Why am I being matched with people in Mexico and the West coast if I live in Boston
-
There are 2 reasons I can come up with for this happening, and they're both not very flattering for SDS buy very likely nonetheless:
- Their (prehistoric) networking infrastructure doesn't prioritize connection quality or location
- If it does in fact prioritize connection quality and location, then the simple conclusion would be that there aren't many people left playing this game online, or you wouldn't be connecting to someone so far away.
-
probably has like 100 players online playing rank lmfao this game Is dead.
-
I'd say player pool is just completely depleted.
- Two way pitcher glitch not being fixed for two weeks now with no plans in sight/communication from development team on wtf is going on
- No reason to grind for 900+ rating when everyone can achieve WS rewards by just playing and losing
- Gameplay hasn't been tweaked/updated AT ALL since launch.
It's obvious people are giving up, hell even the Devs have clearly given up based on the way they are handling everything. Hopefully the MLB license renewal goes in favor of 2k next time around.

As much as I dislike 2K's business model, their games are high quality.

I play from UK. I nearly always get matched up with east cost or Caribbean players. Occasionally a European!
I don’t think location is the issue. Maybe playing at peak time is the problem with the SDS servers. Aware it’s p2p but I have zero lag problems. None.
(Majority of my games are played between 5am-5pm ET)

Nobody here honestly believes that unless your internet is horrible at which point the lag wouldn’t be affecting you which is most likely the scenario

MLB 2K was awesome bozo. I would pick 2k over the show any day of week. At least 2k fixes their [censored].

Why can't you just let people have their own opinions? God you're so obnoxious all the time.

No competition is bad for sports games look at Madden. They’ve become totally complacent with this game. I mean no gameplay updates in 3 months is either negligent or lazy. The online rewards bad swings far more often than good swings than it should still. We aren’t getting any network or gameplay fixes just diamond duo packs.

I still havent figured how to find out where my opponent is playing from. Unless I message them. And that aint happening.

You have to message them unless they have social media attached to their profile that says where they live. Most people will respond if you mention the area you’re from first.

I wish I could play ppl from a different area. I get Giants/A's but the majority of time Dodgers players.

It really doesn’t work especially when the timing windows for each game is drastically different the online component really is a bad product. The fact the games are all homerun dependent shows how little work they’ve done on MLB 23.
The desynch on pitches coming in is probably my biggest grip with how the online plays they need to figure out a better system then trying to guess where the micro stutter is on each pitch is when it comes in. Some people are much better at this then others, but it’s extremely hard to relearn how to play a totally different game after 100s of hours of offline where you can crush the cpu 15-0 on All Star but barely make contact online. All Star + is an excuse to mask the sub par multiplayer because All Star+ is different from game to game.
People aren’t bad at the game the online is bad. I would rather lose 20-18 then struggle to hit a ball because the game is functionally broken during many multiplayer games. The game plays better on slower connections as other posters have pointed out and that’s a massive issue plaguing the game right now.

Yeah I just played someone wearing Lichtenstein jerseys. This is getting out of hand. There’s no way they could’ve just equipped the jerseys without actually living there.

Ya, I kind of explained I’ve been asking people where they are from if it’s not already in their profile, but nice attempt at a gaslight 🫤

I could care less where my opponent is. We are essentially going to have the same connection to each other whether it’s great bad. I can maybe count on one hand where o thought connection was an issue when I played a game
