It's painfully obvious yet again
-
that people are playing this game with different pitch speeds. I am sitting in all star and have to sell out to hit a fastball yet a streamer on legend I can call out balls and strikes almost immediately. Not sure what happened but the game the last few weeks has pretty much been unenjoyable and borderline unplayable. Can I physically play it? Yes but when I have to sell out on all star to hit a 95 fastball and have to take 3 innings to see what pitches my opponent likes to throw just to hit, it isn't playable. I'll hang around in the 500's and get my 40 wins at some point but when my squad gets on I'll be jumping over to PUBG immediately.
I typically enjoy a challenge but do you really think I want to play this game on HOF/Legend when I can't read/react pitches on all star. Once again, the first month was pretty fun. Guess that is the expected life cycle of this game. This game hasn't been a challenge the last few weeks but a joke. Game is the same every year because someone at SDS thinks everyone can play everyone despite what internet connection you have. Game is long overdue for a ping indicator. No sense for 95 to feel like 80 one game and 110 the others. I guess as long as it plays well for pitching_rebel and other content creators it's all good.

Man just stop playing. This isn't your personal forum to complain on every time you lose. You're on here every day whining. Stop playing if you're this miserable. It's a game, it's not that serious.

There have been a handful of games that have felt completely different than the others. In those games, I could read the pitches. I could keep my pci in the middle and then just react. My contact results were more rewarding. It was awesome. Most of the other games have more accurately represented by what you’re talking about. It does seem that people are experiencing this game quite differently.

You really are a smart one aren't you? I haven't even played this morning.
I have lost over 90 games or so. Sorry, don't have my online video game record memorized. Have I made posts on every one? Not even close because I don't care about losses on a video game. I care about the game being fun. Warped pitch speeds aren't fun. I am positive I am not the only one dealing with these issues. This is a forum to bring up game issues. Not hard to block someone if you don't like what they post. OK, maybe it is difficult for you.
Oh, think I played like 3-4 games last night before jumping over to PUBG. Only loss was a freeze off in like 3rd inning, no interest in waiting so quit and shut game off immediately. Don't care about losses genius. Not really sure how many times I have to say that for the slow people to comprehend.

You lost me at PUBG. Whackk

What you're seeing on stream isn't actually representative of what they are experiencing. It's moving that fast for THEM.
Save a video clip of your gameplay and watch it back. It moves far slower than what you experienced in game.
Or, stream a game yourself on a delay and watch it back after every pitch. You will see it slower on your stream screen than what you experienced on your console screen.
-
Yeah dude I get your complaints but don’t discredit your opinion by saying stuff like coast players have better connections and streamers see everything slower. We all deal with what you’re experiencing. No need to exaggerate or say you’re at a disadvantage compared to others.

I thing what he’s referring to about ping has a lot of merit. And I do think people are having different experiences with this game. Do most of the games you play run smoothly, or are most of them where the pitches seem like they’re going 200 mph?

Was just about to say this because i feel the same way as you sometimes. best advice would be keep grinding. i practice on hall of fame and somewhat legend so the ball looks slower. goodluck

For the most part my games have been fairly smooth but I have definitely experienced games with warping pitches that look like they’re 200mph out of the hand. Combine that with someone who’s pitching very quickly and it is pretty hard to be successful.

Last few weeks, 200 for sure.
So you are telling me these content creators are hitting .400 seeing the speeds I see? No chance. We are not all seeing the same speeds. Just as some games you can turn on 102 and others you are getting blown away with 93.
People that are hitting .400 are having the games they can turn on 102 all the time. I would hit .400 if I saw those games all the time. I have tried wired, wireless (5g), mobile hot spot and even 2g while streaming netflix. Same result for each one. I wouldn't mind it happening every once in a while. It is every game now. I don't know if maybe less people are playing and the match making is expanding, bad opponent internet connections. No idea but this has been a problem for years they obviously haven't figured out.

Easy solution. Move to the East Coast

You are just not that good. But here are some tips to help you: Get a monitor with a high refresh rate and low input lag, hardwire your system and have good internet, play in performance mode also practice. Good luck

Gee thanks Tyler.
1440p, 144 mz, 1ms monitor. Fiber wired, great router, new cables. Anything else? Usually score 15-20 runs (sometimes more, sometimes less) on legend against the CPU where the game is actually smooth.
I thought it may have been the router/modem combo from Google when the game was playing good out of the gate but right back to where we started so it wasn't that.
Tell your network guys they need to do a better job of match making. Playing people 1500 miles away does not provide a good playing experience.

So imagine someone’s frustration if their experience is the adverse or yours where they are seeing ungodly pitch speeds on a regular basis, and the games that run smoothly are few and far between. How would you feel about adding a ping indicator or being able to set some sort of ping threshold for matchmaking purposes?

Most of the east coast sucks (just my opinion). Florida would be good. Only the gulf side though.
Must be nice to see so many people not have this issue. If you do have it and you're not speaking up, you are not doing yourself or the other people dealing with this any favors.

I hear you but I can’t complain about something that doesn’t seem to happen to me. I have good and bad days and I can usually tell when I step into practice mode what kind of gaming session I’ll be getting. I’m either really on it or I’m not. I’ve never seen fluctuations from one game to the next. Sorry but I just haven’t

There are times when my pci placement is off. There are certain pitchers I just can't hit (just like irl). What I am talking about is a whole different issue. I think it boils down to match making and connections. I don't want a garbage game where I got matched in 5 seconds. I would rather wait a few minutes for a good game.
Again, why am I in the middle of the country being matched with east and west coast players? Makes zero sense unless they have good high speed internet also which is extremely doubtful. I get matched with people that disconnect. Although possible, I highly doubt a storm came through and knocked out power at that precise time. More than likely they had [censored] internet. Why did I match up with them?

Its difficult for a reason.

I’m all for it. I don’t have anything against what OP says on a regular basis. He has valid complaints which I’ve seen myself in the game. I just think he would be taken more seriously if it wasn’t always some conspiracy that streamers get more time to react than he does or that coast players have an advantage. The victim role isn’t going to get you anywhere in life.
