This sequence, I found it to be a reasonable manager hook (Quick Count Mode) made it the 5th with 72 pitches.

I understand they did this to tune down homeruns and opposite field homeruns but the consequence I'm seeing is it is taking away what used to be base hits. I have fielder reaction set at 2 already and loved finally seeing those "seeing-eye" singles through the infield pre-patch. Lowering ball velocity off the bat on line drive hits or solid contact has taken this away. I will lower this to one the next few games and see how it goes in my franchise!

Yeah I think they've been a bit crude with the way they fixed too many homeruns, but just nerfing the power off the bat of all hits.

I don't speak for everybody, but I don't recall anyone complaining about the speed was travelling off the bat, only that too often the ball was hit far too far. I feel they should have been able to fix that without affecting regular hits. It all feels pretty weedy now, with weak dribblers being the norm. Could they not have just changed the maximum velocity the ball could be hit at and the frequency in which that happened, without changing the regular velocity of the bat? As it felt a hell of a lot better before imo.

I'm not hearing anything different with the bat sound *shrugs*

Played my first QC game in franchise They pulled their starter after 5 1/3 while leading 1-0. As soon as i got hit a hit they pulled him. 68 pitches.
I tried having stamina at 10 and hook at 1 when this happened.
Only a couple games but as far as ball off bat speed I haven't seen an issue but will monitor it as only a couple games.
Also bat sounds seem ok to me but I'm old and stuff. Lol

I really think we can stop talking about the ball off the bat sound being that they are going to fix it and acknowledged that it was a bug. No need to get anyone hot in here over something that is being fixed on the next update.

If it does not bother you that's fine but it's changing back to the way it sounded out of the box.

And Skyboxer I might give you a run for your money as far as being an old fart around these parts! LOL

Yes hitting just felt a whole hell of a lot better pre patch. Lowering power and wind down to 3 fixed homerun issue.

The wind being the biggest factor as I noticed 10mph wind in game moving the ball as if it were 20-25mph winds. Lowering wind slider has greatly reduced homeruns and possibly homerun distances to a lesser extent.

They need to revert the ball velocity off the bat back to what it was before, fix bat sounds back as well. I've never seen a patch from SDS cause other major issues in game before so giving them the benefit of the doubt but cmon...those two things were fine pre patch and now they are a huge game flaw now.

I don't believe I did. At least I don't remember accidentally hitting anything.

I'll play some games tonight so I get a feel for it in actual game situations, but I can still hit the same 118-119 MPH 500 ft bombs with Giancarlo in practice that I could pre-patch. So I'm not as sold on the overall hitting physics being changed as you guys are. I feel like that's really hard to determine in 2 days since the release no matter how much you play with how much variance there is in this game (as in real baseball).

JMO.

I do agree the sound is different, and probably unintended. And there's no point talking about that since they're going to patch it again.
