Precision Input Gameplay Engine for The Show 16....anyone hyped for this?

Here is a video of me talking about it and breaking it down:


I think this will be really cool for online. It may not affect Analog and Directional hitters as much, but for zone hitters this is a nice feature to see.

Re: Precision Input Gameplay Engine for The Show 16....anyone hyped for this?

As a primary Zone hitter, I am definitely excited for this.

Especially as someone who like to be agressive early, and have seen many first pitch balls that I have had perfect timing and placement on, turn into a chopper or lazy fly ball. I am guessing this is something to do with how they have programmed hitting to have positive modifiers in deep counts.

Plus with the possible return of Striding, I haven't been this excited to hit in quite a few years.

I am both excited and afraid of this feature. It's true, there was nothing more frustrating than squaring a ball up perfectly only to hit a weak popout. HOWEVER, there were more than a few times when I swung at pitches I shouldn't have and got rewarded.

Overall I see my batting averages taking a dive. It's what I deserve and I'm ok with it, just a little scared is all. Now scuse me while I go drill plate discipline for the next month and a half.

It will definitely be interesting how the change affects performance numbers, say over the course of a season compared to last year. And also if it has an effect on those who do not use the PCI.

I definitely don't mind a more challenging experience though, most games these days are far too easy.

Haven't read much into this. I'm strictly a timing hitter, well directional now I guess, but I use it as timing. But I'm not familiar with what this does. Will it make hitting easier, or harder?

In 8 years playing this game I've never been no hit by the CPU but I'm scared that might change this year...

Im not 100 pct sure but I have a feeling directional will be roughly the same. I think itd be too overpowered if they gave you more of a boost for good timing without having to worry about pci placement.

I'm a directional and analog hitter so I don't think it'll be too different in that. But I also play analog pitching which can be very inconsistent as well and I'm excited to see how analog pitching changes because of this.
