And just for reference, that's for Jonathan schoop, who is not a good contact hitter.

This is for Christian Stewart, the #9 hitter on the Detroit Tigers. He hit. 233 last year with a - 0.3 WAR.
I think they went a touch overboard here.

Its always been that way. I don't have a still photo, but here's a game I broadcasted a month ago against the Mets, the PCI is the same as it is now.



PCI in reference photo is Ian Rice

I've found the game to be very frustrating since this latest patch. I have a lot of warning track flyouts while the CPU gets very cheap hits. I also am finding my pitchers missing middle/middle a ton. I would honestly prefer to see the CPU squaring up balls to get hits rather than weak ground balls directly over third base while my defense is shifted (every time). Manual baserunning is awful and the CPU guns out runners at a ridiculous rate. I still think this is the best baseball game ever made by far, but still is a little frustrating at times.

Unfortunately, patch 1.11 has not come close to fixing the auto cancel/runners freezing randomly on AB as it suggested. The darn thing even cancels on a foul ball, which I have no idea how you manually do that when the ball is not in play and no one is on base.

And yes...way too many base hits to opposite field on shifted defense. The reason shifted defense works IRL because the hitter with extreme pull tendency actually pulls the ball. In the game (and this is a legacy issue), no matter how much you pitch the hitter inside, he still pushes the ball to the opposite field. And if you throw outside, he lines it to opposite field. I hope this AI gets corrected with the new engine because it is a problem that is unrealistic.

Anytime SDS drops a patch that fixes online stuff all you see in these threads are “ wow my pitcher is struggling “ “ wow first game patch and I only got 4 hits” using patch notes to blame baseball being baseball. Our offline games are playing the same before the new patch dropped.

5 games in, it's definitely different.
