Yo this isn't somuch of a fuk in moreso it is an attempt to clarify some specific online issues and to start a thread where we can discuss observations about online issues.
SPEED vs. LAG
As far as connection speed and lag is concerned ,these are my thoughts; There seems to be a slight but noticable difference in reaction time when playing online. Meaning if you want to hit a high fastball or rob a homerun you have to be even quicker online then you normally would offline. I wouldn't call it a lag , but in a way it is a slight lag. This seems to always be present. I have remedied this by reducing the pitch speed by 1 of my normal game. - So for example i play w/ "fast" speed online when i would normally use "real" speed offline. I have really gotten comfortable hitting online and just had a breakout 22-2 game online. However online offense does take a little adjusting to for the delay issue.
Now , another online issue - check swings- my experience is that i can check a contact swing nearly always , but online to check a power swing it seems to be only about 50/50 chance of checking.
Lets talk about the dirty b3yotch known as LAG. When the players move in slow motion , a changeup seems like a knuckleball and your chances of hitting a fastball or laying off bad pitches is worse then if you got your lazy *** out to a real baseball team... yes this is LAG. Im going to be stubborn and insist that 90% of lag can be prevented by checking your opponents connection speed.
If i am challenged more then once by a player who is not visable on the screen i might accept and ask him to create a game so i can see his connection speed. Except for friends , I do not play anyone who has less then 5 connection speed. When i have matched 5 green bars w/ an opponent I don't think i have ever had any lag beyond what i was talking about earlier with the slight delay. I havent seen any slow motion crap thats for sure. Still , I have heard a few complaints about players seeing 5bars and there still being serious lag. If this happens to anyone , if you could reply to this post and list your discription of problem, pitch speed, difficulty level that would help troubleshoot it. thanks
Records questions - well my records seem to work fine. I have noticed when i first long on it might show me as 0-0 for some reason and then after a game or something it shows my true record ? I hear people say that it doesn't keep records at all for them ?
Records seem like a server or xboxlive issue rather then something saved to the xbox ?
Online Etiquette
Try to have your communicator around at least for ground rules and stuff.. why not ask before you change rules/options... don't choose extremely similar uniforms as opponent u knucklehead... , use your bullpen to relieve - not other starters... if u use a voice mask please pass on the highpitched or metallic variety... consider letting a cutscene or 2 play... do not rapid fire pitch the nanosecond that the pitcher has the ball...
