Hitting 100 mph
-
Fastballs when home = easy. As slow as a change up.
94 mph fastballs on the road = have to cheat to catch up to it.
Why is this? This is consistent. Something to do with the internet of the home team? Is there anything I can do?

Swing earlier. I just went thru this against Rob dibble.

It’s called latency. And yes it sucks but I just won on the road so it’s not game breaking. But if you don’t wanna deal with it if you have any slowdown on your pitch or lineup selection then you know you’re road team and just back out til you get home

This is game breaking if that’s the only solution. If everybody employs this tactic, then nobody is playing.

The same reason you swear you shot that dude on COD first, but the kill cam shows you facing backwards frying up dinner on an open fire.
That's the life of an online gamer. Accept it, or play the CPU.

This is quite the conspiracy theory. Let’s get it together people.

They need to fix this. They need to make it to where after you confirm you want to play you go to your pitcher selection page and line up page then after confirming your starter and lineup you start matchmaking and you just hop into a game. There is no actual reason to have the pitcher and lineup screens during matchmaking because you cant adjust your lineup to the opposing teams starter. This was heavily abused last year and I’m surprised they didn’t attempt to address it. This method would be an easy fix and would eliminate people abusing the ability to only play at home.

You can't see the opposing teams lineup until you are entering the game, there is no way to adjust a lineup before you lock in your roster.
I'm very confused by your post.
-
Its not confusing. If the game had you lock your pitcher and lineup BEFORE you are matched up to an opponent, then people would not be able to scroll through their line up to do the home field detection cheese. I like the idea!

@lucas8181_PSN this is exactly what I mean
️There’s no real point to having you and your opponent select your starter/lineup once your matched up because you can’t see your opponents choice of starter so you can’t adjust your lineup accordingly. Instead after you confirm you want to play, you go into a lobby or something, lock your starter and lineup, confirm, then the matchmaking starts and you and your opponent go right into the game.

Idk much about nothing but for some reason I've figured it up this year I've been the home team about 85% so far so whatever that means and whatever it's worth I think I need to go to monitor

Yes.... and ultimately makes it almost pointless to play. So you either have a major disadvantage or advantage... no games with an even match.

I got you, you want to remove the home/away stuff. I've never paid much attention, but the "lag" on the menu does seem less noticeable this year.
Last year I knew without a doubt that I was home or away, this year I'm never sure. Maybe I'm just bad at paying attention.
-
I've made WS several times and never backed out b/c I was the away team. You do know different pitching motions also change how fast pitches appear. Example why people like nolan ryan and aroldis chapman have always been so easy to hit, but some pitchers are hard to get around on 95mph.

Does your tv have a Game scene select/mode, if it does try that before investing in a monitor

You’re just a beast because everybody I play can’t hit Chapman.

Yeah o played a dude that threw all sliders or curves down and in ( to the same spot) and occasionally a fastball up and away or up and in. I just gave up on the ability to hit the breaking pitches due to being away team and sat on the fastball. I won but it was terrible way to have to play knowing the other guy had zero intelligence with pitch placement. If I was home I would have shelled him
