PYS 2012 had better pitching motions than we do in 18 for the show. They dont need to be coddled any longer. They need to get the game right, if you cant do it in 4-5 years then its time to get some new blood that can.

Need more time because it's really early, but yeah it does feel more like '16 in terms of speed.

I'm still hitting some monster shots with Bryant in BP when I time one up though, so I don't think the physics are suffering like what happened with '16 when they changed things. Like I said, really early, though.

Pitch speed 10 used to feel like 8 from last year. Needless to say, I'm getting blown away by high 90's after the patch. Time to hit the cages and get the timing back.

So are the ball physics still ok? I won't play a game with the straight line shots down the line anymore.

Looking at a CAP with BASIC grayed out, so is CHIN GUARD.

Thank you both.

Eager to get home and try it out.

Pitch speed is deff up again. Hit variety and physics still look good so far in a limited sample size. However, im hoping future patches will leave the core gameplay alone. There were too many changes last year with each patch which made hitting any kind of stride in franchise a challenge.

Definitely good to hear!

I have not dived into the series since '16, and even then it was only sporadic (nothing like the PS3 days).

I did find the pitch speed slow, where I was getting hits and making contact (too) easily out of the box the other day. Looking forward to feeling the change when I get home later. I am hooked all over again with this series! The fielding is just so smooth/good this year!
