@victor_sds_psn said in Server Stability 4/21/21 - UPDATE:

Hey folks-

We're aware of slow and/or unstable server performance many of you have experienced and brought to our attention. Our team is working to diagnose and resolve the underlying issues, more updates to come. Thank you for your patience.

Update 7:19 PM PT 4/21/21
Servers are now back online. We will continue to monitor and work to improve stability.

Victor,

While the issue was acknowledged I'd like to ask a few things about how this was handled and the why's of it.

Why did it take so long for SDS to acknowledge there was a problem? This has been known for hours as Post were made and I am sure the Servers are continuously monitored by someone.

What is actually causing the issue? Instead of a quick statement, "They are back online". A statement of why this occurred could help clear up some false statements about what the community thinks.

Why is there a direct problem between the game and the website? Are they on the same server? Is there an underlying issue of too much going on at once that is causing problems on both sides?

Why is this an issue every year with MLBTS? While I am sure the group never wants this to happen. The past should tell SDS something drastic has to change. This can't go on.

If an issue arises again, maybe issue a quicker acknowledgement and warn those who put time and effort into the game only to find it was for nothing but an Error Occurred.

No compensation is needed for something that cost nothing but time. But for those who are losing stubs and cards, something has to be done to make it right.

@Pat_SDS_PSN
Maybe you can direct him, I can't seem to locate that option via the Website yet?

Buy now + sell now = profit. Just make sure the math works out with the tax, and don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I am quite familiar with how the Market Works bud .You misunderstand the Image and what is taking place. The system won't allow such a Transaction to exist.

You can't place an Order to Buy the Card for 24,350 if someone has one listed for 23,650. You will get an Error, a better offer already exist.

This is just one of many cards listed on the Market Right now that are like this. It is a coding issue.

I've been playing diamond dynasty since 17. I'm also quite familiar with how the market works "bud", and I didn't misunderstand anything. I know it's not supposed to work that way. However, if the game actually lets you buy and sell now to get a profit because of a screw up on SDS's part...don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Just do it. Now whether or not you can actually use buy now and sell now on that particular order, I have no idea since the servers are down and I wouldn't be able to test it.

Using your Soto example, you could buy now for 43000, and then sell now and get back 43200 after tax. Not much at 200 stub profit, but it's profit for nothing.

In the years past, you were never allowed to place that type of order without an Error Message and replace your bid. Maybe this year something slipped through and you can. Since I can't actually access the market to test this, Imma go with either you know this or @hoboadam_PSN is correct that this is a Website/Sever issue that hasn't translated from the game yet.

Either way, thanks for the input bud and I'll try once I can get on the Market.

"Walk"- Pantera

I feel SDS says, take us as we are or "Walk on home, boy"

Yes sir, I didn't Pre-Order till Friday morning around 8am and was playing within 20mins.

I have also only used Meter since I can remember. But this year seems awfully hard to hit the line and my pitches just hang all the time. And I haven't even got out of Spring Training Yet!!!

I know I took 2020 off but geesh, say I haven't lost my touch and gotten too old!!!

@ny_giants4_life said in Thoughts on this years launch:

Just want to gather everyone's thoughts on what they think of the launch so far. I've read and encountered so many issues over this past weekend such as RTTS being unplayable due to all the loadout bugs, missing stubs/player cards, constant server errors negating progress, and apparently some people on next gen cant even get into the game at all or are missing their rewards. With today being official launch day my question for returning players is, is this the worst mlb the show launch we've seen? As for for the new players and especially xbox players, i ask what are your first impressions on the show after craving a decent baseball game for so long?

I simply ask, "Is this your 1st year playing MLBTS?
If not you should be used to bugs and errors that will occur for quite some time.
Whether it is Launch Day, A New Event, added programs etc,, Expect to see problems throughout the process.
Not saying it is acceptable but sums up to another year of what MLBTS is known for.

In game?
Because Website has been the same all morning.

An error occurred!
There was an issue connecting to the MLB 21 Servers. Please try again.

Yeah on the console

Well being a White Collar Worker M-F 7am-4pm, I have to rely on the Website to make stubs.

Make your stubs girl!!!

Same, I've still been using the website some this week while at work, its been abysmal.

Pretty rough huh bud.

I'll have about 10 Tabs open at a time and cycle through them as the others load. Do what we gotta do!!

They will only get better as people get tired of the problems and move onto to other games. Less Traffic, Better the Servers perform. Works like a charm.

@hoboadam_psn said in Here's what I think is happening with the servers.:

Things have been pretty solid today. See you guys around 8:10 EST and hopefully nobody is around because we're all playing MLB.

Steak Night at Cabo's Clear Lake with the wife. While I won't be on, I'll have Baseball on TV's.

Cheers.

@kush_coder_psn said in Whats up with this Trevor Megill card for the Cubs.:

Oh okay thanks, I wasn't sure I hadn't ever really had that problem. Put I usually put in money and rip a lot of packs on opening night. And for the record, i'm terrible sorry, I didn't realize that he just came out on the 30. But i'm even more sorry that your math is so bad, you don't realize 30th - 6th is 1 FULL week.

Really, I thought 1 week = 168 Hrs. Which is 2pm CST tomorrow but what do I know?
