I'm in the same boat as you guys.

Ball Physics and Revamp Rtts have me buying

Watching the stream I'm beginning to understand what they are trying to do. They are literally holding the casual player's hand and trying to get them to not only enter this mode, but stay there. They literally show them how long an average game takes.

It can be overwhelming for the casual player to first enter this mode and they kind of play around, don't get the result they wanted, and leave for home run derby or DD or whatever.

For many of us, playing only the critical moments and not a full game is blasphemy. But many casual gamers only want to play when it matters.

Plus there are missions to lure the DD guys. Maybe they'll stay.

If enough people enter this mode, and the game sells more copies year over year, maybe Sony will let them hire one more programmer for franchise mode, boosting their manpower 100%.

Or they could move one programmer from DD to Franchise, nah nvm that's crazy.

They said they got DD where they've always wanted it to be this year. Maybe they copy/paste that for 18 and work on franchise.

So with the quirks ... Are they only positive ones? I saw the pickoff specialist and I'm wondering if there is a Jon Lester like one.

I'm honestly really disappointing with the limited changes and I was expecting more.

With that said, of course with one developer you can't expect too much more.

No they said only good ones...

My question is if a player gets a boost on curveballs when will that reflect on the PCI. I am really hoping it just doesn't visually makes it larger. I play with PCI on and if I see it get bigger because the CPU is going to throw a breaking ball that will ruin everything for me.

I assume they wouldn't do that and the larger pci would be in game engine only.
