“Challenge failed”
-
I have been an issue when trying to log into a dd game. Every time when I found an opponent it gives me a screen where it says challenge failed. I have t mobile and this is an issue that a lot of people are getting too. I have tried to resetting the router, turn it off turning it back on and nothing works. My other game works perfectly fine but it’s just mlb 25 is not working. I hope someone finds a way to fix this plz let me know. Don’t say oh just switch providers duh , shut up im not doing that. Oh yeah isn’t mlb sponsored by t mobile

Well if you won't change internet providers then your out of luck and don't bother playing online
-
This just started affecting me today for the first time all year. I just got the same Challenge Failed error 10 times in a row when attempting to join an event game.
I have Verizon fios business speed, wired internet. NJ. No issues of this nature ever unless it was a widespread reported problem
Bit nervous here... (For context, I've played every MLBTS every year-and roughly play online 5 days a week this year)
I am on Xbox X w/ cross play on btw
Update-weird. I can get into a ranked game no problem.

It's not the fault of SDS that T-Mobile has created something in its internet data exchange system that is causing issues. SDS cannot force T-Mobile to make their system compatible, nor can SDS work directly with T-Mobile to ensure the problems are removed. If anything, as a T-Mobile customer, you must contact them to raise the issue, and I have zero faith that anything you would do would effect any positive changes in T-Mobile's systems.
Blaming SDS for this isn't fair, isn't reasonable, and isn't productive in the least. You have a choice to make, and if MLB The Show is sufficiently important to you, then you need to change ISP's.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL it’s not even with T mobile internet where there’s an issue. I switched my isp and it was working the first day and now the same issue is happening. This is on the mlb devs.

@Rimurzru_PSN dont hate the player hate the game
-
Been having issues as well. I play on ps5 and son on series s and keeping getting the challenge failed since yesterday. Very annoying
-
I'm not sure why anyone would assume it's an ISP issue... As a cyber-sec analyst, I can provide detailed input, but the only impact I could see an ISP having is if they throttled DL/UL connections to PSN and/or MLB.
As for the game/the way SDS manages it:
It's a client-server model w/ P2P elements. It also implements advanced netcode to manage latency for smoother gameplay (this includes input prediction/anticipating player actions to compensate for delays, lag compensation/real-time adjustments for latency discrepancies from the P2P aspects, and tick rate control/maintaining a consistent update rate to sync game states across clients effectively.
@sbchamps17_NSW Based off the game's code, ISP likely has nothing to do with it unless the public IP is being DDoS'd or something completely out of the norm.
Crossplay modes introduce added complexity — games may balance tick rates or buffer sizes differently. -
@quarter_pndr_PSN Thank you man. It’s literally working then not working on and off. I played 3 games earlier today after uninstalling the game and reinstalling and when I tried to hop on and play just now it’s back to not working again.
