I've taken quite a few tries at explaining the issue in various threads, so I'm going to make one myself, and offer to SDS to help. They have my contact information.

Stress balancing is broken on the server node for the menu interfacing.

There's send and receive functions embedded everywhere in every menu that sends data after a function is performed, IE, conquest victory, moment completions etc. When you complete the task, data is sent from your console to a server and logged. For a user to see it at a splash screen post event, a call script reaches out to the data repository and shows your progress.

Whenever you are getting the unhandled server exception, it's like timing out on a ping. The game will then attempt a refresh, thus your little button icon in the bottom right of your screen.

Sometimes you get partial and get bounced back to the main screen of the menu you are in, and sometimes booted completely out to the main game menus.

Whenever you try to log back in to where you were, you are inadvertently creating additional traffic because the data from your console hasn't been reconciled with the data server. This reconciliation actually has happened, which is why you aren't losing progress 95% of the time.

Take these errors and multiply them by the number of users on at any given time, the people banging buttons trying to get back in, and data cached with nowhere to display it because you're already out of that menu. SDS dumps the returned data when you are logged back in and at another menu, but it has to record the failed attempts.

It's an exponential function problem that needs to be debugged because the call time of the functions can't possibly get returns why? Because Xbox game pass created too many users and user requests throughout the game.

Solutions?

1- Change some of the menus. Require us to only go to one spot to get anywhere. Right now for example, I can enter moments from inning programs and moment menus. How do I know this is an issue? When you access a moment from the Inning screen, you get taken all the way out afterwards. If you were in the moments menu, you get taken back out to the moment menu. It's all in the coding.

2. Dedicate more nodes, bandwidth for menu navigation calls. The game plays awesome. Whenever you're actually doing anything, it's smooth as silk. All the troubles are menus. XP, parallels, etc. Data is routing, being stored and ultimately being credited properly.

3- Turn off the web site marketplace untill you eliminate the console errors. It will hurt and stink, but you need a cleaner production environment to test your fixes.

Ultimately, SDS is going to have to reboot servers everyday because these issues must be fixed in a production environment. They need to trim down the production environment in order to resolve though.

Gotta walk before you can run.

I'd bet a good bottle of 1986 Chateau Rothschild that I'm on point with my diagnosis and potential fixes. I've fixed this type of code before for Morgan Stanley and know what I'm talking about.

Thank you for your time.

When you take the best current player, and stick him as a collection reward for cards across all legends and flashbacks, and the card is last year's MVP, it's the definition of "mailing it in".

This took no thought, had no mystical anticipation once released about how the card will play, and was the easiest way out in what has already been a disappointing MLB baseball season.

As an adult in my late 40's, I understand the desire for more recent players. The entire rollout of Future Stars and now this have shown that you are alienating one generation of player for the other.

You guys really blew it here, and in a big way.

Trout could have been a boss, or instead, the LS collection, with Mantle being your ultimate chase.

Everything you rolled out this year was backwards and again.... Disappointing in how it was implemented.

You've destroyed the card value of all the legends of baseball by creating these fake [censored] cards.

I get it. It's just a game.

SDS should have just reskinned MLB and made a separate title called MiLB the show. Segregation of these fake cards from the players that currently have made the show and those before them that are the foundation of baseball.

Unbelievable that they do this, especially in April. Cards like this should be in November/December if at all.

Disrespectful to every current and former MLB player in my opinion.

Hopefully the Nigerian Prince gives you a good code.

Wake me up when BR games and stats and missions start counting. Completely unacceptable at this stage and I'm done wasting my time.

Good luck to everyone playing this evening and this weekend. Having 3 games worth of BR stuff either poof or not register is enough for me to realize that it's just not worth it right now.

Peace out.

Where is hoboadam?

You didn't tag me... Heh

A bit more information from SDS would go a long way.

Is it database? Is it hardware? Is it coding? Is it absolutely nothing that we've speculated about?

Please don't tell us that there's no need to speculate when no communication has occurred. That's pretty poor man.

I'll play anywhere I want, thank you. I purchased MLB the show, not fake stadium The Show.

People complaining about input lag because of stadiums have the ability to remove the rendering issues by changing their POV when pitching or hitting.

I'm not a great player. I don't care to be. I'll NEVER blame my lack of performance on a MLB stadium like so many "elites" do.

The elite hitters are staring at a strike zone across the entire screen. Don't matter what stadium you use.

When pitching, if you think you are lagging or unable to control your timing because of the stadium, blame the RNG, not the ballpark.

Say what you want, but things look much more stable.

What did they do to fix it? I don't really care. It's working. They certainly didn't sit around waiting to see if things got better on it's own.

Yes, I shouldn't be congratulating them for something that should have been working all along. There's something to be said though for the fact that they did work out some of these big issues with connectivity. Most of the grunt work being done by SDS folks that have never posted on the boards before.

Anyways, it's refreshing to not comb through 12 posts of people saying the same thing, whining, complaining, raging etc.

Really. I am.

When you walk into a casino, you need to mentally prepare to lose everything in your pocket. If you expect to win, you will disappoint yourself every time.

Making these cards sellable, crushed the market. Doing all of these exchanges to 50/70 and only 11 left before hitting 70/70, I'm okay. I've now got 290k stubs just from the exchanges. I'm sitting on 130 BIAH packs to open, 150 TA packs, and 30 other randoms.

I don't feel like I lost anything. I'll have everything locked, I'll be at 70/70 for all teams after opening packs, and my kids will enjoy opening 300 packs watching it rain gold and diamond.

Everyone, enjoy your evening. I will.

Back by popular demand, "We the People" bat skin is back.

That's great but....

Since SDS has thrown BLM around a lot on the splash page, how about a BLM bat skin?

Drop it in a free pack, and let people use it or not to voice their opinion.

Some of these guys haven't hit above 270 at any minor league level, yet their hitting attributes beat 95% of the LS players. Unbelievable.

Happy Memorial Day.

Thank you to all the servicemen and women that dedicated their lives for both God and Country. Also a big shout out to the familes of those who have served for their support.

Without you, we would not have most of the amenities and peace of mind knowing that we live in one of the best countries on the planet.

Thank you for your service both past and present.

Guess we're going to have every team get multiple fake unproven minor league talent FS cards.

Thanks for ruining all live and historical aspects of MLB The Show.

Nostalgia? Na... Let's just skin a bunch of [censored], throw some MiLB player names on them via fishbowl lottery. Let's destroy LS cards value. Let's make legends, flashbacks and HOF players obsolete.

Your decision making team is absolutely [censored] and out of touch.

Go make a MiLB version of this game, and shove all your fake [censored] cards there. Let all the fools play with fake guys in fake stadiums with fake attributes.

You guys suck. That's about it. Have a great weekend.

@malikeve_psn said in i’d like to thank jesus:

Tell us how much US money you put in this game?

And this matters why?

Your comment comes across as snarky. You are implying that the OP made WS by spending money.

Who cares? You certainly shouldn't. Handle your business and worry less about the business of others, especially on an achievement.

Post game, you have the ability to report people for network issues, profanity, team name etc. Add a dashboarding button.

I know. It's a free win. Whatever.

In every online gaming world, there is intentional griefing which is frowned upon and also against most TOS for online play.

Having this feature would allow SDS to have data on chronic dashboarders and potentially do something about it. It would also deter people from doing it.

Yeah, there are legit disconnects that might be improperly reported. Most aren't though. It's always the same guys that do it too.

Just a thought as my HR from a second basemen gets erased because the opponent that bunts with Chipper Jones was butthurt over losing to Altuve.

No Stubs please. Inflation good, it is not.

Diamond 42 No Sell Choice pack is the closest thing you'll see.

I'll be taking another two weeks off from ranked. It's horrible.

This is NOT the same game that was released. Something happened under the hood and I don't care for it.

I'll grind out the inning vs CPU on HOF and Legend for more consistent gameplay and results that are more representative of the input I am making.

It's a shame.

Biggest issue continues to be contact swing. I mean, I struck out 15 and 12 batters respectively. Game one had me give up two bunt singles to Freddy Peralta, who also stole a base. Opponent hit two HR on feedback of 9 and 11. I had multiple outs and fouls with 15.

Second game, I won with using contact swing for the first time this evening leading off with Soriano in the 9th for a rocket double. Trout then P/P for a single to walk it off. I felt dirty.

They messed with sliders and haven't admitted it. It's a real shame.

We're missing the information on pitching.

What pitch is it thrown the most?

How many perfect and good released balls land down as meatballs?

How many times people bring in starters as RP.

@the_dragon1912 said in Atrins Reveal:

I honestly don’t know how I can get the points across that the big names are coming in TA stages 3 and 4

That's irrelevant.

Cards like this are just stupid. Yeah, yeah, i know it's a game and all cards are fake.

Fake fake cards though are [censored].

Future Star cards and Prospects should release AT THE END OF THE GAME CYCLE, and not early to mid season. With every one of these FS cards being higher rated than any LS player or even their flashback cards, I find it insulting.

This should have been November content, not June.

Make a Minor League version of the game and stick these guys there.
