Omg it takes a few innings to figure a pitcher out what in the name of baseball is going on
Well, when fastballs are 120 mph and you can't catch up to them you have to sell out. Best way to do this is to have an idea of where they like to pitch.

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.
I’m glad you made this post. I think the same stuff every time I play.
I know I am not the only one experiencing this. I am not mad. I don't get mad at losses. I just want to have a fun, enjoyable experience and play baseball on a video game. I don't need a 100-10 record to have fun. For 4 years now I just don't understand how this is one of the few online games without ping indicators. For a game that requires milliseconds of reaction time, it feels like Socom 1 and 2 online when you had people skipping all over the screen. Yes, had turbo internet then from a different provider and 2 of the guys I played with a lot were from Cali and Washington and they used to skip all the time. It is 2021 and time for better connections in this game.
In the meantime, I will just play when I feel like it and jump to PUBG when I don't. No big deal but it would be nice for these issues to be addressed.
Do you think you can tell when guys are using the Zen program thing?
I just made World Series and it took 21 wins…during those games it’s seemed to me very obvious who was cheating.
Certain guys you could fool them out of the zone and with timing, but EVERY SINGLE TIME they had fair to perfect timing within the vicinity of the zone it was it was absolutely blistered for an extra base hit. No hard liners to center or short….something was wrong.
Between what I’m describing, the pitch speed you are posting about along with connection stuff and the freeze offs we must all really love baseball and these game must be really great outside of the issues for people to keep playing.

Lag compensation.

Played one game after I made World Series to test out Vida Blue and he had Edward Cabrera. The guy was like 81-5 I think.
We both had 12 hits I believe, but he ended up hitting like six home runs and I actually scored zero. Had the bases loaded three times and put great swings on some pitches. One I even guessed slider away and made a perfect power swing and lined out to right.
Something about the way the ball was coming off the bat when he made contact didn’t seem right.
There is too much variance in this game to be 81-5.
The point of my post is that I’m almost certain there is some kind of cheating going on. I’ve never seen a zen and didn’t comprehend what it was….so I did some research. They are back ordered three months they are so popular and it is literally a little box you plug your controller into that modifies the input from the controller to the system.
For MLB on YouTube some kid demonstrated the Zen program for hitting on MLB and it basically seems to help square the pci for perfect pci placement.
Seems very plausible to me that a lot of people on top of the leaderboard are using it. They wouldn’t even show up on their streams as using it. It would just be a normal controller. With the rewards selling for so much right after dropping people are for sure cheating.
-
Seemed far fetched to me that people were using cheat controllers, but after doing the research it is for sure happening.

During a 9 inning game, I have a pretty good idea. Only really seen like 3 that I suspected which isn't bad. Someone painting with Maddux and I don't bat an eye. Someone painting constantly with below 80 control raises suspicion. Especially hitting the line consistently with say Chapman. I couldn't do that with Maddux and I had a 2.77 era first season at 974. Think it was right at 3 last season with high of 942 and 2.90 this season. I can pitch so I have an idea of what can and can't be done with certain pitchers.

You know them games you can turn on 100 like they are throwing 80 and everything looks like a beach ball? You don't get to 81-5 without pretty much every game being like that. What I call "magic internet."

Makes a lot of sense….I remember playing halo back in the day and playing swat. Some games it was like butter getting 50 kills and the next game you would get smoked before you pulled the trigger.
I’m guessing it’s the same issue. SDS is a solid 15 years behind in server technology.

How to get a static IP address….google that. Says you can purchase a static IP address from your ISP and that is the difference. You purchase it per device.

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
Performance mode?

Check this out catdaddy taking an inning or 2 to figure out some good pitching is 100% normal Irl and in this game sometimes you start hot sometimes you don't sometimes you're completely shutdown idk why yall think you're supposed to be in a 13-1 or 8-9 ballgames full of deepshots BTW nobody's ever seen a 120mph ball irl or the game foh

You don't want to purchase a static ip from your isp.
There are public and private ip addresses. Public is the one you get from your isp. Private is what you use for your home network like 192.168.x.x. In your router, you should be able to assign a static ip to your console. Assigning a static ip to your console is necessary if you are going to do port forwarding, etc.

You have any ideas in regards to how people are able to get the good “home” connection a majority of the time.

I went back through my router and had a setting messed up. I doubt that it was what is messing up my game but I'll check it tonight. Actually hope so but not optimistic since it was working good last Friday and finished a 12-1 BR run for Trout. Only had 2 good days in the last few weeks.
Have one other thing I could try.If I knew how people are getting 100 to look like beach balls, I would do it. All I can do is try to optimize my network with good cables, wired and correct router settings.

What internet speeds are you paying for? I pay for a gig, but my PS5 can only generate 350-400 down/ 30-40 up. Which isn't too bad with 10 other devices linked to the router.

That’s interesting. It would be nice to know if having a static up address would help. How could having a dynamic ip address impact gameplay?
-
There are times when I play that I certainly feel like I can’t catch up to a fastball…and certainly feel like sometimes I have to start my swing when it is leaving the pitchers hand.
-
For those that haven't experienced it, you have to swing as the ball is leaving the pitcher's hand otherwise the ball is in the catcher's glove before your swing animation happens. It's literally that bad at times.
