Lag so bad couldn’t pitch at all! Ranked
-
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL I have heard they have done very little to upgrade the servers since 2017. Not sure how true this is. Sports games may not be the way to go anymore. Every game seems to be a copy of the prior years game with a few upgrades and graphics and that's about it. In the case of mlb the show, the gameplay seems to be getting worse every year. No more sense in complaining about it. Just maybe time to lay off the sports games for me.
-
@Ditka06_MLBTS that’s a fair point. I’m giving it through tonight. If nothing comes up better servers and connection wise I’m done for the year. I refuse to play if I can’t be competitive. I can’t be conpetitive when I’m having to quit out of rounds due to complete inability to even play
-
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL yeah i know what you mean. We have spent way too much time grinding!! Especially this year to get all these collections completed. For the online gameplay to not be very good is just so unfair and not acceptable to us players for the amount of our time we have put in.

My opponent said everything was fine for him and wouldn’t accept my friendly so I just quit. Is this his connection or is the shows servers just absolutely gone at this point ?
It seems there is one more variable left unaddressed, here...

I just played a round that was so laggy it was impossible to just pitch anything even remotely down the plate. Every pitch was warping in multiple different directions. My opponent said everything was fine for him and wouldn’t accept my friendly so I just quit. Is this his connection or is the shows servers just absolutely gone at this point ? What’s the point of having a rank when multiple matches you have to quit due to connection issues ? When will this get fixed if ever and why isn’t it discussed more
While I'm not saying that there isn't lag in this game; I'm going to make a comment.
I've played multiple online games this year and while I've noticed lag, in some of them, its not as much as you're stating that you experience.
So, I'm going to ask the following:
What's your internet speed?
Are you playing on WiFi or are you directly connected to the modem via an Ethernet connection?
Do you have cross play turned on or off?
Sorry to say, but as much as you're stating that you're experiencing alot of lag; maybe some of it is on your end.

Yep.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN im experiencing it. I have everything hard wired. 2 gigs internet speed fiber. Monitor, upgraded hdmi cable the whole nine yards. And cross play is definitely off. I think there is a geographical issue going on. You are either lucky and in a good area or you are not. Either way the servers need to be upgraded
-
It’s all geographical. I’m located in the southern states. The servers are just [censored] unless I’m lucky. My last 3 rounds have been unplayable today. Mondays are always the worst. And weekend classic weekends. I’m running a business with fiber speeds. All hardwired. And have high end gear other than standard modem but that doesn’t matter. To save myself and everyone else the constant bitching and hardache I think I’m throwing in the towel on this game. I don’t play any other games at all so maybe it’s time to spend my free time elsewhere. Played this game for years. The servers have only gotten worse. SDS has gotten cheaper. Gameplay and hitting engine much worse. Not understanding the need or reason to play when I’m having these kind of issues. U can’t be competitive. And this game only has been stressing me out. It’s a complete toss up if I’m goin to get a good connection or server or not. When I use to play other games I never once had a single internet issue. And these were fast paced and graphically enhanced online games.
-
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL I know man. Alot of people are complaining about the same issues. Just because there are not thousands of complaints on this forum does not mean they are not happening elsewhere. All you have to do is look at Google reviews.
-
So I did a bandwidth limiter on my router and the first 2 days were amazing. I was mercying everyone including a flawless player and making WS, 1000 rated players quit after an inning. I was seeing the actual pitch speeds and now understand how people are hitting .400 on HOF. I was doing that for those 2 days. Not sure what happened but every since I am running into the same stuff with warping pitches, delayed baserunning and people hitting 200 are hitting my dotted pitches like I'm throwing slow pitch softball. Seems like the only people that have issues with this game are wired with gig internet. I don't think that is a coincidence.
I was so excited those 2 days. Felt like a completely different game. Once again I have zero interest in getting to HOF since I can't catch up to 90 on all star as pitches just warp from hand to catcher. I literally have games where I'll push the steal button and the players won't even go. Actually thinking about purchasing that Ready or Not game on PS5.

@Ditka06_MLBTS @RAisEdByGoAt_XBL
Yeah, I'm not saying there isn't connection issues. There are or there wouldn't be people complaining about it.
Seems like the two of you know what needs to be what, connection wise.
I said it before and I'll say it again.
SDS needs to switch to Dedicated Servers.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL when you say you were seeing the actual pitch speeds can you explain ? I feel like I can never truly see the spin of the ball.
-
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL I think what he means is he was actually seeing the game the way it supposed to be seen. Without lag and actually having time to see the pitch and make a great swing at the ball. We armt seeing that! We are literally seeing the ball on all star come out of the pitchers hand and warp to the catcher instantly. Almost like sds has pitching sliders turned all the way up to make hitting as hard as possible this year. Then when you do square up the ball its a line drive out anyway.
-
@Ditka06_MLBTS that’s what’s odd. I’ve played top rated players and won. Also have been demolished by them plenty moreso but I always feel like connection up against them is fairly smooth. When I watch content creators online though the ball doesn’t seem to come in so quick. For me I’ll have a round where I can see and then the next round a sinker might come in and I’m able to see it on HOF then suddenly it’s warped in and comes in at GOAT speed. It’s just inconsistent so it makes it very tough to gauge. It’s only when the server or round isn’t playing smooth though

It was probably your upload speed, it happened to me not too long ago. I went to check after the game and my upload speed was 6 mbps
-
@iBonafideScrub__PSN my upload speeds are typically between 600-1k I believe so i doubt that was the issue. I think it was the server in accordance to the player I was playing who might of also had very bad connection. That would be my guess anyway. It was absolutely unplayable. To the point where I just kept walking everyone or throwing well above catchers head until I just quit

Perfect releases were glitching too, right? I’ve had that happened to me, not too many times but I’ve seen it.
-
@iBonafideScrub__PSN honestly it was so laggy I couldn’t get much close to perfect. It would just freeze for a second or two in the middle of it. But I’ve def had it in the past where one out of 10 perfects or so warped far away from the batter. Just randomly shot off very fast in whatever odd direction far off the plate
-
I’ve also hit plenty of goods foul and even had some perfects that randomly just died in the air. Not weak exit velo but literally shot straight down to the ground as if the ball hit an invisible wall. This is rare though.
The best one was a pitch past the catcher on a strike out. My player Ran from homeplate straight to third bypassing first and second lol and I was awarded a triple -
I haven't had the lag issues much in ranked. I'm on wifi but pulling a very strong fiber signal near my box. (i can't seem to connect hard wired and am not smart enough to mess with ports, etc).
However during weekend classis the lag is insane in comparison.
