Sds you scared all the casuals away. Not good for your game.

I wonder why that is? Lack of server maintenance? I do feel like this year is way ahead of schedule for players bailing on the game. The only people left are die hards and people new to the game. The majority of the middle ground is long gone. Just look at the market transactions, you tube video views, and lack of forum engagement, all points to a decreased player base.

@DemIsE4_XBL This actually makes sense, connections get worse and worse as "the distance" grows because of lack of players.
@tripleh-4481_psn yeah I've noticed the forum engagement has dropped off a ton. I know there's typically two drop offs- one at the allstar break, and one at the end of the season and then it fluctuates from there depending on if the game gets tossed in the "Free for +/gamepass" things etc.
I don't know if I've seen a steep decline like this this early before

I feel bad for the online players already battling connection issues for them to get even worse is ridiculous.
Yeah after all star content release and them trying to squeeze a few more bucks out for the 99 bellinger collection I think a lot of people that were already on the fence jumped off.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN I don't think very many people were on the "this is great" side of the fence right from the get go this year.
-
Yeah I don’t think so either but I think quite a few were willing to give it one more shot and this year confirmed their fears. The decline is staggering with this year dumping gasoline the fire.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN yeah its extremely disappointing. So many things. I hate always coming on here and being negative. This game has become so toxic, so unrewarding and just overall anger inducing. Not just the gameplay. Everything is stale. Lack of online programs stands out to me more than anything. Same offline grinds also all year long.
-
@DrBear100_PSN same!! I have played more offline this year than any year I’ve played. Been playing since 2015. Even let my PS Plus lapse for a month or so.

I am canceling my PS plus. Just going to stick with offline DD. I really don't play enough to justify the cost.

That would be my guess and from my understanding, in KC I am 8 driving hours to the nearest server. My understanding is servers are in NW (maybe Washington), California, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Chicago and NY. Seems to be an awful lot of elite players around these areas or very close. For instance, Philadelphia is close to NY. My guess is elite players almost always connect to the server close to them. That could easily explain the differences in pitch speeds. I see some crazy all star pitch speeds.
I haven't played much this season. Played a ranked game a few days ago and it was zero fun. My average this season has dropped like 80 points with most of my best players. Been catching up on a lot of movies and TV shows.

To be fair, online has been a dumpster fire since the FoD update. The netcode is really really struggling right now, the lag compensation is out of control. Not sure what's going on but we're behind everything lately. Doesn't matter the pitch. Yet pitch to our opponents "floats" in like you see when Streamers are batting
