It reminds me of the video I saw of the guy playing nba live elite(pre release)who mastered the shot meter and couldn’t miss. Sometimes video games need roll of the dice interference. I’m not gonna jump off a bridge after one game though and even if it persists I’ll try Armors suggestion of lowering slider. Just reporting my initial results.

I agree - I'm not convinced that I won't have to lower sliders to balance out my offensive output after this change - as a zone user I'm smack in the middle of who they made this change for. But I also think that the PCI results being more "true" with what you'd expect will make it easier to find what I need to adjust (if anything) quicker. I can trust what's going on with the bottom half of the PCI as legitimate contact now, instead of just assuming anything hit there is going to be a ground ball.

BTW, if this does affect the CPU in any way, I haven't seen it yet. Through 2 games on Legend and one on AS (because the new POTM program doesn't count a win over HOU on anything but AS despite what it says ) it hasn't shown any signs of things being out of whack with its offense. I had a nice game where I struck out 7 and walked 4 on Legend en route to a 5-0 CGSO in one of those, and the other was a 4-3 win in 12 innings where I tied it in the 9th with a solo HR. I struck out a whopping 14 in that game. Both of those were on Legend.

Probably going to get some RTTS time tonight, because that's where I should really be able to feel the differences (if any) in this patch.
