Pitch speeds

If I want to have any fun at all in this game then I am forced to use directional hitting. I watch all these youtubers somehow consistently put the pci right on the ball time and time again and even then they don't get rewarded enough imo. I don't know how they can react so fast yet only make subtle movements to the pci. I play on a monitor, I'm stuck in the lower series and still fast balls are a blur to me. Somehow slower sinkers seem faster than faster fast balls. When I'm using zone hitting and by some miracle put the pci right on the ball, it goes nowhere. I know just because you put the pci on the ball it doesn't mean it will be a HR, but when factoring in the rare chance I actually do both things right and still nothing good happens. It's like, what's the point.

For me the pitch speed isn’t so much the issue. Although in fairness if I didn’t have a monitor and good internet I would be singing a different tune. To me the PCi is the problem. It is so [censored] small and you can miss by a hair or even worse by nothing and get dreaded good, okay. Plus the difference between good good and perfect perfect is almost indistinguishable on higher level.
I have great internet and a monitor and can't recognize or react to pitches quick enough in online AS play yet I can on legend in custom practice.
This exactly!!!

I dont disagree. For me...the way I hit is that like look in a zone and anticipate fastball. Unless something slow creeps in that zone.
If a fastball comes in that zone I tee off. If a fastball goes come place else I lay off, foul off (if I am lucky), but generally miss if I swing.

I like pitch speeds, just wish they'd stop rewarding guys that sell out for a fastball every pitch

Pitch speeds in ranked are a total dice roll... You face kluber every game, so it's not a like the motion is throwing me off, one game I'm early on every sinker, the next game I'm late
That’s also because the game bounces between skill settings depending on who you play, very frustrating. I’m hoping with the addition of Xbox and Switch next year it’ll add to the player pool and maybe they can institute seasons where it’s just one difficulty setting based off what one you choose.

Exactly! To be able to time every fastballs is unrealistic and then me throwing a change up every single pitch until I see you sitting on the changeup haha

You know the sinker tin foil hat conspiracy theory is all in your head right?. There was a great post on Operations Sports with a dude that did a frame by frame analyst to see how well pitch speeds maxed out in The Show 2020 is to Real Life. What he found out is that if you're playing on Legend with maxed pitch speeds it actually comes very close to RL speeds.....The Show 2020 is slightly slower though, what appears as a Chapman's 102 MPH fast ball in RL relates to The Show 2020 97 MPH fast ball..so close enough. I feel The Show 2019 got it correct, its slightly faster than 2020...maybe they should add a bit of speed in a future patch and maybe times will match RL. As for the sinker appearing extra fast this year?, its actually more realistic this year...frame by frame a 94 MPH sinker is the same as a 94 MPH fast ball the reason it appears as if its rising is that slight late movement of what a sinker is. Go read the post for a bit more detail or the casual/noobs that always doubts my posts

I think if 4 seamers had any movement at all it would make them much more effective. I agree with you. I'd like to see sinkers be less effective and 4 seamers get just a little movement to make them more effective. No pitch is perfectly straight in real life.
-
Simple solution is this.
Remove the checkswing in Online play all together
Do that and people will be forced to sit on one pitch and can't get bailed out swinging very early on every offspeed.

I'm here to keep you casuals from getting a big head and turning this forum into hot pocket/red bull noob fest, you guys need to be told the truth sometimes so you can be brought down from your delusional worlds.

As I've said to you before, I'm willing to put up, upload your sliders to the vault i'll start a legend franchise using your sliders and see how I do, you hop on to DD and see how you do, you talk a big game but everybody knows when push comes to shove you're just a troll that won't do it. Run away scared little boy, adults are talking.

Sinkers feel fast because that little wrinkle in it it makes my brain think breaking ball so I don’t jump on it the same as I do a fastball. When I can get my brain to treat it like a 2seamer that I need to get under I personally have more success

Yes buddy, that's exactly why it seems faster this year...can you also tell that to the rest of these noobs cause they are flippin out like they just found out their mom forgot buy hot pockets.

Yeah fun to play legend offline feels great but only luck online.
You like the game offline and how it feels on Legend level ? Is the CPU competitive ? Some people are saying it's easy even on Legend...
-
would be nice if the pitchspeeds are same Off-/Online in the same Difficulty and not change from Mode to Mode.
I mean Allstar offline is way slower than Allstar Online... -

Dude I'm not a noob, I don't play online but offline on Legend at pitch speeds maxed its very close to RL minus 1 frame which equals to about 4 MPH...I made a post about this. If Online is above this then you guys are prolly Aliens or robots to hit a pitch at that speed.....I have .5 seconds on Legend at maxed pitch speeds to react...what do you guys have at online? minus time travel? come on noobs.

90-92 you can usually see seams.
92-95 it starts to really quicken up on you.
You start pitching where this guys at you’re seeing nothing, you’re seeing vapour.
