    Agree the outer PCI was a mistake from the beginning and needs to go

    What does the outer PCI even represent? What is it’s purpose and how does it make sense? Would love an answer to those questions but I know we won’t get them

    Really hope they remove it this year but doubt they will.

    It’s pretty obvious it’s a crutch for players who have no plate discipline and is intended to keep lesser skilled players from striking out

    It’s done nothing but cause frustration amongst the majority of players on this forum

    Agreed

    It’s clear SDS literally has zero clue what they are doing. This may be the beginning of the end for this company, they broke a game that didn’t need fixed.

    This literally has nothing to do with the post. This bashing will never get nothing done.

    Oh you just now know how things work do you? BTW yes it had everything to do with your post. I will say what I want whenever I want.

    You sound like a toddler.

    You sound like a moron.

    Nope that’s you as well thank you for proving a point that with people like you all around the forums your childish post and constant crying will drown out any hope for things to change because of people like you.

    Yeah that’s not going to happen. It will bring change faster than your soft approach. Don’t have any clue about business I take it? Put the pressure on them and don’t let off until change is made. That advice was free, I’ll have to charge you next time.

    Your earlier statement was 100% true. Any issues gets drowned out by nonsense. But the problem is also vision needs to matter. K rates need some sort of effect on hitting with a specific player so the outer PCI serves its purpose it’s just far to extreme. Like 10 inches too far. In reality vision should be able to reach outside the zone but only a certain amount, but when you can move the entire PCI outside and have vision spread around that as well, you have a serious issue.

    I guess they could get rid of the outer PCI, but what’s the result? Some sort of a separate “strike zone PCI” for each batter based on vision? You still need to make Tony Gwynn good at what he did, and Judge not so good at the same aspect.
    The inner could be vision and contact could effect timing windows, but again you need to create the game in ways players are good and bad at certain things.

    It’s not rocket science but it isn’t as easy as “make user input matter”. They could easily make hitting 100% user based and realistic, the problem is to get to that, they need a PCI that represents something realistic, and a timing window that’s the same. So smaller than the ball and milliseconds wide. The best players would hit in the low .100s and average players would struggle to score a run.

    They need solutions but people need to be realistic about what they say and want. And this place just isn’t that realistic anymore.

    I've seen vocal streamers who are unhappy with the game basically saying the same thing. The community will say we want this! And then when they get it, they turn around and reverse course.

    And that's not to say the game is good, it's not and needs change, but people ask for stuff they actually don't know that they really don't want. It's easy to make something sound good on paper.

    Majority of players on this forum = minority of players in the game’s more than one million player base.

    Not ideal but that crutch is going to hang around for years to come as long as skilled and unskilled players are matched up.

    Also I’m fairly certain the outer/inner PCI representation was explained in some pre-release streams of the past. I can’t remember which year, probably a couple.

    Outer pci is essential just like rng otherwise some players will never win. Don't worry everybody will have a gold medal with silver and bronze ! Participation is the only goal in life ... Do never EVER try to succeed ! Mike Trout is a unicorn and he hit (with all the love of his soul) skittles with a rainbow. Be Mike Trout be a unicorn ! I'll stop there sarcasm is about to get the better of me !

    So Garza if you don't mind me asking and even if you do....why are you going back and forth in DD forum when just 3 days ago you were telling someone else on a different thread that you only play Online Ranked regs.

    Stay in your lane. If you don't play the mode you're opinion here is irrelevant

    I actually love the outer pci. In fact I turn off the two inner pcis & leave the outer one on. It helps me see the ball better without having dots, diamonds, lines all over the screen where I’m trying to see the ball. I’m obviously in the minority here but this is how I feel. I made WS multiple times using this setup.

    Apparently it’s supposed to represent the area that you’re looking at, not an actual baseball bat.

    Lol so does the outer PCI only affect DD players also does online rated have its own page? Also I suggested to try the mode didn’t tell anyone to do anything.

    Exactly. And what a stupid mechanic to introduce into a baseball game… Of course a batter is going to look at the ball. While we’re at it, let’s just get rid of the whole PCI…

    I get that people want to prove that they’re really good at moving their thumbs around, but, really? Controlling the batter’s eyes? If you’re Rube Waddell and have to struggle to not look for fire engines, then maybe, but otherwise, no.
