        Yeah fielding looked impressive. Going to need to keep it up. I don't give it away for free...my preorder that is.

            "Off Speed pitches are generally less effective "

            Not at all what I wanted to hear. They needed to not be as slow especially changeups. Instead they made them harder to control.

              "Legend pitch speeds slightly faster, rookie slightly slower"

              Also timing is more important this year for hit quality. Versus pci placement

                Timing window for fastballs has been slightly decreased. Along with them being faster.

                  HR/9 effects gameplay this year. A way to counter power lineups in DD

                    Re: MLB The Show 19 Twitch Stream - Hitting Improvements

                    So seems like they've added code to lower accuracy of a player throwing the same pitch over over again if it's not a #1 pitch. And maybe even a pci bonus to the batter.

                    It'll be an effective counter to players throwing the same pitch especially online.

                    However, that type of coding method will bring increased feelings of gameplay not feeling organic and "rubber banding". This type of coding hasn't been beneficial to any sim sports game.

                      Not sure who the dev is in the middle but loved his points about strikeouts. Haven't been enough strikeouts in the game. Nice, needed change imo.

                        I want to see how off speed pitches have changed before getting concerned.

                        I guess as an offline user I can always increase that pitch speed slider if needed

                          Glad to hear they were able to find a balance with bunting.

                              As somebody who only plays offline, I hope with the marked emphasis towards online gameplay that while these additions may also be available offline, the AI is being improved to keep pace with the changes. Madden for example, had a year recently where the AI fell short because they made changes anticipating that both players would be human and didn’t adapt the AI accordingly.

                              For instance, if the AI is going to punish me for “spamming” my third best pitch, I hope my AI catcher doesn’t call for me to throw that pitch five times in a row.
