stop playing on a TV and get a monitor?

Lol, that part is outdated dude.i just upgraded from a monitor to a tv. Yeah you heard that right. Not too many monitors under 2k gonna beat an LG oled

This.

Almost all new tv panels (in game mode) have the same input delay (A.K.A - input lag) as monitors at @60hz (which is what the game plays at). The HDMI input specs dictate this, not the panel's advertised "response time," which is just marketing jargon for a function that deals with screen ghosting, which is a problem of the past.

You can view the different TV's performance ratings at Rtings.com

If you compare the top rated monitor that can only display a 1080P picture @60Hz @12.4ms input lag here >>>> https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/inputs/input-lag

...versus the top rated TV that can display an image of 4K 10bit HDR in game mode @60Hz @8.9ms input lag>>>https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag

...you can quite simply see that the bottle neck is the game being capped at 60 frames per second, and in that vein TV players are currently playing the game with a better picture at a near identical performance.

Though they have sped up simulations in conquest, I feel like the CPU is throwing less meatballs early in the count this year, causing me to be more patient and take more pitches, making the time sink versus last year about a wash.

Fingers crossed for a Braves Billy Wagner.

I don’t think they’d give him two 90+ braves cards. Maybe a 300 saves milestone with the Mets instead?

That would certainly work as well, though a 400 Saves Braves card is still possible.

Fingers still crossed for a Billy Wagner.

Low vision combined with JD being a "balanced" hitter narrows the swing timing window down to perfect perfects in order for quality contact. On rookie, you really have to wait on pitches with him. Anything at all early, even just slightly results in poor contact.

Same here.

I concur.

Having a blast playing the cpu with rosters loaded with goons.

The AI feels very fresh, and each game totally unique. kudos!

This thread is surprisingly civil with well thought out responses.

I think SDS has done an exceptional job of swatting away the bots that are infecting other games and forcing their developers to drastically cut down on rewards for offline play. MUT this year has basically given the proverbial finger to all but the fat wallet whales, by making the offline grind impossible.

First 2 swings for me were both bombs. Wow.

Yes, I think the attributes that are RNG dependent are probably boosted, but perhaps increasing individual pitches' effectiveness is a bridge too far at this juncture.

I'm paralleling up Matt Harvey's BR card at the moment, and keeping an eye on the highest MPH he hits during each game along the way from VEL 96-99.

Thanks for the reply.

The MPH increase when you level up your CAP in RTTS is pretty evident, but I'm not sure the same is true in DD.

Has anyone noticed any MPH increases in game on pitcher's pitches when going from say Vel 96 to 99 on a Parallel 3 pitcher for instance? I'd imagine all outlier pitches are topped out at 102 regardless, however I haven't really experienced any increased mph on pitches when paralleling up various sub 99 Velo pitchers.

And off to the Nation Of Baseball Conquest map we all go!
