NEW STRIKE ZONE TOMORROW
-
@TheJeweledLotus_PSN Before today it was so unbalanced, hitting was everything. I don't care if it's swung a bit towards pitchers now.
-
Its not really same as real life - its now a completely perfect zone, where the umps never make mistakes. That's very unlike real life.
-
I will say new zone is growing on me a bit just had to change my approach.
-
I'm getting called out on pitches that are clearly not strikes now. I have ABS off. Are they forcing players to use that now?
What have they done? This is crazy. Here is the first occurrence. It happened 4 more times, including twice in one AB.

I also have never had the 'lineup freeze' until today. -
@TheGoaler_PSN bro do you not watch ball that’s a strike
-
The strike zone got a lot bigger… I think it’s going to favor pitchers immensely and force batters to swing at far more pitches. I can’t imagine how difficult this is for big league hitters. If the seams of the ball touch the zone, like just over the low outside corner, it’s a strike… on a virtually unhittable pitch. I think it’s going to be catastrophic for this game.

But online saw some angel hernandez nonsense.
-
@a761506_MLBTS the strike zone did not get bigger. they shrank the box.
-
smaller zone, now balls that barely touch anywhere in zone are strikes, before they were balls. it's the same, just represented differently.
-
@eatyum_PSN this game shouldn’t reflect real life in this aspect. This game should always lean a little more toward the hitter than the pitcher.
-
I would like it more if it was real abs have the box disappear after the pitch is thrown and give the option for a challenge. Only get 2 like abs u right u keep them I think it would be way more fun.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN it would! they’d rather keep trying to gaslight us into thinking the umps are actually perfect tho
-
I had some homeruns today that just felt so weird on pitches outside the zone. Like Santander turned on a sweeper that was a touch inside perfect perfect and it flew it’s just weird being rewarded for swinging outside the box. Even tho yes I get it was just a visual change I know somebody is gonna say the game still plays the same it just looks different it still feels weird tho hitting what we used to know as balls for homeruns.

The box sure doesn’t look a full baseball width narrower and shorter.
-
@a761506_MLBTS we disagree there - I was pretty shocked by how small it looked when I first played today
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN I mean hey, good swings, right? It’s not like you did that with a pitch in the dirt or anything (guessing it almost clipped the zone)
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN it’s just skinnier. I just struck out on sinkers at the top corner that literally barely touch. It affects us more than just visually. It’s almost impossible to hit certain pitches at this time.
-
About as close as I’ve seen. yesterday, this would’ve been an 50/50 call and would be fine with either call. I will say this new zone does seem to be helping me with waiting for better pitches early in the count.
-
@a761506_MLBTS same , especially with 100+ control pitcher when they start rolling out
-

Ahem(cough cough) they umm have a pill for that
