Let people with bad internet play against each other.
TY!

Can't agree more. Played a few event games last night and the connections were horrible. I even sinkers, that I threw low and inside 'force' their way up and outside. Kinda like an errant bottle rocket.
Ironically all these players had Dominican or Puert Ricam usernames and team names.

That’s my experience against DR and PR names too. I can tell you now the internet in the DR is not as good as it is here in the states, so lag compensation goes their way most of the time.

Parts of this country have horrendous internet. No need for the borderline racism. Puerto Rico is a US territory and those people are American citizens.

Not being racist. Just saying that a majority of the time I play teams with DR or PR named teams/IDs; the connection is horrid.

Once again. You’re being stereotypical. You don’t know where they are off their user name. I lived in Nebraska in the early to mid 2000s. I promise you my internet in the middle of the USA was garbage.
EDIT: If you actually paid attention to the world around you then you’d know kids had trouble with virtual learning due to the poor quality of internet in most of this country in 2020 and 2021.

I play as Kansas City Monarchs at Muehlebach Field. I am precisely 1,148 miles away from where I claim to live if we go by my team name. Who knows where anyone really is?

I agree.... SDS won’t invest in new servers anytime soon.

I think you should all thank me for not playing online since my PS5 is not wired and I use wi-fi.
I don't play online to just to save you all from a potentially bad connection.

I know a few Puerto Rican Transplants. One of their last names is Rivera and another is Weinstein. Those same two are named Douglas and Roberto. Guess which one is which? They were both marines that saw combat for the US because they are both proud Americans. I don't usually disagree with you, but this is poorly thought out.

You, sir, are a giver.

I played a couple of teams yesterday morning events against teams with teams names with “Puerto Rico” or “PR” in their names with the jerseys to match and I assumed they were located in either Puerto Rico or on the east coast because the connections were so bad. I just assumed it was because I’m in California and since I don’t understand how the internet works I thought distance increases lag with connections.
I think that’s what he meant by Puerto Rican team names, not their actually names. Either way lag stinks in a timing game.

It doesn’t help that they waste resources on 3-5 year old games. They don’t need to have servers for anything besides MLB23 and MLB22.

That's a weak excuse. They didn't even bother to fix THIS year's game. How many glitches, some of them were massive ones that they never even pretended to care about?
They have the resources to fix everything, but as long as suckers keep paying for "early access" and micro transactions we will continue to get half complete games and no real changes.
Why would they spend real money to fix the major problems when people keep rewarding them for a half hearted effort?

I very rarely have internet issues playing against other people. I feel like most people just use it as an excuse. Or maybe I am the one with bad internet somehow.

I think it’s the first part not the second part. If it was your internet you’d probably have lots of other issues with the game besides playing online.

I play in UK. 95% of my games are from people
Outside of this continent. I don’t have any issues.Sometimes you guys moan about playing people in other states.
The times I play I play people from Korea or Australia
and all works well. -
@virusrev
I'm from California and the ones I spoke of were there as well. Transplants proud to be from Puerto Rico. I'm now a CA transplant in WA. (not proud though) It's the way the US has always worked. Heck, you can't get the New Yorkers to shut up about being from New York no matter where they're at. My point is you never know where someone's at, why their ping is so low, or why they name their team what they do. I've never been to MA, but my dad is from there so I have a soft spot for the Red Sox. I was a Chicago Bears frontrunner from the 80s, I had a layover at O'Hare once, but that's it. My team is the Boise Beavers. Never been to Idaho or seen a beaver. (insert joke here)

@broken_toy1
I understand this. My point was Saturday morning, I connected with I think 3 teams in a row with Puerto Rico in their team names in a row or jerseys and the connection was subpar. I understand they could all be a mile away from me. But a reasonable person could conclude that we might be on the opposite side of the continent which is why the connection seems laggy and for some reason I kept getting matched with them. That’s all, I don’t assume all people of Puerto Rican descent has dial-up internet.

As I said. There is a good chance you’re matched up with someone in some part of the country with really bad internet or someone living in the middle of the country who spent his entire day farming so you could eat and that person is like the other guy in this thread and named his team anyway he felt unrelated to his race. Or the other 2 guys whose teams aren’t anywhere near where they live. My team is the Spiders because I like spiders not because I’m a spider and unfortunately I’m not Spider-Man.
