RedMambaYT what about power swings?
On Xbox here. Played the show on my ps3. Was playing my copy of MLB the show 16 up to even a few months ago. Still a great game itself. Bout to jump into 21 in little bit. Let you know how it goes. Great video here @redmamba
What button r u hitting with? In the clips for homers? X or A or B?
Normal swing
I have a question. How do you make it so you have that cursor when you hit and it's like yellow or he had it red
In settings you go to Batting & Baserunning and scroll all the way down and go to PCI Color and change it to whatever you want it to be
bro i started putting the pci at the pitchers release point and it helps so much

Do you tend to use power swing, contact swing, or normal swing more often.
what’s your suggestion on getting your pci to the right spot
Bro your tip about removing the center clutter helped so much. Cleared up the plate. Thank you
Do you do power swings or normal swings

How do I change my batting thing mine is like arrows and I either go up down side or side how do I make it those parentheses things
Dropped a bomb on BR with Soriano first at bat after this lol great video I think it’s gonna help a lot

You need to switch from analog to zone
@@karl343 thank you !!! Is it in the batting settings ???
@@eddieruizcr7 Yes, you're either on directional or analog settings. Just change to zone.

Do you use power swing
Feel like this goin get hella views 😂
lets see...this is my first MLB video lets see how the community is

Good stuff!!
Can anyone help me out, I like the way the camera follows the player when hits the ball in Moments etc, but when I play games it follows the ball, is there a way to change this??
Yeah In gameplay settings go to fielding and go to In play view defense. Idk what camera your looking for but that’s where it’ll be.
I’m batting 140 lol hahaha first time playing the show I’m ass, I think cause I’m not patient and can’t read pitches
on xbox idk what buttons you were talking about, are you doing contact power or normal swings
I believe on Xbox. X = power hit, A = normal hit, B = contact hit.
@@RedMambaYT do you actually use power swing or contact swing?
90% of the time I use normal. Sometimes when I have two strikes on me I’ll do a contact swing. I never use power.
@@RedMambaYT ok 👍
@@Max-wd6og normal swing works best in my opinion
That helped allot thanks you earned a sub
Having no inner pci actually might help me because I Focus too much on trying to get good pci placement which usually leads to me missing the pitch.
Can you help me? Its my first time playing cause i just got it on xbox and it wont let me swing all they way, its only doing check swings and idk how to stop it
You have to hold the swing button. Pressing it will cause a check swing. Hopefully that’ll help you guys❤️

Thank you bro!

How do you know went to swing? I keep getting very lates or very early. Can’t find a video for that.
Legit so fucking hard

what’s a lot better hitting it with the power or the normal one?
Normal
Wow this video helped a lot. What a difference thank you! ⚾️
im on xbox and i been doin only doin power swings idek there were other swings
used this got the pci on it just cant get the timing down
Very good tips, I went 5 for 5 my next game using this .
Been playin on Xbox since release and been getting pissed. Hopefully this helps and makes my team even better
How do I stop swinging at everything even when its at my head
Don't press a/x
don’t swing

Been waiting for this to get on Xbox for decades
Never really comment on videos but damn this is the one. Tracking from release point got me hitting NUKES. Good looks!

I'm playing franchise and the cpu is controlling all the pitching. Same when I'm up to bat the cpu is controlling my batter...what am I doing wrong
What’s a good batter stance ?
Uhhh that’s really subjective to what you like. I like Joey Gallo, Charlie Blackman or yasmani grandal

What hitting difficulty should I use?

does pci even help for hitting?
yes
how come my pci doesnt shoew i have a empty zone ?
Jesus..it works!! Thanks!!
Nvm I suck again:(

How the hell did you know where every pitch was. Your pci was in the pitch area before it was even pitched
Just practice I guess. I wait for a high fast ball and adjust for off speed.
Here on the Xbox gamepass and been barely getting singles 😂
Watching this video and I just played you and you beat me 3-2 so don’t feel bad haha
Lmaoo good game brodee. I was editing today’s video while we were playing it was a close game❤️
Yea no I’m fs copping the game and using ur settings we finna bloowwwwww this year !!
