Why is PCI Shrinkage Back?
-
I’ll save you some time. The answer is one of 2 things. Either they don’t know how to fix it without breaking the game or they simply don’t care. Sometimes silence tells you everything you need to know.
-
I find it funny that your first Legends and Flashbacks Collection Reward is going to be impacted by this senseless, broken mechanic that you refuse to acknowledge at this point.
Sad @sds_joek_psn

@sds_joek_psn Here is a perfect example of why this mechanic is a joke, and should have never been in the game: https://x.com/typlays22/status/2048145234152882577?s=46&t=7dQFHbKWppB-rGNHpm3Lzw
How can SDS be proud of online gameplay? Or even this game in general this year? In my 10 years of playing this game, this is the worst iteration of The Show since 2018.
From content to gameplay, this has been a terrible start
-
100% agree. Judge on the cover of both duds.
-
@SDS_JoeK_PSN well, all that internal conversation to essentially tell your fanbase to deal with the mechanic. What a joke.
I love how the patch notes mention that timing effects PCI size…as if you’re telling your players they don’t know what good timing is and how shrinkage still is a joke
I provided an example above of shrinkage on a good timed swing and there’s no reason for a swing and miss on that…only a broken mechanic such as PCI shrinkage is to blame
You all sat there and said it was removed as a last ditch effort to boot sales, and now (poorly) defend the mechanic being in the game
What a joke

@doobiebross66-72_PSN spamming him isn’t gonna do u any favours dude
. I understand being upset being told one thing and getting another and that’s wrong I get that but he can’t do anything about it but relay ur message to the team and they have clearly made up there mind on the topic. The real problem is the cheaters who are using tools to help them cheat and are time after time getting a slap on the wrist and sds just going “hey don’t do that but feel free to keep play the game just play fair” like yeah ok any low life that’s gonna go to the extent of cheating ever cares to play this game the right way ever again. News flash they don’t there gonna keep cheating cause there getting away with it… -
@SDS_JoeK_PSN all those conversations for nothing huh Joe? Seem like the Development Team has 0 clue how to fix shrinkage?
Worst year PR wise for SDS. Y’all should be thoroughly embarrassed of this product
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN he will not respond to you
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN he will not respond to you
Your mom did respond to me.
-
@I23SAVAGE23I_XBL ha…ha…ha, brother you are so cool. Still better than seeing you play a game you can’t stop hating. I really hope yall get everything you want. Even then you will find something to complain about.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS I don’t care about a response at this point. My reasoning is to express how pathetic it is that this company directly advertised that this mechanic was removed pre-launch to boost sales.
And that was obviously a lie. So I’ll continue to respond to Joe when they keep releasing updates that don’t address what they mislead their community about.
If shrinkage is not removed next year I simply will not buy this game.
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN why wait? Just quit now. All waiting is gonna do is cause a bigger resentment.
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN it was never gone lol. Thats why they're giving us nothing but switch hitters.
-
@ryguy034753_XBL agree which is further strengthens my point about how scummy it is of them to directly say it was removed. They no longer deserve our money
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS resentful really isn’t the best word. Disappointed. If you look at my previous posts/comments, I’ve directly praised the game when it actually is fun and you avoid awful mechanics
The last weekend classic I genuinely enjoyed. This post here is to give SDS the heat they deserve for literally false advertising pre-launch
-
@sds_joek_psn would love for you to relay this to the game development team:
https://x.com/trodeeboy13/status/2064754148537446701?s=46&t=7dQFHbKWppB-rGNHpm3Lzw
How can SDS defend this mechanic? This single mechanic solely contributes to the reason we have a switch hitting meta. Is this really what you all want?
Still having those internal conversations Joe or was all that just a buncha [censored]?
-
As I have written before, last I checked in real world baseball, the bat size doesn't shrink when a hitter goes after a pitch low and away!
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL but low and away sliders are so hard to hit! So let’s make sure our users are penalized for no reason when they manage to square up and time a low and away slider! That’s exactly what they want! Oh, and let’s tell them that this is intended after we lied and told them it was removed!
What a joke of a company
-
@sds_joek_psn any acknowledgment from your company regarding your blatant false advertising? Or will SDS take the ostrich stance and just bury your head in the ground acting like you don’t care about the people who keep your company afloat? What a sad excuse of a “development” company SDS has turned into over the past decade
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN they did acknowledge it. They doubled, or maybe quadruple downed on it. They haven't admitted this yet, but sales were not going great so they announced they would take it out at the 12th hour. Then did absolutely nothing. Well, they shrunk the strike zone box. Which was a visual change not a game change, meaning it was a strike before, so instead of fixing the game, just make the box smaller, and those strikes before now appear to be just clipping the edge of the strike zone. THEN, they doubled down (or quadrupled lol) on PCI shrinkage is here to stay, accept it because all the stellar former ball players behind the scenes at SDS know ball, and a slider away is really hard to hit.
This is called Bait and Switch, in any other business model it's illegal, and the company could face a lawsuit for selling a product under false pretenses. However, the arbitration agreement you agreed to when logging in for the first time protects SDS from lawsuits. The same TOS, that SDS ignored when players openly exploited the game a few weeks ago with the WBC glitch. So, ultimately what I'm saying is they want you to play the game and like it the way it is. #WORKINGASINTENDED.They will never be honest and transparent with any of us. They will act like heros when they fix small issues in the game. Its a joke.
