NEW STRIKE ZONE TOMORROW
-
There’s information on that also from the developer in the update and about cheaters and exploiters
-
@SpecialFrosty_PSN are they also gotta make the plate right size. It’s wider in the game than it is in real life. Basically gonna make the game even more insufferable now with this. More and more spamming certain pitches.
-
If true, completely changes the gameplay - id like to see it, and give people ABS challenges (box must disappear though)
-
What are they going to break with this? Also, how about you deal with the rampant cheating and the market bots?
-
@go4stros25_PSN I hope the shrink the box if this is true. The box in the game is already wider than actual one in real life. Now it’s just gonna promote spamming the same couple of pitches.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS the pci doesnt travel far enough to hit a ball if its low and away and barely touching the edge of the zone. Strikeouts and foulballs are about to go way up.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS They have already said the box will be smaller. It’s just a visual change.
-
@go4stros25_PSN I agree that strikeouts and/or foul balls will go up (probably not both, depending on the game), though I’m pretty sure the actual dimensions of the zone aren’t changing, so unless the ‘visual’ change ends up affecting how we can move our PCIs I don’t see this being an issue
-
It’s true. Played a MS game this morning and if the pitches touches the box, it’s a strike.
-
@OlSkoolE63_MLBTS yeah this is gonna take some adjusting as of rn not a fan but it’s still rly new.
-
They admitted, defended, and then explained why they didn't actually remove PCI shrinkage in 1 sentence. I just wanna say this is walking a thin line to them being sued for false advertising and statements made by gameplay employees.
-
I’m a fan of the strike zone change, but it will take some getting used to.
-
Is the strike zone change actually removing those weird case of online pitches being blatantly called incorrectly?
Offline at least was typically consistent with the halfway on the black method, with only slightly off center pitches being called inconsistently on occasion. But online saw some angel hernandez nonsense.
-
I’d imagine they reprogrammed the umps for this so fingers crossed @teak2112_mlbts
-
The pitch in edited link is a strike, we wanted true strike zone and we got it, if it touches the zone it is a strike
-
The touches a zone is a strike that yall wanted sucks, pitches we’ve been conditioned to take are now strikes. Outside sinker barely touches , strike , I mean 99% outside. Inside fastball 99% of ball inside, strike. It’s got me all f’d up and swinging at [censored] now
-
@TheJeweledLotus_PSN but the strike zone is also smaller. So really nothing has changed. Those pitches barely touching the zone were probably strikes with the bigger zone anyway.
-
@TheJeweledLotus_PSN the actual problem was the game conditioning us to take those pitches imo. just going to have to get used to not playing for the walk cause it’s not even like the zone actually expanded, but more actual strikes will be thrown (or called) regardless
-
@TheJeweledLotus_PSN Same rules as in real life.
-
@eatyum_PSN it’s just going to be a bit of an adjustment period. The advantage has def swung to the pitcher in a big way now. Need shrinkage out more than ever to balance the scales
