Hitting & Gameplay balance changes coming
On top of the various fixes and few changes made in Game Update 10, Sony San Diego also included a note about some future changes on the horizon.
"There are no hitting or gameplay balance changes in this update, however, we have been following the feedback and hope to have some adjustments made to contact hitting (and more) in future updates."
There's been some criticism within the player community about the difficulty or lack thereof in hitting, especially when using contact swings.
While they didn't tip off exactly what changes are coming, they could end up making a major impact on the game as a whole with hitting being core to every facet of the title.
