    How to deal with a scumbag that is lag switching you?

    20% of my games involve these jerks. Is there a strategy to help defeat them without resorting to their own dirty tricks? I feel like the ultimate revenge is to beat them playing fair and square on my end. I will start recording them and submitting to have them banned from the game and their PSN accounts suspended as well since it is ridiculously easy to identify someone doing this.

    Thanks.

    I wouldn't. It's their game and they win. Ain't nobody got time for that.

            I had No idea just how bad this was. Maybe I was lucky and faced guys that's liked to play baseball for 30 games. But...

            Just had my first and second lag and being booted. Both games were tied, and once I had runners in scoring position with No outs, it started freezing and continued for about 2 minutes before closing the MLB 15 application and going to my ps4 home screen with a error report. When I got back on the game, it gave me a loss each time and some disconnect card. Pretty raw deal....

                This is ruining the game for me. I pitch great but give up 3 hits and lose, because its impossible to score a run. If i get a hit in the gap, the guy pulls his cord and my runners are too slow to react and his fielders move at normal speed. Get thrown out on easy doubles, its impossible to even know whats going on, and its blatant. I messaged the guy and then he started lag switching his pitches too.

                His pSN is Your10Ply

                and he's not good at the game but pulls his cable everytime you make contact. Annoying. I've taken like 10 losses the past week because of this, im not sitting through 9 innings of that frustration, no thanks.

                  I message the lag switchers and cheesers and tell them they can have the W. I'll quit after and take the loss, I'd rather move on and play a better game. I don't care about my record though.
