I have thought about to doing this so many times....
Getting up to mid 600's, lose a bunch of games on purpose to go back down, then win a bunch then lose, rinse and repeat.
I feel like the most fun I have in RS is when I am at or below 650. But I kinda care too much about my win loss record.
How do ya'll get to that 30 or 40 win mark without doing this?
Every season until I get to around 25-30 wins. Then I make run to WS.
Monday night I dropped down to 430. Fix the game where I don't see 110 mph wiffle balls and I'll be more than happy to start at 700. I usually only run my best players from like 750 to 900+ for the initial WS run. Once I make WS I tank back into 7-800's and play with different cards.
I don't care about my record, I care about having fun. Not being able to read or react to pitches because of the lag isn't fun. Coincidentally (cough, cough), the higher you go the worse it is.I think it is a product of me being 8-9+ hours from the alleged server locations and opponents being very close. I just don't think there are very many people in my area that are highly ranked.
wow how do you go from 430 all the way up to world series =X..
Practice before every game
15 minutes of thumb exercises
15 minutes of eye exercises
30 minutes of custom practice against deGrom
15 minutes of custom pitching practice
3 inning practice game against cpu on legend
After the rs game, complete a scouting report on the positives and negatives in the game
Player evaluation to see who makes the starting lineups, bullpen, bench and rotations for next gameYou forgot your press conference !

You seem to have a worst go of it than anyone else with the servers. And you stated earlier you live like 8 hours away from the closest server. I don't even know how you know the locations of the servers. Sounds like you just live in the middle of nowhere with bad reception if that were the case I wouldn't even bother playing this game because timing is everything. I also have games where the ball is faster and it seems like a 90 mile per hour pitch is 150 but I don't experience it everyday like you but I also have been playing a lot less I'm playing events and stuff which is that all star I never think all stars too fast.
KC. Almost center of the U.S. Wired fiber with an asus router. It isn't my connection.
Alleged location of servers as someone posted a while back. NJ, Florida, Chicago, Texas, Colorado and West Coast. All places that I coincidentally have when I see these names in the team name. Not always but a lot and vice-versa. I cringe when I see say Chicago in the team name. I know there is a really good chance the game is going to suck. Errors, warped pitches, base stealers not running, baserunning problems, non-pci hr's (I am the king of giving these up. Gave up 3 the last game I played), weak opponent hits, good/good for me going nowhere, etc. The list goes on. Somehow, SDS thinks it is good to match me against these people right next to the servers. Pretty sure this is where the fiber hurts me. Been dealing with these for years and think I finally found the problem. Big relief but absolutely nothing I can do. I would like to see them move a server from Florida to KC. Florida people would struggle making the WS.
Lol I'm on the Southside of Chicago
That would make sense if I am correct and would explain why you don't see issues or more likely they are rare. My theory is if I'm matched up against you, your info will naturally get to the server before mine. Game has to use a server to sync info. There is definitely an issue somewhere and I believe this is where it lies. Also guessing you probably see consistent pitch speeds. I see different pitch speeds all the time and plenty of games it is impossible to read the ball. I am not your normal 50+ year old when it comes to hand/eye coordination and abilities. This is why I still win a ton of games despite these things.
No dude I see a lot of problems there are times where I turn on a Hall of Fame fastball and I am beyond early then there are times I am late on a 95 mile per hour All-Star fastball. It happens to everybody it sucks. I think it has to do with both players internet and of course the servers and also what time of day and the server load. I noticed when I get home from work early in the morning that is when I have my best games I think there are less people on the game around 5 or 6 or 7 a.m. Central Time. Dinner time isn't even worth playing sometimes

I've thought about that, but I realized I don't have to tank games, I'll probably lose anyhow. In 2 years, the highest I've reached is 667, and that was last week. I'm 20 games under .500 win/loss and I keep getting matched up with people with winning records. I would rather play people like me...losers.
-
To start every season I do attempt to see how high I can go. I hit 700 every time and got as high As 785 but then I quit about ten straight games to get back down. Once you have maxed out rewards that you can get it makes no sense to try and play against better competition

So I could be wrong but think this is what happens. The game needs a server to sync. Say you in Chicago play someone in Philadelphia (yet another bad experience for me most of the time), I think the game determines both pings to servers and finds the best fit. If you have great internet, your ping to the NJ server will be lower than their ping to the Chicago one. Therefore, this game goes through NJ which means the Philly data gets to the server first causing a worse game for you. The more difference in ping, the worse the game experience.
I do think my gaming experience is worse than most because I am 8-9 driving hours from the closest server and my fiber connection pretty much gets anywhere in the U.S. probably under 75 ms. If I am connecting to a server with 50 ping and my opponent is right next to the server at 20, that is a problem. 30 ms doesn't seem like much but it is in an online baseball game.

I tank when I get to 650.
It’s not because I’m manipulating to get to 30/40 wins. Tbh that didn’t cross my mind.

My theory is based on the ping between you and the server and your opponent and the server.
Say you are in Las Vegas match up with someone in Texas. I believe if your ping to Texas is lower than your opponent's to the west coast (if that is your closest server) then it will put you connecting to the Texas server. If your opponent is pinging 20 to that Texas server and you are pinging 80 let's say, that is a huge difference and I think you would see a horrible game for you.
Just all speculation but I have been trying to figure this out for years. I think this is where the issue lies. -

Even though I have wired fiber, if the alleged server locations are correct, the closest one to me is around 8 hours which would explain why I get so many warping pitches. Also guessing the fiber allows me to to connect to further people as my ping would more than likely be lower to theirs than theirs would be to the servers which are far away from me.
