Any tips on getting better with pinpoint? Is timing more important or following the motions?

It's a timed motion
Just pay attention to the speed of the preview. That's how you know the timing
Normally, pinpoint is more forgiving than others. This time, it's a bit different than before
They added new shades and southpaw pinpoints
The sinker shade is really awkward. Pinpoint for southpaw surely feels so weird. I am so used with 180 degree/360 degree rotations in counterclockwise. Doing those rotations in clockwise drove me a bit crazy last night
For now, I am using pure for pitching until a new patch file

Glad to know I’m not the only one. Muscle memory has been hard to break. I’m getting tagged.

Wasn't even sure I was gonna play this year. Ended up with 36 hours in like 2 days
. I've finished all of the offline content but I'm waiting for them to fix the problem with pinpoint out of the stretch before I jump online. I'll screenshot my team the next time I'm on.i must say this game has surprised me
i didnt watch no early twitch vids this season but it honestly seems like it is not too grindy at all after playing a few days
im just about completed with TA and i feel like i barely put in work - all i played was BR and some events + 3 co-op games
they made it to where they allow us to play the game how we want and still progress through a lot of things

I picked up some Kontrol Freek rings so I can stop straight up guessing the pitch location before the ball is thrown.
I put a soft ring on and jumped into batting practice, I'm not swinging straight into the dirt anymore but even with the soft ring my bat location is around the center of the zone. Do the rings "break in" a bit for a little more give?

It does break in over time
I use the purple as well atm
I use Strike Zone 2 - i am able to just about touch every corner without going over or below the zone
I will say be careful taking the ring off and on deff will rip over time if not cautious

best hitting advice i can give you
frink85
is think of it as if you are having a catch with the pitcher
i personally start my PCI up and in depending on the pitcher - Ex: so if pitcher is a righty and batter is a righty, i start my PCI top left and adjust with the pitch
my eyes are always focused on the RELEASE POINT of of the pitcher hand. Dont keep eyes on your PCI
ALOT of people are to obvious with pitch sequences as well
if you come across sinkers/cutter/sliders just expect sinkers in to batters and slider/cutters away - very rarely will you vs someone who tries to backdoor a slider unless you move up in ranks

I got smacked by a guy in the first BR game. Allowed 16 runs. Humiliated. I was like damn I’m really hitting the decline, huh? I considered focusing on RTTS/franchise/co-op with friends only. I wasn’t sure if my pitches were easily hittable or the guy must be really good. He didn’t chase the ball. Hit perfect nukes many times
Played ranked after the bad loss. Lost first game then won three straight games. I got lucky wins. I wasn’t satisfied because PCI size was so big. So it was on the either rookie or veteran difficulty level
Decided to play one more game before bedtime. I was down 1-5. I told myself to just finish the game. That comeback win gave me a great sleep!

509Ft bomb with adley lol furthest so far

Good to know. So far I’m adjusting to using it and I can tell I’m actually getting to the pitch over sitting middle low on everything lol.

I’ve been taking it off when fielding sometimes because I've found that I’m not running fast enough so I’m worrying about durability. It could just be me but I’m having outfielders missing fly balls lol maybe I just need to adjust to pushing the stick in harder.
I start my PCI up too it’s easier to slam the stick down lol.
I’m definitely guilty of staring at the ball. I know MLB hitters watch release point and ball spin but I don’t have the reflexes for that haha. And I definitely get fooled on breaking balls after watching heaters, a lot of trying to protect against 95+ causing me to hurry up.
I’m not playing online so pitch recognition sequence should be more predictable.
Thanks for all the tips bruh, NGL there have been times in the past where I was like “eff this let me go to timing” lol. I’ll keep all this in mind when I start it up tonight you the real MVP.
I promise you weren't the only one to miss pop ups/not running full sprint with it still on for first few daysI also use the tall/high kontrol freek that goes on the left analog stick and small/short one for pitching it helps a good bit with moving it around those extra centimeters
It will take sometime to adjust to but once you figure the sweet spot out youll never take it off unless you plan to play other games

Dont know why i do it to myself every year im so sick of it
5-0 in ranked and currently in a 16 hour Yes a 16 ******* hour freeze off with someone who is 6-8
The game froze at the record screen where you hold A to skip
This **** is so ******* frustrating - if i already had an L id quit but im sorry my first L aint coming from a freeze off
Been happening since 17 lol
Dont even get me started with the 2-way glitch being back as well
These ******* companies go BACKWARDS
How the **** do you fix the code last year but this year the SAME glitch is back. SERIOUSLY DO THEY EVEN ****IBG TEST GAMES BEFIRE RELEASE ANYMORE?
