MLB The Show 18 Patch 1.11 Update Full Changelog

MLB The Show 18 patch 1.11 update is now available for download. According to the official MLB The Show 18 update 1.11 patch notes, the new update has added various quality of life improvements to the game. An issue with outfielders jogging after balls coming to a rest is now fixed. In addition, MLB The Show 18 version 1.11 also includes stability and performance improvements. Check out more details below.

Recently, update 1.10 was released with a big list of changes. The update had made adjustments to the range of PCI movement outside of the strike zone. The players now no longer penalized for quickly re-entering the pause menu in BR games.

MLB The Show 18 update 1.11 Patch Notes

  • Good PCI placement is rewarded more. Specifically, the left/right placement of the PCI is more important now for hit types. Above the PCI will still be a fly ball and below the PCI will still be a groundball, but lining up the PCI accurately left/right will expand the cutoff between a fly ball or a popup more than before. This bonus mainly affects balls directly above or below the center of the PCI. Likewise, it will be much harder to generate a line drive on the extreme left or right of the PCI.
    • Notes: This is a global change to MLB The Show 18 – it impacts both offline and online gameplay, and all modes of play. This fix addresses hit type generation when the PCI is placed well (ball being near the center). Prior to the patch, balls directly above and below the PCI by a small distance were generating weaker than solid hits. With patch 1.11, you are guaranteed good hit type generation when the PCI is centered approximately on the ball. You will see fewer solid hits on the extreme left or right edges of the PCI. For an average skilled user, the bonuses should balance out with the penalties, but a more skilled user will see an increase in offense. The previous PCI diagram that we showed during the gameplay stream is now modified with a greater emphasis on the center. Batter and pitcher attributes, along with the user’s input, are still the most important factors. Also, remember that good hit type results DO NOT guarantee success (you can hit the ball hard and still line out). This is a change that will better separate player skill and better match user inputs with game results. See example below:

Patch 1.11

This is a singular example of how good PCI placement is rewarded more in patch 1.11. In the example from the 1.10 patch, Eric Hosmer generated a ‘hard grounder’ hit type (as noted in the middle line of white debug text to the left of the swing analysis feedback). In the example from the 1.11 patch, Eric Hosmer generated a ‘line drive’ hit type (as noted in the middle line of white debug text). Additionally, if you look at the last line of debug text in the 1.11 patch example, you can see the change in action – Hosmer would have hit a hard grounder, but due to good user input’s, he generated a better hit type (line drive).

  • Fixed an issue with outfielders jogging after balls coming to a rest. This usually occurred when the ball was hit in the gap or after a miss where the outfielder had to chase it down near the wall.
