Why can't they fix hitting

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.

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.
You are 100% wrong. Online is way better then what you said. Just not factually correct.
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?
You are too funny Josh...As soon as you get challenged, you tuck your tail and run. But but what about my sliders????? Just more proof that you have more in your Red Bull than just skill. Keep chomping on those Hot Pockets LOLOLOLOL

Maybe I should send you my super duper awesome Slider set up and gameplay settings, you will grow hairs on parts that haven't grown hair before

They’d rather have you keep purchasing year after year crying and complaining only to keep playing

LOL, CRYING???? IT'S CALLED OPENING YOUR MOUTH INFORMING THE GAMING COMMUNITY AND GATHERING INFO TO INSURE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT COMING FROM MY END BUT FROM SDS (THE DEVELOPERS) THEMSELVES. THE ONLY PLAYERS THAT DON'T COMPLAIN ARE EITHER CHEATERS, NEWBIES, CAREFREE OR CARELESS, AND OR SCRUBS. IF YOU'RE NOT GOOD AT THE GAME THERE'S NO REASON TO COMPLAIN WHATSOEVER.

Lol I don't complain, and I play from 08, it is what is man,
Problem with most of you guys is that you expect a homerun in every at bat
Or a homerun on every good timing
It never has been like that and it will never be like that
And the cliche thing to say: in real life it isn't like that neither

There not going to fix hitting for the rest of 22, last year they changed it so much it ruined hitting.

How is hitting ruined, in your opinion? 90% of the complaints here never mention what they think needs fixing. Most of the time it's like "SDS, fix your game!!!!!!"
What good is that shite? If you said, "SDS, get rid of the secret algorithm that makes me hit like [censored]" then you'd be onto something.

In general the hitting has been pretty good this year.And I've been playing for 15 years.So ide like too think I would have an idea about that.
Its cause we live in a world of noobs and casual these days with a lack of accountability...when these DD players can't score 10 runs a game they have to blame something cause obviously it can't be them. Hitting is amazing this year, as you all know I play on Legend with pitch speeds maxed with matured sliders so the game plays like a gem. But with newbies and casuals its a hot mess until they take the time to practice and get better, when they don't they come on here and complain like a child.
^This
I’ll be honest online stinks nothing but a lag/stutter fest because of some clown playing on Wi-Fi probably but the lag comp for these players is ridiculously high. Is it normal for pitches to freeze 3 times on the way to the plate?

I don't if anything changed but I am having issues with fast balls. Never had that much of a problem before but now I am late all the time.
My ways for hitting fastballs
#1 Monitor
Helps a lot but not everyone can get/afford one#2 Warming up before grinding/playing H2H games
Go to sliders, set fastball speed to max. Then go to custom practice, use a hitter who's swing you like against any live series/legend player with generally fast stuff (DeGrom, Diaz, Ryan, etc.) Set the difficulty to hall of fame and start with only inside pitches and expand the zone as you get used to the insanely fast pitches. You don't have to be hitting perfect in the slightest since these pitches are well beyond any selectable difficulty and are more meant to make all star or whatever difficulty feel slower in comparison and sharpen your reaction time. After doing this BP for a while. You usually will be able to go into ranked and hit fastballs without latency.#3 Where you stare while batting
I used to stare at the PCI while batting and wait for the pitch to come in. But the smartest way is to stare at the pitchers cap because you can see his arm winding up and get more reaction time for the pitch. -
IRONMAN "I've noticed that during online ranked game play the weaker the opponent the more susceptible you are to losing." Sorry to disappoint you, but as someone who has played the game back when RTTS was called "career" and your only options were quick game, career and franchise. I only a week or so ago began playing online, and even then, only because I want to unlock certain cards.
I am the guy you WANT to play, because after decades of only playing against the CPU I have to learn to adjust to game play speed glitches, human error, toxic players and bunt/steal cheesers. I sometimes get rattled, and I have played the occasionally good game, but I can honestly say I have NEVER beaten a team with a much better roster or much more experience.
Fact of the matter is I am the one who has to learn to adjust, and from what I have read it seems like you need to as well.

Caps sounds like you are yelling, or crying while yelling. Calm down.

Hope this doesn't get hate but.... I think Homeruns are down this year from The Show 21 imo because I think SDS adjusted the PCI a little. That being said I still think it's OP. Getting a home run from balls well off the zone is highly unlikely in RL baseball but with PCI is still happens. I get frustrated seeing where I pitched the ball and yet it's a perfect homerun. Not including high elevation stadiums. From my experience.
That said, it's no where near as bad imo as it was in The Show 21.
Now the only thing I hate ATM is pitchers with 90+ control and 90+ BB/9 throwing a fastball down the middle for a homerun when I clearly tried to throw it on the corners. That happens in RL though. Even good pitchers miss their spots. Just good hitting don't miss that opportunity.
-
I just played a few games since the latest update and it seemed better. For the record I don't expect every hit to be a homerun and unfortunately sometimes lag is expected during online game play. Some players' internet is not as good as others but sometimes it's the servers. With that said if I have 50 ab's with Acuna for example and I square up all 50 in the meaty part of the PCI with good or perfect contact and 3 result in homers and the rest result in routine fly outs or ground outs meanwhile my opponent does the opposite (pitches outside of the PCI) and hits 20 outta 50 resulting in homers that's a problem.
-
Like I said, to anyone that's on the PLAYSTATION platform I have multiple pics to prove my point. My name is IRONMAN004 or TRIBUNAL I'll send the pics if necessary and for those that think I just plain suck I accept all challenges.

When you realize the PCI is the batters eye and not the barrel of the bat you will quit whining. When you line it up all youre doing is giving yourself the best roll of the odds.

"skillset" and "competitive" these buzzwords have led to video game activist. People think they deserve to hit .500 on this game and its hilarious. Middling users just think theyre better than they are.
-
Now I'm gonna go on a limb and say it: I think hitting is perfectly fine, however it is pretty different and feels nerfed compared to last year and years prior. Lots of good contact dying on the track. Which I am cool with, not every solid contact is a hit. But it's definitely harder to turn around a fastball, but I dont have a problem with it per se
