They really have got to do something about pitch speeds next year!
In the same game, you can have half the community struggling to catch up to outlier fastballs and sinkers online, and you can have Madison Baumgarner throwing 88mph four seams in COTW starting on rookie. Those pitches are SO slow it is ridiculous.
The difference between Baumgarner on rookie and Ryan on All star is huge, and I’m not even talking about HOF or legend.
Even leaving aside the fact that the pitch speeds from mode to mode vary considerably (not to mention connection issues), IMO there needs to be a LOT more consistency in pitch speeds for this game to make sense.
I know many will argue that they are having a hard enough time hitting online as it is, but I would argue that more universal pitch speeds (like Baumgarner and Ryan at the extremes of ONE difficulty as a margin) would be a vast improvement.

Server connection issues for me is the main thing to improve ... every time I see Puerto Rico I know I'm fcked the fact that timing or latency is so different from game to game even at the same difficulty make this game barely enjoyable

It is sad that I have an amazing team but I can’t hit the fastball, or sinker. Everybody pitches high and in corners and I have never struggled this badly in any of the MLB The Show games. I have made World Series in previous editions, and I have always been in contention in Championship Series but this year I feel helpless competing in Penang Race and Wild Card (I do not even want to go higher than that because the game will suck more)The event games are not fun at all, and not even the all star games in Ranked Seasons. It seems the target this year were more pros. The hitting PCI has been getting worse since the beginning of the year. I was more competitive with 86-89, and low 90s cards Than now with a 99 team, it just does not make sense!!! I hope they do something about this too in MLB the Show 22.

LOL - I get PR players all the time here in northern FL. Every once in a while it's a good connection, but usually it's "blink" and a 102 mph FB is past me. In the latest event, my first 2 opponents quit after I struck out the side in the 1st inning, so... "silver lining"?
-
- Remove the "outlier".
- Use HOF pitch speeds in EVERY division.
- Adjust pci size in each RS division accordingly.
There is no need to revert back to slow pitch MLBTS18.

I honestly believe if you have a hard wired quality speed connection and play someone on bad Wi-Fi you will end up with the warping pitches.

They won't put HOF difficulty pitch speeds as the only pitch speed in H2H games.
It will alienate to much of their player base.

I don’t care what pitch speed they use as long as it’s universal. I would prefer HOF with all star pci.

But yes I agree with you……one pitch speed, adjust pci accordingly.

I'm in Quebec ... Quebec city ..... The but* hole of Canada ... I also win most of my game vs PR but it's a freakin pain shove deep down in between
then slowly get up trough my brain, sometimes I'll be happy to see that "blink" and not just a fkn dot freezing until the ref make his call. I'm not complaining it's just not even fun... well ok I complain ... sorry ! -
First of all until they fix the issues with the servers no matter what game play changes they make it won’t matter.

They won't fix the servers and connection issues. Their precious coast streamers that are right next to the servers wouldn't be 500-50. Just look at the leaderboards or ask where people are from. Almost every top player is located really close to an alleged server location. Close to server with mediocre internet are the best ingredients for this game.

I don't play ranked so it is not an issue for me but I can't see them changing all divisions to HOF pitching. As mentioned, it would alienate too many players. It also would serve to dissuade new players from investing in online play. Once they get shut out or no hit a few times and they will simply give up and stop playing.
Maybe a better option would be a Preferred Pitch Speed and PCI option for online/ranked that acts like a floor but not a ceiling.
For example if you set your settings to HOF for both then you will never go below that even in the lower divisions. If you choose Veteran/All-star you would see those difficulties as normal in the lower divisions but the game would then still ramp up the difficulty as you advance like it does now.
That would give you what you want (consistency in pitch speed) without shutting out new players.

Stop there once for gas ... thought the guy in the service station was about to shot me for giving him money so yes a focking cold place ! I forgot the name ... it's the last city in Ontario when you go west ... a full grown half men at McDonalds tell me I can't sell dope here because it was his territory and he show me his knife... I was like huh ? I got two baggies of mayo take it if you want... so he throw me gang sign and I laugh so hard I almost [censored] myself. People's are awesome sometimes ! *** THUNDER BAY ***
