How heck would someone be worse on PS5? Makes no since when considering higher refresh rate than PS4, which has been proven to help people see the ball. This makes me think issue is not PS5 and that SDS adjusted sliders or something on backend.

My thoughts exactly but every comment on here is how I’ve experienced it too. Facing DeGrom on HOF I felt if I didn’t swing the very split second on his release on a FB I would be late.
I also noticed I was consistently “too late” not “late” or “very late” but overwhelming consistent on “too late” as if my timing was skewed 2 notches towards late. I’m generally a just early or early swinger on HOF.

Kinda in the same boat as you. I’ve won three of my last four games but not once did I have more than 8 hits which is extremely low for me. I faced Lamet yesterday and was late on every single fastball he threw and he doesn’t even have outlier. It’s either I’m having a major slump or aomething is off. I was doing fine in the events. RS is the problem.
I’m downloading an update on the PS4 live and will try a game there, just to see if there’s a difference or if I just need a break

First game on PS4 in two weeks, just beat an absolute goon (he was 90-11). Walked it off in the 9th 5-4 but it was a pitchers duel. Sucks I couldn’t judge pitch speeds since he threw Kershaw/Miller/Rollie at me. None of them have high velo.
Did make me notice how choppy the game was though compared to the PS5. Might be why pitches are easier to judge? Idk

Straight to the point this game is now imo unplayable and all fun is sucked out.
Haven’t played in a couple days and just tried an event game. Wanted to really see how my opponent would react. Played a team Puerto Rico player and he struck out 12 out of 18 times striking out 12 of the first 14. I struck out 8 times. His one and only hit was a single on a pitch right down the middle on a gassed arm of DeGrom. Nobody could touch a FB and you could tell my opponent was only sitting FB because any breaking ball he was extremely early on and when I’d throw a FB which was majority of my pitches he still couldn’t touch it.
There was a moment he paused for 30 seconds or so in the 5th and I believe he could have switched to directional as he started fouling way more [censored] off. The only reason I won was first pitch of the game I was expecting a FB it was a slider and it wa[censored] early for a HR. Nobody got another hit til the 4th. He then got into serious trouble with walks and I hit a blooper to score a few more.
This is not FUN. What the heck is going on? I can tell it’s not just me as the way my opponents are suffering and the comments on this thread alone. The game is now unplayable online.

I just don’t know anymore. Some guy I was playing was early on every single fastball I threw with DeGrom. Like I literally had to throw only offspeed because he was punishing every fastball thrown. While I’m having a hard time catching up to 98+.
Is it a slider thing? PS5 thing? Combination of other things? I’m at a loss

I can’t say if it’s a PS5 thing for sure but my slump started when I got my ps5. This was actually my first online win on a PS5. Some have claimed switching back to their PS4 and they play good again. Have zero way of knowing if my opponent had a 5 but he was flailing bad! The only clue I could grasp to is he chose to play in rain and it’s also a MLB park. I’ve heard guys with the 5 will play in MLB parks with rain to gain an advantage because the 4 plays terrible in those conditions and the 5 is smooth.
I should go out to my living room and fire up the 4 on my big screen with no game mode and see how I play.

So I did just that, I went out a fired up the PS4 and here is the result.
After a two rough innings adjusting to the completely different setup from my main setup, event game I scored 7 runs and 10 hits in 4 innings until my opponent quit.
Mind you I’m playing on a PS4 6 yr old 65” tv on movie mode (was not on game mode) with a WiFi connection.
My current main setup is a PS5, 27” BenQ 1ms response monitor with a high speed LAN line direct into the console.
The game I just played like I said took a few ab to get the timing down but I never felt over matched. I could read the ball it was just a matter of when to swing. I also noticed when I was figuring it out my feedback was late or very late not the consistent too late like before.
I believe I had 3 perfects all on FB and once I got locked in it was consistent good at bats. I never felt overwhelmed like I do playing the PS5.
This is absolutely crazy and shows me something is up. I basically had one of the worst setups for online play and did waaay better than the last 5 plus games with a great setup.
Side note: Wow the PS4 version looks terrible compared to the 5.

Yesterday I played alot because of recouping from some health issues and I specifically paid attention to the feedback and only used high heat pitchers. It was comical because a vast majority of the guys I faced I spammed high heat to the point they had to know it was coming and it they were still late. Heck, I was still last more times than not when using contact swing. I don't think it is your PS5.

When did you get/use your PS5? I feel like people started noticing these differences when the current event came out.

I started using it a week or so ago so yeah it could just be a coincidence but I just played a game on my 4 again and absolutely crushed.

One other thing I just noticed. On the PS5 I can choose game resolution. Faster, balanced, or Sharper. You have to choose one, there is no such option on my PS4 base. Does the pro have this?

Doesn’t seem to matter for me but faster is for competition play and sharper is for best visuals.

Faster would be 720p or 1080i? Mines set to auto

I think there's only 1 viable fix for this; you need to sell your PS5. I'll give you the retail price for it and cover shipping costs.
I'll do this but pitch in an extra $50.
