Re: MLB The Show 17 Patch 1.07 Available Now, Patch Notes Included
I can only offer one suggestion to the guys who are throwing 3-4 WP's a game (and who may be trying to play without the pitch preview displays) - don't trust the controller vibration for aiming on anything other than a 4-seam fastball. It's supposed to vibrate when you aim near the edges of the zone, and for the fastball since the flight path is dead straight this is pretty accurate. But when you try to throw a curveball the flight path of the ball is different, and even though you aim down the middle at first the ball ends up way below it. So that throws off the vibration effect - if you aim low it won't really start vibrating until you're aiming down at the catcher's toes. Pretty obvious what will happen if you throw the pitch down there, right? By contrast, if you aim a curveball up (not that you'd want to do so intentionally) you'll get the full vibration right below the bottom of the catcher's mask, which is still fully in the strike zone - not on a corner. So the entire pitch aiming system gets shifted down when you throw a curveball.
Once I realized this my WP's started going way down - I still throw too many but they're at least on par with the CPU's now.
It definitely needs tweaking (particularly the slow catcher recovery and throw). But people shouldn't be throwing 3-4 WP's a game. There has be at least some user accountability for this, I think.
