RTTS Catcher: Pitch Calling Broken?

[LukeH_18_PSN]

What’s the deal with pitchers missing their location by miles on 90% of the pitches you call? It’s borderline unplayable.
The issue is manage-able and understandable at AA, considering hitters at that level aren’t nearly as proficient, and pitchers aren’t either.

But by the time you get to catching big league pitchers, it doesn’t work out. Every fastball down and away turns into a meatball. As does any curve you ask for below the strike zone. These are pitches that guys like Devers, Judge, and Alvarez crush almost everytime, costing your team the game.

What’s the solution here? I’ve played with every option and slider, and nothing seems to help. I’ve played this series since MLB 10 TS; the last I played regularly was TS 23. I don’t recall it being an issue in either of those titles, or any in between.
