Ditto. I have only played one online game, but this happened to me as well. I was up 7-3 fairly late in the game. We were getting some lag, so to the other conceded, and I accepted. The game froze going back to the lobby (I gave it over 10 minutes). I could not even get to the XMB, and had to cold boot.

The game doesn't freeze, but the catcher stands up to receive the ball, and then they all just stand there. Definitely needs to be fixed. In the meantime, maybe pitchouts can be used instead? I have to just throw outside because you might throw a wild pitch instead.

I intentionally walk Pujols and Holliday one right after the other with no problems in 3 games last night.

I haven't played online yet but a buddy of mine did and he said it was awful. I don't understand how anyone in this thread can say they have no lag but in the past games they've never had any lag either. The devs acknowledged lag was a problem last year.

Actually last year games were OK online if you could get over the terrible lag when batting/pitching. I remember i'd throw a strike and be proud of myself, the guy would whiff on it and then like a second after I thought I got a strike the ball would come streaking to the outfield. I was like..WTF? I got used to it though but man did it look awful.

Played 2 games. Work perfectly.

Is there anyway you update so you use the broadcast field view when playing?

[adman14]

anyone ever get stuck in the team select screen in online play?

IDK if this was mentioned before but the hits online look awkward/glitched, hitting the ball looks like it hits the players helmet rather than the bat.

So far I have to say the online experience is way better than it was last year. It wasn't so bad last year for me, though there was definitely lag issues to get used to. I played in a league that was really competitive and it was a lot of fun.

In about 10-15 games, only one has been what I would consider to be really laggy. 90% have been absolutely smooth, and just a couple games have had even a little lag.

The lighting even looks great online, with the overall graphics definitely being nicer than they were last year. Way less aliasing and blurring going on.

Now, if they could just do something about these guys that abuse the early steal. And - for anyone who plays one of these guys - you can't step off with R1 this year. Just hold L2 and throw to the appropriate base. I got burned once by the early steal because I was trying to step off like last year, but then I figured out and the guy stopped doing it right away.

You can do something yourself about that...vary your delivery time. There's nothing wrong with the early steal...it's when you constantly throw the same or quick pitch, then you are easy to time.
