@yankblan_PSN No I wouldn’t do that! Too extreme and the time to reinstall everything! Borrow a pS5 controller from a buddy maybe?
Good idea. I still have quite a few hardware/network variables to rule out.

@thee-kidd-is-hot_PSN probably; you might have to backup and wipe out the entire console to factory settings and reinstall everything. If you care enough to go through that pain.
Oof, I sure hope not. If I could definitively rule everything else out then maybe. I mean, I have lots of other games installed but only play this one.
Yeah, not just ranked but all modes in Diamond Dynasty including single player. Non-DD, offline modes like custom practice and Challenge of the Week are not affected.
Since you have to be connected to the internet in any Diamond Dynasty mode I thought it might be something wrong with my network connection. I'm no expert, but the fact that the bug/glitch only occurs in a specific pitch location leads me to believe it's a software issue.
Hadn't thought of that- I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
Yeah, I was gonna say I could test contact and power swings, too, while I'm at it.
So, I uninstalled/reinstalled this morning. Jumped into a vs CPU game and... same deal. Middle-away pitches to righties/middle-in to lefties is not registering the input in DD.
Yeah, exactly what I thought. The specific location makes me think it's a software issue. And, yes, the 5G ain't ideal for The Show. I haven't uninstalled but I'll try that later today. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm a not-great player and I don't want to have to fight lag/latency in addition to my lack of skill. If you're not aware already, you can gauge the quality of you and opponent's network connection on the screen where you select your pitcher. Scroll through your pitchers, and if you can scroll smoothly then it's usually a good connection. If the scrolling lags, then you can be sure the game will, too. Back out and get another game.
In addition to that little tip I'd suggest taking pitches until they throw a strike, at least through 1 inning. Check the pitcher analysis (Pause screen>Game Stats>Pitcher Analysis, iirc) after one time through the order to see what pitches they're throwing more often and sit on those.
Hey everyone — wondering if anyone else is running into this issue.
I'm on PS5, and when playing MLB The Show 25 in Diamond Dynasty online, I'm noticing that every 10 pitches or so, my X button swing input just doesn’t register at all. This only happens when pitches are located middle-in to left-handed hitters or middle-out to right-handed hitters.
At first I thought I was just getting froze, or only thought I was pressing x, but it happens regularly and consistently on pitches only in that location. Then I thought it was my controller, but I tested it on hardwaretester.com with no issues.
To be clear — this is not user error. I'm not a good hitter, but I'm 100% sure I'm fully pressing the X button in time when the glitch occurs, and there's no check swing or partial animation. It's like the game just doesn’t recognize the input. There’s no issue with the controller itself in other games or offline modes in The Show. I’ve tested it in Custom Practice and Challenge of the Week with the same pitch locations and had zero problems.
Some details:
Console: PS5
Mode: Diamond Dynasty online only
Connection: 265 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up / 25ms ping, wired to Verizon 5G Home Internet
Controller: Standard DualSense, works perfectly in other contexts
This seems like either a netcode/input-buffering issue or some strange desync tied to pitch location. It’s making ranked games really frustrating because I’ll completely miss hittable pitches through no fault of my own.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is SDS aware?
