Will Online Lag be an issue?

[pajcbanned]

Hi everyone,

I am new to MLB The Show, and more than excited for the release. I have an X1, and am buying a PS4 just for this game. I am an avid online gamer, and what concerns me most is the online lag I have read about in the PS3 version. I believe it was even an issue on The Show '12.

Now, I understand that the PSN network on PS4 is a whole 'nother animal compared to the PS3 (at least I think it is, someone correct me if it's not), but has anyone heard about an effort from the PS4 crew to alleviate the lag while playing The Show online on PS4?

I read the PS3 review on IGN and one of the cons is "laggy online experience". Please tell me your experience with this game online in terms of latency. Thanks!

Well as of now, no one really knows about lag on the PS4.

I understand. What are your thoughts?

It's kind of up-in-the-air to be honest. Yet, I am optimistic because Ramone Russell

Great. Thanks for the feedback man. Was he asked this directly?

being that we now have to pay to play online with PS4, one would hope that a first party developer can deliver. Online has been the weakest mode of the series and so far with MLB14 on PS3 it is by far the worse of the series, so not getting my expectations to high for PS4

I agree, as ironic as it may sound, I was actually happy to hear that PSN on PS4 was pay-to-play. One can only conclude this would lead to a better overall experience.

Your point about the online experience being weak on the PS3 version is disappointing. I guess we will find out on the 6th!
