3 inning games are good for tuning up for ranked. Especially when the event is hall of fame. Want to have more consistent rng? Introduce a game mode that’s more competitive where you have to have the ball inside the pci for a hit.
Hit the ball inside for a hit? What do you think this is? MLB the show 16?

I think how they have it is fine. If you don't want to play 3 inning games you never have to. If you don't mind any to play 9 inning games you never have to.
The only fix I can think of which won't happen because it's too much to throw in right now would be to have the option of playing 9 inning BR games with a shortened reward path and the other way around. The option to play 3 inning ranked games with a longer reward path. -

Not too long ago the ball had to be inside the PCI. Then all of a sudden the PCI was no longer the barrel or bat.
The PCI became an afterthought.

Keep BR as 3 inning and make Events 6 innings WITHOUT Quick Counts.

The answer was in your post. Get rid of the high amount of RNG and randomness and the game becomes instantly better regardless of how many innings you play during a game.
They refuse to do it every year despite the talk about it….EVERY YEAR. They cater to casuals because that’s the largest player base. The RNG and randomness is there to make the game more forgiving and user friendly.

I just wish there: were different leagues. I'm still really new but from people talk about, WS didn't always have the 30 wins thing, so HOFers wouldn't tank and play against All stars. For BR and events, the 3 innings seems the level that just a bit but I still think if they had different levels that you could sign up for. If you win WS on All Star, you get the reward but it's non sellable or something. I don't know, something like that.
I get what OP is saying about 3 innings and RNG messing it up. Personally I'm not so good so I love the 3 inning format. But I can understand why it would be frustrating for better players, especially with a high level of RNG.

The devs started saying that after we all learned to hit with the ball inside of the wedge PCI. They also said there is no RNG.
Why does the original wedge PCI mimic the shape of a bat?

They will refuse to believe it no matter how many times they were told that it wasn’t the barrel of a bat. You would think common sense would take over when you look at the PCI and it looks nothing like a bat I’ve ever seen used in MLB.

Which makes no sense to me. Why aim with something (that doesn’t represent a baseball bat) to hit a baseball while playing a baseball game? PCI should represent the bat and hits are determined on where you hit the ball. Why they won’t/can’t do that is puzzling. They’d rather give us a RNG festival.
If players had something to reference and understood why a hit resulted in X outcome, I’m confident in saying we wouldn’t have this debate year after year.

Ranked 9 innings
BR 3 innings
Events 6 inning quick countsThis is how it should be at all times

I believe the devs said it. I just don't believe them. I've heard them say lots of things over the years.
As far as the bat and wedge PCI go I personally think it resembles the shape of a bat. I'm sure many others do also.
The "PCI isn't the bat" talk only started when you could change from wedge. Starfighter and Reverb are ridiculous.

How can it resemble a bat when the size changes from one batter to another? So is one batter using a twig and the next using a tree trunk? Also,
I don’t remember any bats looking like that.As a reminder where they said it around the 21:40 mark:

If it’s not a bat why is it only in game when the batter has a bat in his hands? Why do you aim the “not a bat” directly where the ball is going and try to swing the “not a bat” at the ball as it crosses the plate? If it’s “not a bat” how come when I don’t press the swing bat button my “not a bat” doesn’t swing and and when I hit swing bat the “not a bat” does swing? Sure seems a lot like a bat to me. I’m fact, if I were trying to represent a bat in a baseball game, I’d get the player to aim it at the ball and swing it when it comes across.
If they thought the community was this dumb they should have just told us those pitches hanging dead centre all last year on perfect releases weren’t actually pitches, just a representation of what pitches look like. Those errors aren’t errors, the fielders aren’t fielders, just representations, the scores isn’t a score, just what could happen if a bunch of not a outfielders where holding representations of gloves trying to flag down representations of hits from representations of swings from not bats that hit not balls during not at bats.
It’s a dumb excuse from B grade Devs that can’t hide RNG.

Serious question. If it’s a bat, explain why they are different sizes for different players? I don’t remember seeing Tony Gwynn’s bat being that big compared to Joey Gallo’s. Wouldn’t they all be the same size?

I see it as them thinking people have short attention spans, and baseball is boring to a lot of people.
3 innings makes it unconventional, but quick. NHL has 3's and now 1's(which I can't stand), but some like dumbed down. SDS and other companies know this. -

That’s what we want to know too. Why not have a universal PCI that represents the bat and hits are affected by where you hit it and attributes. Size would differ in correspondence with the difficulty your on.

How am I able to move my "bat" around the strike zone when my actual bat is securely on my shoulders waiting for the pitch? If the PCI is a bat it should start above my shoulders like an actual bat. Or if the placement of my PCi in the strike zone is my bat, my bat should be in bunt mode covering the plate at all times.
Now, I'm not saying that's how it should be. Personally, I don't get why people complain so much, I very rarely have a problem with PCI placement not getting results. I'm always far away from the ball online and always hit poorly. It's quite consistent.

And why should the size change by that logic? Bats don’t get smaller from A ball to MLB. If it’s a bat, it’s a bat. The same exact size for every single batter that’s not some odd oval shape.
