    Looks like the strike zone box that shows before the pitch will get smaller. So sounds like the same pitch locations will be balls and strikes.

    Believe it when I see it. These guys don't have a great track record of implementing what they say that will. PCI shrinkage anyone? Lol

    There’s information on that also from the developer in the update and about cheaters and exploiters

    @SpecialFrosty_PSN are they also gotta make the plate right size. It’s wider in the game than it is in real life. Basically gonna make the game even more insufferable now with this. More and more spamming certain pitches.

    If true, completely changes the gameplay - id like to see it, and give people ABS challenges (box must disappear though)

    What are they going to break with this? Also, how about you deal with the rampant cheating and the market bots?

    @go4stros25_PSN I hope the shrink the box if this is true. The box in the game is already wider than actual one in real life. Now it’s just gonna promote spamming the same couple of pitches.

    @ApolloZ_99_MLBTS the pci doesnt travel far enough to hit a ball if its low and away and barely touching the edge of the zone. Strikeouts and foulballs are about to go way up.

    @ApolloZ_99_MLBTS They have already said the box will be smaller. It’s just a visual change.

    @go4stros25_PSN I agree that strikeouts and/or foul balls will go up (probably not both, depending on the game), though I’m pretty sure the actual dimensions of the zone aren’t changing, so unless the ‘visual’ change ends up affecting how we can move our PCIs I don’t see this being an issue

    It’s true. Played a MS game this morning and if the pitches touches the box, it’s a strike.

    They admitted, defended, and then explained why they didn't actually remove PCI shrinkage in 1 sentence. I just wanna say this is walking a thin line to them being sued for false advertising and statements made by gameplay employees.

    I’m a fan of the strike zone change, but it will take some getting used to.

    Is the strike zone change actually removing those weird case of online pitches being blatantly called incorrectly?

    Offline at least was typically consistent with the halfway on the black method, with only slightly off center pitches being called inconsistently on occasion. But online saw some angel hernandez nonsense.

    The pitch in edited link is a strike, we wanted true strike zone and we got it, if it touches the zone it is a strike
