I’m going to be blunt. Whoever at SDS made the decision to nerf Griffey…. should be fired, effectively immediately.
Hoping that you guys will fix the card and update it on Monday, yet I’m seriously losing hope that you care at all about your customers. Nerfing Griffey is an absolute abomination.
What is up with diving plays this year? The player can be 15ft from the ball, dive, and then throw a perfect throw every time. I understand a few diving plays working, yet every single time? Not realistic, and so broke. SDS, can you comment on what you have done in regard to diving this year to make is to different than other years? These dives just make the game even more unrealistic, and just further a homer slugfest or nothing game.
@d_e_m_i_s_e_psn said in Innings calculation bug in Ranked Seasons?:
I think the 503 you are seeing is the cumulative of all your players. The 130 is how many you yourself has played.
Interesting, never thought about it like that, but might make sense.
Is anyone else seeing an innings calculation bug in Ranked Seasons? In my Ranked Seasons summary it says I have played 503 innings, yet in the WR reward it says only 140 innings had been played. I played 30 games overall. Anyway, why the discrepancy? Anyone with any ideas?
Confirmed, 120hz works online on an Xbox. I have the video and screenshots to show it.

Game only supports up to 4k 60 fps, regardless of what ya set your xbox or PS on 120hz. Pretty sure this is the case
120hz is a hardware sync between the console and monitor. Even if frames don't increase, 120hz reduces the input lag in half, which can be more important than increasing just the frames. For instance, 4k@60 on my LG CX is 10.9ms. 4k@120 on my LG CX is 5.9ms , so my input lag goes in half. This is why 120hz is important, even if you don't get more frames. The Sony VRR patch was needed to avoid screen tearing at the higher refresh rate.
Also, the game is compiled with the 60fps+ spec, which means it can deliver higher than 60fps sometime. That is why SDS uses the term "targeted 60fps gameplay", as frame rates can change (go up or down), depending on load, cables, etc.
The game can do 120FPS (on top of 120hz for the refresh rate) if they compile the code with the 120 frame booster patches that are available on the consoles. That would be great as well, yet 120hz refresh rate in itself is the best as the input lag reduction is significant, and what people are really happy and awe-inspired about.
Wow, thanks for this super informative post. Would it be better to have my settings at 1440p at 120hz or 1080p at 120hz? I heard MLB doesn't even support 1440p and the only options past 1080p is 4K (which I don't have).
Correction, I don't think the Xbox supports 1440p.

PS5 doesn't support 1440p , so 1080p and 4k are your only options. PS4 used to support 1440p. Can't remember if the Xbox supports 1440 or not off the top of my head (I think it does), yet the input lag for the CX is less at 4k than 1440 if I remember correctly. I think you might be stuck at 1080p if your are on a PS5.

You are measuring two different things. 120hz, the monitor will tell you if it is running at 120hz. Utilities on the PC can tell you the frame rate, yet I don't think a port of those applications exist on the Xbox, so you won't be able to determine frame rates.
Also, frame rates vary, which is why the game has the 60fps+ tag in the application. System load, cable health, TV/monitor ability....all can impact the frame rate, and it is not always consistent. That is why it is marketed as "60fps+" , and not just 120fps.
So... I don't think anyone will be able to tell you the exact fps rate, only the monitor 120hz sync rate.
So I’m watching Kyle’s stream now- not sure if you’re familiar but he’s one of the most popular streamers for mlb the show and always plays on PS5
He is now saying he left ps5 for Xbox bc of the 120hz
So I’m pretty sure Xbox online is 120hz
I can't watch Kyle, as he is too arrogant and self-absorbed. Unwatchable content.
So, a bunch of them, Kyle, Koogs, are said they are now going to Xbox. I have been saying the game plays better on the Xbox for over a year. Big deal that they are moving over now. They are followers. I think they might be switching not because the Xbox is getting 120, just that they have to turn off the 120hz on their PS5's in order to play on Ranked (you don't have to turn off 120 on your Xbox). I think they think the Xbox is doing 120 online, yet it isn't. I think they are just getting confused because they don't have to turn it off on the Xbox, like they do on the PS5.
Trust me brother- he switched over because according to him and everyone in the chat the Xbox is running 120HZ online and the ps5 does not have that capability yet
I’m literally watching it as we speak
Okay, I can confirm (I have pictures and video), that I am also getting 4k@120 on my LG CX. So, that is what I must have been experiencing since February.
I have a PS5. Wanna trade? I can throw in some bats and balls.
No, I'm good. My son has a PS5, so I can use one anytime. 
My other son and I have Series X's (my other son wanted the PS5 over the Xbox Series X). I got the Series X for both MLBTS and the Microsoft Flight Simulator. The Show plays so smooth on the Series X....and way better than on a Playstation (I had a PS4 Pro before I got my Series X).

Yes, 4k@120hz for the hardware signal. The TV confirmed it was getting the signal at 120hz, 4k. I have the pictures and video. Just was testing it briefly (went into an event game), and sure enough, 4k@120hz stayed, even online.
And that right there is a problem, if we're not allowed the same thing. It's night and day difference.
Not us Xbox user's fault that the Playstation 5 is an inferior system (both software and hardware wise). Sony has struggled with their VRR patch for the past year due to software compatibility issues. This is pretty funny, actually, as so many PlayStation people were bashing Xbox users before. Karma is a bi.....

Didn’t you say in another thread that it was still 60? Not fps I mean ghz
4k@120hz (the hardware signal). The hardware signal doesn't equate to fps directly. However, the hardware signal (4k@120hz) reduces the input lag on my TV from 10.9ms to 5.9ms , which is more important than a frame boost, and actually likely does something similar.
I can confirm (I have pictures and video), that 4k@120 works on an Xbox Series X while playing the game online.

My Xbox Series X has been running 120 since last year. I just noticed a big difference offline last night. However, I did see something late last year that made a huge difference....so maybe I saw the fix late last year and that is why I'm not seeing much of a difference online now. I do know that I saw a huge difference last year when that was significant. Found it in about February, and it made a big difference....so maybe that is when I saw the 120 (and don't realize it now), as it seems the same. But, I am hitting .370 online in Ranked (up to 800) w/ 63 homers with Trout already, so maybe what I did in February was that I throttled 120 then?

Thanks for turning on 120hz for offline. That was a good first step, yet when are you going to enable it for online??
The 120hz reduced my input lag in half on my LG CX (10.9ms at 4k@60 and 5.9ms at 4k@120). Now just need 120hz running anytime, all the time, offline and online. So, when is 120hz going to be turned on online? I suspect it will require all of your cloud servers to be rebooted. Feel free to reboot them anytime, as playing the game at 120hz is incredible....like I said it would be when I originally posted about asking about this over a year ago.
Not having 120 online too, makes playing the game hard as the timing windows are now very different. Let's not punish us players who spent $$$ on systems that support 120hz ..... and please enable 120hz for online play ASAP.
Play offline on Legends until they enable it.
Su
Aren't you an Xbox player? You guys already have it enabled if I'm not mistaken.
My reply didn't deserve a "su" btw, it was a suggestion so you have a similar experience both online and offline, but do go on being an [censored]
Sorry, the 'su' was a mistype, and it wouldn't let me delete it. Nothing bad intentioned.
No, it wasn't enabled before. System-wide you could put the Xbox on 120hz, but it didn't mean the game would abide by that (it could override it). Yesterday was the first time I saw 120hz at the game level this year (although I saw it last year as well during one particular release).
The game just allowed 120hz yesterday, because of the PS5 VRR patch that just got released this week. 120hz on the Xbox wasn't allowed to be enabled because even though the Xbox could do it, they didn't want the Xbox version to play better than the PS5 version, so it just got turned on yesterday, at the same time due to the Sony VRR patch coming out.
This whole thing is so effing confusing and SDS really needs to speak on it-
So according to you Xbox users have not been playing @ 120HZ online?
Because everyone in the MLB show community has been saying otherwise for the past day and a half
PS5 users are actually buying Xbox’s as we speak because of it lol
Look, I'm a software and hardware engineer. I have been saying that the Xbox Series X is way better than the PS5 for over a year, based on reading the specs (and knowing the software in each system). The game runs better on Xbox than it does the PS5 (I've played the game on the PS4, PS5 , Xbox One S and Xbox Series X).... and it plays better without a doubt on the Xbox. It has to do not only with the Xbox Series X hardware being better, yet also because the software on the Xbox is better than the software on the PlayStation, which is just a fact (the Xbox software is much more modern and also has much better driver support than the PlayStation software).
Now, that said, I have not seen the 120hz enabled online, just saw it (it is very noticeable) offline. Would need screen captures from others to show them online and the 120hz readout from their monitor, yet I haven't seen it 120hz online yet, just offline.
If your display is 120hz and VRR capable, you should be able to run online at 120hz with an Xbox Series X. Everyone else has been. I’m not saying that you’re lying, but perhaps your display isn’t capable of it or you don’t have VRR turned on. While you might only get 60fps, the VRR is synced at 120hz to your 120hz display, resulting in reduced input lag.
I have an LG CX with VRR and 120hz , so I can run it at 120. My Xbox Series X has been running 120 since last year. I just noticed a big difference offline, however, I did see something late last year that made a huge difference....so maybe I saw the fix late last year and that is why I'm not seeing much of a difference now. I do know that I saw a huge difference last year when that was significant.

Coincidentally, last last year I found a different issue late last year ......that was able to significantly reduce my input lag. Not sure how much, but it was significant as well. Anyway, ever since I found that and a fix, I can hit insane. I'm hitting over .370 online in Ranked (up to 800 right now) .... and have 65 homers with Trout after just 3 weeks. This is different than the 120hz issue....and has made a big difference for me as well.

@tvsectog_xbl said in 120hz online:
Also, controller button push to the console, the console to process it and then send it to the monitor/TV telling it what to display is additional input lag, yet not usually calculated in the monitor specs. Input lag for the monitor specs is usually just from the console to the monitor. 120 can send twice the amount of information at 60, which is why the input lag lowers in half (performance numbers are not 100% linear as there is some overhead, yet close , and hold true in this case as 5.9ms is relatively close to half of 10.9ms (a 91% speedup, technically).
Thanks for the explanation!
I remember reading a tech article that even recommended using a shorter HDMI cable to help reduce input lag... noting that a 3 ft. cable can shave off milliseconds off of your input lag vs a 6 ft cable... LOL
Depends on the quality of the cable. A shorter cable that is made poorly, won't be faster than a longer cable that is built to spec. Crimps in the cable, etc, can also affect the input lag.
However, yes, in theory a shorter cable should help, as it is less distance for the electrical signal to travel. However, the difference would really be splitting hairs at that point. Theoretically, yes, a shorter cable should be faster, yet not sure we can notice that small of a difference. A 5ms drop is noticeable, yet not sure .6ms I would be able to tell (however, maybe.....maybe....possibly, yet I'll take my 5ms input lag drop due to 120hz .... over a shorter cable .6ms 
)
