Again, how I got here: everything normal, started events, did batting and pitching practice on legend, changed settings to veteran, went to events, everything was legend and has been since even with a reinstall

I don't really know how to describe my game experience. I went to batting practice and did it on legend to get ready for events. Since then (including in the event) it has been stuck on legend and I can't get it to go back. I deleted my saves. I restarted. I deleted the game and reinstalled. I have video of my skill level on beginner -- BEGINNER -- and 100% 0.03s pitches are yellow and incoming pitches are blazing fast. Idk how to reset these but I hope someone can help

The good news is when you get packs in your inbox they're likely already determined who is in them. So if you actually pulled two in one pack it shouldn't be a problem. Or you're lying and want two free diamonds

The real solution would be have more server interactions - best case you don't lose an at bat or a strikeout. Not to make it difficult to get your progress to save on number of requests made. Solving the scalability problem is more pressing than finding ways to make fewer interactions

There are server interactions after every AB. That's why dashboard HR don't register but the previous SB does.

Two clients are sending data when the game gets dashboarded. Reconciliation occurs and defaults to the last event validated on both clients. The previous AB.

There used to be issues last year not noticed by the community. Sometimes client A would send an error, client B a hit. Also the instance where a run would score when an out was made at a base concurrently when advancing a runner. You'd win 3-3. The opponent would show a 4-3 loss and vice versa.

Exactly. Dashboarding only works within a few seconds and the only reason it can't be recorded immediately when the game determines the outcome is because there's possibility for it to be stolen. You get updates on each move your opponent is making in the outfield. The servers need to handle every action (think of a FPS where every bullet, turn, movement have to be communicated real time). Horizontal scalability was an afterthought, yet again, and it's what's needed to handle scale. These aren't mainframe days, these require real-time messaging with post processing and scalability. It's not about finding where you can cut down on information

They've messed up another release but you guys act like they're a company of 1500 with PR and hundreds of devs watching the servers at all hours waiting to address the community in case anything goes wrong. Some fortune 10 companies with 5000 devs don't have that. SDS is probably up to 20 devs. Don't think they don't care. The smaller the shop the more likely they take all of this to heart and they're probably busy trying to fix it without extra resources that would be directed to go provide an update to the crowds

No server stability what so ever. Game is so bad, Xbox game pass should refund all subscribers for the month for including this game in the game pass. Thank god I didn’t waste any money on this game for service steaming pile of doggy [censored].

To make sure we all understand correctly, you want to be paid for a free game you aren't happy with. And one that you care enough to visit the forums to discuss... As if you can't wait to get back to your DD grind

Don't expect compensation

The good news is PayPal is really quite good about refunding for things that don’t work. I’m about to that point.

If you're looking to pursue it, this and credit card charge backs are the way to go. Don't bother asking your retailer or the game maker.

SDS just checked your site and you're not hiring someone for this. You are really struggling with elasticity, you require hours of downtime for each of your updates, your website and your game servers seem to take each other down, and it's not new. You need to bring in someone who understands horizontal scalability. You've made a great game when few enough people are playing it

I also tried for mlb20 and same result

Been playing this for years and years, beta tester, etc. It is always the same when a new game launches, takes weeks to work it out. You would think by now they SDS would finally get this all worked out. Probably be more buggy with cross-play, come on SDS!!! get this resolved for god's sake.

Wait, this happens every year and they do nothing to fix it? What is this company doing with its money?

buying about 10 more raspberry pi's to host the additional xbox players
