So I did a bandwidth limiter on my router and the first 2 days were amazing. I was mercying everyone including a flawless player and making WS, 1000 rated players quit after an inning. I was seeing the actual pitch speeds and now understand how people are hitting .400 on HOF. I was doing that for those 2 days. Not sure what happened but every since I am running into the same stuff with warping pitches, delayed baserunning and people hitting 200 are hitting my dotted pitches like I'm throwing slow pitch softball. Seems like the only people that have issues with this game are wired with gig internet. I don't think that is a coincidence.

I was so excited those 2 days. Felt like a completely different game. Once again I have zero interest in getting to HOF since I can't catch up to 90 on all star as pitches just warp from hand to catcher. I literally have games where I'll push the steal button and the players won't even go. Actually thinking about purchasing that Ready or Not game on PS5.

@GoozeFn_PSN said in What percentage of players go flawless?:

@DemIsE4_XBL I agree with this. I think they said 2% of people were making World Series last year before they lowered the bar. It’s significantly harder to go 10-0 than make WS. It has to be less than 1% and I wonder how many of those people are doing it legit.

As prevalent as cheating is in online gaming these days, not many are doing it legit. Cheating is really out of hand especially in first person shooters. Would be nice if Sony/Microsoft would actually do something about it. I find it hard to believe that those companies can't find people smarter than the cheat companies to stop it. Add a few $ to the yearly subscription and pay someone or a company to get rid of it. Really shouldn't be that hard.

@Pergo_MLBTS Zero chance the issues are on my google fiber for 4 years. Thanks to @yankblan_PSN and @iBonafideScrub__PSN , I think I have almost found a resolution. Last Thursday and Saturday played the best it's ever played. Went 6-0 in the 800 bracket. Sunday/Monday were not very good. Think I got a little more tweaking but Thursday and Saturday were a completely different game.

@Pergo_MLBTS What are your upload/download internet speeds? Asking for a friend

@davisonkj17_PSN I can't argue they should have been released a while ago. They also need to release more all star and 2nd half cards.

@LIONED-33_XBL Man, I think there is way more to this than we know.

One - if you are taking the word of a streamer you probably need to rethink your life.

Two - If SDS put bots in the game to legitimately match with (that is an if because I don't know), there is no way they would ban you for playing and beating up on them. PUBG has bots in their casual game and you can kill as many as you can find and you won't get banned.

I am going with the conclusion that anyone that got banned did something they knew they shouldn't have.

I get banned on here all the time. My other name I think is permanently banned. I know why I get banned when I do.

So I have over 400 hours in the game. Almost every program is done besides Yu Darvish and Speedway which will likely both be done by Saturday. I just play the game. I don't flip, I'm not in immortal division, I don't spend money and my pack luck is virtually non-existent. I am I think 3 collections from Jose not counting the topps now collection which I punted a while ago. I would need like 46 cards and say even at an average of 20k which is reasonable would be 920k. All star I need and I need 5 cards which probably average what 80k? Spotlight won't be too bad but 2nd half is another bad one hidden with Chase cards that I didn't get with my .000001 % pull rate. I don't need Jose right now by any means but I am looking at maybe 2 months to get him without some serious help. Obviously I don't mind grinding but that feels quite excessive. For someone that plays as much as I do, I think almost a month long grind would be reasonable but I think it will be more. The problem is the chase cards. I haven't pulled one all year.

@yankblan_PSN Think it was the new spotlight program.

I am a person that calls out stuff good or bad. Calling out some good this time. Huge props to SDS for releasing a legend pack. This is a great move.

@Ditka06_MLBTS Less than 1% goes flawless. The top cheaters (I mean streamers) must have complained they weren't making enough stubs.

Offline has connection issues too. Just yesterday the pitches were noticeably faster. As soon as I start seeing things like this I know other things are coming. CPU easily stealing 2nd with 80 speed while 97 from me almost gets thrown out. Rolen boots a double play ball. Typical things that happen when connections are bad.

@LHUBison58_XBL He's probably afraid of what most people are that are fans of NY, LA, etc. With a cap you actually need to have smart people making decisions in order to win. You can't just throw 200 million dollars at it. Doesn't take a whole lot of knowledge to be successful with a 250 million dollar budget.

@Tylerslikewhoa_XBL You mean wait for the next 200k all star chase card? How about the 2 spotlight packs you get only to get topps now that you need 150 cards for? Sorry but all star, spotlight and topps now are a joke and yes now you can add the collection that you need a useless Nolan for 100k for.

Sure I can wait for 2 months but that doesn't change the fact that the model is absolutely horrid.

@Teak2112_MLBTS Yea, I wouldn't call content great. Every collection is here are a few players out of the 20 you need (for instance). Need to buy or somehow pull the rest with very limited packs and a .0001% chance of pulling. Spotlight, topps now and all star collections are extremely bad.

I give up on connections in this game. Last few days have been atrocious. I was still like 5-2 yesterday but game was zero fun.

@blitz77tw_PSN I thought The Show had the rights to everyone in MLB which would include HOF'ers. Could be wrong, maybe you need to negotiate with the individual.

6-0 in WC. Only played the full game once and that connection was brutal. Struck out 14 times. I'll take 1 out of 6 over the usual 5 out of 6 though.

@iBonafideScrub__PSN Years. WC game #4. Mercied a flawless player. The difference is unbelievable.

I told people what was going on and only a few believed me. Might try to get to 1000. I did it in 17. Not sure if I have the reactions at soon to be 56 on legend but we'll see.

@yankblan_PSN Well, 3 games into WC. 1st game 1000 rated player dashboarded 1st inning. 2nd game WS player dashboarded 1st inning. 3rd game 7 inning mercy.

So far no warping pitches or all the other bs.

@yankblan_PSN and @iBonafideScrub__PSN You guys may have made The Show 1000 times more enjoyable. Thank you sincerely!

Still need to play some more but early results are fantastic.
