With the onset of the new baseball season, Baseball Clash brings exciting news in this latest patch. This time, significant changes are happening in the outfield. Let's delve into the details of what's changing.
Let’s go!
Changes to Outfielders
1. Outfield Throwing Adjustment
With this balance patch, the gap between outfielders with high and low throwing stats will now be more pronounced.
Outfielders with high throwing stats can still make direct throws as before, while those without will mostly resort to relays. Additionally, the disparity in throwing speed will be accentuated, underscoring the significance of outfielders' throwing stats.
2. Default Outfield Position Adjustment
(Old default outfielder position)
(New default outfielder position)
Outfielders' default positions are now shifting slightly towards the fence. In the previous setup, positions were closer to 'forward defense,' occasionally resulting in slow runners being thrown out at first base – a scenario not uncommon in actual baseball. In response, outfielders' default positions have been moved closer to the fence.
3. Relay Position Improvement
(Old relay position)
(New relay position)
The fielder relaying the ball will now move closer to the outfielders to receive it. This adjustment increases the distance between them and the outfielders, addressing awkward relay moments near the bases.
Balance Changes of Outfielders
- Annie
The speed boost effect of Annie's skill will be slightly reduced. Her overwhelming popularity in almost every match necessitates a restraint on her explosive speed to allow for the use of other starting outfielders.
- Ruth
Ruth, like Annie, has exhibited high usage rates. However, an issue arose where Ruth could score even after passing home plate due to an acrobatic jump. Henceforth, if he initiates the jump too close to home plate, the skill will not activate. Well-timed throws can prevent his jump.
- Christine
Christine possesses an excellent skill that enhances her speed in scoring positions, allowing her to swiftly reach home plate. Despite this, she is not as popular as expected. In this update, her skill will be improved to expedite her journey home when in scoring positions.
- Joe
Joe, a player with high fielding stats, ensures a quick start but has the fewest appearances in the lineup. To provide more starting opportunities, Joe's skill efficiency has been significantly increased.
- Phoenix
Despite widespread use, Phoenix's skill efficiency is notably lower compared to other players. To hone in on base stealing, her skill abilities will be slightly enhanced.
- Russell
The team's mood-maker, Russell, possesses speed and is a strong hitter in scoring situations. To balance his skills with other players, his skill abilities have been increased, emphasizing his strength in scoring situations.
Other Changes
- Fernandez
Due to significant controversy among users since Fernandez's release and high usage rates, his skill effects will be toned down as the initial step in balancing. The development team plans to continuously monitor Fernandez performance even after the patch in case it needs a new review.
- Meiling
An issue was identified where Meiling's skill effects were abnormally applied in specific situations. This problem has been fixed.
That concludes the details of this in-game balance patch. The development team hopes this patch will enhance outfield player diversity, allowing you to experience a broader range of gameplay.
