I seriously struggle hitting online. I'm awesome off line. Kill all star and hall of fame. But I can't seem to catch up with pitches online. Whiff at breaking balls and constantly behind the fast ball. Suggestions? I refuse to use a monitor and separating myself from from my family and friends. Is this game impossible for online play on a smart tv or is it just me?
just takes a lot of time and practice, much like real baseball. Start with placing your pci where you struggle, for example high or inside pitches. Once you get that timing down then you'll be better and hitting outside and low pitches. Also use practice mode and pick a tough pitcher and put the difficulty one step higher from what you're playing.
P.s. take the first strike initially. If you're opponent knows you are flailing he'll pitch balls all day long. Pick your zone and wait.... its perfectly fine striking out looking. Also pay attention to the fatigue and confidence meyer of the pitcher. The more balls and pitches it goes down and leads to more mistakes. If you're swinging at everything the opposite happens. Keep at it and you'll figure it out and when you do its very rewarding.

I beat the CPU pretty much every time on All-Star, sometimes by double digit runs. I suck on online All-Star. Can't catch up to anything and it just frustrates me to no end.

Online play is completely different. Settings are different or the connection causes it to be wonky. I won most my games, but some games it feels so different. RNG is annoying but I feel like the better player wins. The RNG gets you when you play vs players with similar skill most of the time.

I recently switched to a monitor and let me tell you it makes a huge diffrence especially online hitting. Theres a faster response time so swings are on time. In 3-4 days time i went 7-2 on the BB event and 4-1 in RS.
This is what I was afraid of. Honestly was hoping it was some sort of setting i needed to alter lol. Well atleast I know I'm not horrible lol. Maybe one day I'll come around to the monitor side. Until then, hope you match up with me online lol
Look up Bsnype on psn and send me a friend requset and @ me
Forsure I will later. I ordered kontrol freaks btw and they never came. They ended up just refunding me. Was pretty frustrated about that .

I'll definetly have to try this thanks. Its gotta just be my timing. Sure a monitor would help, but hopefully I cam figure put a way to adjust to a smart tv.

I am a console gamer, I refuse to play on monitor. To play before my tv is the main reason I have PS4. At least I bought new Samsung tv, which has some better gaming mode, but still not comparable with pc monitors. So playing on tv is still huge disadvantage.
I wish SDS could do something about it, cause The Show is console game -
Monitor over Tv helps but something I completely overlooked was a PS4 controller where the analog sticks aren't tight. My controller broke and using a new controller where they're so stiff is so hard to catch up for me. Lost about 12 games to really bad teams but getting used to it a bit although just getting by.

But crush the ball on all star and hof. Gonna try and adjust to the online speed and see if that works. Something has got to give.

I can't waite to use the new xbox style for the ps4. I feel like the positioning of the joysticks would help aswell.

I also use a smart TV in game setting. I get about 75% of my RS games are near impossible to catch a good fastball. I was looking at monitors last weekend and decided the price for a decent one is not worth it, because I would only need it for this game. I really like the concept
and DD mode in this game, but if I can't enjoy online games... there's no point in grinding or anything. I hope they fix it someday, but for now I guess I'm going back to madden next month and toss the show in the trash. I have zero issues in madden with lag... why is this game so b
ad online? Why dont they fix it? -

Here I am thinking I was doing great, then. Today the ball dies at the track and I keep losing to guys hitting Texas leaguers. This game has to screw you. I’ve hit an unreal amount of balls to the track today. It’s like they nerf your bat sometimes
