I have yet to win a game and I’m absolutely overmatched. I went from 750 (last game on PS4) to low 600s in a blink of an eye. I have never ever striked out so much in the last three years. On HOF level it’s near impossible to hit. Allstar feels like HOF.
On average on HOF online I’m around 5 strikeouts and 1 or 2 SOs on Allstar. Now I’m closer to 10 on Allstar and my last HOF game was 16!!!! I have no idea what’s going on? I’ve checked my settings and play with a monitor and it’s getting to the point it’s downright unplayable for me.
On Allstar I use to think the pitches were so slow and now they’re at HOF speed for me. Anyone else experienced this? I’m usually an upper 800 and will make WS if I put in the effort type player. Now 600 ranked guys are mopping the floor with me.
This definitely happened to me. I’m generally pretty good. Never miss ws and have multiple 12-0 brs but I picked up a ps5 a few weeks ago and I started off ok but didn’t feel comfortable. I kept getting worse. I think when I switched over I was 7-1 on the season and mid 800 and now down in 600. Was on a 10-0 run for br and blew that. I’m was late on everything even on all star. Hooked up my PS4 last night and tried a few event games and timing was perfect. I tried different setting combinations on the ps5 and the show and couldn’t get it right. I’m hoping I can figure it out with 21 because I absolutely sucked the last few weeks.

I think there's only 1 viable fix for this; you need to sell your PS5. I'll give you the retail price for it and cover shipping costs.
Lol I’m having fun with cyberpunk. If I can’t get a handle on what’s going on I’ll just stop MLB and play CyberPunk til MLB21 drops.

My wife was all excited as she brought me a big, heavy Amazon box yesterday. I think she THOUGHT it was a PS5 she pre-ordered a while back. She said "Here's your early Christmas present!!!"
I opened it and it was a 64oz bottle of Tide, some fabric softener, two jars of Skippy peanut butter, and some napkins.
I said... "Thank you?"
LOL, at least you have one on the way... or do you haha
I'm going to use the Tide to wash away all the tears spilt on my shirt today...

This is reassuring to hear and I recognize your name too. We have played a couple two three times throughout the years and they have always been great close games and know you’re a good player.
It’s like does the ps5 try to process what’s going on with the PS4 technology? Is there something funky going on with how the fps is being delivered? Do I need a monitor that better suits the 5? IDK, I know nothing about this stuff.

That’s kind of what I’m thinking or hoping that being that this is a PS4 game on ps5 it’s just a bit off and 21 will be fine. It just feels like the timing windows are a mess for me.

SDS is putting us all in a constant state of Beta mode - its absolute nonsense and all of your comments are 100% valid

I'm having tons of fun playing it, wish I could play on PS5 though with a more stable framerate but PS4 Pro isn't horrible thankfully. Not perfect, but not horrible like base PS4 and Xbox.

I've always waited to get new consoles going back to the PS2, but then again those were price gouged to the hilt back in the day. Now i can afford a '5,' but still love my '4.'
There must be some settings that can be adjusted to get your game skills back, or just go back to the PS4.
Is the PS5 controller that different if at all? -

I second this and I'll even give you retail price even though you've opened the box
Hey get in line buddy, I was first
Walmart.com in 7 minutes if you wanna grab an L real quick
My European a$s probably can't buy there anyway if I were lucky enough to get one in the cart.
You would need to buy an extra adapter to play in Europe right? To power it up?

I'm in the same boat, but still have my old ps4. Made Championship series for the first time last RS, and now sitting in the 500's. Funny thing is I'm 8-2 in the HOF event and all games are like 1-0 / 3-2 / etc. NO ONE can hit in that event. I think they have done something with the sliders across the board.
Oh and I got destroyed by a 600 player last night. The whole time I'm saying this person has to be in the high 700's only to find out he was barely 600. So either I just suck all of a sudden or their is a fresh crop of highly skilled players.
It does bring comfort to know I'm not the only one though!
They 150% changed something. All I’ve seen in streams and throughout my gameplay is that it is completely different.
Agreed. Similar situation to the OP minus the PS5. I am also striking out ALOT more batters in this event than other HOF events. I wish they would announce if/when they changs things. I have to press my hit button when the pitcher is almost finished with his windup to catch up to a 102mph fastball.
-
Just played a 14 inning nail biter in the event. 10 TOTAL hits between us both. Opponent struck out 29 times, and me 17. This isn't very fun. Worse than the dead ball event. I'm seeing people swing when the pitch is already in the catchers mitt.

Funny that I am reading a lot of what is going on with me also. Seems like I am only playing brand new people in silver or gold range and have very few games in so their lineups must be bought. They are super fast at hitting and I get my a s s handed to me regularly all the time now. They can get to any pitch I throw anywhere and crush it, and at the same time I can not even make contact most of the time anymore. I would swear that the game is slowed down on their end when hitting so they have way more time to respond. I have had this game for quite a few years now and play more games than you can imagine. There is not that many super fast hand newbees playing this game all of a sudden, I am not buying it. Something is up.......

Its possible that this could be alternate accounts from great players and I thought the same when I've been experiencing the same thing lately,but regardless of my opponent my hitting seems way off and not in a sense that I'm in a slump or something. I did just hit 100 prestige recently. Maybe that's when you get nerfed or something.
Idk whats up but this is annoying and the game is borderline unplayable. Whatever they did they need to switch it back and like yesterday!
-
Seems we may not be the minority, but the majority. More and more posts are popping up describing essentially the same experience we are having
-
As I said, something is off. But I don’t mind as I am out pitching the opponent who is equally struggling FB to hit.

True... but definitely frustrating when you perf/perf a high inside 102mph fb and its caught at the warning track.... and this seems to be the norm not the exception.

They have it listed as the Giant Baseball Event. It's really the Prestige Nate Pearson Event.

It’s turned me off from playing, last night was the first night in forever I decided to play a different game. I’m a year round player almost daily unless I’m busy that night. My free time has always been mlb and last night I said uncle. I thought why put myself through this and feel frustrated when this is suppose to be an outlet. Sure we all get frustrated but this time it feels like it’s completely out of my control. If this is the way the game will be then it is what it is and I am no longer able to hang with the big boys I guess. I just really hope something was tweaked and it can be brought back to normal.
If anything I’ll just log on to prestige pitchers because strikeouts are coming easily now if your guy throws 102mph.

How heck would someone be worse on PS5? Makes no since when considering higher refresh rate than PS4, which has been proven to help people see the ball. This makes me think issue is not PS5 and that SDS adjusted sliders or something on backend.

My thoughts exactly but every comment on here is how I’ve experienced it too. Facing DeGrom on HOF I felt if I didn’t swing the very split second on his release on a FB I would be late.
I also noticed I was consistently “too late” not “late” or “very late” but overwhelming consistent on “too late” as if my timing was skewed 2 notches towards late. I’m generally a just early or early swinger on HOF.
