So WTF is up with PCI sizes on higher difficulties?

[Padgoi]

Before everyone runs in here calling me nuts and saying I'm imagining things, I actually ran a test on this and I have no idea why I'm seeing what I'm seeing. Please try to offer me some type of explanation:

- Test 1: I'm the Yankees. Legend difficulty using my own sliders (posted in slider forum). I made all deadline transactions and my team is currently ranked 18 (I was 20 before the Beltran trade, somehow I went down, figure that one out). Simulated a few games of the season. Played Mariners. Sabathia pitching for me (rated an 80). I noticed the size of the PCI is very normal. Stats are very normal. Nothing really out of the ordinary.

Test 2: I'm the Indians. Same difficulty as Test 1. Made all roster deadline transactions, team ranked 8. Simulated first 14 games of season. Playing Mariners. Trevor Bauer pitching (rated an 80). PCI size for CPU is ENORMOUS. How enormous? Check the attached image. PCI is regularly as large as the entire strike zone. And before you ask, I mix pitches, locations and pitch effort regularly. Didn't matter. PCI was totally out of control.

Same difficulty. Same opposing team. Pitchers of very similar ratings (and yes, I checked their actual ratings, not just the overall). I also checked the coaches ratings - very similar for both teams. How could the PCI for the CPU when playing as the Indians be so VASTLY larger than the PCI when playing as the Yankees when all factors involved are almost identical???

Hmm, so a contact swing takes up the entire strike zone? If baseball were only that easy...

When I contact swing on hof with Michael Brantley it does. The pci isn't an exact representation of the baseball bat.

On a off note I do agree that there isn't enough swing and misses from the user side on strikes.

Please stop with this.

He stated an observation that it looks like a contact swing.

If you have an issue with the game design, cool. You want the contact swing to take up less of the strike zone? Cool.
