....and backstops.

@theBlindRhino_PSN Feel better now?

Is this co-op to play together vs. the PC or vs. 2 other players random online?

I got friends trying to join a league saying they're blocked from joining, when I'm not blocking them. The only thing that's a constant is when the 2nd Xbox friend tries to join ...so this has happened to 2 separate Xbox friends.

Just ran into a very weird glitch. In trying to get a small league together (of mixed platforms; I'm on an Xbox). Only 5-6 of us to start. In the first attempt, 2 of the players (1 Xbox, 1 PSN) joined without a problem, but a 3rd (Xbox friend) stating he was blocked from joining the league. No worries and set up a second league. The guy who was blocked, joined in first just fine. A 2nd Xbox friend, who joined without a problem in the 1st attempt is now blocked. So, it's not console driven and it's not number of players in the league driven. I have no one blocked otherwise.

@Tikire_PSN Just got an "S" and it's fine. Not sure why all the boo-jee comments about top of the line stuff. This is how computer geeks talk as well.

@Jacky-Chan1_XBL I misread what you wrote. I'm actually largely in agreement with you.

Wondering if any of the "seasoned citizens" in here (like around 50 or over) would be interested in a sim-style league with the authentic teams, soon after The Show 25 drops. Would be looking to do classic pitching, timing hitting, similar cameras (other terms to be discussed). Not looking for a lot of guys, even 4-6 would work.

Also, not looking to kill your schedule during the week. Maybe no more than 2 games as we are also looking to play at a realistic pace; i.e., taking a bit more time between pitches .... a bit more of an authentic baseball atmosphere.

DM me if interested. If we can get something going, we'd probably get a Discord together.

@Jacky-Chan1_XBL Clarify.

Or you can pretend it's the 70s and not get so bunched up about a word sitting on a screen put there by people with fake names that really can't hurt anyone.

Great list

I'd love to get a league of older guys, 40 and up to play some real simulation baseball. This nonsense of all of the on screen aids and speed pitching (2-3 seconds in between pitches) takes away from the game. Every league does it. EVERY league. People just don't have patience any longer and enjoy the beauty of the game. Everyone's in a hurry and can't enjoy the experience. Sad, really, with generally such a good looking game.

But if anyone is a true simulation player, let me know. Classic pitching, no onscreen batting aids. As pure as it can be done.

It's awful. The lag is terrible.

I 2nd, 3rd and 4th this. Random online 2v2 or 3v3 is garbage. There's too many impatient, cheesers out there in the gaming world who will always look to cheat the game in order to win vs. get the experience of why the game was developed to begin with. They take something potentially authentic and make it a kiddie, arcade experience. Lots of us are looking for more authentic online experiences and co-op with a friend only can provide that.

... then why do they indicate "late", "slightly early", etc. Always thought it was based on press and release (plus where you are aiming). If it's not, it should be, but, ya, work in different consistency attributes for pitchers based on (I would say) primarily their WHIP.

Title says it all.
