Haven't played ranked in a couple weeks

Man I really lost a step. I think its between playing the event a lot to parallel players. Got 75 wins. Played lots of showdown amd moments for the TA3 grind and acuna program. All of that is on rookie, veteran or all star. Just lost my first 3 games of RS tonight. 2 games were on hall of fame and one on all star. I am tired and not in sweat mode but man those pitches looked 150mph and I think I scored 2 runs in a 3 game stretch.

Just played my first game on legend and it was the most miserable gaming experience I've ever had. I'm cool to get my rear kicked on HOF. At least there I have a chance to hit the ball.

Know the feeling. I haven’t played RS I’m a few weeks either. Going to hit it this week.
I find it helpful to practice on legend against DeGrom for a few minutes instead of jumping in cold.

I never play ranked Seasons without custom practice on Legend versus a fire baller but I'm telling you in ranked seasons sometimes Hall of Fame feels like Legend on steroids versus the computer. I know that weirdo demise is always talking about internet connection and ping and Burger King Wi-Fi but I believe in a game like this where milliseconds count that he is onto something. Then there are other games where I swear the game is on All Star but it's on Hall of Fame because everything seems way slower. My biggest gripe with this game is the inconsistencies from game to game. I have won several games on Legend but I have also had the experience where legend is literally impossible to react in time it's almost like you have to swing as the pitchers releasing the ball and just guess.

I almost never get my [censored] kicked on Hall of Fame but I do lose plenty of games. Today I could not even catch up to the ball it was really miserable but I know what you were talking about on Legend I have felt that way as well. Some days it just seems like the ball comes in faster that it does on other days I can't explain it

I'm 41-6 so I'm not a slouch...actually my L when I was 863 tonight pushing for WS was a DC in the 2nd inning of a 0-0 game. But [censored] facing Crochet on legend on the road...like I'm too old for this.
And my wife is in the room with me watching Love Island so I'm kinda halfway watching that when I play. Not trying to lock in this hard.

Agree 100%. Connection seems to have an impact on pitch speeds.
-
The problem is P2P connections.

Which boggles the mind when it comes to a game based on timing 🥴
-
I’ve slowed way down, played 2 last night: both bunters who couldn’t hit to save their lives and I struck them out almost twice an inning. Lost one won one because my timing is rusty but at least put the bat on the ball. Couldn’t get Billy Hamilton out even with 3B and 2B in bunt defense because of lazy animations. Even after my second game (win) I was exhausted with the constant fake bunting and constant quick pauses just to annoy the opponent.
-
All the offline grinding has definitely messed me up in RS. I really wish they could match up pitch speeds for online & offline so we could get the same reps in while grinding
-
Yea all I want to be able to do is not play legend. I’ll play HOF all day. Legend is not for 99.9% of the user base
-
Man difficulty doesn't even matter. The connection between you and your opponent is 90% of why you can't hit or get rewarded.

Connections but since top coast streamers can go 300-20 they won't do anything about it. If they had better connections/servers, pitching_rebel wouldn't be able to go 300-20 and I guess they think that would bad for the game. It would actually be better. He isn't sniffing that record at my house but I guess wired fiber is bad.

I posted a thread asking questions about this - this makes me feel way more normal - thanks everyone.

Don't bother. Ranked is an absolute dumpster fire

Won the next 5 but still feel like I lost a step. Not scoring as much as before. Almost feels like exit velocities are down but I'm not starting a new conspiracy. Parallel 5 trout hit a chest high FB vs a right handed pitcher center pci with 14 pci rating and it was a routine flyball to center field.

I think something happened when they nerfed contact swing, which needed to be done. The ball flies so much better in events than RS. Events are always more fun. I wish they were on hall of fame though. All star is BP.
