Except it's not just people crying about losing. That's just an easy way to hand wave real issues.

[censored] player here. I enjoy the game for what it is.
I play a lot of online in All-Star difficulty and I liked MLBTS19's game play a lot better because I prefer a small ball game that favors contact hitters and speed. This game is feast or famine with the Homeruns and while that may be more exciting to Little Billy and the Wallet Warriors, it reminds me a bit too much of MLBTS19...which was by far the worst iteration of the game I've played since The Show on PS2.

Did you read the part I said this game doesn't play well competitively?

Ok now you can reference back to the cry baby portion of my post.

Not crying, its objectively broken. I dont cry when I lose. I'm fine losing.

Yes it is. (Good).

All in all there are clearly problems and frustrations with the game, but if you ever step back and just 'watch' the game, you;ll see how beautiful it actually plays. the swing animations are gorgeous, usually they actually go to the pitch more or less which is nice. the fielding animations (when errors aren't committed) are smooth. The sounds off the crack of the bat are amazing. Everything about this game is aesthetically really well done and if we weren't judging it from a competitive standpoint, it is great.
From a competitive standpoint, They need to make up their minds on things. if you are going to have skill based matchmaking using ratings, then why have SO MUCH randomness to user input. I am talking about the same things everyone is talking about. If I call for low changeup or curveball on 0-2 and I pull my analog stick past the yellow line, it should NEVER be in the strike zone. Same if i want to bury a slider down and in to a lefty, i KNOW for a fact i am pushing my analog stick up to the right but the game is showing me that I am pushing it up to the left in the feedback window and hanging it (when I know that is absolutely not the case)
Fix user inputs, make user input matter. Don't have any sort of game balancing dynamic adjustments. Stop with the randomness of the feedback window. If you want less balls squared up and hit hard, then make the PCIs smaller and have the feedback window be more specific. the range of timing that constitutes "Good" is too wide so even when you're a fraction early or late, it tells you "good" so you think it should have been hit hard. All these changes only should apply to ranked seasons which, by definiteion, should be the most competitive and therefore people should have no problem with these changes.
Edit: (16-2 600s rating)

Barely made WS last season. The game is VERY frustrating at times, but it is, in my opinion, the sports game that plays the most like the real thing. Hitting is pretty good, imo better than last year, and content is great as always. Overall my go-to video game.

It’s not the pitch speeds it’s the 12ms TV that’s unfortunately causing you to struggle. I had the same issue as you with a bad TV with higher than 12ms and couldn’t make it past 600 this year where as I was 600-800 consistently last year. A few weeks ago I bought a 1ms monitor and there is a huge difference in being able to read pitches and square up the ball consistently
Comparing 12ms input lag to 1ms response time is like comparing apples to tube socks.
12ms input lag is actually not too bad, and I’d be surprised if your “1ms monitor” actually has input lag better than 8.5ms.

I wouldn’t say I was good at the game, although I could always make WS every month by volume alone and maintaining a winning record since the later seasons of ‘17. I usually end up batting around .250-.260 over a sample of roughly 2000 RS games in years past. This year, I have a better winning pct than in any previous MLB the show title, admittedly over a much smaller sample (currently 138-88) due to a lack of motivation to play the game in its current state and the fact we’re still relatively early in the year. I win more than I lose, yet I hate the gameplay since patch 1.04. It made me quit playing RS entirely and probably quit the franchise after this year for good. If I lose it’s not fun, if I win it’s not fun. Everyone is check swinging and twitching at offspeed like they’re on meth and the determining factor, or “skill gap”, if you prefer, in games is no longer the ability to read and track a pitch, it’s a pissing contest of who can swing the fastest and get out in front of a 102mph fastball for a yanked early/okay homer at Shippet stadium. I absolutely hate it, even when I experience success. It feels like you got lucky with a magic swing, or the game threw you a bone, rather than the fact you were rewarded for any skill - and that’s if the game isn’t decided by a ridiculous unforced error caused by bad animations or something along those lines, which it frequently is.

The question is, is it fun. Ask yourself if you have fun while you’re losing. That will answer that.

@maskedgrappler totally agreee with it not being TV. I was much better last year and I play in TV. This year was so frustrating I bought a monitor and don’t notice a difference. If anything I lost more games on it. Now granted I’m sure there is an adjustment from monitor to TV but my many of the people who made the change said they noticed a difference right away I didn’t.
Do u have a Samsung TV? I learned this yesterday. We all know about game mode but I can rename one of my HDMI ports to PC and yesterday I was early on many pitches. Also in options you can change the visual speed setting to faster. Both of these things hurt the sharpness but who cares about that. We out here trying to get these wins!!
