Question for consistant WS players
-
For The Show 20, I’ve bought a monitor, a tournament stick, gaming glasses, and I bought the rubber replacement joystick from an Atari 2600 that I have attached to the top of a kontrol freak. All this has made me maybe a fraction better. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to throw a sinker down the middle that I aimed up and in and lose on a walk off three run jack.

I simply git gud

I got a monitor

I got a monitor. It helped me get over 700 but not worth it for me. I sit at my desk 10 hours a day I dont want to do that all weekend as well

That makes sense.

I just use a monitor but I play it in RTS mode not the FPS mode and feel it better that way dont know why. Also when hitting I need to have same sitting angle in my chair and distance from the monitor otherwise I struggle.

I missed ws. By one out. I use a $80 Walmart tv. Haha

Do you guys ever make any physical modifications to your TV to try and improve your game play? As an example, using painters tape to line up the strike zone so you can always see the inside/outside of the zone?
Curious to know.
You played this game for a long time and your sample question was that? lol, you know that isnt possible to put painters tape over each players strike zone. You would run out of pause time.

Painters tape?? LOL! I’ve never heard of that but feel bad for the poor chap who does.
I play at Oak Street. It’s aesthetically nice to look at but also the batter’s eye is pretty much the width of the strike zone on Strike Zone view. Same can be said of Shippett so that helps a ton.
If I’m away team, I focus on a visual cue in the outfield to gauge where to strike zone is
Love that stadium at night. Definitely my go to the past 2 seasons.

Just inside/outside.

Considering the strike zone changes for every player depending on the height of that player. You better hope you’re either fast with painters tape or get a lot more pause time added to the game. Somethings people come up with instead of practicing and playing the game.

I’d think that placing tape on the edges of the zone would be hella distracting. And if the ball had any lateral break, it could completely disappear behind the tape right? Backdoor sliders would be impossible to hit

I have noticed if im even slightly tired or if my mind is on something else i will not play well. You really have to be 100% focused in the game. So when im tired i just run around Apex

Facts, when you're too tired for a RS it's best to just do moments/conquest and if you're tired in general you'll end up closing the game w/ no harm done
-
I know a good chunk of consistent WS actually turn the strikezone off. AND the PCI off for that matter. They just want less on their screen to distract them. By now, you know where the strikezone and PCI are; physically seeing them won't change anything.
I guess the only exception is the height of the strikezone changing based on the height of the player. In which case the painters tape would be rendered useless.

I think they just mean the inside and outside part of the zone but I totally agree. Doing that tape stuff is pretty pathetic to me. If you want to get better then practice just like in anything else in life.

Dude I play my best after play time with the wife and that is no joke. Might have to wear her down to make WS. I don't know if its the adrenaline, or if I'm more relaxed afterwards, but it is literally night and day as far as my play goes.

Lmao, I've experienced the same thing. I think it's a mental/hormonal thing, after being w/ her and sitting down to play a video game you realize how insignificant the video game actually is versus what actually matters lol. I feel more relaxed and just play rather than anxious/not wanting to lose, cause if you lose so what? You have what matters at home. Lol.
