How the [censored] do players hit the fastball. I reached division series last month, and I consider myself an above average player. But I still have so much trouble hitting the fastball. I've tried switching hitting views from Strike Zone to further back to switching PCI's yet I can't find anything that allow me to hit the fastball.
And it's just stupid because online the fastball is so much faster than playing MTO or even doing the stupid conquest or other CPU missions. The fastball seems 10mph faster online. I've always hated that they change speeds between HOF and AS and CPU, a 98mph fastball should be a 98mph fastball, always. Why can't they just make PCI's smaller and/or add more break to pitches, idk why they have to change pitch speeds all throughout the game.
They need to make online and offline the same I agree, I hate playing online with my god squad bc I can literally only warm up or practice with them on slow pitch softball conquest or risk my ranking on RS and it's annoying af

You can sit fastball on HOF and even with monitor and great internet you will still be too late on it. Timing really needs to be adjusted on HOF.

I finally conceded the TV vs Monitor argument. Getting here friday.
You will not be dissapointed. Its night and day difference. I couldnt hit 92 on a big screen without guessing. Monitor is the only way to play MLB imo.

Now somebody will tell you to get better at the game. Probably because they enjoy spamming unhittable fastballs up and in to righties with Nate Pearson and Michael Kopech, with Chapman and Britton awaiting any lefties who dare to step in.

I am actually pretty good at the game (I win around 75% of my games) but if someone is spamming high sinkers or fastballs and I sit on it then I should be able to punish it - as the game sits now one swing will be early and another too late as the ball warps from the pitchers hand to the glove. Timing is off on all difficulties but on HOF and up its really noticeable.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m winning more than I’m losing as well. It’s just not much fun.

That's what I'm hearing. For the past several years I've played on a 50" with game mode on, and for the most part felt competitive. 19 was the first game to make me truly feel at a disadvantage and 20, 20 makes me feel like I'm a complete scrub even in AS.

Timing needs to be adjusted period

I play on a tv and the way I try to combat the pitch speeds is from pitching rebels hitting video. Go to practice mode on legend and turn the fastball sliders all the way up so that when you play online it looks the same

Is it possible for a game to test the user’s input lag and then adjust the experience based on that?

What are the benchmark stats for great gaming monitor? Imagine refresh rate and what else? What RR is considered great? I'm gonna make the switch because FB are killing me online. Offline different story.
