The New Strike Zone Is A Disaster That Needs To Be Immediately Fixed!
-
This new strike zone is a huge miscalculation. In playing games in Ranked online and Mini-Seasons offline, balls that didn't even touch the strike zone were being called strikes repeatedly
#confidentlywrong.
There's nothing wrong with it...this is how it should have been all along. Also, those aren't balls. If you bothered to read the patch notes you'll see they basically said they've implemented the ABS logic, while making the outline of the strike zone thinner. Anything touching the zone even barely by a hair, is accurately called a strike.
I've yet to see anything off the plate called a strike.
Coop last night was great as we were able to pitch ourselves to be competitive.
100% agree. We struck out looking more...but also it changed out hitting mindset, we need to actually protect the plate now. We're ok with that because it's finally consistent.
Now if only they could fix the check swings, it would be awesome

You people are not playing the same game I am. This game has ALWAYS rewarded painting the black. But now it is calling strikes that are not remotely touching the strike zone. If I can see air between where the ball is marked and the strike zone line, that is not a strike, I don’t care how they’re “interpreting” things. It’s not working as intended. Period.

@macdaddy-o_PSN send screenshots if you can cause obviously if it doesn’t touch the zone at all it shouldn’t be a strike
-
@macdaddy-o_PSN I’d love to see screenshots of this, strike zone is perfect for me

You are high af. Go sleep it off bro.

No it hasn’t. You obviously haven’t played online recently.
Screenshots, otherwise you’re full of it.

@rms1980rms_PSN they just shrunk the strikezone square... the pitches being called strikes are the same as before, zone just looks smaller. Hitting will not be any different.
-
But is different for me. Can't get as many hits. Strike out more.

New strike zone is amazing! Finally, we will be rewarded for dotting the black.
The problem with the way it was: you make a great pitch that straddles the black. No swing and called a ball. So now you have to try and adjust to bring it inside little more except the game fks you and serves up a meatball to be crushed.
Happens continuously in this game.
Coop last night was great as we were able to pitch ourselves to be competitive.
The only thing that pisses me off is when my opponent is consistently dotting the black with guys that I know have a PAR the size of half the strike zone.
Completely unfair and RNG. I don’t think perfect input on pinpoint or any other pitching method cause the ball to dot the black within the PAR.

@I23SAVAGE23I_XBL depending on how consistently they were actually doing it, may or may not have had scripts at play

If that is the case, how are they able to control where the ball goes within the PAR?
-
@sbchamps17_NSW not everyone wanted this. Most people just wanted more consistency. This new thing kinda sucks. But it’s not too terribly bad where it makes it impossible to play. But they need to make it a little more Lenient towards the hitter. Some pitches you can’t hit like a high inside sinker that is legit barely on the line.
-
It was just a visual change of the strike zone size people!!!
-
@I23SAVAGE23I_XBL I don’t know enough about the pitching scripts to tell you that part, but I do know there are pitching scripts

@Sarge1387_PSN I actually tried, but It's very hard to take a screenshot when playing someone online because when you freeze the game, you can't get the pitching location graphic up -- unless there's a way I'm unaware of. But, yes, I played the game online last night, and when I did call up the pitch graphic screen to validate what I just saw with a pitch, there were clear balls that were called strikes. It was ridiculous. And not just against me, but for my pitcher, too. And I don't know what game you've been playing, but I consistently (prior to the update) had been getting calls on the black that were called strikes. In fact, some online opponents were frustratingly good at being able to dot them.

This new strike zone is a huge miscalculation. In playing games in Ranked online and Mini-Seasons offline, balls that didn't even touch the strike zone were being called strikes repeatedly. Whatever adjustments you made need to be re-adjusted ASAP. This isn't a "new" strike zone -- it's a blind umpire not making even close-to-correct calls. I didn't even realize a change had been announced, but was getting frustrated immediately at the number of completely incorrect calls. Again, to repeat, this is NOT complaining that balls that "touch" the strike zone will be called strikes (which I thought was usually the case anyway). It is being extremely frustrated that balls that DO NOT TOUCH the strike zone are consistently being called strikes. Please fix -- or better yet, perfect next time before foisting something like this on us.
Fixed a big problem with pitches being a coin flip on a strike or ball. Way to many people were getting walked on not only 50/50 pitches but sometimes 100% strikes. The "zone" didn't change, just the visual. Most 600 above players aren't really having a problem because they normal defended or can hit those touching the black pitches.

@Rhyno1986_XBL it has changed lol. This game should always lean to the hitter. Some of these pitches barely touching the zone they will not give hits. If they are gonna make it like this they need to fix hits that are just late or just early or just late right outside the box. There are some pitches that just won’t let you get a hit and it’s an automatic out.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS If you can’t hit it now, you couldn’t hit it before. The only thing that changed is the box.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I actually am winning more lol. But you are right I can pitch lights out but I have to basically play small ball now. But now I’m striking out like crazy. It’s just winning game like 2-0 ain’t fun. I’m on the switch yall already have an advantage over me graphics wise

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS Switch is incredibly hard online.
