That is probably the most honest SDS has ever been tbh, lets see where it takes us
Is claiming a fart really being honest?

When the past was working as intended, yes.

Working as intended = shart

I tend to believe things when I see them and hold off my judgement until I have first hand experience. That's just me though.
I agree completely, but them taking at least a little accountability today gives me more hope than the last few years

I'm still skeptical as the gameplay stream and tech test have been somewhat false advertising towards the actual game the last few years. However, this feature premiere has me excited more than usual. The Outer PCI reduction is huge. The fielding changes may seem bad for those that aren't aware but if they work as advertised it improves hitting tremendously. I never thought I would see the day where they said the outfield didn't play big enough
Agree on the outer PCI but the inner PCI looked awful small to me. If they just eliminated the outer PCI altogether and had a larger inner PCI pre 21 I would be happier. Isn’t timing always been the key to solid hitting?
Edit: I originally watched the stream on my phone. Watched it again on the big screen TV and the inner PCI looks good to me. If everything works as they have shown it will be a big improvement. Hopefully it works and they are not patching the game after a week

I haven't seen the stream so I can't judge based on that. I will however judge them on past promises where they ended up striking out, so it's not going in their favor. But again, we'll see. Definitely not on the hype train tho, hard to erase all their failures over the last 5 years from memory.

Don't blame you. I'm more optimistic then most longtime players anyway. I don't even plan on playing the tech test as that has been false hope for years. Expect the worst and you can't be disappointed lol

Only "updates" I care about from the stream:
- "field will play bigger" they said more hits and more green grass
- outer PCI change = less foul balls and more K's
- Less "fluky" hits on late swings
Could care less about:
- New feedback boxes
- supposed "new animations" we've heard that before...
- Co-op rewards: they look basic and we need it to work without freezeoffs to know if rewards are even worth it.

Wasn’t able to watch, but hearing “outer PCI” reduction and the “outfield didn’t play big enough” make me hopeful. Any other specifics that were mentioned?
They acted like they weren't the ones who implemented all the foul balls. Kinda funny
It's also sad that the game look just like it did 5 years ago and we're on how many years of next gen?
None actually. they cant exceed the capabilities of last gen cause of cross play,so until its no crossplay or next gen only we really havent a next gen game yet.

This community is still gonna be the same people complaining about new things on top of the old things they've been complaining about for years anyway.

@CCARR77_PSN said in Gotta Give Credit When Due:
The user didn't gain any more control. The new throwing meter is just more RNG. It looked the same to me except for the outfielders acting more stupid.
We'll see
They always talk a good game pre release and put the same product out. Maybe it will finally be different?

Nah, the game has been the same or worse for years and years. Sure people will complain, but you can’t just throw that blanket statement out when SDS has been complacent as F.

What would you say if they gave Greg Maddux outlier? Good or bad?

Cut and paste. Same lame game.

The bright side: Babe Ruth will now be a more viable option than the great Anthony Samtander considering you'll be able to pitch with him too.
I think the new throwing meter will be an error fest. They said they watched the top players on Twitch and thought throwing was too easy. Throwing to a base or cut off man isn't that difficult in the first place. Why we making changes based on the best players?
The new stat cast thing is just a new way to hold someone hand online. You no longer have to pay attention to what your opponent is throwing if you can just pull that thing up to see what he's throwing to make you chase pitches.
We'll see...

Did the fix superdives, pitcher stamina?

I'm not even remotely at the level of top players and I could do the throwing meter green every single time in my sleep. It needed a change

I am excited about everything in the stream today. Hopefully it works in real life as in theory. Cant believe they finally got the Ohtani thing worked out as well.

It sounds like once again, the new game will be basically the same as the old game. Personally, I’d like more than a slight change to the pci and outfielders who don’t defend well. Like, I dunno, maybe a new hitting engine? This game has been essentially the same for years now. I guess enough people are good with that.

I thought the fielding change was rather significant. Moving the throwing meter depending on how well the ball is fielded and how good of a fielder it is, and the throwing meter accuracy making it tougher for fielders to throw the ball in instead of making perfect throws all the time. Fielding and baserunning were way more flawed than hitting. Of course I bet baserunning wont get any big changes.
