    Oh! I grew up in New England, so I'm a Red Sox fan. I just wasn't sure that's where you wanted to go, Trevor.

    Anywhere but Pittsburgh and Colorado haha

    Go to Baltimore where careers go to die.

    Here is a helpful section to have included

    When can you Download the Game?
    "Currently, the Tech Test is available for download for PS Store users. The Microsoft store will have the download available at ________pm PST and Nintendo at ________pm PST. To find and download the tech test we recommend searching for _________ within the PS, MS or Nintendo Stores."

    Just some simple information that should be considered when release a game or demo...

    Are we allowed to stream the tech test?

    I would like to know a definite answer on this also. In yesterday’s video, Ramone said we could, but when I tried to record earlier, I got a message saying recording this wasn’t allowed.

    We can, I have been watching (major) players stream. There is the watermark though.

    Yes, you can stream if you have the means to do so outside of the function in the OS.

    New PCI anchor is going to be interesting. Playing around with it now.

    Hitting feedback says 9mph wind but doesnt show which direction.

    Can you explain what the anchor is? I’m not near my console.

    You can change you starting position of your PCI to one of 9 positions.

    Ill check that. Weird that it would say the wind speed though.

    will be interesting to see with co-op and those that like to take an extra step lead off with everyone if you are now required to retreat back on your own and not the AI doing it for you for 30 minutes straight

    Tried the tech test. The PCI extends way too far out of the strike zone and i hit a non-pci contact homerun on legend. That should never happen. They need to fix the PCI extending three feet out of the zone and eliminate the possibility of non-pci contact homeruns. Make the pci move in the confines of a square instead of a hyperextended oval. Not buying 22 if this is even remotely close to how hitting mechanics will work in 22. I had enough foul balls from people swinging at pitches that almost hit their batter in 21 to last me a lifetime.

    Any word yet on whether you will be able to choose uniforms in online rated? All other sport titles you can. It will be a big fail on SDS if we can’t.

    It's going to happen at times, it's unavoidable. If the reverse was programmed and you couldn't extend that far, people could slam around in the zone. The PCI does shrink now outside of the zone so contact should be harder.

    It's obviously been addressed by SDS, but we're not playing the final product and there may be changes that are coming that aren't built into the test version that are coming at launch.

    This is mostly an online stability test of the servers and the cross platform/new coop addition.

    I think there is a big difference between having the pci go somewhat out of the zone and clearing the zone entirely. If 50-75% of the inner PCI could access areas outside the zone that is different. You can literally move the entire inner pci out of the zone on pitches above the strike zone. Almost all of the PCI can clear the zone in both the left and right directions as well as below the zone. The biggest issues i have with this is foul balls, not necessarily hitting the ball. I have watched videos of Vlad Sr golfing balls out of the dirt and swinging at pitches over his head, so its not entirely obnoxious but the amount of pitches that get fouled off that shouldnt makes this game pretty much unplayable for me.

    I think the intention here is user error can be made on pitches in the zone. Squaring pitches up on the edges of the zone takes some touch, you can overextend on them.

    On higher difficulties the pitch speeds do a lot in terms of making harder to slam all over with good placement and timing. Hopefully the PCI penalty that's now in the game when going out of the zone gets dialed in so those happen less often.

    You have to remember as much as you may play the test, your individual data and experience represents a very tiny amount of the overall data they'll get. It's possible your experience can be different from someone else's just due to tendencies, ability level, and the RNG.

    If you play on HOF and legend a lot, you're most likely playing against better players who control the PCI better.

    I believe the outer edge pci is vision area where the hitter may foul off a pitch or weak contact. The center pci is actual bat path to barrel up.
