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.

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.
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.
-
I’m sure some of the people who live in the country side and farm in the US have bad internet too on occasion.
Why is this suddenly turning into a blame PR for some bad internet gamesYou can ignore what I said. I play on WiFi and play people way way further away than you with zero issues.

@lewisnadasurf1
It has nothing to do with Puerto Rico. That’s just an example. It could be any country with anyone who hosts the game from a long distance from you because the game, from my understanding, uses peer-to-peer servers. The home team is the host server, and the further away from your connection, the more lag you can experience, which, from a quick Google search, says is a known weakness of p2p servers. And I’m not criticizing anyone for not living closer to me. I’m happy people from all over the world play this game and enjoy playing them all.
All I would like is a way to tell how well a connection is before I enter a game or SDS to upgrade their servers away from p2p because everyone all over the world would have a better gaming experience.
I’m glad you don’t have any connection issues.
-
For SDS makes zero sense to move away from P2P because matches are 1v1. This is why we need ping based matchmaking.
Btw, I lived in the DR and the internet is not as good as it is in the US, same goes for PR (According to some of my Puerto Rican friends).
Also, if you play on WiFi and are in another continent chances are you are the person benefiting from the lag compensation when you play people in North America @lewisnadasurf1_PSN

This post needs to go. Even people in my state can’t afford what I pay for internet. They aren’t as wealthy as I am. People in this forum just don’t seem to get it so I’ll say it outright.

Dedicated servers are the way forward.
Look at rocket league. It’s fast paced. Literally tiny little touches make all the difference and it plays well. Problem with this is that they’ll
Be located in the US so I’ll end up being screwedThis is baseball. It’s one turn against one turn. There should be no lag at all tbh.
