    Re: Why are the servers still down?

    I've been able to get in with zero issues or lag in the menus late last night and this afternoon, obviously not peak hours but it's an improvement. Only thing it's still doing is queueing up results after games. Which is annoying but I still get the card and result later.

      Saw your post above. Why should people just be content that it's a bad online game?

          I just bought this game and won't be able to play it for a few more hours, but was wondering how are the online servers holding up for ranked games?

              I agree. it's an awesome sports game offline only though. but that isn't good enough these days or for me at least.. I am a gamer who is only interested in playing online and mainly vs my friends in sports leagues or whatever... every sports game should work decent online these days. MLB the Show is so far behind the times it's embarrassing. PES is a great game offline as well but I don't buy it because online sucks.

              Me and my friends bought MLB the show this year specifically to play online against eachother.. that's it.. nothing more.. it shouldn't be this hard to h ave online functional for 1 v 1 play...

              i mean it's sad when nHL and FIFA can easily play 6 v 6 in one game with no problem but this game has issues even getting a 1 v 1 game going successfully.

              the developers of this game MLB the SHow have stated that their most improved mode from last year to this year is DD.... weird considering you have to be able to connect online to their servers to even get into DD

                Dont expect to play online for at least a week. Connecting to the servers are incredibly shady to say the least. IF you get connection, most ranked games will freeze in the middle of the game. Overall, 5 of my 7 games online have froze, even late at night when the traffic on the servers have been light. I was able to sign on and get the rewards or whatever else, but if you are looking to play ranked games, I HIGHLY suggest you dont try for a while.

                  I agree with everything you say here. I play this game almost exclusively 1 v 1 online and RTTS. I dont really dig into DD or franchise...though I probably should....

                  Anyways, its even just the basic playing a 1 on 1 game that is incredibly challenging at the moment.

                    Not exactly a fair suggestion. This game is advertised as having online functionality. Just because you don't use the online part, doesn't mean that its not a legitimate gripe that the servers are bad right now. I am patient with it, but I can certainly understand frustrations with it and to the point that it should just be shrugged off as "why don't you just play offline and be happy". Just my .02

                      This. Listen, I love The Show and have purchased and played it religiously for a decade now. But if you are giving a company your money for a product that doesn't work as advertised, you have a right to be upset. This is a continuos problem for them. Saying that they are a small team doesn't cut it anymore. While the fundamental gameplay in The Show is superiors to any other sports game I've played- they are far behind in many aspects. I really wish they had some legitimate competition that would light a fire under their butts.

                        and now we all know the real reason why they didn't do anything to update online franchise or talk about it at all..

                        it's because they knew that their online was going to suck any ways... they probably only have at the very most half of the servers online that they actually need.

                        I will probably wait at least a week or 2 to see if things get better. I'm sure they will but how much better I don't know.. I'm pretty positive they can't stay this bad.. I would hope

                          Almost a full day since they said we should be able to play online consistently and they are still monitoring things. Bad look.

                              Just because you play offline does not mean everyone should. Shoot even Franchise tries to connect to the server to track mission progress.

                              Every last aspect of Diamond Dynasty needs access to the server. I played a game against the CPU (mostly offline) and the game was indeed fun but it never gave me any progress towards any of the missions.

                              They are lucky that RTTS is their most played mode by a large margin and currently does not have any missions attached to it or else this would be even worse.

                                I appreciate that they have been replying but a simple statement more than once a day on their main twitter account would go a long way to alleviating some of the frustration many are feeling.
