Tried the tech test. The PCI extends way too far out of the strike zone and i hit a non-pci contact homerun on legend. That should never happen. They need to fix the PCI extending three feet out of the zone and eliminate the possibility of non-pci contact homeruns. Make the pci move in the confines of a square instead of a hyperextended oval. Not buying 22 if this is even remotely close to how hitting mechanics will work in 22. I had enough foul balls from people swinging at pitches that almost hit their batter in 21 to last me a lifetime.
It's going to happen at times, it's unavoidable. If the reverse was programmed and you couldn't extend that far, people could slam around in the zone. The PCI does shrink now outside of the zone so contact should be harder.
It's obviously been addressed by SDS, but we're not playing the final product and there may be changes that are coming that aren't built into the test version that are coming at launch.
This is mostly an online stability test of the servers and the cross platform/new coop addition.
I think there is a big difference between having the pci go somewhat out of the zone and clearing the zone entirely. If 50-75% of the inner PCI could access areas outside the zone that is different. You can literally move the entire inner pci out of the zone on pitches above the strike zone. Almost all of the PCI can clear the zone in both the left and right directions as well as below the zone. The biggest issues i have with this is foul balls, not necessarily hitting the ball. I have watched videos of Vlad Sr golfing balls out of the dirt and swinging at pitches over his head, so its not entirely obnoxious but the amount of pitches that get fouled off that shouldnt makes this game pretty much unplayable for me.
