[@phylaxagaming5743]

My guy let me tell you somethin. I watched the first like 4 tips and listened to the rest while testing it out, 5 homeruns back to back almost immediately! I have never commented on a video but I am in a bit of disbelief at how much this helped my game. Thank you!

[@pauljones2279]

It's dope knowing Andrew Santino gives tips on being patient

[@tylermcgrath6509]

Im happy you mentioned thumb placement. I play a 1000 different mind games thinking my thumb needs to be on a certain part of the joystick for different scenarios, or batters or if im pressing it too hard or lightly when its really as simple as relaxing i have noticed to be more relaxed when talking throughout the game instead of being silent and i tend to overreact the PCI

[@vincentgarcia5912]

Just like to say, I have been hitting atrociously this year, and this video has change my whole outlook on the game. Thank you. I have been having way more quality at bats and I’m going to watch this exact video every time I turn on the game. Thank you.

[@user-yy6hb6wo5e]

Had hardest time getting through the Paul Skenes Showdown but after watching this vid & using the advice, I rolled through all 3 so damn easy. HELPED A TON.

[@Noneyabizness0719]

Tyler, you’ve done tutorials in the past but this one was the best. Thank you so much and good luck this year buddy! Love your videos

[@nickolasguinn1827]

This was extremely helpful i gave up the game last year becaus i got so frustrated but i wanted to try again this year and these tips really made me better, i used to hit nothing but now im getting a hit with almost every time im at bat. Thanks man.

[@jacobyjones6457]

Do a base running tutorial

[@TheMusicolophile]

Here’s a good tip. Never steal until you have one strike. Lead off with left bumper. When the pitcher looks at first base, stop the game with Right trigger, holding it down. While the game is still stopped, lead off one more time with left trigger. Unpause by releasing right trigger. You’ll get a good steal 75% of the time.

[@theleastbannedman]

@@TheMusicolophiletrigger or bumper?

[@TheMusicolophile]

@@theleastbannedman Yes. Every controller has two triggers and two bumpers. Both right and left. It’s why they’re called LT, RT, LB, RB.

[@anthonybucyk6513]

Hey man, I usually don't go for these kinds of videos, but I found myself really struggling to hit with the PCI. I'm not a veteran of the series. Your tips were really helpful. Specifically, the tip that helped the most was watching the pitcher's cap. It sounded silly as hell at first but I tried it and you really do LOCK ON to the ball as soon as it comes out of the hand. I've actually been getting more 3-2 counts and walks just because I'm picking it up earlier. I did notice all my swings are early now, but that's probably cause I'm recognizing the pitch earlier. I also liked your description of the PCI anchors and, even though it's not your thing, I find anchoring up and in is really helpful for me. Thanks, and subbed.

[@bostons_departed3631]

As far as timing goes, I don’t really touch the thumb sticks. I use similar movements to my real stance. Twitch my hands, so my right hand twitches the controller like it does the bat, I bat lefty so right hand. And a nice tempo right foot toe tap. Right when the windup starts I “set” (pull the controller in) and stay still.

[@dazed1nyc]

It's funny I stare at the hat too, never heard anyone else mention that lol. As a former player I learned to hit by literally standing up and getting in a basic stance and instead of swinging I would hit the button on the controller lol. I know that's a little OD but that's the only thing I could think of a few yrs ago haha. I found it helped a lot with adjusting to off speed pitches in particular.

[@KenmoreMarine]

“Staring a hat” is quite popular phrase in Korea The show community.

[@advizz0rry]

Absolutely great tips different than other ones I've seen appreciate it

[@isaiahking5296]

The thumb placement and looking at the hat helped a lot. Thanks man💯

[@xburk550]

I've been trying out your tips for a few weeks now. I can't believe how much you've helped me. I was seriously thinking of giving up on the game. Thank you.

[@TheDiceman56]

Thank you so much for this gem of a video. I am from the UK where we do not understand the baseball terms fully. I love baseball, but I fell 'foul' (pun intended), of swinging at everything. Your advice to put controller down does train your thoughts to 'wait' for the best pitch. Thank you.

[@iluvdogs420]

These tips helped me the most! Especially the timing, THANK YOU so much

[@TDot_SSB]

I find that when I try to aim down, I always go way too far without realizing it, so sometimes I set my PCI higher up to help adjust for it.

[@mysunsburneraccount2076]

Good vid man 😊 can't wait for midnight mon

[@tylersclark]

Hugely helpful. Thanks!

[@palmer1461]

my tip for pci placement is practice with no center dot because usually anything in the wedge is good contact if you time it like you said

[@dominique.gonzalez622]

It's so hard batting In this game jesus christ. Pitching I'm okay with but batting is just hard.

[@Hcclhccl]

The fact this boul is under 100k is baffling the quality of content is unreal. By far the best hitting tutorial I’ve seen thank you

[@Farmer1Red]

Absolute banger brother!

[@ItsPlayful]

Love you pop

[@zachzervas9525]

“Dad in the recliner”. Got me

[@ApleyDolezal]

This is 100% why I always open packs as soon as I get them. It's much easier to swallow never getting good pulls 1 at a time.

[@Z2U-MLB]

First week of this game being out they felt juiced up. I pulled quite a few diamonds in one day. Last few days my packs from conquest have been completely shite

[@CalaycayViloria]

I keep getting notifications all my friends getting diamonds from jellybean packs..I've opened over 50 and none for me lol

[@TaddioTapija]

@@CalaycayViloria if you have opened over 50 and not even any jelly beans then you have by far the worst luck

[@WyrosdickDilly]

same dude finished the nation conquest almost and no diamonds ,

[@gnosis_pr37]

The PCI anchor thing what I do is with lefties I keep it right down the middle but when It's rightie- rightie I put it in the inside part of the zone

[@Dafuq12]

thank you so much ❤

[@shnapple7244]

thanks for all the tips i could barely fit them in

[@army5300able]

Hi! From where did you buy the soft grip? Thanks

[@anthonycabadas8524]

Appreciate you fam!

[@mobsterlnc3583]

Is pci best or can I leave it at timing? I can’t help but over react on swing location

[@TerryBollea1]

I would like to see another video....how do you play against the CPU when it reads EVERY input you make????!!!????

[@jessicaceranski2199]

as you were talking bout the timing i was hting lefty lefty against randy and went opo on his fastball

[@RyanEatsLemonade]

These tips work, especially the stick placement and pci positioning.

[@aimeelazz]

Question how do I put for the strike and balls pitches to stay on my screen as they are on yours?

[@Mr.SportsGuy]

What size monitor? Ur awesome! Thanks man!

[@jaylush9203]

Bro, I’ve never played this bad in my life. 8 game losing streak just broke it today good video mate.

[@SupaSaiyanFJ]

So I’ve been struggling with the new settings. I have guess pitch set to classic. But when I guess the pitch it shows exactly where the pitch will hit but my pci gets locked in place, so I can’t move it to get under or above the pitch. I have tried all the setting like classic, no response, etc. this is driving me crazy. Any idea how to put it to where I can move my pci after guessing pitch?

[@gnosis_pr37]

Something I do it's imagine that the PCI is invisible so I don't have to focus on it, and then move it to the ball

[@Blaine_Go]

lol that nose drop @ 5:56

[@dms14]

Great tips! I absolutely SUCK at hitting and want to master zone hitting...which batting interface is that?

[@codycantrell5216]

Just go to settings and change your PCI indicator to the bat like he has

[@500degreeeeees]

My game doesnt show the yellow bat outline like yours? Is it just a setting to change?

[@HoldMyYouth06]

Is there certain times to use the different types of swings? Like power swing, contact, and normal. Or do you just always use one, if so which one

[@derpderpy818]

95% of the time I use only normal, never power shrinks pci too much and contact in 2 strike counts sometimes

[@zechprime7114]

I’m so impatient brother ☝️😬 Please tell me how to get that barrel in the zone display my guy!

[@cameronwelker9325]

Does the bat pci actually help? (genuinely curious)

[@ilovesoccerandmetal]

I'm currently playing it through Game Pass on PC and its good for casual. But not competitive. I'm late on almost every pitch because of input lag. I have to identify the pitch even quicker because of it and swing way before the ball even gets to the plate. Playing on anything more than veteran on this kind of input lag is INSANE for me. I rarely get perfect timing because of this also.

[@whatarutsch]

I always put my controller down when I find myself swinging out of habit and not actually wanting to 😂

[@user-db3xc6rk6o]

Thanks man 🫡

[@johngorski3733]

How do I stop lining out and hitting balls into the air? I’m new to baseball but all my hits look like they are floating in the air and are super easy for defend

[@DutchVanDerLinde463]

Thanks Papa!!

These tips are great if your in mlb 21,22,23. But in mlb 24 you cannot get the same strike zone!

[@luiswill44]

😂😂😂😂 great video

[@user-mu8zo4dh9u]

Ya these would work if the speed online was the same as playing against cpu.

[@Tmalbers21]

👍 good stuff

[@bostons_departed3631]

That depends on the car. I have a 5000 pound Explorer Sport… I’d rather not. But if I had a Civic… maybe? 😂

What if your vision isn't that good and you still like to play RTTS games?

[@TerryBollea1]

Dont do this!!!!!! Then goes ahead and does it the next clip. Pure class me son.

[@EarthPoweredHippie]

Timing isn't my issue, it's recognizing the pitch and tracking where it's going

[@stephs5530]

I'm still playing 23. Can someone please tell me if they fixed the check swinging in the new game? Honestly I'm ready to stop playing this game due to the check swing problems

They have an aftermarket thing called control freaks, its basically an inner tube for your joysticks and they can stop you from pushing the sticks as fast or as far. :)

It is VERY much worth it to guess!!! If you guess right, you get an insta hit or ball. If you guess wrong, now youve taken away an entire HALF of the strike zone to look at!! What the hell are ya on about me son???!!?? Dont guess.

[@steelesteele4980]

Well it’s obvious you suck at the game.

[@nathannelson4464]

Disagree so much on the pcie vs timing thing. All your hits are either pop us or grounders if it is set right

Dont slam your pci from a dead standstill.....then goes ahead and does it for a dinger. Thisguy just wants yall to suck so he can beat you.

The yellow thing that you can control or the bat in his case

FUCK THIS GAME

[@theallaroundnerd9889]

I don't understand any of thos lmao

[@theallaroundnerd9889]

Probably because I don't use PCI. I have really skiddish thumbs so using the zone choice doesn't help me, I'll miss everything lol
