This game can be and is really hard. Most of the really good players have a good gaming monitor and modified analog sticks. IMO those things shouldn't be needed to be good at a game but it is what it is. I don't use either but got a new tv recently. If you wanna "git gud"(I hate that phrase), get a gaming monitor

Use throwing meter on defence; no error possible if you’re accurate

Button accuracy, use it, love it. I used to use just buttons on my catcher. 60% of the time he missed all the time. With button accuracy, on the nail every time.
With hitting, try picking a zone to work with. As an example, I ignore everything inside and on the bottom third as I can never get them.
Obviously the above isn't ideal and needs work but I'm an offline only type so it still works out most of the time as the CPU doesn't really dot that well.
Working specific zones in the PCI also helps your plate discipline as well, I'm prone to being a little trigger happy myself otherwise.
I'm brand new to this series myself.

It’s way to hard to hit and I’m making errors on a consist basis. It’s unplayable
Playable on a lower difficulty though.

How so? Using button accuracy/throwing meter I haven't made a throwing error in 4 years that wasn't my fault
-
False, I played it last night.

If you’re in the green, you eliminate any RNG on throws. The bobbling/ passed balls depends on your positioning/angle, difficulty of play to be made and ratings. For throws, you can have 100% control.

I am a TV player and am having a much easier time hitting this year.

Button accuracy is 100% on the user. Meter there is rng involved using the cards stats. Button accuracy is the way to go, not meter.

Monitor makes a world of difference. So much better to play on and that’s from someone with about as good a TV for gaming (by LG) that you can get.
-
Lol literally just contact swing right now. So broken. Youll get a ton of hits. Mostly BS hits but hits none the less
-
It's crazy; last year vs CPU I was demolishing them on HOF and barely winning on Legend. This year, I can barely score 1 run on Veteran sometimes. Hitting feels broken AF to me.

I was under the impression that that original comment meant button accuracy

What errors are you making ? Hitting takes practice. Idk anything about your stats but if your new it’s gonna be tough for some people. I still have games where I hit like [censored] and I’ve been playing since 2014

It’s sad it’s early may and I’m already about to hang this game up...its so random I’m not enjoying it at all...”I’m not into grinding either”

Hitting is different this year. I am going thru a similar adjustment.
Its not broken, and in some ways its better. You have to focus on timing. You get far more leeway from the game if your timing is good.
Also -- because most players are using whole teams of elite hitter cards, hitting is tuned in a way that playing with cards with mediocre hitting stats makes the game FAR more difficult. It can be frustrating until you load up your lineup with diamonds.
Put some time in, in the custom practice mode. Dial up the difficulty and face De Grom or Cole, then pick a junk pitcher to get your off speed timing --- every pitcher with a change up over uses it. I cant speak highly enough of, of practice mode......its a huge help.
Youll improve rapidly, and going back to HOF difficulty will seem easier.
This is how i am handling the adjustment to The Show 21. I hope it helps.
Good Luck and Cheers! -

All the players in DD are all stars. I use "buttons" to throw and can count my bad throws on 1 hand.
