    Fanboy here...yes all of those are frustrating and are definitely not intended. The granderson one is bad and as was said above, it is new since the last patch. Something about that red circle being activated when it’s not supposed to.

    The one with the 2b and SS doesn’t personally bother me that much, but I can see how that is annoying. The other three I, personally, just assume that these are things that happen in online play. Maybe the other players screen show something different than what you see.

    So, in an effort to be productive and not combative, are these kinds of internet issues, if you will, not prevalent in other online console games? This is the only game I play. So, I just assume this is the deal when you play online. That is why they don’t bother me so much.

    Please be kind. I am trying to have a discussion. Not a troll.

    I largely stopped playing because this game isn't fun. With the end of the program approaching, I've been trying to make a push to collect stars before the end of the program. In the last 24 hours, the following plays happened:

    A homerun I hit that didn't even go over the wall: https://youtu.be/VJEe-SXmw74

    Granderson camped under the flyball for the final out, lets it fall in letting the tying run cross the plate: https://youtu.be/PgGfy0Gdf4k

    Runner takes a big turn at second, should be thrown out. SS and 2B are playing tummy sticks and nobody is covering the base for the throw behind the runner: https://youtu.be/ki4ozU8uKNU

    Ozzie Albies at second commits to trampling the ball into the ground. Can't touch it, cause it might have COVID: https://youtu.be/nqbnwRH9uSc

    Adelberto Mondesi (POTM) is gunned down on a very deep flyball. Doesn't touch the plate because... COVID? https://youtu.be/yTmOjkjsP3E

    This doesn't include the screen shot of TYLER F'ING O'NEIL hitting a bomb over the bullpen on a CONTACT SWING with the ball NOT IN THE PCI. Same with POTM Didi, but at least he has pop. But this isn't even uncommon.

    This all happened in 24 hours. I came to the conclusion... is the game is this [censored] up, why am I bothering to grind out program stars? This is beyond bad...

    I submit for your approval.....

    The dreaded perfect perfect 1-6-5-4-3 quadruple play in showdown.

    One of my other least favorite animations is when an outfielder who is clearly not going to make a play but you run behind the ball to cut it off, decides to go all out- lunge, Miss the ball and cost your team additional bases.

    I love how ruthless that ai was on the quadruple play. It was like, "sorry for your luck, but I must end you." 😲

    This is the only game I play

    This is going to sound really mean, and I hate myself for it. But, if this is the only game you play you must be one confused gamer. You can't have any concept of game consistency...because it's void and completely absent in MLB the Show. You can't have much of a competitive spirit yourself because the game does little to reward good play or punish bad. The AI just do what the AI do.

    So, find another game...it might be a life-changing event for you.

    Didn’t sound mean. This is the only game that I play online. So, my question is do other online games not have issues where weird stuff happens? If i were to play madden or nba or cod or fortnite is the gaming experience the same in every game in terms of how the game plays? If so, then, yes, these things are inexcusable. I just assume that these kinds of things are he case in online games.

    After watching a couple of these videos, it's plain to see the developers need to get their heads out of their cavities and get to work on an overhaul. These nonsense patches that seemingly do little to address the customer's biggest concerns are a waste of bandwidth to download. And, perhaps, SDS is content with mediocrity. I dunno.

    These things DO happen in online games. I think that the real issue is that these issues, just bad baseball IQ, janky mechanics, rewarding poor input, syncing issues, etc, they happen every game, and they tend to impact the outcome of the game significantly.

    I said it once and I will say it again....you cant have a baseball game made by people who never played any high level baseball.

    This game is a disgrace to baseball.

    I've played Madden and Fifa prolifically online. Hundreds and, probably, more like thousands of hours. Finally just quit buying Madden about 3 years ago because of the absence of realism. Fifa, which I just keep holding out hope for, is no better. It just has a much more refined trading/auction system (IMO)

    So, in the world of online Sports simulation (or lack of simulation I should say) it's pretty thin. Games that don't really offer an outlet to build measurable skills because the AI changes the animation constantly. The AI doesn't reward good play to the same degree it doesn't penalize bad play. By that, it nullifies anything resembling a competitive experience.

    So, unfortunately, it's going to be the FPS and RPG that actually provide an experience that is repeatable and consistent. Can truly separate the good players from the bad. Or, I suppose, the players that can learn from experience and repeat good habits.

    Amen. Apex Legends is example of that.
