No, I'm hitting like .200 in Ranked Seasons. I'm not kidding. I get by on my pitching.
Doesn't matter how good your pitching is if you have good internet. You will be throwing slow pitch softball to these top players with their "magic" internet.
I’ve seen a lot of your posts and agree that internet connection plays a huge part in how the game plays online.
I have fiber with 1000 up and a 1000 down. I know the PlayStation limits this to something much lower. In your opinion do you think I’d be better off going back to WiFi ?
For what it’s worth I’m not bad, but I want the best experience possible.
pS we better be able to see our opponents ping before the start of a game on next gen or I’m going to be pissed. I sit at 25-27
I know my game plays a little better on t-mobile hot spot > wireless > wired (wired is the worst experience). IMO, to have the best experience you want to have a ping around 100 in other games. In PUBG, I have 30 wired and wireless and 60 on hot spot which is still better than most gamers. All speculation since I don't have all the numbers available to me. Let me guess, you have games where you can't react to 95 then some games you can turn on it easily.
Don't pay any attention to Mitch. He has that "magic" internet. If you were to play 100 games at your house and 100 games at Mitch's, you would see a noticeable difference.
Again, I have never or never will claim to be a top player in this game. I just want 95 to look like 95 every game. If I go 100-10 or 10-100, I don't care. I just want a fair game with a level playing field. You simply can't match me in the center of the U.S. with fiber against someone in Florida on wireless and expect it to be a smooth game. I understand as a small company they need to go peer to peer for money purposes but they need ping indicators and better match making. I would rather wait 5 minutes for a smooth, fair game than getting one in 10 seconds where the ball is warping everywhere.
Lemme ask u this. Internet doesn’t impact offline play right? If it doesn’t, then why can I put up a really good score on cotw? That’s a single player mode. That can’t be cuz of my internet. Do u just assume everyone who’s good at the game has bad internet?
Its about picking up tendencies. If youre consistently late or early on pitches a human will pick up on that, cpu not necessarily
That isn’t my point at all.. I think I do fine against real pitchers. My point is that if I’m good cuz of my internet then why are my basic skills including timing and pci placement still just as good offline? My hitting online isn’t cuz of internet, it’s cuz I’ve played a lot and gotten better at reading pitches and placing the pci consistently.
Who said you were not good? This game is a combination of skills and connections. If you have skills and a certain internet, you can be elite. I said you would probably still be good but you would need to make adjustments. You probably still make WS at my house if I made CS. I do not think you could be a top 50 player at my house. You would lose more games and more games would be close. Like usual, you guys are misconstruing what I am saying. Connections make a difference in this game and if you don't think so I can't say anything to make you feel different.
Why do you think Battlefield had to change what they did because at one time OOR (out of region) players with large pings would come into the servers, wrecking everyone and sponging bullets? Connections play a huge role in online games. Skill helps too. You can have a good connection and no skill and be better than you should be or have skill and bad connections and not be as good as you should.
It truly baffles me that people (especially SDS) can't see that this is a major problem in the game and hasn't been addressed. It should have been addressed years ago with the technology that we have.
If you think connection is how good players are good you clearly looked those big words up lol

Never said you were not a good player. Same as even if ping indicators and better match making was done pitching_rebel would more than likely still be a really good player and adjust to the new settings. I don't think he would be 220-20 or so but I do think he would see some more losses and closer games. You act like I think I would be the number one player in the world if these things were implemented. No, I would not. Not even close but it would be refreshing to play a game where it feels like you are on a level playing field regardless of the outcome.
I want to see you play him...top 50 player 6 times, 2 time BR 12-0 this year, challenge of the week winner, and a friend of mine so I know he is good.
Once again, I don't know how to say this any clearer. I never said he wasn't good or wouldn't be if this stuff wasn't implemented.
I can tell you one thing for sure. If we played 10 games at our own houses, he would mercy me 10 times very quickly. If we were to play 10 times in the same house with a LAN line, he would more than likely still win all 10 but the games would be much closer.

You have a 500 record and all the sudden you will have a close game against Mitch who has been a top 50 player 6 times lol and won challenge of the week act

Alr I have another question for you, Demise. If I have “magic internet” that gives me an advantage, why am I one of the worst pitchers in the game? If my opponents were getting 110 mph fastballs, which is what you’ve described in the past, I would have a very low ERA. My era is 8.44 this szn. No way my opponents are at a disadvantage and I still have such an awful era

This is where I disagree with you. Have you seen rebel play? He is elite because of how good his pci placement is. He’s also hard wired btw, along
with every single top player ik. I’m also hard wired. If anything, ping based matchmaking would make the top players stand out even more and mediocre players such as yourself worse. You mention a more even playing field. That would separate those with elite pci placement even more. They’re not there cuz of their internet, they’re there cuz of skill.So be it if that is the case but I don't think it is. Maybe one day we'll be lucky enough to find out. I could literally point out 10+ times a game both ways where connection affects the game play. Pitching, defense, hitting and baserunning are all affected. More people than you think can take losses if they feel they were beaten fair and square. SDS could eliminate a lot of connection miscues in this game if they wanted to. It would probably result in more people playing and spending more money.

Regardless of connections, you are still facing really skilled players at that level. Being a top 50 player, it is fair to say most of your games are against highly skilled players. Maybe you don't mix pitches or locations.
So you think everybody sees the same thing every game? You think 95 is 95 every game? I can promise you it is not. I'm not going to take the time but say Wood is pitching. One game you are lighting him up and the next you simply can't catch up to it. If you did a side by side video of those pitches, you would see a difference in how fast they arrive at the plate.

With prestige Mantle I’m hitting over .400. Babe is still over .500. Most of my guys are over .300. The only guys I actually play that aren’t batting over .300 are Mike Schmidt and Rogers Hornsby so far.
For anyone struggling in this dept, get a decent monitor if you don’t have one. It’s worth it if you play this game year round. Makes the online experience a much better time.
Also, don’t play online when you’re tired late at night. That’s the time of day that’s good for offline grinding if you have stuff left.

I don’t have one top 50 this year and I’ve only made ws once, so that point is irrelevant. Also, I’m not saying there aren’t connection issues. Obv there are. My gripe with your argument is that you think the elite players benefit from connection issues. They don’t. Like I said before every top player ik of is hard wired, including myself. You seem to think that every top player is as good as they are because they have an Internet advantage. That’s just not the case.

@D_e_m_I_s_E i think we should play a 9 innings legend friendly. We should both stream. That way we could look at a side by side comparison and see if the issues you’re referencing actually exist. I’m really curious to see how those “110 mph fastballs” look

You’re an idiot or a troll or both; the reason you play better on mobile hotspot is because your upload speed sucks and lags the other player. You can have 100G download speed, if your opponent’s upload is bad, you’ll suffer not the other way around.

I had to play a prestige 100 player at ranked level 450. I’m sitting there like how in the world does that happen.

Hitting on AS is too easy, and hitting on HoF is just a tad bit too difficult for most. I wish Ranked Seasons played somewhere in between.
If having to choose between the two modes as they are, though, and I prefer HoF.
I play my offline franchise on Legend and I absolutely rake. So I think there is a difference between H2H and offline.
I agree about there being a difference in online and offline, but I think it's because the CPU pitches in the zone much more than most online people pitchers are willing to.

That could certainly factor in. But I also think the timing windows in H2H are smaller, and the pitch speeds are faster. The CPU cannot sneak a 102mph fastball by me on Legend, but I’m frequently late on a 96mph when facing an actual person. It could be in my head or how I approach at-bats in each situation, but it certainly feels the way I described it.

I think the CPU pitches our batters as if they're real characters with their real career stats. Online pitchers can pitch an entire online lineup like they're being controlled by the same brain, because they are. The CPU pitcher doesn't know how long it's been since the human opponent took a walk.

A timing window is the amount of time you have to swing the bat and be rewarded with “perfect” timing. The lower the level, or playing offline, the bigger that window is.

What does you're pitching record/era look like in AS? What does you're typical AS game look like? I'm having a hell of a time getting out of AS level. It seems like some of my opponents hit everything hard, even off the plate stuff that kind of seems like it should be very difficult to hit.

If you want to boost your avg and your below 700 probably just as well playing RS.
