I understand they did this to tune down homeruns and opposite field homeruns but the consequence I'm seeing is it is taking away what used to be base hits. I have fielder reaction set at 2 already and loved finally seeing those "seeing-eye" singles through the infield pre-patch. Lowering ball velocity off the bat on line drive hits or solid contact has taken this away. I will lower this to one the next few games and see how it goes in my franchise!

Irish, play a few more games and see what you think.

I played three games post patch yesterday, and did not see this to be an issue at all.

I have sold hits at 4 for each side (HUM v CPU) and saw plenty of absolute lasers, including two jacks by Moreland that went 938 feet collectively.

I would have complained about the 468-470 footers, had they not come on Power swings, and dead red 3-1 fastballs that I influenced. I can live with the pull-back cam blasts from time to time it they make sense.

Otherwise, HanRam just about put a hole in the Monster with a screaming liner, and I saw plenty of shots that did not feel faked, or feel nerfed.

Just my 2 cents so far, but in my three games, I did not feel cheated.

I'm a zone hitter and I can tell you straight up that with a few small slider adjustments, the long homers pre-patch were totally fixed. With the patch the way it is, I pretty much had to redo all hitting sliders because grounders up the middle that got through for singles before are now being knocked down by the infielders. I wonder if there's any chance of SDS just reverting back to pre-patch?

Bat sounds seem the same to me. I'm on a pro.

Yeah I was about to say the same thing.

No need to get anyone hot in here over something that is being fixed on the next update. If it does not bother you that's fine but it's changing back to the way it sounded out of the box. And Skyboxer I might give you a run for your money as far as being an old fart around these parts! LOL Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

When you had issues, were you playing on default? It would make sense that sliders would be different after the patch.

The wind being the biggest factor as I noticed 10mph wind in game moving the ball as if it were 20-25mph winds. Lowering wind slider has greatly reduced homeruns and possibly homerun distances to a lesser extent. They need to revert the ball velocity off the bat back to what it was before, fix bat sounds back as well. I've never seen a patch from SDS cause other major issues in game before so giving them the benefit of the doubt but cmon...those two things were fine pre patch and now they are a huge game flaw now.

I seen guys getting jammed and hitting balls 110 mph. How was that fine lol?

If you hit a ball 95-100 mph off bat that is superb. You should not be able to get jammed and hit it 110. I think the hit speed has directly correlated to oppo power being tok high. I think there were more problems under the hood though because pre patch alot of center greens were hit drastically weaker than yellow swings (early or just late)

Plus the fact alot of pitches inside the zone were labeled as "chased".

I have yet to test the patch but I will post my results.
