This is the best improvement in the patch notes for me personally. This has been a frustration for some time in the series and I am hopeful that they were able "fix" it with this patch. Nothing more frustrating that seeing a ball that falls just over an infielders head and he doesn't even react.

Are pitch speed changes DD only? I know we have sliders offline, and I'd at least be curious to hear from the devs about the equivalent slider values if the changes aren't in offline as well.

Just started a conquest game and the pitch speed has jumped through the roof. Even sliders are being thrown harder than fastballs were pre-patch. Should make a big difference online and let the monitor crowd happy. Not crazy about them putting this in the offline DD as well as the online tbh. Some of us are old and don't see like we used to, so I don't really get why we can't set our own pitch speed in offline DD?

Spotted some new card art on Hoskins and Hader, but not any on Devers, so not sure how deep they've gone there. Not exactly a crucial thing that needing patching, it was more just bizarre that they hadn't added these before releasing the game.

No mention of fixing the franchise bug, which is a concern, but the patch notes seem to be pretty heavily aimed at DD so it could well have been fixed in the annoyingly vague "various minor fixes" description they always throw in there. Kind of feels like the sort of thing you might want to announce that you'd fixed though

This worries me. Like I said earlier, I'm a few teams away from beating extreme, and with drastic changes to pitch speed it could change what I'm used to enough to cause me to lose hours upon hours of game play.

I just played two Ranked Season games and the difference was noticeable.
Pitch speeds much faster now and high Velo guys will be dangerous again.

Didn't feel like the PCI moved like it used to and hitting felt more natural.
This could be placebo of course but wait and see what others say.

Starting an online DD game with Ohtani now. Let’s see if his FB is actually useful

What was the issue with PCI? Was this mainly an online issue? I havent been seeing any issue as far as pci placement or size on legend difficulty.

[Mercury112491]

Whelp. I can say that it seemed a bit faster? I didn’t get any swing and missed on Ohtanis FB(97-100mph) which was disheartening. But the guy was using an all legend diamond lineup so I’m sure the PCIs were all gigantic.
