Can someone explain what you mean by timing, no timing online. Maybe I've been playing wrong all along. When I bat I swing when it looks like my player will make contact with ball. In other words trying to time it just right with my vision. Is there some kind of indicator telling you when to swing or something... ?
You can use four ways to perform an at bat.
Timing: You press the swing button at the correct time to score a hit. You don't have to aim as the cpu will do that part for you.
Zone: you get a spot on the screen in the strike zone indicating your batter's sweet spot. You attempt to aim the sweet spot while timing your hit with the swing button.
Pure Analog: you don't have to aim the sweet spot, but you use the analog stick to perform a swing. You need to press down on the right analog stick to wind up your hitter and then forward on the stick to swing.
Zone Plus Analog: You use analog batting but must aim your sweet spot with the left analog stick.
In the following picture you can see the hitter's sweet spot. It is the yellow buckshot over the plate. A better contact hitter will have a bigger sweet spot(plate coverage indicator). You can use the Buckshot shown below, a simple yellow circle, an outline, wedge or a reticle.
