Re: MLB The Show 17 Team Provides Update to Server Issues, Online Franchises & More

Now if they could fix all those online cheesers! I mean damn I'm not a big online player but I created a dd team and gave t a try. So many times people are trying to score when a runner is on second and the batter hits a ground ball to an infielder. Easy out to first and then I just chill because the CPU never goes for home but not online players!

and people wonder why I don't play online... wonder why... oh that is right this is why..respect, as been lost... treat others as you demand to be treated, is a thing of the past... online bullies rule the internet... and that is what cheesers are... bullies... they need to be banned from ever competing on any level on any online game...

I'm not playing online, but I do feel for the people that do. I can relate, 2k has never fixed most of their glaring issues for online. I Just come to expect it. IT's too bad, I won't expect all the problems to go away, they just release these games unfinished, or it's simply too many people playing at once.

Its been good for me today, one conquest game and two ranked seasons games both processed immediately (no queue).

I'm done with online till its fixed. Another game freeze up & another into the "Bsrmuda Triangle" of queues. Good thing im really enjoying RTTS or else i would've traded this game in already.

Look, I'm a teacher, and I've taken a pay freeze before when times were tough even though my performance/numbers were stellar. In the same vein, now that the studio is flush with cash it's on THEM to invest in the infrastructure to fix the problem NOW for NEXT YEAR. They are hardline marketing an ONLINE mode that MAKES THEM MONEY while using substandard infrastructure and SCREWING WITH PEOPLE'S TIME.

Sorry for the caps.

But the argument that, yeah, this happens every year, don't get bent out of shape, just wait it out, etc., lets them off the hook. I don't even play DD, but it's the principle that's involved. I wouldn't be so upset if they had actually made substantial improvements to F and RTTS, but they haven't: they're putting all their eggs into their moneymaker mode AND IT'S BROKEN.

In other industries, there are very real consequences for crap like this.

How flush with cash are they exactly at the moment? I guess I missed the numbers.

Sony isnt immune, they are as vulnerable as any other industry. we may not be immediately privvy to finding out those consequences but I have no doubt the free market will have a direct impact from this years failures to next years bottom line. the bad thing is it will then impact the rest of us consumers who havent had the problems a lot of people have had this year

i hope they are looking at the wild pitches equal stolen base pretty much every time....the catcher's reaction time is excruciating

Nice snarky comment. They're as flush with cash as they will be all year, post-launch with the market running. You don't need hard numbers to know that.

My larger point was that any business with a legacy problem this big needs to make fixing that problem an immediate priority for next cycle. I'm not saying they're NOT doing this right now -- who knows? -- but what the past has taught us is that it's at least probable they won't -- they'll just band-aid it. I do think and hope, however, that this absolute FUBAR launch might force their hand, which it just might IF they think it will impact their bottom line going forward.

Re: Message from San Diego Studio

I believe the patch caused me to have frame rate drops ala MLB 16. Every thing was running at a smooth 50-60 fps before the patch, cut scenes included. Now, I'm getting constant drops.

I'm not blaming the patch, but I haven't seen fps drops in any other games. So that rules out any "issues" with my PS4 (memory clogged, dusty, etc.).

You can take my post however you would like. There was no ill intent but it's important to point out that making an assumption without knowing the facts is never a safe thing to do.

Right now, your claim was that they are cash heavy which as evidence by you not actually answering my question you really have no knowledge of.

We have no idea what their budget looks like and there is no doubt that their budget includes getting a boost in revenue this time of year so to assume they can just extend that to something they may not have budgeted for is a heavy assumption.

And not one you or I can make not knowing what their budget looks like...
