Along with what everyone else said, cut the plate in half until 2 strikes. If you get your pitch inside/outside, high/low, swing away. If not, just take.

I've played a good bit and seen maybe 4-5 blatant cheaters. If someone is actually decent at the game and toggling you'll never see it as a human. SDS needs to track PCI movement for shortest-possible-pathing to the ball, repeated PCI placement relative to the ball, shadow swing/take discipline, etc. Or better yet just disable cloud play online, that solves 90% of it and then we're basically just back to Zen scumbags.

New strike zone penalizes patience on higher difficulties. It was hard enough to take a 102 fastball in, now you're just begging to K looking if you show any restraint. Contact results were already pretty unfriendly at times and this just incentivizes you to swing at bad pitches. Doesn't hurt the cheaters though, they don't mind at all.
