Hall of fame actually starts at 700, So you had been playing HoF quite a bit already
Pretty sure difficulty is dynamic, so it gets progressively harder each division. In other words, HoF @ 700 means HoF+ @ 800. Don’t know why, this just seems to be the biggest pci jump IMO

Get a 240hz monitor. It helps a lot.
I’m on a 165 monitor now. Given that PS5 runs only 60FPS for MLB the show, not sure this is the answer.
Unless I just missed an r/woosh

I believe you answered your question. Unless you are truly elite at the game, have an approach at the place. I typically am sitting on pitches unless I have two strikes. The speed is to fast to react.
Not the response I wanted to hear, but probably the one I needed to hear.
I realize many of you on this forum may find this post laughable, but please bear with me as it is my first year ever playing MLB the Show. I usually stick to BR, but lately I have been getting more into Ranked Seasons. Recently, I hit 800 ELO and faced DeGromm in my first game at this level.
Long story short, when I was at the plate I looked like Hellen Keller trying to hit a Randy Johnson heater. I could not catch up to his fastball in the 5 innings if I wasn’t sitting on it, and even when I was, I was still “just late.” The problem is, once I locked into the fastball, I lost all plate discipline and was swinging at breaking balls 2ft outside of the zone.
I don’t understand how someone can react that quickly to a pitch if they are not waiting for it— is there a tip for reading a FB vs a breaking ball upon release? Or do some people actually react to the flight path that quickly?
Thanks in advance for any help.
