T-Mobile Home Internet incompatible with MLB The Show?
-
It would be nice if a member of SDS would reply to this thread. I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile internet a few months back. As it turns out, the MLB the Show franchise is the single video game series that does not work with T-Mobile Home Internet. You just get a “challenge failed” message every time. T-Mobile is putting all of the blame on the game developer and told me to reach out to them, so here I am. But from my research into the issue, others have brought this up in the past and all support tickets have been ignored. Please, someone comment on this. Say something, or better yet, fix it!

As someone who briefly had T Mobile a year or two ago, they are the worst internet ive ever seen. Though some of that may depend on your area, though im in a very big city, not the boonies or even a suburb really so if it doesnt work well here Id be hesitant to use it anywhere. It made online gaming impossible for me so I switched to a different provider like within weeks. Lol
Thats not to excuse them for not addressing whatever the specific issue with the show is on their end, just saying you can probably just save yourself a headache and skip to an end solution by switching if its an option. Good luck either way

T-Mobile phones are bad enough but this guy goes and gets their home internet lol hilarious hey buddy att uverse fiber optic is as good as it gets I pull 800 up and down give or take all day and night you had the best don’t settle for the rest!

At best you could play offline DD stuff. Hoping to play competitive online is ludicrous. I was in a hotel last week so I did offline grind with DD on the hotel WiFi; didn’t occur to me to bring misery to my online opponents. Be realistic people

Buddy, I had ATT Fiber at my last address and loved it. I moved to a larger city and guess what, no fiber at this address. They kept my bill the same but my Internet was literally 10x worse. ATT strung me a long and said Fiber was coming for two years, and it never did. I switched to T-Mobile because the only other option was Comcast and I despise them. This T-Mobile internet is infinitely better than my former ATT service. The download speeds and upload speeds are better, and I have no buffering when streaming, and every other video game on every console I own works flawlessly. You just have no idea what you’re talking about. This is an issue on SDS’s side. Not T-Mobile.

People from a variety of internet providers in a whole bunch of different countries, not just the USA, play this game without issue. If it was a problem with the game and not your internet provider, why does the problem only impact your internet provider’s customers?
It would be nice if Sony addressed the issue, even if addressing it means just stating there is nothing they can do if there is nothing they can do. But when it’s a problem with only one internet provider in one country, it certainly seems odd to act like the internet provider is definitely not the issue.

@solidsnake_222_PSN comcast is better than T-Mobile you probably want to mend that relationship also just cuz your mexiwifi works on other games doesn’t mean it’s good git guud bud

I don’t understand why someone would even choose T-Mobile. It is never a good option

You’re comparing streaming with P2P gaming. Mobile Internet has tons of dropped packets that have no bearing on your streaming, but is critical to a game that requires milliseconds timing. If you play CoD with that I can guarantee people probably see your character moving around like a strobe or teleport.

Gonna have to disagree with you there. I’ve prestiged multiple times in Black Ops 6, never experienced one instance of lag, nor have I ever seen it in any replay clips or had any friends or other players comment on my connection. Like it or not, the simple truth is MLB the Show is the one and only game that doesn’t work on the service, and T-Mobile blames the devs. I tend to believe their right due to my experience with literally every other game in the world.

I use T-Mobile home Internet. WiFi tower and have zero issues. I hope this stays true and the only reason I posted is maybe to help others...?

Saw someone post a "fix" on reddit, and it turns out, it actually worked. I've been responding to similar posts on reddit with people commenting how they can't play the show online with tmobile home internet:
If you have T-Mobile internet, plug it into a router that is VPN capable. Pay for a VPN service. I paid for NordVPN. Took about an hour to figure it out on the modem side with getting logged in through the VPN. I started out with 1 month of the most basic tier they had to see if it would actually work. It worked! Use a VPN through a router that's plugged into your TMobile modem. If it works for you, you can get pay up front for 2 years or 3 years of the vpn service. 3 years comes out to about $3 per month.

@solidsnake_222_PSN hey bud! you're the one I've been responding to on reddit. small world

Doin too much just get comcast if you’re serious about the game if you’re just an offline player than whatever will work I guess

"doin too much getting the only service you're able to get in your area to work with this game"
are people usually this obtuse?
-
Are you really trying to say that buying a new router is “too much,” but switching Internet providers altogether isn’t? That’s much more work my friend.

I've had T-mobile home internet for 3 years now. Also have had a PS5 for the same amount of time. Last year was perfectly fine, was able to play as many online games as I wanted. This year, I can't even load into any. I have deleted and redownloaded the game, this worked for one day, then the problems resumed. Tried that fix again a few days ago, didn't work at all anymore. I seriously doubt its T-mobiles problem if there were no such problems last year on the same device.

LOL. Whenever I see/hear someone use the word “obtuse” I think of the Shawshank Redemption.
See, it’s not so bad to be a square person…at least they aren’t obtuse. Sorry, math joke.
I know. I’m shallow. It’s a character flaw I choose to not work on.
Comcast is much more expensive than t mobile. You get what you pay for.
