Was made wayyy worse after patch sad but true.

All about the connection. I know for a fact the best players in this game have a great connection majority of time. Bad conn you can't read ball out of hand and fastballs jump on you etc. I get maybe 50 percent of my games online that run good where I can play. Some nights all games are good some nights it's not worth fighting. I'ts comical watching a FB come in at 120

I seriously think that online connection is [censored] in this game. I have games too where the fastball is coming in at legend speed plus sometimes on all star. I sit back and just laugh been playing this game for like 20 years I know when it's off. Total [censored]

LMAO the game plays different everyday. I'm late online on allstar wayyy too often. The game is trash online right now. Then square it up and seldom rewarded. I can hit fastballs practice mode legend with speeds turned up but cant online allstar some games.

100 percent agree. No way guys with good records get the pitch speeds we play with more than 50 percent of my games. It's ridiculous to deal with this for years. These servers are str8 trash. So bad had to turn off cross play. Most xbox users I play against I'm wayy late on whatever they throw, the game sucks online and its a shame. Imagine being on All star sitting fastball up and in and swinging as soon as ball is released from hand and it blows by you!!!!!! Yes I said on All Star

@bonion said in Can't hit fastballs anymore:

@Sooner55 same here. I wonder if someone has much higher Mbps then their opponent Mbps, speeds up the frame rate of pitch favoring the lower Mbps player? I was late on everything and finally got the fastball down in 99mph range now I’m more early then late. Can’t find that in between. Guess I’d rather be early then late if I make it to HOF speeds anytime soon

Maybe man, I'm glad you guys are seeing the same thing because in those games my opponent are early on all fastballs and I'm like no [censored] way are they seeing the speeds I am.

I've been seeing this for weeks started one night in BR and I was like WTF!!! No way this is All Star the ball is coming in at 150. The bad thing was it happ all night untill server reset then I was back to normal. The game is unplayable when it goes turbo mode. Never seen anything like this over 15 years playing this game online. Really glad to see others with same issue. I hate to say it but it happens in half my games. I forwarded ports in router. Lol put ps4 in DMZ you name it. Doesn't matter still happens and I have 500 download speed with nothing else running. This has to be fixed.

I was like no way the real good players are having this happen. I asked a few and most said no they didn't know what I was talking about.

Game is str8 trash. All connection based. Plus gives bums life and your in battles with guys that don't even know how to play on low levels

@jjayp1 said in Pitch speeds lag:

Man, I started wondering after a while if I was going crazy. I'd go into games and the pitches would be at me the instant the ball left the pitcher's hand. It was maddening.

And then they decided to make pt2 of the 1st event on HOF which completely ruined it for me. I kept testing my internet and I was getting 200mbps but still this would happen.

I've never had this problem in previous games and I do just fine playing on legend offline but I haven't really seen this talked about on reddit.

I'm not holding my breath, but with this being a server issue I assume, anyone think they'll actually fix this bs? Or do their customary just ignore the problem unless backlash forces them to do otherwise?

I wish more would post about this. I'ts killed me from even wanting to play anymore. I'ts like wtf is the point? Not gonna fight a broken game driving me crazy.

LMFAO!!! Last night two perfect perfect flyballs with Trout And Reggie routine flyball outs ???? WTF I just started ranked seasons only 9=2 but seemed like the game made me stay close and lose to some sorry mfers. [censored] is whack man

Who said they made an adjustment?

They nerfed contact swing

LOL I'm hitting .180 and 8 hrs after about 90 ABs. Hitting into a lot of bad luck too.

So much easier to hit with 120hz in batting practice on ps5. They better add this for online

The game is utter trash right now!! SDS fix your game.

Yeah bro its killing my drive to want to play

Makes no sense how fastball speeds are broken for some of us

@raesONE said in Never playing an away game ever again:

You know what's weird though, sometimes I play away games and the timing windows seem to favor me. My opponent then seems to be late or very late on everything, while based on his record and averages I can tell he's a good player and I literally have to slow down my swings to not be in front of pitches. And then sometimes when I play at home it's the complete opposite, the timing windows seem impossible for me. Long story short, I'm completely lost when it comes to this and there is literally zero consistency.

Bingo I have the exact same issues!

It is bro I use a monitor as well
