The PCI is way too small on HOF
-
The funny thing is that the area of contact (the yellow buckshot in the feedback) is similar to last year, it's just the PCI itself that shrunk. That's a psychological thing, the fact that it's smaller implies that you have a smaller area to make solid contact. But that's not the case, it's purely visual. So that's interesting and there are a few ways to work around it. One would be to only use circles or diamonds and fade out the inner and outer PCI. Another option would be to fade out the center and inner PCI so that you only see the outer PCI. You mentioned correctly before that this affects the ability to foul off pitches and is coherent with the vision attribute and the pitcher's K/9 attribute. So this option would make it harder to square up the ball in the middle, but it does counter that psychological aspect and give you confidence simply because the PCI covers a significant larger area of the plate.

PCI size is perfect imo. If anything AS needs to be a touch smaller.

I honestly hope they don’t change the PCI size
I just fear that if they do that, it may totally screw up hitting that actually feels great when you piece up pitches.
Not gonna be that guy that says practice or get good, but, I’m a huge advocate of taking BP on legend before hopping into RS
I've started doing friendlies on legend to get the same effect.

I don’t get bothered by the PCI. I turn it off entirely
-
It seems on hall of fame there is also very little difference between 102 mph and 95mph

Why you trying to make the game harder for my old [censored]? Lol

People saying “it’s a you issue”, it’s just a lazy take to have and you’re just worried they’ll mess something else up. In reality I’m a decent enough player who usually is in the CS area and I can recognize when the game simply plays poorly

@yankblan_psn said in The PCI is way too small on HOF:
I remember them saying on a stream last year inner is a combo of contact and vision, outer vision only.
This is incorrect, either they were wrong or misspoke. Vision is outer, Contact is inner.

Yep found the stream; vision/contact combo was 19 and prior (old PCI) and contact inner, vision outer since last year (new PCI). Since Nick Livingston referenced both in the same sentence, my memory was foggy. Sorry for the confusion.
They weren’t wrong and didn’t misspeak, so you were wrong too!

It is a tick small. Especially if the speeds are faster. I can’t really tell because maybe the pci just makes it feels faster.
But we all deal with the same pci.
Yeah but it’s either a slugfest on AS or a pitchers dual on HOF, no in between. No reason 120 contact needs to be as tiny as a pitcher batting on AS when no good pitchers are even in the game yet
Agreed, it seems too extreme both ways and they can never find a happy medium. I hate playing on HOF, just not fun!
-
Personally the pci is fine imo on hof but tough when you run into someone who uses pinpoint pitching with great control. I was on a nice streak and seeing the ball well but ran into someone who almost never missed hitting the outside perfectly with a cutter.

@kdclemson_psn said in The PCI is way too small on HOF:
I have a CAP with 119 contact and 99 Jackie with 121 contact and they both have a minuscule PCI on HOF, comparable to that of a pitcher hitting on All-Star against LS Max Scherzer.
This is especially concerning, seeing as it is an endgame hitter versus an early-game pitcher. If it's this small right now, imagine how small it will be once cards with 120 h/9 and k/9 start dropping, ridiculous.
There's no reason 120 contact should look this small against a LS pitcher on HOF. The PCI sizes on HOF seem more suitable for legend. The probably is AS is huge and HOF is so small, and there's no in between.
HOF PCI needs to be bigger.
I like the increased pitch speed and small pci. Maybe if cutters need sinkers weren’t wiffle ball pitches......
Try contact swinging. It normalizes the pci size. Seems to help find gaps and the ball can even still leave the park with a contact swing.

Is that what these guys are doing? I’ve seen way more painted pitches this year. Not a fan of it. It’s annoying af.
These dbags also have found a way to almost never strike out while taking garbage bad timing swings with poorly placed pci on pitches two feet out of the zone.
Not exactly sure how they do it, but it is really a shame the game allows it.

Literally the type of game I'm talking about. I know the pci feedback after the pitch is supposedly off but so many times even his outer pci was off and fouling off everything for 10+ pitch at bats and then would homer lol
But yeah pinpoint pitching if you can do it is apparently way more consistent and accurate.

To be fair, the PCI feedback is not accurate; you can see how the guy swings and how hard the ball is hit, and the feedback says the opposite

Regardless of the pci feedback you can tell they are are way off of it and the timing is typically accurate. The balls are bouncing in front of the plate or almost hitting them and they foul it off.

Yeah, you can tell when they lunge at a pitch 3 ft outside and barely tip it foul. I know the exact type of player you're talking about. It's frustrating.

It is funny that all the mistimed swings go foul but as soon as they line one up it’s laced for a bomb or gapped. It’s garbage....I played a game of RS on HOF and the guy I played struck out 25 times playing with normal players. He probably wasn’t very experienced, but I’d rather see that than ten million foul balls when people aren’t swinging well.

HoF PCIs honestly don't feel too different than they were in 20. The game plays pretty well to me, was able to go 16-0 before getting my first L.

Lmao the game doesn’t play poorly
You must be upset after a few losses, I get it. But pci size on HOF is fine, you just need to practice more my friend
Put up 14 in 5 innings off the 96 Tom Glavine on HOF, it’s not impossible to hit
