    I have wired fiber and see warping pitches all the time. It gets worse as time goes on. My theory is that the people with good internet get tired of the laggy bs and quit or go to other games. This causes the few players with good internet to match up with even worse connections, resulting in very poor online play. Always seems to be decent to start with more players and then gets worse the more people leave. Just a theory after years of analyzing this stuff.

    I could list a whole bunch of stuff that laggy online play causes:
    bad fielding animations
    noodle bat
    more bloops and bleeders for opponent's
    better results for hitting for opponent's
    baserunning errors
    slow jumps on base stealing attempts
    lag on tag up plays
    warped pitching
    list goes on and on

    This has been my experience. I was on fiber the last few years, but I just moved. Now I have 250 down and 50 up, also fiber. The upgraded band width has completely ruined the game, hence the reason I've stopped playing.

    Let's go ahead and walk through this together. You will see I was gone for almost a month, then TA came out, after reading about the AS content and new TA content, I downloaded the game again, a WEEK after the content dropped. I checked it out for two days, same game, deleted again.

    It's not tough to figure out if you do actual looking, instead of trying to snipe someone with a "gotcha!"

    Try again 🙂

    Nope. I was out of town coaching and teaching for 3 weeks, no internet, no PS4. Two weeks before that I deleted the game.

    This is so fun, ya'll "got me". The game sucks, especially with faster internet.

    Spider man is great though, and the new Ghost of Tsushima content is going to be fantastic.

    Keep telling me things you don't know though, it gives me something to do while I drink my morning coffee.

    My usual competition are hitting in the 300s but I've also noticed that most people I'm playing are only hitting in the low 200s with the new ta3 cards. I think they messed with hitting when they released to me ta cards.

    Why release great hitting cards just to nerf hitting all the while not nerfing pitching? Do yall tak pride in how boring your game has begun? Is ea paying yall to run off your player base in hopes they buy the new madden?

    lol, I'm sorry your servers just went down again, in July. This was my last attempt at a sports game, too many problems with all the others. Maybe the MLB will finally let lose, and let other game developers have a crack at baseball.

    I’ve been playing this game since 2006, only started playing online in 19. Between 19 and 20 I probably had 1000 RS games, just trying to get better at the game. This year I have played 69 ranked games, and it’s a result of how horrible online play is.

    I believe I tried a demo of Super Mega Baseball, it seemed like a fun game, but there was a learning curve. I might go back to it next year. Now that we are getting to the best part of the year for new releases, I'm going to have other things to keep me busy.

    Thank you for the suggestions!

    It’s pretty simple. PPP ruined this game. And now that the H/9 and control on every pitcher is maxing out, it’s a nightmare.

    The best thing SDS could do is disable PPP, and rework it for next year.

    Bingo

    On top of pinpoint making everything on the black, even when you do manage to square one up it often goes straight to someone. If you are gonna make good user input give fantastic results for pitching, hitting needs the same treatment.

    All the had to do was make analog and meter more accurate which they actually did do. Making PPP to me was an overcorrection and the game plays a lot worse at the higher levels because of it. I really wish it would get removed but the streamers love it, so it's likely here to stay
