I know people try and dismiss demise, but since I live pretty close to Boston I have decent games a lot. However, I've noticed people who are across the country it is usually bad. I can't imagine across the ocean.
I literally sit with my pci on the inside part of the zone in same handed matchups and can't hit the sinker unless I swing as he releases. The game has to be perfectly lag free (rare).
Yeah, I believe Demise though. Just a little bit of lag is brutal for a game like this where reaction time/input is so crucial.
Edit: I know there will always be some lag. But give us a ping indicator then I’ll decide which game I’ll play.

In a game that timing is the most important concept, we really need to have some consistent servers. I wish we could maybe choose a region to play in maybe??

That would be an improvement, but it would lock me out from playing against the main player base given the fact I live in Europe. It would be better to have dedicated server locations that we can all benefit from.

This is my first year playing and I have always wondered how online would work for a baseball game where timing is everything. This game has shown me that baseball can be played online and is super cool when it works...but the other time it is beyond frustrating. I am just glad to know I am not the only one.
The past day I have really tried to focus on my timing and see if I can adjust based on the connection, but that only seems to work sometimes. It really seems that the lag/timing issue can vary from pitch to pitch...but no doubt each game is a mystery in itself. I guess it is just a learning process to try and figure out timing in this game.
It is one thing to deal with timing different pitches, pitchers, deliveries, etc....but add in variable lag and it is just a completely different issue.

Like I don't even know where to start to explain it. I fcking hate it, not even joking. I feel like previous years had their obvious flaws but this game is outright unplayable 9 out of 10 games due to my location. I either get matched up with people from the US or with Koreans/Chinese/Japanese people. I can swing as soon as the pitch leaves the hand and still be late on a mediocre fastball. It's awful.
People ask me why I haven't been playing RS this year. Well that's the reason. I rather dance on legos 8 hours a day than play a single game of this mess.
Okay rant over, I got my 97 Chapman so time to kick this game back to the curb where it belongs.
100 percent with you. I got matched up with someone from Dominican Republic and despite all the lag and pitch warping I have a 9 to 5 lead and now stuck in a freeze off. I mean you would think as long as they have been putting out this game that some things would be figured out but nope. Lack of competition isn’t helping anything either. They just don’t care
Internet in the Dominican Republic is worse than the internet here in the US, I can tell you by experience… it’s one hell of a match when you play somebody living there

Online play is pathetic. Absolute joke that the quality of your gameplay online is dictated by your connection to someone else and how good their internet is
Online play will never be good or consistent until they heavily invest into their servers or we get dedicated servers and not this P2P garbage

I live in Ireland so playing this game online is a nightmare sometimes. It's hard to get the motivation to play alot of ranked to try and improve when ur playing at a disadvantage most of the time

I feel your pain but according to El flama blanca, dolenz, raylewissb47 and many others, the laggy warping pitches don't exist or are a product of your internet.
Made 1100+ rating, top 50, countless flawless runs
I'm not feeling optimistic about my chances to improve with gameplay the way it is if a player of your calibre is frustrated.

I mean if you're not struggling with the latency issues that I am encountering, then I guess the sky is the limit. There are plenty of top players who hit just fine, who not coincidently hardly ever suffer from these issues.

I live in center of the U.S. on wired fiber and online has been a nightmare a lot lately. Was some before but it has gotten noticeably worse. Pretty sure it has to do with less people playing.

I definitely do at times. I won't be going flawless or making WS anytime soon whether or not the game plays well, but it's hard to stomach the times when the game plays badly and it affects the outcome. I'm not griping about losing, as I'm capable of arranging that myself without the help of lag or latency issues, but I'm never happy when I have a play to make an out but the command doesn't register.
