Hot zones: Functional or Visual? Also, the amount?

[Knight165]

Functional I believe.

With them off, it has no effect.

yes,With QC's ON, the Preview option does not work. In this mode, it had to be set to ON.thanks

So it's possible to have it on and not see the preview?

I always turned it off so I wouldn't see them ... but I wouldn't mind having them functional if I can't see them.

I've played 4 games now with them on and I've gotta say, I'm loving it.

It's a cool feeling missing in a hot red zone and being like, "Oh $@!?&."

The Dynamic nature is nice too. I think I found a new favorite toy.

yea i agree i actually playing with the hot cold zone off and im seeing balls a little bit better. i guess all the blue and red made me focus on that and not the ball.

Scea needs to adopt PYS and make the hot/cold zones dynamic and change according to the hitters count as in real life.

I used to be against this, but I think it adds more to pitching strategy. It doesn't mean to simply attack the cold zones either. I still don't like pitching big hitters inside very much and I like to throw high fastballs vs contact guys. Plus if a hitter is trying to advance the runner by hitting to the right side, hitting on the ground, or hitting a sac fly then I will adjust my pitches accordingly.

I really don't like it for hitting, but for pitching it adds another element.
