Disconnect Cheat?
-
So, I am able to play using my phone as a Hotspot (SDS is radio silent on Tmobile users not able to connect -- different story), and I have not had any connection issues to the game both when playing offline modes and ranked.
I am playing a person who is simply giving the game away. By the 3rd inning I had 26 runs. It was getting old and so I was hoping to get to the 6th inning mercy rule. I was bunting myself out, swinging at bad pitches, advancing runners to force outs, etc.
In the 4th inning, again it is 26 nothing, I am kicked from the game with a message that reads "you have been disconnected from MLB the Show." I see my XP and Stubs earned from the game and a message that explains that 'the game could still be being played, that stats, etc. will be reviewed...' I am taken to the DD menu (not the main menu).
When I reviewed my W-L record, I was given a loss. Irritating to say the least, especially when you consider the score, etc.
Question: Has anyone else experienced this type of play?
I reviewed my opponents record -- this person is something like 18-15 with a .280+ BA.
I know correlation does not mean causation, and it seems really odd, given what transpired in the game and my opponents record.

You don’t have any connection issues because of lag comp your opponents game is a mess 100% guaranteed. You do realize by using a crappy connection your affecting the quality of you opponents games.
Your game is extremely laggy trust me and people have been doing this for years to exploit the poor netcode. You’re basically cheating. Poor connections see meatballs your opponents are seeing 200mph curveballs because your connection can’t keep up.

Bwahahahaha BIG assumptions made. A few issues with what you stated with such confidence:
- I have a 5g Hotspot, not 4g.
- I tested my connection before playing: 120 DL speed, 0 latency
- played a handful of coop games with friends/siblings from coast to coast without any issues for anyone.
- played a friend who lives in Seattle (I'm in Chicago) neither one of us experienced an issue.
Try again. Be well.

You have no idea how networking works so just be quiet and go play with your 99s

@VioletNine9 Bwahahahaha I don't have a single 99 card, and I'm confident in my networking knowledge. Go pound sand, kick rocks or find something to do outside. You need some sunlight or a z-bar to relax.
Additionally, this is a thread I created. You've done nothing but derail the initial purpose of the thread. So please be quiet and find a bridge to live under and wait for a billy goat to harass.

I would have just scored 10 runs and quickly got myself out, waiting until the mercy rule kicks in after they bat in the 4th inning.
Sounds like he may have intentionally caused a network dq, and waited until the 4th inning to do it.
I don't understand these people. They must really enjoy wasting their time. Why even do this? What do they get out of it?
You could try reporting him and the game, but doubt they'll do anything. When something like this happens, it's best to just take a deep breath, shake your head, and move on.I've come across all sorts of weirdo gamers. Those who enjoy dance bunting all the time, spamming L1 R1 leadoff on bases to distract me, holding R2 before every pitch, purposely taking too long to pitch, quick pitching, getting into ridiculous rundowns, choosing stafiums with bad hitter eyes and playing in bright azz sunny days, etc.
The worst is facing someone who knows how to cause network disruptions.
I played a guy where the connection was perfectly fine when he was hitting. When i hit, the game hitched right before and after the pitcher release. It was like seeing the pitcher arm and ball quickly flash and teleport. The guy was garbage, I still beat his azz, but it was a frustrating experience. -
@Shauwn thank you for a genuine response. I thought it was funky. I did what you recommended: sighed, took a shower and came back to the game. The good news is: all the stats were collected so I still completed the ALE TA which was my true objective.

Hey if your able to play via your phones hotspot then go for it don't listen to anyone that tells you otherwise. I personally myself play my Nintendo switch in the car on the way to FL on my mom's hotspot and have no problem whatsoever. I'm fact I will be doing it again at the end or June
