I haven't played enough to have a lot of knowledge, but do the off-speed pitches seem to break more from last year? I noticed the changeups seem to die at the plate with a decent drop-off. If the fastballs were quicker to the plate, this game would be light years ahead of last year's gameplay.
Like , actually love the movement this year. I noticed first game online yesterday input does indeed matter.. As far as pitch speeds I believe it will speed up.A little learning curve to make for input that matters would thrown potential new players away and I believe frustrate us a little as well. Trade all those things for input hands down

Just played my first RS game. I noticed the player's power numbers actually matter. Not too many down the middle pitches on perfect release...I like it.

Not sure we're playing the same game. I agree with a lot of what you said with the exception of the foul balls. I've only played about 5 games but the amount of foul balls on bad timing is still a major issue. The amount of contact on balls well out of the zone is still a major issue. And like you said, the fastball is irrevalent in this game right now.
They should take away the contact swing using O. That is how you can get a lot of Foul balls with the PCI increase.

im sorry, but isnt that like in real life? if hitters think about getting contact with 2 strikes they usually can foul off a decent amount of pitches, with 2 strikes anyway...

The game is not real life, in real life you would get called for a balk from the stretch if you do not stop. DD does not use a Balk. The AL uses a DH, this game in DD does not use DH at all etcd........

yes but it is supposed to be the most realistic game, just saying...

someone theorized this in another thread.
slower pitch speeds might be intentional to give us a chance to get used to the pci changes,then after a time put the speeds to where they are supposed to be. -

I understand that. The foul ball issue has been a problem for multiple years now in DD hopefully it is better this year. It only been 4 days.

contact swing to get a lot of foul balls sounds fine to me

Agreed. AND less balls are bouncing off Pitchers!! This, is ‘20s greatest achievement IMHO.
