    @rubicante23_PSN

    Exactly… ppl saying this are just flat out wrong

    We were used to having a certain eye and not to swing at pitches we knew were out of the strike zone(box)… it’s become muscle memory atp

    Now that’s not the case… I just made a post that i played the event a lot today- so i got pretty used to it… it’s not horrible

    But it’s still bigger than just being “visual” , and i also think a change like this should be implemented at launch.

    @Rhyno1986_XBL its more complicated than "just visual". There's no variance in strike zone now - it used to be that the same pitch could be a ball or strike (50-50 chamce they claimed). Now its always a strike if it clips zone.

    I dont mind the new zone - but the change is more complicated than "the visual box is just smaller now"

    Lol we want more accurate baseball. Okay here's the strike zone for real. We can't hit we trained ourselves to not swing at what should have been called a strike. It's unfair lol, you two are just mad you can't adapt. Oh and just for clarity the actually said any pitch 50 in the zone would always be a strike because of perfect umpire but it wasn't. It was a random rng coin flip where maybe it is maybe it isn't and people sitting g there getting walked because the just don't swing at actual strikes. Not you're mad because it is actually true strike zone and perfect umpiring.

    @GodShammGod2_XBL so the people who designed the game and made the change and said that it’s just a visual change are wrong? Lol

    @Rhyno1986_XBL they will not give you a hit on a high inside sinker that barely clips the side of the top of the zone. Anything that barely clips the zone is most likely an out. It’s mainly anything inside.

    I'm not saying the new zone is good or bad. It's just that it cant be only visual if you go from a system where there's a "50-50 rule" to a completely consistent zone (where a pitch in "Location A" is ALWAYS a strike, or ALWAYS a ball).

    I'm not sure if this makes the zone effectively bigger or smaller - it clearly feels a bit bigger to me, with pitchers being able to regularly get calls they were not getting before.

    I think box should disappear and people should get 2 ABS challenges - it doesn't feel very realistic to me for there to be a "perfect zone"
