MLB 10: The Show - Online Thoughts/Comments

[Bahnzo]

What about check swings? I'm anticipating that if check swings are finally possible online that it will be a very different game this year.

Also, anyone tried a hit and run?

The game then locked up and he quit the game. FML. I wont go into "sky is falling" mode until the games "officially" out a few days.

Sounds like something (a router) failed or overloaded somewhere between you guys. It happens. I would imagine that nothing should change even with lots of people being on for the release. Since the servers only do matchmaking, the connects between each player shouldn't be affected. That is if the servers don't blow up from all the people trying to get matched up in the first place.

We just took the production servers down for about 30 minutes to make some last minute updates before the game releases on Tuesday so don't panic if you can't get online right now

I pray this game plays better online this year... it would make it so much more enjoyable.

We knew eachother so we didn't get matched up. Before we played the game said "Great". The connection played awesome for two innings and then went south. We went through 4 innings until it locked up so I doubt it's a router. My internet has been connected the entire time.

No, what I meant was a router/switch out there on the internet somewhere between you guys. Connections go through so many hops that all it takes is one quick failure from a company somewhere to ruin an otherwise good connection.

Yeah, I'm curious about check swings too. It would be awesome if they work this year.
