Two things. One, I dont see anything wrong with comparing Ambush to guess pitch but I would go further and say its an advanced better version of guess pitch.

Second, I dont see any reason it should be a fad. Theres no reason to remove it or guess pitch. Just keep it optional and let the individual decide if they want to use either or not.

i still can't figure out what it does, the pci size stays the same weather i guess right or wrong.

Unless I’m missing something, guess pitch was not removed. I use it in the Show 25, in my franchise. In fact I don’t use ambush hitting at all. There is a feature to turn off or on guess pitch, just like there is for ambush hitting. Again, maybe I’m missing the point of this article.

It's not supposed to change the PCI if you guess right or wrong.

If you set an inside ambush, mover your PCI between inside and outside before you even have a pitch. The PCI gets bigger when it's inside the Ambush area, and smaller than your baseline PCI when it's NOT in the Ambush zone.

The idea is you set the Ambush if you think the pitch is coming inside, and if it does you also get the timing window buff.

If you set up inside BUT swing at a pitch outside, you have a tiny PCI and I assume shorter time window.
