It's weird that you're having those problems. I'm in ottawa, I play regularly vs a buddy in a few different games and never have any lag at all. He lives in Florida.

Try playing online from Scotland. It’s hard work!

Probably out of luck man. I wish though. I remember playing MVP baseball online back in the day, and you could see yours and potential opponents ping. But that was the early stages of online gaming. Now they have started to overlook all that kind of stuff and you can match up with someone on the other side of the planet playing on their "neighborhood shared internet". And of course the person with the better connection pays the price because they have to allow your connection to match theirs.
I still have a hard time buying into this. I down graded my internet last year when I moved. Fibre isn’t available yet, so I have very average internet. I didn’t become better, and the gameplay didn’t either. Both became significantly worse, not my opponent.
I immediately went from a .330 hitter to a .270 hitter. I went from being a .800 win rate player to less than .500
Bad internet = In game advantage doesn’t really add up when you’ve actually downgraded internet speeds. It’s a completely different game on average internet.

These threads with people saying im from somewhere in the us and i get matched up from someone in a different state make me laugh.
More than 90% of my matches are people from different countries. That said the najority are probably American and those games are generally the ones more likely to lag and you can't see anything. Infact 1 game from someone in Canada I couldnt hit a 84 pitcher on AS it might as well have been Chapman throwing 9 inns couldn't see the ball at all.

Why would it make you laugh? No, I don't think playing someone halfway across the U.S. is fair. I can see the difference in 95 mph fastballs rather easily. So because you play people from another country and can't hit 84 because it looks like 104 there aren't issues for other people? Of course there is. It is the number 1 issue with this game. I don't know if better matchmaking would help if you are out of the country. Matchmaking needs to be better for everyone. There really is no reason matchmaking shouldn't be better in this game other than sheer laziness or incompetence. SDS has to know this is a real issue. It has been an issue for years. I guess if their streamers are playing good the game is fine. You see where that got them on the PS. Got them to implement crossplay for the first time ever in the franchise. More and more people are getting better internet and finding this game just isn't fun.

Major league baseball got them cross play, not Sony.

That’s a fact. About 2 years ago a guy I work with said to me “mlb the show is going to Xbox in 2021”. I started laughing and told him it would never happen.
Then he went on about how his sisters husband works for Major League Baseball and they have something to do specifically with video games — and he told him that they have no choice but to bring it to Xbox or they are pulling the licenses
Mind you I’m looking at him like he’s a total story box — come to find out 2021 it goes to Xbox and of course he saw me and said “remember when I told you...”.
So yea. I don’t think Sony had much of a choice
