Yes 100% confirmed by yours truly.

Can you also go over the 480, now, without having the MLB TV broadcast intro skipped?

One interesting thing about runners advancing on pitches in the dirt which still is an issue offline - a couple years ago by (un)popular demand they introduced chased pitches which has caused several swinging third strikes each game on pitches in the dirt in manage mode. I've never seen a runner be safe at first when this happens. Apparently there is an animation for this specific instance which guarantees the catcher picks up the ball and throws out the batter at first.

It makes me wonder how a glitch which didn't previously exist - runners advancing on pitches in the dirt - worked its way into the game.

You know I agree with most of those sentiments.

But the ball off the bat is clearly off and off badly and was already acknowledged by SDS.

So let's not sit here and make pretend it is our imagination that this happened and is a true bug and by product of this patch.

The entire feel of hitting has been changed due to this audio error, bug or whatever you want to call it.

But it clearly was changed and unintentionally. Every hit sounds and feels like the bat is cracked.

You can't feel if it was weak contact, or if you grooved a ball off the sweet spot off the bat like you could with the game out of the box.


For lack of a better term, it's hideous and a massive wart on an otherwise amazing game.

Thank goodness they are fixing it. Because it is most certainly off.

I have played this game non stop since release and my very first comment on my stream post patch was about this and it came right after the moment I made contact with the ball.

I was like "uh oh Houston we have a problem"

Anyway let's not minimize a serious flaw.

Much like the QC's SP hook issue....this is something tangible and factual. It changed and not for the better and nor was it intended.

It was a bug created from update 1.04.

It doesn't change the quality of the hit(s), just the sound, correct?

I am in the minority in that I've not noticed any difference.

The velocity of the ball off the bat has been nerfed big time with the patch. Line drive hits right back up the middle are slow and the 2b or ss easily gets tp it and at least knocks the ball down.

Turning up solid hits may help some but not completely. I understand they did this to tune down homeruns and opposite field homeruns but the consequence I'm seeing is it is taking away what used to be base hits.

I have fielder reaction set at 2 already and loved finally seeing those "seeing-eye" singles through the infield pre-patch. Lowering ball velocity off the bat on line drive hits or solid contact has taken this away.

I will lower this to one the next few games and see how it goes in my franchise!

This sequence, I found it to be a reasonable manager hook (Quick Count Mode) made it the 5th with 72 pitches.

Yeah I think they've been a bit crude with the way they fixed too many homeruns, but just nerfing the power off the bat of all hits.

I don't speak for everybody, but I don't recall anyone complaining about the speed was travelling off the bat, only that too often the ball was hit far too far. I feel they should have been able to fix that without affecting regular hits. It all feels pretty weedy now, with weak dribblers being the norm. Could they not have just changed the maximum velocity the ball could be hit at and the frequency in which that happened, without changing the regular velocity of the bat? As it felt a hell of a lot better before imo.

I'm not hearing anything different with the bat sound *shrugs*

Re: MLB The Show 17 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

Played my first QC game in franchise They pulled their starter after 5 1/3 while leading 1-0. As soon as i got hit a hit they pulled him. 68 pitches.
I tried having stamina at 10 and hook at 1 when this happened.
Only a couple games but as far as ball off bat speed I haven't seen an issue but will monitor it as only a couple games.
Also bat sounds seem ok to me but I'm old and stuff. Lol

I really think we can stop talking about the ball off the bat sound being that they are going to fix it and acknowledged that it was a bug. No need to get anyone hot in here over something that is being fixed on the next update.

If it does not bother you that's fine but it's changing back to the way it sounded out of the box.

And Skyboxer I might give you a run for your money as far as being an old fart around these parts! LOL

Yes hitting just felt a whole hell of a lot better pre patch. Lowering power and wind down to 3 fixed homerun issue.

The wind being the biggest factor as I noticed 10mph wind in game moving the ball as if it were 20-25mph winds. Lowering wind slider has greatly reduced homeruns and possibly homerun distances to a lesser extent.

They need to revert the ball velocity off the bat back to what it was before, fix bat sounds back as well. I've never seen a patch from SDS cause other major issues in game before so giving them the benefit of the doubt but cmon...those two things were fine pre patch and now they are a huge game flaw now.

You probably accidentally hit r2

I don't believe I did. At least I don't remember accidentally hitting anything.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

I'll play some games tonight so I get a feel for it in actual game situations, but I can still hit the same 118-119 MPH 500 ft bombs with Giancarlo in practice that I could pre-patch. So I'm not as sold on the overall hitting physics being changed as you guys are. I feel like that's really hard to determine in 2 days since the release no matter how much you play with how much variance there is in this game (as in real baseball).

JMO.

I do agree the sound is different, and probably unintended. And there's no point talking about that since they're going to patch it again.

I think I'm in the minority that likes the new hitting better. You really got to square it up now to do damage.

RTTS, when I'm a batter on a hitting streak please don't put me in to pinch hit! Full games only! Driving ving me crazy!
