@thongypu_psn said in This game is SO bad online:

I know people try and dismiss demise, but since I live pretty close to Boston I have decent games a lot. However, I've noticed people who are across the country it is usually bad. I can't imagine across the ocean.

I literally sit with my pci on the inside part of the zone in same handed matchups and can't hit the sinker unless I swing as he releases. The game has to be perfectly lag free (rare).

Yeah, I believe Demise though. Just a little bit of lag is brutal for a game like this where reaction time/input is so crucial.

Edit: I know there will always be some lag. But give us a ping indicator then I’ll decide which game I’ll play.

3 catchers I wanna see soon.. Javy Lopez, Thurman Munson, and Mauer.

Holy hell i hope not.

@jwkeep__psn said in What does superfractor give you aside from +5?:

Not that it means much but they should give you a banner that you were first on a player

That’d be kinda cool. Or like how it says who discovered a certain card.

Baseball is life man! Playing head to head against someone is a blast

Wow your game is definitely broken.

I don’t know what’s more pathetic. Dashboarders or you drafting 50 times just to use Mays

You do you though. That’s dedication lol

What’s pathetic about it? It’s literally the only way to use him right now.

Thanks for the insight though.

It’s not pathetic. People wanna use new cards and parallel them. I watched Chev do the same thing for Lou.

No I'm not quick pitching. People be pressing this [censored] button alllll game. I can understand the first time I bring out a pitcher you wanna check the pitches etc. After that? It's purposeful exploit.

You do realize it shows the location of all of the pitches you've thrown in that at-bat, right? It's not just about checking the pitch repertoire. It can be used to help see patterns in what you are throwing.

Do some people abuse it to slow down the game to a crawl even if you aren't quick pitching? Absolutely. However, R2 serves a purpose and it won't be going away any time soon.

How does holding it the second and third pitch show my tendencies fam? Ive thrown one pitch.

People tend to revisit locations. Sometimes I use R2 to check the exact spot and line up my PCI. It's led to more than a few perfect perfect homeruns.

Doesn't take r2 Every Pitch to figure that out. It takes one time.

It doesn’t take every pitch but it takes more than one time.. for me at least. It’s there, so I use it and it shows you alot. It shows you: pitchers energy, pitchers confidence overall, pitchers repertoire, the last AB/pitches of current AB (which lets you see patterns or even tunneling), what pitches are most to least used in the repertoire (not a big deal but still nice SDS does it), it shows the speed per pitch, and also the confidence per pitch. Might’ve missed something but that’s what it shows. Video game or not, it’s an edge and I’m using it.

@therainmaker29_xbl said in How is this Possible?:

Don’t overthink it. This is a bad game. The servers are complete trash. You can make all the changes you want on your end, it isn’t gonna matter. With the exception of a few maybe on the coasts.

Servers/connections in this game are really bad and have been for some time. I have wired fiber. I rarely disconnect but I can play a 5 hour session and have an hour's worth of wtf moments. I think I am the king of weak hits against me and non-pci hr's. I think it was Friday night I had 4 non-pci hr's against me in 2 games. Warping pitch speeds are more prevalent now too.

In my experience it gets worse. A lot of the people that deal with this stuff move on to Madden which means the majority of the people left are the ones that don't see this stuff very much. That means more issues for the players that are already seeing them.

Ball has been hand to glove instantly for me on HOF. Yet, certain people can turn on 102 legend like it is slow pitch softball. The advantage certain people have is ridiculous and won't be fixed without server/match making adjustments.

Not gonna lie but I’d take less content and legends for some dedicated servers. Or if they don’t do that, atleast bring back the ping indicator they used to have years ago.. I had crappy internet then but games played more consistently I thought. I’d just back out of the pregame lobby if someone had a red ping. That would help some

@schnauzerface said in Anyone else sick of early timed swings hrs?:

Early on the inside corner….

What’s a pull hitter?

Do what you thinks best. I love baseball so I’m gonna get early access and just deal with whatever happens.

I just got a Series X. I’m gonna preorder the deluxe edition because the show is all I play other than some CoD.

Series X just came today. I wanted to see and feel what others are saying about the input being better. It will be a bummer to get rid of the PS5 but if it’s true then it’s a no brainer for me. Mickey Mouse box it’ll be!

@raesONE_PSN and @TEXAS10PT_PSN did you guys game on a 27in or smaller monitor before getting the gig 32in? Just wondering because I wanna try a 32 out but don’t wanna spend too much on one if I end up not liking it.. I know 800 is a lot but I really have my eyes on some monitors dropping later this year. One for sure is the acer predator x32 fp (I’ve heard 1800 lol) but I wanna see a review first and again gotta try a 32 before I throw out that kind of money.

I played on a 27" Benq monitor for years before I switched to this 32". It is a significan increase if you sit behind a desk, but my desk is deep enough to not be overwhelmed by the size of the screen. I actually really really enjoy it, adds to my level of immersion.

Hmm, may have to pull the trigger and try it out! I’m using a BenQ 27in right now too and I’m tired of looking at it. Do you feel like you see the ball any better when hitting since it’s 4K and a bigger screen? Thanks man!

@msacks11_psn said in New All Star legend to be revealed Thursday:

If it's Chase Utley I will feel like they're making this years game just for me with all the Phillies content. But I could see it being an all time troll job in Citizens Bank Park and it being Hedeki Matsui. He seems like a player SDS would get.

I would love to see Bobby Abreu!

Bobby Abreu, Magglio Ordonez, Bernie Williams, Aramis Ramírez, Brian Giles just to name a few more that haven’t been mentioned. There’s so many but I want them all lol

I’d take a finest JRam.

@dbub_psn said in Trea Turner event coming back?:

It's so bizarre how different cards play for different gamers.

I've loved both Trea cards offline. But online? My Finest Trea is hitting 0.079. Pretty large sample size too.

Granted, I'm much better hitting with lefties, but I'm hitting over 0.300 and 1.100 OPS with All Star Xander.

I usually still use Trea and bat him 8th for his speed and defense.

Yeah different folks different strokes. A player's swing and stance can make a big difference from one player to the next and some might love it, others might hate it.

Totally agree. Also a big factor is the height of a player. Some like Cedric Mullins and some like Judge.

@johndarlas_mlbts said in Help With Controller Issues:

I recently moved to the Xbox Series X/S
The only issue I have with my controller is pinpoint pitching.
I press the right analog stick down, and the line stops halfway or goes to the left or right. I'm sure
It's something I'm probably doing wrong.

Nah it’s most likely not you. Xbox has had bugs with pinpoint pitching. They’ve patched it supposedly but I’ve heard some still complain.
