No more slip n sliiiiiiide! Good bye forever.

We'll see. I just hope they didn't break the game again like they did last time when they updated it

That's true, I think gameplay updates come slow for this exact reason. They have a lot more to fix. Hopefully hitting is next!

Let's be honest fixing the super dives does effect hitting. You might get 2 or 3 more hits a game that way. Foul balls is the only thing that might be fixed for hitting though. Exit velo randomness has been a problem since 18 and isn't going away

I try and present both sides with this game. A lot of time that means there are things I think could be better or need fixed, but sometimes SDS does things right. I know I am in the minority, but I think Update 6 did help foul balls. In no way am I saying it fixed it, but they said they were making a small adjustment and I do think it helped. I think it took it back more to where 21 was at. I know I am striking out more hitters after that update, even though the foul ball issue prevents many that should be. I would love to see another adjustment or two made, but I am completely fine if they do it incrementally to make sure they don't completely break something.

I will also say that I played one event game this morning and the first pitch of the game was a low and in sinker and I hit a hard groundball to the left side with Trout. His SS dove and came up a foot short. It was a much more realistic animation. Obviously small sample size, but it was definitely different. I am interested to see if it impacts outfield dives also. The notes mention "dive in the infield", but I feel the outfield dives have been as big of a problem or even bigger.

I have no doubt they tweaked the foul balls a bit, but it's really not noticeable enough to be satisfactory. As for the outfield dives I didn't see them as much of a problem as infield myself. A successful outfield dive required much more precision in when you press the button. The infield dives seemed like you could just dive at any time and stop anything

The most unrealistic part of the outfield dives have been people diving to trap a ball which has already landed to turn a double into a single. It's not as annoying as the slip and slide in the infield, but my opponents have done that a few times and it looks ridiculous.
