    Im so confused on how to hit online.
    Sometimes I think I have perfect PCI placement and then the feedback has me nowhere close.
    Other times I wait and then I swing and the ball is in the glove when my guy swings.
    What really puzzles me is that when I do move my PCI and think Im right on it the feedback has me dead center, it's almost like it froze.
    I'll never understand how zone works online.
    I watch the YouTube's and it's so fluid, when I do it, I can't get the [censored] close at all.
    Nobody has ever been able to explain online hitting in a logical way that makes any sense to me.

    I swear when I watch an online video it looks like it’s slow motion for them.

    Exactly, it just doesn't translate. I get lag, response time, all that, but to consistently be this bad is very confusing.

    I’ve noticed this too. Surely it’s something in the video processing or it’s just the way it looks through YouTube. Could you imagine if it was actually that slow for them in real life? Maybe they do have that “magic internet” everybody covets.

    I know this won’t be popular but I don’t give a F about my record. If I can tell my hits are just nerfed not going anywhere whatever you want to call it. I just quit. Go to the next game. I can only play maybe 2-3 games a day. I don’t have the time or energy to put up with the lag bull sheet that comes with RS games.. or the bull RnG for that matter. I am .312 batting avg online for the season online. Honestly this makes my life a lot easier and much less frustrating. I don’t care about getting WS I’m good with stubs and can buy whoever I want so. Just my two cents.

    I agree, I don't care about my record either because I will never be a WS player, but if I hit 312, I would be, I think anyway. Im a . 176 and 18 K a game for the reasons I stated, so you must be doing something right. I'd love to know your hitting approach.

    I believe he meant to say that .312 is his win % online

    It seems lately I can't get more than 4 hits a game. I think the game feels bad for me and gives me a couple hits in the late innings. Tearing it up at.234 this year. My problem is pitch recognition

    Im pretty much done with this game. It seems it only reserved for the best hitters, whatever that is. I've tried everything.
    Striking out 18 times a game and not being competetive is no fun. Yeah I've built a great team through collections, stubs, flipping, etc. That's all good but if you can't use the cards to their max potential, what's the point, I might as well have 26 commons in my lineup, it's the same thing.

    Did you try directional? I have the same exact problem you do with the PCI just not moving in time when playing online.

    A monitor helps a lot. I started playing on a 55 inch TV, had the same issues. Switched to a monitor and its night and day. Also , and I haven't experimented with this yet, but I believe the vision attribute is much more important than peeps think.

    The better the vision attribute is, the greater the timing widow is according to SDS.

    Yeah I have a monitor. It just boils down to I can't recognize pitches online for some reason. There is no rhyme or reason. I hit just fine offline. Play on HOF and Legend for moments and no issues.
    I swing at everything and when I don't and exercise the take pitches approach it's worse. Im just done with DD and this game overall. Tired of beating my head against this wall.

    Idk man, only other thing I can tell you is to be patient and focus on good at bats. Its also very important not to give your opposing pitcher confidence and part of the game is to wear him down and get him fatigued. Try not swinging until you get 2 strikes for the first 3 innings and really study your opponents pitching tendencies. Also watch cbrev on YouTube.

    I meant I’m batting .312 online. So I can hit. I just don’t like to deal with lag or RNG in this game. So I quit games a lot

    Doesn’t help when you play trolls that throw high and inside sinkers every other pitch. The sinker in this game is so flawed it’s actually laughable.
