@DemIsE4_XBL I mean it’s hard to a hit a slider no? There are player that have pitches they clearly struggle to hit hit more than others.

It's baseball. It is hard to hit anything if you want to go that route. An outlier fastball/sinker/cutter may be the hardest pitches to hit in the game when you account for connections, movement, and speed. When the connection is bad (which is a lot), I would rather hit a slider than those other pitches but then you deal with magical shrinkage.

I just think it is a horrible concept in general.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN I think it will be harder as a hitter which to me is a good thing. At least at first. It’s going to take some getting used to, but I think it’s a good change. The game should reflect real life baseball.

Most certainly will when you have a cheat program that can throw it exactly where you want it. A ball just barely touching the corners is going to be very difficult in a game already difficult for 99.99% of the player base.

fixing the strike zone in DD

To me this reads like they simply made the border thinner, as they said it was "purely visual"- hope I'm wrong.

their current stance on shrinkage

Kinda comes across like they're not 100% sure how to fix it, even though in a roundabout way it makes sense.

finally make a statement on fair play.

THIS is the one I'm interested in. Wondering how well their anti-cheat measures will work.

There is zero reason for pci shrinkage. Do bats shrink when the pitcher throws a slider?

The terrible odds on earned packs is what drives me bonkers. I went through my open pack history. I’ve opened 437 BIAH pack. Every single one earned. I’ve gotten 1 diamond, PCA. Think about that, I know I must be an outlier, but still. It’s a disgrace. Couple that with the XP path being pure [censored] volume 5, the lack of DQ rewards and conquest and it’s a mess. I have given up on online for the time being because I don’t need the added aggravation of dealing with the Cheat Bros. I’m at the point of reaching their (SDS) level of apathy.

Yes, this would go a long way, and be a solid first step in repairing goodwill with the community they have largely crapped on. I’m not counting on it though. Fingers crossed.

Yup. If SDS is smart, when they drop the massive content tomorrow, “high LS cards “ packs odds will go up dramatically. Don’t have to announce it, just a “behind the scenes” update.

Yes and for those of us that have opened thousands of earnable packs and gotten no sniff of judge or Ohtani or many of the other big diamonds only to see duplicates of the same cards in the same packs. Then finally pull a diamond and have it be the same 85/86 for the 100th time on top of all the other issues in this game including gameplay, carried over glitches and pathetic xp progress. [censored] gets old real fast and just isn’t fun. Wouldn’t take much to make all those things a touch better and more rewarding to drastically improve the player satisfaction.
