Yes, in the previous thread that I am quoting and bringing back to life, they talked about the 24 hour where you cannot be matched up against the same player. This is not something I have been able to find from the show 20 as accurate, however it makes sense. Still would not explain the multiple days of trying with zero success.

@onnagood1 The first time we tried this and were successful, it was 9PM on a Sunday. I figured it would be a pretty busy time but perhaps that will have to be the move. We have tried at times around 9AM-11AM and 9PM-11PM every day. We give up every time and run the games without them counting just out of pure frustration of waiting around and just wanting to play. Also, yes this year also allows for the same pitcher screen for flashing ready after waiting to confirm its the friend in the match.

Really interested to know if there is anyway to increased our odds by some IP, DNS, Server, etc. change.

Re: The match-up system of MLB the show

There are some older threads on what the matchmaking obstacles are in the SHOW 20. I tried this theory out someone had on the older thread and it worked like a charm - my friend and I partied up and joined a RS game same time. Did not work the first time however, second time we paired up. I should note that he lives in Miami and I am in DC - not too close.

Since then, days upon days of trying to match up again and nothing is working. We are messing with the slider and not. We both have the same record, and his rating is only 80 higher so our matchmaking window is within the same parameters.

Has anyone been able to do this more than once with a friend? I am aware that we can play without it counting towards something, however I would rather be earning something as we attempt to win. Not looking to cheat or anything, we play for keeps.

Also, has anyone been able to change their matchmaking region somehow, either through The Show or through networking options?
