MLB The Show 21 Game Update 17 PS4: 1.17 PS5: 1.017 Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S: 1.0.0.87 Scheduled to deploy: October 5th at 4:00 AM PT
Gameplay
The PCI range and sensitivity has been increased to reach the corners of the zone. This is most noticeable on Hall of Fame and Legend difficulties.
Increased the difficulty for Pinpoint Pitching on Competitive Settings and Legend difficulty (in all modes). The gesture, release timing and direction now have a less lenient criteria for ‘Good’ and ‘Perfect’ pitches when using competitive gameplay style settings.
From the devs: After reviewing the feedback and data since UPDATE 11, we believe Pinpoint is still a little bit too easy right now in a competitive setting. Like before, this change will make the timing window for “Good” and “Perfect” slightly more difficult to achieve.
Challenge of The Week
Fixed the stats displayed for Shohei Ohtani and Ramon Laureano in the pre-game screen.
Miscellaneous/UI
Players now display the correct MLB Stats in the Player Cards and on Score Bug in Exhibition Live Roster games.
Fixed a bug where settings would reset (including Dynamic Difficulty) when players would exit an offline game.
