....Is it frowned upon to back in and out of the pre-game menus to find a decent matchup online?
At what point does backing out cost you a win? If you back out at that point does it register as a loss?
The reason I ask is because SDS has banned users for too many 0-0 games online where no pitches were thrown. They view it as win trading which they frown upon.
No... it doesn't give a win or loss because it's in the pre-game menu when you can pick your starting pitcher and adjust your lineup. You can tell when it's going to be a bad laggy game because that menu will lag or delay as you navigate through it. I just back out and keep searching for a game that the menu navigates smoothly and those games have no lag and you can actually hit and pitch like a normal game. I would hope they wouldn't ban you for doing this because some online games are literally unplayable due to lag. If they don't want us doing it... they should use better servers. It's the only game I play that gives me any issues with lag, I have great internet, PS5, and good monitor... it's 100% an SDS issue.
Servers aren't really involved much, it's a peer to peer connection, if you don't know, that means one hosts and the other connects to them, so it's basically a function of the players internet quality.
Yes... I've read that here before, but still call it servers. I still don't understand why they don't correct it... game is great, but the online lag is far worse than any other game I've played. I bet a lot of players have tried and quickly left this game because the online H2H experience is unbearable sometimes.
