I have played hundreds of h2h games online since 2014 and I can confirm that network lag has A LOT to do with how well you can see and react to the pitch. It may not have anything to do with your setup, but external factors such as the other person's connection quality and/or physical distance from your connection has a lot to do with it.... If you play someone overseas, for an example, the gameplay will usually be much different than vs if you played someone across town.
Too bad SDS doesn't show connection quality before jumping into an online game. Sometimes you can scroll up and down your lineup in pregame and tell how much lag you might get, but that is not always reliable.Yep, you match vs a west coast guy and it doesn't matter what your setup is....
My typical benchmarks in killzone shadow fall (because they actually treat you like educated adults and let you see specs) were
-Granted this is dedicated servers and not p2p but you get a good ideaUSA east (my time zone)- 20-33ms ping
Central- 50-80ms
West coast- 100+ ms
Brazil- 200ms
Germany- 100-150ms
Uk- 70-100ms
Japan (6am sessions lmao)- 300-450+ MsSo even just matching cross country added a full 100 milliseconds of latency on top of the 5ms or so between your controller, PS4 etc and the 1ms extra refresh rate on your monitor....playing someone in Cali you are at best seeing that ball over 100 milliseconds late vs an eastern opponent who would be 30 Ms or so
Note, being p2p and some of the slowdowns when pitching help close these gaps some but it will always affect your hitting some

So basically there is sweet fk all that we can do about this?
The menu lag while making your lineup is usually pretty indicative of how much latency there is if that helps at all
Just had 3 event games where there was noticable lag while selecting my pitcher. That type of thing? Each game had considerable lag.
Yes, if you're selecting and it's instantaneous you're home team and hosting, if there's little lag then they're regionally close
If it's like 5 seconds you're probably playing an island dweller in the middle of bumfuck nowhere
