If you have a game mode on your television I suggest switching to that when playing the show and I'll gurantee you will see a noticeable improvement in your hitting.

I don't have a game mode. I have dynamic, standard, energy efficient (or something like that), and movie. I had it on movie forever and changed it to standard.

I bought an ASUS MX279H 27" monitor last year and have never looked back. I picked it up for $240. It is practically lag free and my Challenge of the week score improved immensely after I started using the monitor for gaming. Picture also looks great to me with the right settings. Obviously the sound coming from the monitor is lacking but I game with headphones. I have the astro A50's for my sound needs.

Why cant the game just have a controller calibaration where you swing and fastballs and it can adjust what your timming is based on your reaction.

That is a good question. On a game like the show where timing is everything, there should be a way to calibrate for the amount of lag a set up has. I am not a tech wizard, but, you would think there would have to be a way!

Maybe a mini game like metered pitching where the you hit a button on your controller when the object crosses a spot. It has you do this 20 times to get a baseline and afterwards it moves your timing window to adjust for this time difference.

Really this could be a PS4 feature because even though you don't notice it on most games it would be great to have things work as perfectly as possible.

I just remembered where i have seen this feature and it was in all of the rock band games to where proper timming was what the game was all about.

I have never played Rock Band, but, now it seems like this is something we should be pushing for. It would help sales of The Show too, most people I know won't play it because it is too hard. What if a calibration feature like this would open it up to more casual players!

Also while i am not a slider expert im not sure if adjusting the user timming slider will help any with your hitting. As i belive that increasing it widens your timming window but im not 100% sure.

[shark547]

I have the timing window jacked up to the largest it can be. I have been playing The Show for a long time.

All though it isn't really a bug I made a report called "controller input calibration"

Feel free to give it some pluses so maybe we can get some help! To me this feature would be a win for everyone involved. It just makes sense.
