Does pitch speed seem a bit faster?

I think if anything the changeups seem way slower to some but I am not experiencing that problem.

I don't know what to say. The first online game I played like the 2nd inning in I told my friend the pitch speed seems slower. He said he thought it was faster.

The game in general seems faster, I agree, but pitch speed is definitely slower.

Granted I'm switching from PS3 to PS4, so there could be processing/rendering speed, lag, etc.. dynamics in play here.

It isnt that changeups are slower, its that they have way more downward action.

Im not far off from the timing-wise, but they miss bats and produce weak contact. (Which is a good thing IMO because thats how they feel in real-life)

So far I do feel that fastballs are a bit faster and offspeed, particularly changeups, are a bit slower. There seems to be an even more unnatural separation between 95 mph fastballs and 75 mph changeups this year. Could just be getting used to the new game, but the timing does feel different. After playing a few games I actually sent cardinal a message since the timing felt off. I was way out in front of offspeed pitches online and it felt different from last year, if only slightly.

I don't know. I don't know if it's the improved movement of the pitches that's allowing me to track the ball better, but pitches feel a bit slower than last year. If anything, I feel as if the less forgiving timing windows (just a guess) that are giving me trouble getting contact.

Seems slower to me. On 10 I am still early on just about every single thing on All Star. I have to be looking away and get something inside to be late really.

I don't know the pitch speed is actually faster (I bet not really, and even if it has gotten faster, it is not significantly so), but I feel there has been some adjustment(s) in timing window (and PCI) to make it harder to catch up to fastball up and/or in.

I think it's good that hitting has been made tighter. Last couple years, way too many people were playing on Legend (including myself).

It is also noticeable that overall offense is down in online games.
