    The hitting started off good. PCI was on point however I've noticed that during online ranked game play the weaker the opponent the more susceptible you are to losing. No matter what adjustments are made the game plays in favor of your weaker opponent. I have consistent images on my PS 5 where my PCI placement was good and my timing was good and sometimes perfect, these resulted in outs. However, my opponent gets a hit with a ball in on the handle or a homer on a pitch up and in. Example: last night I hit a ball with D'Arnaud perfect timing dead center end result routine fly ball. Realistically based on accuracy this game is over. 9th inning with 2 outs I bring in Jansen on a righty righty match up the first cutter I throw Teoscar Hernandez hits a homer to LEFT (395FT.) on a cutter (down and away outside corner). Then in extras runner advances on a passed ball and RAMIEL TAPIA HITS A SEEING EYE SINGLE IN ON THE HANDS THAT ROLLS OVER SECOND BASE AT ABOUT 10MPH COSTING ME THE GAME!!!!!! This is a constant and that was the same issue last year. I dropped from 1922 to 1908 because of that. I have beaten top 10 players on this game but yet I lose to a player ranked 1000 because San Diego Studios refuses to fix an issue that has been plaguing this game for years. FIX THE HITTING PLAIN AND SIMPLE IF NOT THINGS GOTTA GO BOTH WAYS. JUST BECAUSE MY OPPONENT IS NOT HIGHLY RANKED DOESNT MEAN THE GAME SHOULD RUN IN A WAY TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WIN.

    JOSHJAYS44, send me a friend invite and I'll play you on LEGEND and whether I win, lose, or you quit. Which I hope you don't i'll send you my proof of my game against you. However, no excuses as to this game not being off/ broken. I usually play during AM eastern time. I only play with the BRAVES since as far back as Ken Griffey Baseball. You let me know and I'll definitely play you and prove your quote wrong.

    Dude I'm not playing online, I'm not a newbbbbb. Isn't online a hot mess? with Default sliders and super slow pitch speeds? I don't feel like hitting knuckleball pitch speeds all game long..what about input lag? or slow downs or whatever other silly nuances online play has.

    It's insane how inaccurate their hitting mechanism is.... [censored] games almost as broken as Vanguard

    What exactly do you think is broken? All due respect, but telling SDS to "fix the hitting" is not helpful. In order to fix something, you have to know what the problem is. I don't personally have a problem with the hitting.

    The fact that hitting becomes 5 times easier the second your losing

    That's a pretty strong conspiracy theory. Got any proof?

    The problem is it’s 10 times easier to hit when losing

    Bro this is the only real comment I’ve seen this is what I’ve been trying to say n I don’t think it’s only when players r worse then u it feels like the second u score the first run no matter how late r early into the game the second after u score it the other team starts swinging with metal bats n it’s so depriving

    Wait online isn't default sliders?..how do both players play with the same sliders then?..do you have to agree before hand when you start a game? How does that work?. From the so called The Show guys on youtube, when I look at their videos the pitch speeds are soooooo slow, I could never hit like that..its like slow pitch grannie baseball. What about lag? what if the other person is on crappy internet wouldn't that affect gameplay?

    SackAttack23, to address and answer your question. When hitting you have a PCI the PCI is supposed to symbolize the sweet part of the bat. Right? Anything outside of the PCI is either a swing and a miss, bad contact resulting in a routine out, or best case scenario a foul. With that said if the pitch is completely outside of the PCI that should always result in a swing and miss however that's not what's going on during online game play. Pitches outside of the PCI are resulting in hits and pitches that are dead center with good timing and perfect contact are resulting in outs. SDS has to fix that.

    I get all the lag input dialog etc. however I along with anyone that has played this game will agree the online hitting is broken. How can you even play for "prizes/ money when the results are bogus??? I can deal with lag to an extent although I have excellent internet connection and anyone that has played online since the franchise 1st debuted online years ago will agree. For example you can't have 10 at bats with 4 perfect contacts and 6 good contact and they all result in outs. Meanwhile your opponent has 10 at bats chases on every pitch (free swinger) doesn't even move the PCI strikes out 7 out of the 10 at bats but yet miraculously hits a seeing eye single on a sinker in the dirt, a bloop single on a pitch up way above the letters, and then to add insult to injury hits a homer on a pitch that would be considered chin music. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE THAT PLAYS ONLINE DOESN'T SEE THAT???? I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO POINT THE FINGER AT MYSELF IF I WERE A NEWBIE OR I JUST PLAIN SUCKED BUT I DONT AND I AM NOT I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS FOR YEARS. THIS IS 2022 THERE IS NO REASON WHY THEY SHOULD'NT OR ARE INCAPABLE OF FIXING THIS ISSUE. (SDS) YET, THEY HAVE INTRODUCED CROSSED PLATFORM GAME PLAY. (TOO MAKE MONEY) I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, THIS GAME CAN BE THE BEST ONE YET ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS FIX THE INCONSISTENT HITTING MECHANICS.
