It is what it is at this point. Allstar is a foul ball fest and hall of fame/legend is boring. I just ignore ranked and play events/BR
You're playing against people... how does difficult come into play?
Pitch speeds, pci size, pitch accuracy, sliders....
Are you new?
Yes, actually. You can adjust difficulty in online mode??

No once you reach a certain level in ranked seasons it switches from allstar, to hall of fame, to legend.
Most events are allstar. Br is allstar as well. Welcome to the show

No. It's set by the game mode and ranked is dynamic. I'm not sure how it adjusts. Events will tell you what the difficulty is when you enter. I don't necessarily believe it's really the difficulty it says though. I can hit way better AS vs the CPU then AS in the events.

Not only that, but the sliders are not consistent across all modes. All Star on BR is on a different slider set than events, which is different from Ranked Season. Events tend to be offense oriented, RS is tighter, favors defense more. BR feels about right (though all depends on who you draft and where you play, may slightly favor offense).

Guess Pitch???? Yeah... No. Go practice and get better friend.

Practice what? I'm not a pro ball player and neither are any of us. PCI is not sufficient for such a wide array of possibilities. It's a guessing game. Just not fun at all.

I literally just brought in a reliever in an event game. His energy showed green. The opponent paused the game. When he unpaused, the reliever's energy was yellow. WTF.

If people can score 15+ runs on legend I’m sure anybody that plays the game a moderate amount can hit the ball hard on hall of fame. It’s like everything else in life. You have to put the time in to get better at the game. If you don’t like the idea of that or you’re not willing to do that, you can always do something else.

This isn’t a game you’re just magically good at. Like anything else you have to play/practice to get better. I started online in 18 and wasn’t all that good but the more I played the better I got. Made WS the first time in 19, more consistently in 20, and this year I’ve made it every season and gone 12-0 for the first time this year and have done it twice more since. Like this guy said above, you have to put in effort to get better

LOL. From what I can see, everyone that can hit on legend is pretty close to an alleged server location. If so, that is not a coincidence.

I mean I played for a few months at home in AZ with no issue and have been playing for a few months in North Dakota with no issue

I seriously doubt many people can score 15 on legend. In my and my friends(pretty much all World Series players) experience people quit after about 3 runs. I see streamers/youtubers mercy people and am not discounting their skill but it does make me wonder. I heard a relatively big streamer say the other day he messages people before the game starts that it’s for a video, he very well could have been joking but that would explain some of the scores

The game just plays different online than it does offline. Connections play a factor and you’re usually facing a better pitcher online than offline

Oh I get it. I'm just saying that even on AS vs CPU, I never feel overmatched by the pitcher like I do in an online game.

@dewrock_psn said in Online mode is just not fun.:
Not to mention that for every 10 games, you're pretty much guaranteed to face AS DeGrom about half the time.
I wish it was only 50%, more like 7 out of 10 games lol

Guys who score 15+ runs on legend don't touch grass, lack vitamin D and have never had a date

Who are you facing on All Star vs CPU though? Chances are, you're facing a Live Series pitcher and not the 97-99 OVR type of pitchers you routinely see online. That makes a major difference - the pitch speeds and PCI sizes are drastically different even though both are on All Star, as well as decision making of which pitches to throw and where they're thrown at. And then mix in connection speed/lag, and online/offline are two very different experiences, even on the same difficulty level.

The way I look at it some people are just superhuman. Doesn't make the game any less flawed.
