COTW

Do any of you use COTW to warm up before playing online?

I used to find this helpful but lately, the pitchers have all been such soft tossers (John means, Johnny Cueto, Dallas Keuchel) that it’s almost counter productive.

Every out starts back at rookie with a giant pci and super slow offspeed pitches, and yes, I realize it goes up every three hits, but it just seems like you have to get to Legend every out for it to even resemble what I face online.

Am I alone in this?

Best way to prepare for online play is to just go into custom practice but before you do, crank the pitch speed sliders all the way up. Then select a team who has good gas throwing pitcher, like Nolan Ryan, and good luck with that. You probably won't catch up to many of his fastballs but that's not the point. The point is manipulating your mind so that online the pitches will look slower.

Yeah, I did just that after COTW. Legend pitch speed vs Eckersly with tiny PCI seemed more relevant.

Next RS game I faced Patino, but could not touch him. Even custom practice on legend can’t compare to the weird laggy experience I just had.
