I've tried being patient.  The shrinking PCI back and forth is my breaking point.  So SDS perfected the strike zone.  Awesome they should have.  It should have come out this way from the beginning not mid cycle.  It was a forced reaction to the shrinking PCI which they never fixed in fact made them worse, after selling the game on the mechanic would be removed.  Then SDS comes back with well they are in the game deal with it, but here is a perfect strike zone.</p>
<p dir="auto">I love the strike zone change, just think it should have been done at the start of the launch cycle not 2 months into it.  I don't love the bait and switch tactics of, "Shrinking PCI is part of the game to help with foul balls" (which if you know anything about online play foul balls are a completely separate issue with or without shrinking sliders)  and "Hitters need to adjust with ambush hitting"  So you're trying to sell a feature by breaking the game?  After that the community hit back about how SDS lost touch, fast forward to a pre-launch live stream, some idiot comes and sits on the couch, "We are completely removing Shrinking PCI, we heard you."  Sweet, people now feel better about buying the game.</p>
<p dir="auto">Fast forward to last week, after all the feedback, we get "Perfect Umpires" (something in case you missed it they stated we had from day 1, again a bold face lie).  "Oh, and about the shrinking PCI, this is why it exhists..."</p>
<p dir="auto">Sorry for the long take, it's frustrating and this is just issue 1 I have.</p>

<p dir="auto">If they go that way game will die out.   It's already happening to Madden.   I also think at a certain point there would start to be legal repercussions, and I don't mean from consumers.   I'd imagine at a certain point the Governments would begin to get involved like they did with EA a few years back.</p>

They need to just accept this and adjust it for the offline players or and this might sounds cold but at least I would respect them being honest. -- tell the offline players flat out -- you really need to dabble online or be behind the eightball for the XP path etc. and we are not going to adjust to you.</p>

No one has to play the game and if they wanted to play online, they would be playing online.  You will push some online... but you will push exponentially more to another game.  The core draw of DD has always been you can play however you want and all end up in the same place, some paths are just longer than others.  That is still basically true, but instead of a longer path, single players are just faced with a wall of jungle and a butter knife to cut their way through.</p>
