Timing windows are at an all time worst
-
Every swing is like swinging under water. It's always been bad for god knows how many years, but these last few days have been brutal. It's so bad it's mindblowing.

Check your tv game mode setting. Also, I used to play on an older large TV and every swing was late. I borrowed a new smaller TV from my daughter and on game mode my swing are excellent. My kid was nice and gave it to me.

I've been playing on a monitor for many years, so I appreciate the advice but that's really not the problem. I'm knowledgeable when it comes to input lag and network settings.

Oh, well. Hope you get it worked out then. The hit timing works excellent for me anyway.

I'm talking about timing windows, not hit timing.

Ok. Enlighten me. What is a timing window.

The window you have to get good/perfect timing on your swing. When the game is laggy, you have to overcompensate and swing much sooner to get good timing on it. Because in your screen the baseball is just about to leave the pitcher's hand but according to the game registration, the pitch is already passing the strike zone. So the windows are off and don't represent what you see on your screen correctly and that makes playing one game to the next pretty much impossible to get your timing down.
Edit: sometimes it works the other way around and you have to sit back way longer on a pitch or you'll be early. Same concept but just in the opposite direction.

I see! Thanks for explaining that to me.

I'm actually trying to get to 40 wins in RS this cycle. As some of you know, I'm not WS-level. but I hang out in the 600 range. I feel like it's all over the place. One game, I'm squaring up everything Corbin Burnes throws at me, the next I'm swinging a second after it hits the catcher's mitt. I know that some of it is my internet lag, and MOST of it is ME. But it just feels all over the place.
This is completely anecdotal, but I don't seem to have the same issue in BR. BR feels much more consistent to me.

Like you, not the greatest, hangout in the 600-700 range and 19 games above .500 currently. Game last night seemed really weird. I struggled vs Cole getting 1 hit through 9 and only 3 hits total through 15 innings. Somehow still ended up winning but that was very frustrating and weird experience. I just couldn't get my timing down at all.
I'm hoping it was just me being tired after a long day but I don't know.

Also, it could be matching up with folks far away. I live near Jacksonville, FL, and last year I played tons of people in FL and GA. This year, I've been playing a ton of games with guys from NY and NJ. My AOL dial-up just isn't up for the challenge.
And I'm old and tired.

Isn't Fred Durst also from Jacksonville?

I think the guy I played was local. He had the same city name as mine. Not that means he was in my area but chances are it wasn't someone in Germany lol

I feel like they're putting to much emphasis on the contact rating of the hitter as well. When you have timing windows that fluctuate anyway, factoring in lag and swing animation as well is kind of a nightmare.

We need dedicated servers asap.
I faced the other day Edward Cabrera in back to back games. One game I mercied my opponent in 8, the next I struck out 17 times to inside sinkers even tho I knew it was coming. I had to sell on it, my opponent realized it and started playing rocking chair with me.

Yeah, but you still did it all for the nookie.

I just shut somebody out starting John Franco gor 6 innings. I put up a whopping 1. Seems pretty legit.
On the real though timing windows are alright minus when lag is involved. I get good timing a lot. A big issue is it doesn’t matter lol.

as someone who lived in Jacksonville for 2 years i felt that statement. Like get it straight I’m not from there just passing by jville is another level of crazy lol

The games were brutal for me last night and the game I played today. All star difficulty and on a monitor and pitch speeds just seemed off the charts to me. This game just does not play consistently and it’s frustrating.
