MLB The Show 20 received a new update this week. Among general bug fixes and game improvements, Update 1.13 also introduces a new Swing Analysis Window.
MLB The Show 20 Update 1.13
Update 1.13 looks to assist players with understanding where they can improve when up to bat. In a nutshell, the idea is to present more essential information to the user in one convenient place.
According to devs, the old Swing Analysis Window lacked critical information to properly inform players. A lot of important information remained scattered throughout different sections of the user interface and menus. This ultimately resulted in confusion and misinterpretation.
With the new Swing Analysis Window, SIE hopes to assist users with understanding the context of information in relation to the result. There are many inputs determining any play result, so SIE focused on covering the most essential information in an intuitive way.
The new window features:
- New batter’s handedness, Contact, Power, and Vision
- Improved user’s swing timing input with a precision scale visualization
- Pitch Location with Pitch Type and Speed
- User’s plate coverage input
- Ballpark and wind occasionally impact the play result
- Launch angle in degrees
- Exit Velocity at bat-ball contact
- Contact Result generalization
- Scorebook result

In addition, Update 1.13 adds two new updates in Battle Royale. First, all BR entries are free until June 26.

This change will also be in effect for the Summer Circuit tournament.
