Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

What is the issue?

Sock colors don't change to match the uniform.

Example when you wear the Texas Rangers red alternates whatever player has stance socks they will be blue instead of red. The whole thing is way off.

Seems like last year was the first year they ever got the Rangers right? Then back to this this year.. or maybe its because i rarely wear anything but whites and grays. Im old school i think color jerseys are for BP lol. But i have worn red to break a losing streak. Works erry tyne!

I feel you. I won't wear the blues at home with the Mets. Only with Harvey, if I do...

Did either this patch or 1.09 up the pitch speed? I was having trouble catching up to stuff and had to turn it down a notch. I was wondering if it was because of the patch or not.

I think it was 1.09...

Re: MLB The Show 18 Patch 1.10 Available, Patch Notes Here

Just finished a MoM franchise game.


COL 14 - 20 - 0
NYM 8 - 13 - 1


Of course there was nothing in the 1.10 release notes that makes me think anything from this patch would have any effect at all in a MoM game. Offense was obviously high as HRs played a fairly big role for both teams in the high production numbers. But offensive in my Franchise has been trending fairly high lately even before patch. So this is likely something a slider adjustment could resolve. But my Franchise is only in early May (I am 3 weeks behind the real world schedule thanks to myself playing tons of RTTS games this year) and I don't want to go chasing sliders yet. Bottom line is the game needed to be played, and it was played. On to the next day of the franchise schedule.


Perhaps later I will play a RTTS game with my Braves SP (another game than needs to be played) and perhaps I will get a better feel for the 1.10 release. Of course very little of this release had anything to do with offline play, so it's all just a placebo. The game is still fun despite the warts it sports.

Thanks for the update. Probably just one of those games.

From the patch notes, the majority of the patch affects both offline, and online play, as far as the gameplay portions if the patch go.. That was the whole reason for the long explanation it seems. How much it affects it is still to be seen. Im with you though, it doesnt seem like it should affect MOM much if at all. Im curious to know what your results are.

Well, couldn't resist. Wanted to try it out tonight. This is Legend with slightly modified sliders, same franchise as the one I was testing with pre-patch (though I branched it until I can get a good feel for the post-patch gameplay).



Pretty good game. No homers but the wind was blowing 5 MPH straight in and I do think it knocked a few balls down. I'm still hitting them in practice so I think they'll come. I did have a few more swings and misses due to the smaller PCI, but that's not a bad thing because I was starting to feel like I wasn't striking out enough (though I was still very early in that test franchise and wasn't ready to adjust sliders yet).

I feel like this patch might have a side effect of increased hit variety, because smaller PCI means smaller "barrel" zone which means more unpredictable bat -> ball behavior. I did see a bit of that in my first game when I got a few hits that were definitely not centered on the PCI. That Bryant one in particular I think would have been a bullet off the wall pre-patch, and it turned into a sinking line drive here (I actually thought it was at least going to carry out to Hamilton for a flyout).

First impression is pretty good.

Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

Another early return.

It's easier to drive a ball that is low in the zone. Doesn't appear to be overdone, but something I've noticed.

And thru 8 hitters I have 2 homeruns and 5 hits.

Smaller PCI noticeable. Pitches that I would foul off with PCI placement prior to patch are now swings and misses.

I was able to play one game tonight and I had a lot more swings and misses due to the smaller PCI. I like it. Really enjoying this game!

Hmm...that will be interesting for Directional. I feel like it's (too) unpredictable at times even before.

Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

Believe it or not, I'm actually not a troll. I just REALLY love this community. Generally what I type I actually feel. I admit to going overboard sometimes but it's absolutely hilarious. However, I do think there are certain individuals who go a bit overboard as well with defending every little thing about the game to the point that it feels like they're underground employees.

Which is why I wish there were more objective observations (i.e. data) that is immune to such things on either "side".

Re: MLB The Show 18 Patch 1.10 Available, Patch Notes Here

I think I like this new PCI. First swing, Jerome Walton lined a fastball at the knees into right-center field for a hit. Before, it would have been a routine grounder to 2nd.

From what i understood, the "barrel" or solid porton of the PCI is still the same size, and unaffected, but the weak hit portion around it is smaller, reducing the overall size of the PCI, and turning weak hits into weaker hits and foul tips, and leading to more swings and misses because of the smaller diameter of the PCI. I can see how this could still lead to unpredictable behaviour though.

Maybe i am reading too much into it?

Edit: or actually - it very well could turn weak hits and foul tips into more solid hits, due to smaller size of the weak hit portion, making all weak contact closer to the solid portion.... and still increasing misses. So any contact has more of a chance of being solid contact, but less contact is being made due to the smaller diameter of the PCI. ? Maybe...

In that game I posted, I had 4 IFFB. I never had that many in 1.08 or 1.09 so clearly it's the patch, right??? lol

I don't know, it seemed relatively predictable but there's times where the trajectories seem odd, but I just write it off to the wonders of being able to get a bat so far under a pitch 3 inches off the dirt that he can still hit it straight up.

Nothing I'm going to get worried over, just found it interesting given the overall unpredictability of Directional hitting.

One or two of them were on pitches very hittable but that's nothing new and definitely not because of the patch

Re: MLB The Show 18 Patch 1.10 Available, Patch Notes Here

Perhaps it's me, but I would love a slider for the sensitivity of the PCI movement post-pitch...meaning, how quickly the user can move it from the original placement once the pitch is thrown. So a 10-tick slider would be much more sensitive to any adjustment versus zero which would mean the PCI barely moves once the pitcher throws it.

I can predict pretty good where the pitcher will throw (AI) a pitch a certain situation but it usually needs a slight adjustment from the PCI and that slight adjustment just kills me.
