We need ping based matchmaking

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. -

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)

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.

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.

I wish they moved to decidated servers for real, financially it makes zero sense to SDS tho. We match to play 1v1 so it’s like a waste of resources for them to do it.

As stated, the analogy assumes: Only Puerto Rican and Dominican people use Puerto Rican and Dominican Unis/names, and those two places have poor internet connections. The initial analogy was flawed, which is my concern. I remember hearing, at one point, New York City has more Jews than Tel Aviv, more Italians than a major Italian city, and more Puerto Ricans than San Juan. (it was actually a long list, those were the ones that stuck out to me)
As far as Puerto Rico goes, that's still true. There are around the same amount of people living in Puerto Rico as people of Puerto Rican decent living in the rest of the US. So what is the chance that the person wearing Puerto Rico uniforms is in Puerto Rico. I would guess, probably less than 50% since anyone can use any uniform and they do.
Thanks for the heads up on the info.
-
At no point in my argument did I suggest the quality of the internet in any location. My concern is the distance between me and the connection is increasing lag. I don’t assume location equals lousy internet.
My assumption was teams with unis/usernames of locations far away from me + lag equals the likelihood of the host being a more significant distance from me. When I host the game, the same player will experience lag based on the distance between us.

Not a good comparison for the simple reason that hundreds of thousands of people play Rocket League daily. At its peak in June a few hundred people were online playing this game on PSN. They’re not going to spend the same amount of money as Rocket League for 1/1000th the number of users.

Man my team is the snakes and I’ve not a clue how that happened lol maybe due to me being an East Tennessee Smoky Mountain hillbilly where the internet is an abstract thought experiment involving two tin cans connected with ten lb test pulled taut

@virusrev
Then why were you answering my post about incorrect assumptions when it comes to country of origin that was by someone else or another account? I believe I put something to the effect of, it was poorly worded. It was. Any justification will not change that. I don't think there was any malice. I don't think most would think there was malice. When I use poor choices I usually just sound like a [censored]. That sounded worse.
That 's the one thing I don't care about this new reply button. It's hard to tell what you're replying to since the original quote is no longer on the screen. I say we chalk it up practice. I've restarted this like 3 times just to remember exactly what I was replying to. I'm only using/replying to quotes from now on. At least we can see full arguments on both sides.

@broken_toy1
Let's chalk it up to a misunderstanding, brother, and keep it moving. I want everyone worldwide to play good games that aren't affected by lag to give me and my opponents the best gaming experience possible.
