@PriorFir4383355_XBL, this is the reality of it. I suspect it's due to a lack of investment in developers/managerial and executive decisions to prioritize profit over player satisfaction. The Show use to be the pinnacle of baseball gaming, in my opinion, and without viable competition (looking at you, 2K) there is no incentive to better the state of the game.

I'm not sure why anyone would assume it's an ISP issue... As a cyber-sec analyst, I can provide detailed input, but the only impact I could see an ISP having is if they throttled DL/UL connections to PSN and/or MLB.

As for the game/the way SDS manages it:

It's a client-server model w/ P2P elements. It also implements advanced netcode to manage latency for smoother gameplay (this includes input prediction/anticipating player actions to compensate for delays, lag compensation/real-time adjustments for latency discrepancies from the P2P aspects, and tick rate control/maintaining a consistent update rate to sync game states across clients effectively.

@sbchamps17_NSW Based off the game's code, ISP likely has nothing to do with it unless the public IP is being DDoS'd or something completely out of the norm.
Crossplay modes introduce added complexity — games may balance tick rates or buffer sizes differently.

The disconnection from the Show server is an SDS and/or PSN issue, not your ISP.
