How is it even possible?

How is it even possible to use the left stick to aim for the ball, influence pop-up or grounder and swing all at the same time?? Its getting very annoying.

I mentioned this to you once before when you asked this.

The influence is before the swing. Not during. All you have to do during the swing is aim with the L stick and press x.

What KEHLIS said.

I never use the right analog except when I bunt.

Hit the right analog up for a flyball, down for a grounder BEFORE THE PITCH. Now, it also depends on the pitch you hit so it will not always be in the air or on the ground.

You use the left analog as the pitch is coming towards you to try and aim where in the zone the ball is. For a better demonstration than I can explain turn PCI on for awhile and see you it works.

Then of course you hit X to swing or "square" to power swing.

Can you do inside outside before the pitch too?

I didn't know this was before the pitch.

I am not sure but I think so.

If I want to bunt down the third base line I take the right analog and push it to the left before the pitch and it always seems to bunt the ball that side. Same result if I want to bunt to the first base side and puch right on the analog before the pitch.

Not sure what you mean by inside or outside.

THis function is to influence pulling the ball, hitting the other way, or hitting it in the air if the situation calls for it.

The common misconception with this function is that you still have to time your swings right. YOu can't attempt to pull the ball and still swing late at an outside pitch and expect to pull it.

Yes but I only use it for bunting. It gives good results.
