I have wired fiber and see warping pitches all the time. It gets worse as time goes on. My theory is that the people with good internet get tired of the laggy bs and quit or go to other games. This causes the few players with good internet to match up with even worse connections, resulting in very poor online play. Always seems to be decent to start with more players and then gets worse the more people leave. Just a theory after years of analyzing this stuff.

I could list a whole bunch of stuff that laggy online play causes:
bad fielding animations
noodle bat
more bloops and bleeders for opponent's
better results for hitting for opponent's
baserunning errors
slow jumps on base stealing attempts
lag on tag up plays
warped pitching
list goes on and on

This has been my experience. I was on fiber the last few years, but I just moved. Now I have 250 down and 50 up, also fiber. The upgraded band width has completely ruined the game, hence the reason I've stopped playing.

lol, why do you guys do this???

Let's go ahead and walk through this together. You will see I was gone for almost a month, then TA came out, after reading about the AS content and new TA content, I downloaded the game again, a WEEK after the content dropped. I checked it out for two days, same game, deleted again.

It's not tough to figure out if you do actual looking, instead of trying to snipe someone with a "gotcha!"

Try again

you were gone two weeks nice try

lol, I'm sorry your servers just went down again, in July. This was my last attempt at a sports game, too many problems with all the others. Maybe the MLB will finally let lose, and let other game developers have a crack at baseball.

RBI has been out for the past few years and EA just purchased Metalhead Software which makes Super Mega Baseball (outstanding game)

I believe I tried a demo of Super Mega Baseball, it seemed like a fun game, but there was a learning curve. I might go back to it next year. Now that we are getting to the best part of the year for new releases, I'm going to have other things to keep me busy.

Thank you for the suggestions!

You talking 'Ego 99 difficulty?'
You haven't lived until you try to hit pitch and win on that! 🤯

it's b/c of all the crazy pitchers in this game and pinpoint pitching where every pitch can be located perfectly

Bingo

On top of pinpoint making everything on the black, even when you do manage to square one up it often goes straight to someone. If you are gonna make good user input give fantastic results for pitching, hitting needs the same treatment.

It’s pretty simple. PPP ruined this game. And now that the H/9 and control on every pitcher is maxing out, it’s a nightmare.

The best thing SDS could do is disable PPP, and rework it for next year.

All the had to do was make analog and meter more accurate which they actually did do. Making PPP to me was an overcorrection and the game plays a lot worse at the higher levels because of it. I really wish it would get removed but the streamers love it, so it's likely here to stay

Thought they fixed the contact swing? Apparently not
