Easy fix: wait 3 seconds, hit X, hit pause, scroll over to quit, hit X again
Unfortunately that is only an easy fix if you happen to be the man child that can't finish out the play. If you're actually playing well and earning stats, you're at the mercy of the person on the other end.
You're never going to be able to stop immature people from throwing a temper tantrum and quitting out mid play. Even if Sony or SDS made it take longer to get out of the game via the software, these people would just yank the power cord out of the wall out of spite.
People bring up a time out or cool down period as a solution and I have mixed feelings on that, mostly because those people tend to go over the top and want it implemented for people quitting out normally. If I'm crushing an opponent 8-0 and they would rather cut their losses and try again in a fresh game, I have no problem with that. Time is limited and I get that. Let the ball land in the stands, and then go merrily on your way. No harm, no foul, and no reason for further punishment other than the loss of ranking or BR run. Even if a cool down period were only implemented for rage quits, those people aren't thinking rationally anyway and I doubt they would care. Nothing solved there.
The easiest solution would be for SDS to make HR stats track the second the ball makes contact since the game has already predetermined the outcome at that point. That seems to be the biggest issues for loss of prestige stats. If they can't figure out a way to make that work, then just don't require online play for stats. That's the easy fix.
What about robbing homeruns?
If your opponent quits mid homerun, they weren't going to catch it. This is an extremely basic view which could be completely wrong since I have no coding experience, but I would imagine they could set the contact off the bat as "register as a homerun unless X happens" (x being the ball being brought back in), which then wouldn't happen because the connection is lost.
I have coding experience but not on the software end, even with writing that variable, if there is a lost connection mid flight, the homerun will never register because the variable was waiting to see if in fact X did happen before it can execute/register the HR as a score.
Essentially, what you can ask for is if it's a no doubt shot, auto-register it as a HR & risk getting dashboarded on the robbable HRs because there will be no solution for those, I can guarantee you that.Then the next best solution would be to scrap the HR robbing animation all together and make it count every time if that was the only thing holding them back. Is it a cool feature? Sure. But how often does that animation actually work? In all of the years I have played this game, I have only brought one HR back into the park and I didn't even catch it. It just bounced off my glove and went for a triple. I can't remember a single opponent ever robbing me of a home run online, and I have played a lot.
If people really care that much about being able to prestige cards and SDS wants to continue requiring that those stats be completed online, I feel like the loss of robbing home runs would be a sacrifice most people would be willing to make if SDS couldn't find another way.
I mean robbing homeruns is literally a part of baseball so you can't take that option away. That would be like taking away diving catches or sliding into a base. Plus I have robbed a few myself and have had a decent amount of my homeruns robbed. I want there to be a way where dashboarding can be minimized but we can't take away a real baseball play to do so.

Counting the homerun as soon as the ball makes contact won't work for the fact that depending on how hard it's hit; there is a small chance that it can be robbed.
Edit: nevermind. I didn't scroll down far enough.

Get rid of prestiege all together. The stat upgrade is not worth the hassle.

This. You grind for a card that you want to use and them after X amount of bats you get an upgraded one?
Thus leaving the original pretty much useless.While I like the whole Prestige level addition; the cards that can be prestiged by playing with them is a bad idea.
Almost as bad as Souvenirs

As someone with completely bad luck at one point during this game (I was robbed of a HR on 4 consecutive ranked games, then again about a week later or so) I'd love if they did away with that. But what kind of successful game subtracts from the content (animation) in order to properly function? That's pretty bad.

Why not just have an option to submit play for review in the replay section and have moderators decide if its a homerun or not

I play APEX Legends and when you play a "Ranked game" and quit during the match you get a 10 minute cooldown and cant play anything. I like it. If you have even walmart internet you shouldnt drop connection that many times, may have crappy gameplay but this isnt the year 2000. So the few seldom times a storm cuts you out oh well sorry you have to wait. This cuts out the cry babies of competitive gaming.

Did I read that short of pulling the plug from the wall, dashboarding using PS5 is much more difficult?

Having online missions made this worse than ever this year. Regardless it’s not going to stop. People always rage quit. There’s always sore losers. No patch or disciplinary action can be done when you can’t prove “they lost connection” vs they dashboarded mid home run
Nothing to prove. You don’t need to prove anything. League of legends does this already. Few other games have a wait time if you disconnect/ dashboard.
Argument of “ what if I have bad internet “ doesn’t mean anything. You are not entitled to anything over someone else.

The "cooldown" period could also be used to refill the feed station on the gerbil farm that's powering your internet. And I say this as someone with country bumpkin wifi that loses connection if a large flock of birds flies by.

Bro your doing it wrong use Ferrets instead.
I would also like to add that sorry you live off the grid but I dont see to many ppl with that issue and at that point its kind of like well you chose to live out here lol

I don't remember the game or games but there used to be video sports games that gave you the option to block players who you didn't want to play again in the future. This might be one way to fix the problem.

Until you get one clever SOB with too much time on their hands who blocks everyone with a winning record. I guess this would work to an extent if you could only block them after you played them, but even then the same people who dashboard would block everyone they ever played who was decent at the game.

Would it be possible to code something along the lines of "if there is a disconnect big-play the game auto-registers a homerun for the batting team. At that point we know who's going to win and lose based on who's still connected, why not give them the benefit of the doubt? Lol

I’m convinced they will do something about this for next years game right no way they don’t. assuming they implement Prestige cards again of course .

I hope so man. This has plagued Maddens online play for years. You can blatantly see the leaderboards with the 80-0 records and they still don’t do anything. The dashboard glitch is annoying AF and they let it happen

Hopefully, Crazy thing is remember next years game Xbox players will come in . so stuff like this will only get crazier if not kept in check

Dashboarding away prestige stats completely ruins online play for me. That’s it. That’s all I want to say.
I haven't been dashboarded in months because I decided that all I care about is prestiging cards. So I allow my opponent to get ahead by at least 3 runs and then I can focus on scoring prestige stats. I had too many 3 run homers and grand slams dashboarded. I love the game more than ever, because now I can get those little green completed signs on my prestigeable guys much faster and without being disgusted. Plus you stay in the 300-400's and getting 5-10 runs a game is easy. 51 guys prestige. Obsessed!
