I’m just tired of out-of-pci early timing homers on low curveballs
I just lost a game against a guy that was flailing all game and had four home runs with single digit pci ratings. At this point I am chalking it up to the feedback being wrong.

I guess it’s the same in World Series than it is in pennant race, where I am, (sheesh)

I’m guessing it’s even worse in WS with the small pci…most of the bombs I give up don’t make sense and the ball is outside of the pci.

Fuzzy had one that he gave up recently that wasn’t within a country mil of being in the pci with decent timing and it went out

Enjoyed rs yesterday as the game was playing good. 80% of the time it is trash including today.
-
I just played a game after maybe 1.5 - 2 months away from RS, I’m on all star and still timing windows changing pitch to pitch, very late jammed bloops against me obviously and two early pulled sliders for homeruns for my opponent (both were placed a low and away) didn’t hang any…

I enjoy ranked seasons, but the fluctuating connection makes it frustrating with the pitch speeds high and timing windows small.
You can be on everything against DeGrom for instance thinking you are getting things figured out and next game you face DeGrom again and get blown away. I really don’t enjoy that aspect at all.
On the flip side you got guys batting .400….
I saw an advertisement for Verizon FIOS fiber optic gaming internet that reduces lag……. @D_e_m_I_s_E_PSN
I have wired fiber internet. It works great for other games, streaming and web surfing. This is an MLB The Show issue which won't get resolved until they get a competent competitor. Not sure who in that company figures a 1 v 1 connection with someone over 1000 miles away is a good idea.
Not even 99 George Brett will save me from punting this game when Battlefield comes out.

Don’t throw curveballs low it’s probably top two worst pitches/locations to throw in the game
-
Yeah, I guess I just suck

Not saying that, but curveballs and changeups low are very easy for PCI jammers to just flick it down there and get early tanks.
-
No. I do. Trust me. You see this wild card icon. I got that on vet difficulty. But I appreciate the tips. I do love this game and I wish you luck

What @Exotic_Combs_PSN said. You have to be really careful where you throw change-ups and curveballs. I rarely throw curveballs in the zone.
Heading back to Netflix since this game just isn't fun today or most days for that matter.

Yeah, any curveball or change up should be thrown out of the zone unless you have your opponent completely guessing on every pitch.

I started playing because Dodgers vs Mets wasn’t fun, came back to Dodgers vs Mets and still not fun

I only recently got to 100 ranked games played, and I used to play 500-700 games a year. Now some of that is less time to play bc RL, but I don't enjoy ranked once I get to HoF and find myself playing way more events and BR
I’m in the same boat. Ranked is boring AF for me right now. Get to HOF and all of the desire just goes right out the window.

I have played 16 total games and usually only do so to complete complete game missions online … gone 11-5

Nope.
Plus side, decided to get into BR this month and am having a lot of fun. The new reward path is great and seems like the best value for my time and it feels great to load into an game and feel like i actually have a chance to hit the ball and score some runs.
-
Extra innings mode the most respectable way to go,a win on allstar level or higher against Any team in xtra innings mode is respected. And honestly won.Leave the cheese at home, its useless in there.

BR is fun this year, I agree. I’ve always avoided it but the program has made it much more fun.

I would concur. There is just no explanation for what goes on in this game in ranked. “That’s baseball” doesn’t cut it.
It’s too easy to pitch like a champ and if you can bunt for a hit with Lou Brock, you can win games while your opponent squares up balls that go nowhere because of pitcher confidence. It’s just not good.
