<![CDATA[Someone please tell me why I play this game online]]>Pitches 120 mph on all star. Yet, I'm apparently throwing slow pitch softball. What I wouldn't give to have one of these "elites" come to my house and flail at pitches you flat can't see. I used to be able to score 10 runs a game on HOF. I can't hit [censored] on all star with these 120 mph wiffle balls.

I literally have more fun doing the deGrom showdown than I do playing online against people with McDonald's wifi.

@D_e_m_I_s_E_MLBTS It might be your internet connection. Who is you ISP? Maybe time for an upgrade.

Google fiber is some of the best internet in the country.

Thought it may be NIC on PS5 but Series X does the same thing.

I managed to finish the moonshot event and also get Acuna.

Connection is important but my two biggest gripes with online play is 1) RNG ....when it decides you'll make 2 throwing errors in a row to let the winning run score or how all of a sudden your perfect metered pitches go 2 feet off the plate or down the middle, anywhere but where you aimed them. 2) patience is not rewarded. Waiting on a good pitch pans out way less than swinging at [censored]. Nothing like losing on a late inning HR somebody hits off a pitching breaking in at shoelaces. Magically pulling it over the wall in a near impossible fashion.

I get it RNG absolutely has to be in a sports game and I have benefited from it as much as lost but I just hate how often it dictates outcomes so I prefer to play offline.

When I'm hitting I'm late on everything as they're zooming in. They never should have tweaked the timing windows this year, it hasn't been jiving well with the netcode
