    If you do not deal with warping pitches, noodle bats, slow base stealer jumps, etc, this does not apply to you. Please move along. Nothing for you to see here.

    Does anyone remember in COD the ridiculous host advantage that players used to have when they were host? Well this is similar. While playing the event last night I really paid attention to the opponent name and how the game played. Coincidentally, every game that had a name from or really close to where the alleged servers are (New Jersey, Florida, Chicago, Texas, Denver, West Coast) played really bad. I had a hard time getting hits in these games despite good pci placement, pitches felt faster, baserunning was terrible, felt like I was throwing slow pitch softball with outlier pitchers. It was frankly just a miserable experience. Funny enough the other games played fine. Getting rewarded, turning on pitches, etc.

    Curious to hear from people that test this. Now you could play someone in or close to those areas and have no idea.

    You’re probably on to something. I remember in a different post a gentleman said that he was early on every pitch and you asked him if he was from like Florida or Denver or New Jersey. He happened to be from Denver. Of course it could be a coincidence, but I do feel people are having completely different experiences online. And it has to be something. So maybe it’s, as you said, proximity to servers. I’ve only been playing this game for three years, has a moderator in the forums ever commented on anything pertaining to a topic such as this?

    They never comment on anything unless it is a I can't purchase stubs thread.

    I've wondered this year why I am getting matched with so many people with Chicago, NY, Florida, etc in their name. Most of these games are horrible experiences. I still win some of these but the game play just isn't fun. Now, rebel is very skilled but I never see him experience the things I do. I am by no means saying I should be 300-30 because I don't care. I enjoy using different cards in RS. I just want a fun experience and that is dwindling.

    I usually can't even see legend pitching. I should at least be able to see it. Reacting at my age may be a different story. Seems like people close to the servers with skill are able to turn on 102 legend easily.

    How certain are you that when you play someone is a “host”?

    Well, I think the home team is host but that doesn't matter when I play people from those areas. Again, if they are from those areas. The game play will be bad whether I am home or away. That is why home hunting doesn't really do anything for me.

    The thing that I don't get, is I never had these issues until last year. I've been using the same setup since 18 at least. Same console, same ISP, same speeds. Yet I didn't start seeing the underwater batting until about a month into 20. I even went back to try 19 last year and it was still fine while 20 was playing like dung.

    I wonder if they changed a server location. Not sure.

    Just because someone has a team name/logo of a certain city/country that doesn't mean that's where they're located.

    My team name is the Altoona Curve.
    .
    I was born and raised near there; but I know reside in a different town and a different state.

    Haha nice! I used to go to their games. I grew up in SC so 30 mins away. Small world

    Ok. I’ll keep that in mind next time I play. I sometimes get warping balls but sometimes don’t. I’ll keep an eye on if it’s me. (It won’t be me, but will see if it only happens when I’m away)

    I'm really close to punting this game. Another laggy warping game spamming 93 mph sinkers that I had to swing as soon as the ball left the hand. Knew I should have quit in the first inning. If I quit every time, I would literally play maybe 40% of the games. Game is really getting not fun. You're telling me that 1000 miles away is the best opponent you can get for me? [censored]!

    All the adderall and red bull in the world wouldn't help me catch up to these warping pitches. I have fun about 40%, rest is trash. Yep, tried switching DNS too, it doesn't matter.

    They have done studies you know? 50% of the time, it works every time.

    I don't think there is much to this. You named all parts of the country, so someone lives close by one of those places. I live in Texas and I live closer to Minnesota than El Paso Tx. So not sure how a TX server could benefit me when a Chicago server could be closer depending on where the server is in my state. Plus some of my worst connection games are against people nearby.

    I have played 2 atl people, 2 chicago people and 2 california people just today and they have all been horrible experiences. I have also friendly quit out of 3 games. This game is getting unplayable. My best connection games are people from KC.

    @D_e_m_I_s_E_PSN playing somebody from Wichita… it’s a lag fest, everytime I play somebody in the midwest it happens…

    BTW, I’m the home team and I’m in NY. It shouldn’t be laggy

    That is certainly interesting if they are from Wichita. Not real close to Denver or Texas.

    I just had a game earlier that was very laggy. Struck out 11 times in 15 ab's against Ohtani who I usually hit pretty well. I would have quit this game in the 1st inning but the guy was a cheeser. Only guys that didn't k were daddy vlad and jr. Jr hit 2 HR's and he quit when Sr's was going over the fence. He would have had an easy win if he wouldn't have cheesed.

    My games have been super laggy tonight and I have tried everything from changing dns, wifi and some other things. Nothing is helping. I usually make WS pretty easy but this one is going to be tough.

    I always lag against midwest teams. I wish I know why.
