What needs to happen...

[Misfits_138_1_PSN]

...but never will for '24.

1. In lieu of a hitting interface overhaul, ELIMINATE the outer pci. In 7 years, no one has been able to explain what this is.
   PCI size should be determined by a combo of contact and vision attributes.
   Outside the PCI?
   Sorry. Swing and a miss.
2. For the love of Jeff, get fielding under control. If you've ever played or watched a baseball game, no one this side of Ozzie Smith dives 6 ft., fields the ball clean, bounces up and throws a tracer to 1st.
   Once? OK. ESPN top 10 play.
   5 times a game? Sorry.
3. My pet peeve every year. You can't foul off a pitch that bounces. Reign in contact swing.
   Don't triple the size of the PCI to make the game easier.
   If you use contact swing in anything but an 0-2, 1-2 count, you are a little girl who should be playing The Show: NCAA Softball '23.
4. Seasons-- great idea!
   But have a Wild Card for position players AND one for SP's and the bullpen.

These suggestions will not be implemented or even considered.
When you're the only "Show" in town with no competition, there is little reason to improve your game.
Copy and paste, and you have '24.

Did I miss anything/everything?

I give you an A++. I have complained about everything you listed to SDS’ deaf ears.

Yea, top spin for hard liners, much needed.

#4 no it was not a good idea. I can agree with everything else

[PAinPA_PSN]

#4 I ll concede interesting idea. while it may have looked good on the drawing board,it should have stayed there.

[datnickdogg351_PSN]

fix the darn pitching wall.. not every pitcher is a gold glover have web gem after web gem with fast hard come backers. Fall away from the mound to backhand and feildING a hard it grounder or line drive up the middle is ridiculous.. . also fielding between the pitchers legs needs to be nerfed as well.. been long over due..

1. won't happen because it's how it used to be and I'd be surprised if they go back. They started the inner/outer PCI in 20. The idea was good (inner hitting, outer contact), the implementation however, was not.

The idea was that players that strike out a lot but have good plate discipline, awareness could battle fouling off pitches. In the old system, the size of the PCI would be too small for some of these players, so they made it two different things. Again, good idea, bad results.
