    Started the new season, one the first game and got up to 740something

    Next game, match up with someone in the 600s and the gameplay just totally shifts going from HOF to AS

    I don’t understand why we can’t just choose to play on HOF (or whatever difficulty) in Ranked and match up against opponents that also chose that difficulty

    Sick of playing ranked on all star when everything is essentially a dice roll.

    Let us choose our difficulty in ranked next year

    Disagree. I think there should be only 1 speed. Changes from difficulty to difficulty should only affect the PCI and pitching accuracy.

    Getting around the 700 mark is the worst. You have no idea what difficulty you are gonna be playing on and it really messes with your timing from game to game.

    Nah I kinda like it how it is. The only thing I would add is if the game would tell what the other persons rating is, not just their record.

    I agree with you 100%!! One universal pitch speed!!!

    Whether I’m playing on all star or hall of fame, I would like for the timing window for a 95mph fastball be exactly the same as the timing window for the next 95 mph fastball. I can adjust to the differences of speeds between levels, but I cannot adjust if it varies from pitch to pitch.

    And knowing SDS, that speed would be all-star

    Sure in theory, one universal speed sounds amazing, but no way they'd make it HoF and I'd hate it if the only speed was all-star. Like I'd probably hate it enough to barely play.

    Imo just copy/paste the speed from 15 and its perfect.

    Or even if they could bridge the gap between HoF and AS, it would be better. Having 3 different speeds to adjust to is too much.

    Meh, there would still be plenty of people up in arms about it.

    People already complain now that they shouldn't have to have monitors to react to pitches.

    You have people like us that complain AS is to slow,

    There are three groups of players.

    1. the lower-ranked ones that cannot compete it the pitch speed was any faster.

    2. The people in the middle like me who hate AS, but can't compete on legend

    3. The absolute goons who can hit anywhere along the line and dominate in legend.

    There is no way to make all three groups happy if there is one speed, changing would just ultimately make on or two groups mad, so I doubt SDS changes anything to the formula of three different pitch speeds in ranked.

    I'm looking at it from a practical view, I selfishly would love HoF to be standard.

    I've been saying this forever. If a pitch is coming at you at 100 mph its coming at the same speed if you're in Class A or the MLB. Its just going to be harder to hit in the MLB, its not all of a sudden coming in at 120 mph.

    Just try to hit it!! If can't you strike out, if you're successful, you hit a home run. That's the main rule of directional.

    Pitch speed and timing windows are the same car but with different paint imo.

    Or better yet, have the difficulty level set based on the higher ranked team by default.

    If I was a 600 player going up against 700 or higher, I wouldn't mind and actually prefer playing on HOF.

    Pitch speed and timing windows are the same car but with different paint imo.

    Please elaborate. Shrinking windows forces you to have better timing rather than just be quicker.

    Edit: I think I see what you mean. If you increase the window, you are effectively slowing the pitch by allowing it to be hit well later in its path.

    Thats pretty much it. If it takes 2 seconds to reach the plate, and in all star takes 1.75 seconds to react with perfect input, then you have 1.75 seconds to react. If on HoF it takes 1.5 seconds to react with perfect input. Then you've essentially increased the speed forcing quicker reaction to get the best results.

    Obviously those numbers are for examples sake, but you get the idea. Same car, different color.

    @ikasnu I still think it would be a net positive tho. Because if you have good timing at lower difficulty, you have no adjustment period when increasing difficulty. The only adjustment would have to be made by those using the wider window as a crutch. Which seems fine to me.

    The way it is, EVERYBODY has to re-adjust when going up in difficulty. This is the source of our frustration with differing pitch speeds by difficulty. Widening the window with universal speeds eliminates that problem, IF you have good timing the whole time (which good players who are able to move up in difficulty generally do).
