    Re: How Has Your MLB 15 The Show Online Experience Been?

    Played 4 games tonight.

    First game was against who admittedly doesn't have a great connection and there was warping all over the place when things got hit to the outfield.

    2nd - 4th games were against someone I know across the coast and everything was flawless.

    One potentially troubling thing was me throwing a pitch in the strike zone for a ball ( it was well within the strike zone) and on my friends screen it was down in the dirt for a ball. Two totally different placements. I even got commentary talking about how the umpire blew the call.

      Hopefully im not the only one, but im not a fan of being forced to use "fast play" presentation in DD games. Both against another user and cpu/extra innings. Would love to be able to watch replays and enjoy the ambiance you get in regular modes

        I played three league games last night and each one played flawless, as if it was offline. If I am fortunate enough for this to be the norm then I may have to get a divorce as I had a complete blast and will be playing into the wee hours of the night !

          Just to add to my previous post, you know that you really love the game and in this case the online experience when I played three and lost two but yet still enjoyed the experience so much I don't even mind losing and I hate losing.

            Not responding to OP but it will never get old, NEVER, reading about wifi users who expect wired latency in baseball online. I see these people all the time whining about lag in every game ever. I sure hope the Show is improving and from what I see it has made some strides.

              My worse game was like this as well and clearly an issue with my opponents internet

                Re: How Has Your MLB 15 The Show Online Experience Been?

                I've played 5 DD games. The gameplay is a lot less laggy duirng the pitch but when fielding the animations are all kinds of messed up. Fielders transporting/sliding. But the imput for hitting and pitching are very good. I have had issues where at the end of a game, it would not go through and be added to the que for processing. Other than that, it's been very good compared to last year

                  Re: How Has Your MLB 15 The Show Online Experience Been?

                  Playing my 1st online game right now... laggy

                  edit: opponent has quit after I took a 1-0 lead

                  edit 2: 2nd game was a lot better. It was still a bit laggy, but definitely playable.

                    Played 1 game last night and it was a very pleasant experience. Major improvement over last years release. Very excited for the upcoming online season. For the people who say nothing has changed I don't know what to tell you. It was noticeable to me right away.

                      For those that nothing has changed then Im willing to bet its on their end (connection/internet)

                        You played one game. I don't see how a full report can be given on just one game played.

                        It has NOTHING to do with internet connection/speeds. If THAT were the case, then players would have been morphing to the ball, disconnections, etc would be happening for YEARS rather than just the past two.

                        100% of it is on them. Improved from last year? Slightly, but still nothing to brag home about.

                        After TWELVE games, one of the fastest connection possible on my end (business class. Unable to go Google Fiber or something along those lines since it doesnt exist in my area of Seattle), and tested it with communication with the people I played, here are my results:

                        1. Freeze (Cruz froze on the way to first. Talked to guy afterwards, called me a glitching tool and that was the end of that haha)

                        2. Freeze (Ball 4 froze. Talked to the guy said it was his first game)

                        3. Okay (players morphed to the ball many times, but pitching/hitting was okay)

                        4. Disconnect (He quit in the 1st because of lag)

                        5. Freeze (Morphed all game long. Froze after a single to right field. Talked to guy also had business class and located in Seattle about 10 minutes away)

                        6. Fine (small hiccups but nothing major)

                        7. Froze (Yet ANOTHER freeze. This time on a home run. Sat there forever and just waited. He ended up quitting. Tried to talk to him no answer)

                        8. Guy Quit during introductions (mostly lag which actually probably WAS on his part. Said he was downloading some stuff)

                        9. Froze (ball four again. Guy has Comcast sent me a pic of his specs. Has ping of 36ms with over 100 download speed and 10mb upload)

                        10. Fine (nothing too major. Some morphing but do-able)

                        11. okay (still not great. Guy has business class. Tried to talk to him about specs, didnt know much)

                        12. Freeze (Ball four yet again. Guy called me some names I cant repeat)

                        Overall, thats HALF the games I played that froze during it. And the games it actually DID work, there was still morphing. This isnt adding the fact of how long it took someone to play me. Took a LONG time to find someone without saying something like game failed or something like that.

                        Overall, just as crappy as an experience as last year. The fact they were so quiet on everything BEFORE the release should be a strong indication. Go watch the streams again. Spend 30 minutes talking about name brand stuff and gave 11 second answer on internet being "fixed." There was a reason...its because NOTHING was fixed.

                          I'm in Italy, so every year there's some difficult to play online, especially versus american players.
                          In this moment i've finished my first online match against an english player.
                          I can say, that the connection was terrific, the lag nonexistent, the response of the commands perfect.

                          What i can say ?
                          My first match has been fabulous. I hope that, when the servers will be full, the lag does not hurt me too......as every years !

                                Go play a handful of games (say like 20) and tell me how it feels when you are ahead and in the bottom of the 8th and the game freezes and you get a loss haha. Most frustrating thing in the world. I would LOVE to get a refund or have SOMEONE from MLB the show to come talk to me about this. Every e-mail, tweet, WHATEVER goes unheard as they ONLY care about positive material. Which makes sense because they dont want to steer away people from the fact they lied about their product. Go look at their social media sites! Everyone kisses the productions team's feet about how good they are at addressing the fans and how open they are. Well SOMEONE should alert them to this....or another blind eye?

                                Not hating all the way. Offline, game is fantastic. Looks great, plays even better. Online, you're f****. I dont like being lied to. The BIGGEST part of me buying this game was online. I trusted them since they have a solid track record and I've been playing this game since the 989 sports days.....but this is getting insane.
