How can you play this game

I understand your frustration but if they make hitting easier.. Like fastballs slower or change the timing window then people will complain hitting is too easy. A monitor does help but you can still compete with a tv. Get a newer one if you can. You can find a new tv with input lag as low as a monitor for cheap.

This is just you sucking at the game. Game is great! "GIT GOOD" or be left in the dust to rot

Once again the show is trash pretty upsetting. I dont understand how its fun to be thrown all balls every at bat. No one wants to play online and take [censored] pitches. Make hitting easier or u will lose all your fans besides the extreme monitor users and streamers. Terrible. The hitting is always good the first few days then something happens and they change it
You don’t need a monitor to play but having game mode on tv is a must for this game. If you are not willing to take pitches then you are not willing to play a baseball game.

lol, i dont use a monitor or stream and Im able to work counts and im good at htting. its called being patient and having an approach, you know, like baseball.

Honestly thought this was satire at first, "who wants to play online and take pitches?" Reminds me of the "nobody throws me pitches in the strike zone" guys. If you swing at everything people are not going to throw you a meatball

Typical Participation Award Recipient. Maybe SDS can implement a Tee for you for next year?

You got to practice my man.

I think you stumbled across these forums on accident while looking for the TeeBall21 forums. If you want to play on a cheap tv and swing at everything you still can, and you should have competitive games against other people on similar skill level. Maybe give a couple weeks for the higher rated players to move up a little before you start. Just don't expect to compete with the people that are on a better display and actually have plate discipline.

Stop whining and get a monitor. There problem solved.
I must say.. I was having issues with timing so finally broke down yesterday and bought a really nice monitor at Costco... all I can say is wow... just wow why did I wait so long

I start every RS game with a curve ball in the dirt. If you swing, that's all your getting for 9 innings until you learn to stop hitting X. So, stop hitting X

Also, you can get a monitor that still does great for under $200. Asus VG245H

I would maybe ask Jobu to come take fear from your bats.

You know if you take a few pitches 99% Of the time your opponent will throw you strikes right?

If you want instant results without the years of practice, the only thing I can say is buy a 1 or ½ms monitor. Once I changed about 3-4 years ago I immediately went up to CS, 2 divisions higher than my previous best. The following year I could consistently hit WS. A 100-mph fastball takes roughly 375-400 milliseconds to reach the plate. For reference, the blink of an eye takes 300-400 milliseconds. So if you think every ms doesn't count your sadly mistaken. Even the best tv's from 2020 have such high input lag, it makes playing games such as COD, Rocket League and MLB almost unplayable for me. Competitive gaming = Frames + Response time (apart from user skill obviously)
Example: On all-star difficulty i'm very early on almost all high fastballs, because its just a reaction, so I pull most of them foul. Why you hear most people/streamers say RS sucks until you get to 700 and start playing on HOF. In the living room on my 2019 Samsung 55" TV with 13ms response time, same console. I'm so late, I wont even play against the CPU to grind. The only thing I use my tv and that console for is the marketplace.

I bought a 31.5 inch LG for $220 yesterday at Office Depot. Works great. They aren’t expensive. I do wish I could play on my big screen but it is what it is.

Maybe DD isn't the game mode for you. Have you tried online Home Run Derby?

I was absolutely awful at hitting until earlier today when I figured out how to change my tv to game mode... I never thought it would make much difference so I never tried it, but it's a total game changer. I went from swinging at everything and being late on everything to being early and my pitch recognition went way up. Was able to knock out several moments in just a few minutes (as I assume they are designed to be done) instead of being stuck trying to get multiple hits for a million tries. If OP hasn't made the change then I recommend that for sure.
