    Something needs to be done here and I'm not only one experiencing these issues. There's so much complaining lately, SDS needs to be held accountable for their actions. Every year it's the same issue. If you ever want mlb the show to be "esports competitive " you need absolutely zero latency/lagg/delay connection issues... I remember the days when COD online lobbies were player hosted lobbies, eventually they changed to dedicated server side only because they listen to the people. SDS you can do this I believe in you guys.

    Not to mention speed difference variables when you move to HOF and Legend difficulties. It's literally unhittable if the connection is so bad.

    Seriously, I hope next year they really focus on this because the masses are leaving early this year even with all this content. People really do care about the online experience what's the point of grinding all these cards when the network connection ruins all of it. The fact in the matter is SDS needs to get it right, if not EA MLB is just right around the corner...

    They won't. Too many people like genopolanco and oreo thomas that have no clue how connections work in this game. Game plays fine on their McDonald's wifi close to a server. Plus dedicated servers would cost money and their precious streamers couldn't go 150-10.

    Look at anyone who is dominant at this game. They all live near servers and I would bet they rarely get put on any other server.

    No they can’t do this, for a whole host of reasons. And when you make statements like this you show how little you understand about this subject matter. Dedicated servers cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day which equals millions a month which equals tens of millions a year. That is simply not feasible for any sports game and that includes fifa which also does not use dedicated servers. The mere suggestion of this is laughable. Do you honestly think anybody would pay to only have 2-6 players utilizing a dedicated server which is intended to host hundreds of players playing the same game at one time. The answer is a resounding no.

    It’s not logistically feasible. Those kinds of servers are intended to host hundreds of people at one time on one connection meaning the same game being played by those hundreds of gamers for example Warzone or WOW or Fortnight ect. This game would have at most 6 player on that server if the were playing coop. Those servers cost millions of dollars a month to operate and maintain. And in SDS situation they wouldn’t actually own the server they would be leasing it. So yes your right but not for the reasons you state.

    If you want a good online experience it begins on your end. Good equipment, sufficient bandwidth, not gaming wirelessly, and good condition of your household wiring.

    But if it was the other way you’d be 150-10 right? Lol

    I would never say that. I have trouble focusing on every pitch for a 9 inning game and I am not going to take Adderall to play a game. Regardless of record, there is a problem with connections. It makes the game not fun.

    If they won't or can't do dedicated servers that is fine. Match making needs to be better.

    I assume that everyone who wants dedicated servers that cost millions of dollars would then be totally fine with the game becoming more pay to play to cover those costs and would never complain about it at all, right?

    How much would dedicated servers help in a P2P connection?

    This is not true at all though... you can have top of the line perfect internet, but if your not the host (away games) and your opponent has lag, you have lag as well. This is why a lot of top players home hunt... so they are guaranteed a smooth connection. This game online is equal to most games 10 years ago... it's really bad in comparison to the few other online games I play. I played well over 200 games of MUT and hours H2H in GT7 this year and never had even a slight issue with lag.

    You’re comparing apples to oranges. You either have a P2P server or dedicated mass bandwidth server. It’s either or. If this game were to transition (which it won’t/can’t) it would no longer be a P2P connection.

    Guarantee that if everyone who played this game did exactly what I said the online environment would be much more pleasant. So yes a good experience begins on the users end not SDS. What SDS should do is do a settings test on both connections prior to loading into matchmaking. If your system is not transmitting healthy connection information back to SDS your not able to matchmake and are kicked back to the main menu. Several games do this and it is not hard to implement.

    I don't get you guys. You do know that I will be 54 this year. I don't have the focus or the reflexes to go 150-10 under any circumstances. My issue with connections is bringing up a yearly problem because it takes away from the fun of the game. My fun isn't determined by my win/loss record.

    I make WS with these connections and I'm not good. If I was 30-100 talking about these connections I would need to get gud also.

    Sorry, it wasn't clear; I was looking for an impossible explanation from a whiner.

    This would be good. I shouldn't be punished for having a good connection and if my connection isn't good, I would want to know that also.

    I also think something showing your connection would be good to. Like:
    Ping
    <50 Green
    51-149 Yellow
    150+ Red

    You can't match with someone of another color. Most games these days have ping indicators. MLB The Show should too. OhChev is literally like 131-9 in RS and he can see the connection issues with the game. Is it only people that played D1 baseball that can see these things?
