Lol @ fixing exit velocity in late September.

Intrigued by HR/9 change

Can’t wait to see the fall intro video. I’m enjoying those videos

So... a pitchers probability of giving up a homer has been dictating the physics of ball speed this whole time? That's what it sounds like. The odds of giving up a home run and purposely not letting balls carry fast, hard or far are two totally different things. Hopefully this change makes the game play like it's supposed too, although this whole time I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary if I'm honest.

I don't think the pitchers HR/9 rating has been solely dictating the exit velocity off bats, but was rather part of the equation/formula used.

So a feature that made this game unique from many others in the series is either reduced or gone completely. Fantastic.

Honestly though, I don't think it'll impact offline play too much because there aren't many players at the franchise mode level that have extremely high HR/9, and it needed to be pretty high to actually see a consistent difference in exit velocities. It'll affect DD pretty significantly as many of the top-line pitchers DO have high HR/9 (and they were probably being used by just about everyone at this point in the year).

I just don't like this caving to community pressure - it sets a bad precedent even if the impact on this game offline turns out to be minor.

Edit: Cubs highlights (especially Baez) in the Fall intro are making me sad right now.

Yikes, that could change gameplay dramatically. I do not feel like hitting needed a change, especially this late into the year.

I’m just waiting for someone to post that they ‘ruined the game’ because they hit two HRs in an inning...

In all seriousness though, I think bcruise is right....only a tiny number of players in franchise modes have high enough HR/9 numbers to be affected by this.
