This game absolutely, 100% *needs* a "calibrate lag" feature

It seemed to make a difference. The problem is, I didn't want to rely on what I "felt". That's why they run double blind tests because your brain can convince you of anything you want it to. So I put in my Rock Band. The beauty of Rock Band's calibration is that it's done through hardware. It gives you an absolute value of the delay relative to their software. Results: 42" Vizio in Non-Game Mode: 178ms delay 42" Vizio in Game Mode (Fast Refresh On): 70ms 42" Vizio in Game Mode (Fast Refresh Off): 178ms 26" Vizio in Game Mode: 44ms 32" Polaroid in Normal Mode: 20ms From those numbers it's obvious that Game Mode makes a difference. It also shows that my 26" wasn't just imagination that I had more time. The Polaroid was my old TV and I happened to have written down it's delay and surprisingly, that 10 year old TV is faster than my new ones. I wish I had that back now! It takes a 90Mph pitch 0.45 seconds to reach the plate. 0.45 second = 450ms. If I have approx. 70ms of delay, that's a reaction reduction of 15.5%. Pretty significant. And if I happened to have played originally with that Fast Response Off, then we're talking 39.5%! That would leave my 26" at a 9.7% reduction in response time. Apparently that 6% is huge because I can sit on the pitch for what seems like 2 to 3 times longer on that TV. I'll need to do some research to see just where the ball should be in real life for a Professional Batter to start their swing. I'm pretty sure it will be very close to what I'm seeing on my 26" but I also feel like my 26" is what a no lag monitor would look like with Pitch Speed set to 10 whereas I'm running it 0 to have any chance of recognizing the pitch.

My TV has a 0.0001 ms delay.

Guys, this is not a game issue. Every single game delays. It's not the game, trust me. Find a friend who has a plasma TV and ask him to hook up your PS3 and play. Play on a standard definition TV that doesn't have HD. Lower end TV's like Vizio, Magnavox, LG, Insignia, Toshiba, etc are going to lag more than the Samsung, Sony, Sharp TV's. I have an old Magnavox 1080p tv, a Sharp Aquos LED, and an Panasonic Plasma and I can tell the difference going from one to another. I have noticed the difference in lag going from my Sharp to my plasma on Battlefield and Mass Effect as well.

I think we only need to calibrate lag with the Move.

No sports game has one though. I think a calibration sort of software for the PS3 would be cool. A program that will tell you how much input lag your TV is giving you. I doubt we will ever see this in game because once OLED comes out, you guys won't be complaining about lag anymore.

I don't even know what OLED means.

OLED is the future of TV's. The topic of them has been huge these last couple years.

But I’ll have to fully test this out tomorrow.

I would definitely turn these options off:
Smooth motion effect - “High”

Real cinema mode - “Smooth”

Hey guys while I'm no expert my recent experience going through three tv's till I found one with satisfactory input lag (panasonic plasma).

Here's what I know if your tv is 1080p or 720p native resolution set the ps3 to match.

Put on game mode turn off all advanced features.

If you can change the label input to cpu or game mode do it.

The op is correct. I always take my ps3 to our condo every summer on vacation. It has an old square tv. I always hit better and am able to be early on pitches. When I hook it back up to my 47" hd tv its back to the same ole late swings and weak hits.
