MLB 15 The Show: Online Impressions After A Week of Playing

[RaychelSnr]

If you read my first impressions of MLB 15: The Show's online experience, than you have a full understanding that after some very early testing in multiple settings, the reports were generally positive. Early on the only issue that we ran into was on-screen synching of what was being displayed.

How are the opponents you have played? Online cheese or pretty good sim?

Online has been horrible. The only mode I play online franchise. On a positive note the gm looks great.

I must say the online play has been great for me so far. I even had a 19 inning game the other night that was so smooth it felt like an offline game. That's where I'm most impressed. There doesn't appear to be any lag with the timing of hitting and pitching that'd you expect in comparing online vs. offline games.

I'm definitely encouraged at this point!

Way better than last years online!

Had a lot of games where my opponent's fielders are lagging behind

For example, I'll think I got a ball into the gap and I'll start heading for 2nd, only for his center fielder to suddenly be 20 feet to the left with the ball throwing me out at 2nd.

When I'm pitching, their swings lag behind. The ball will go through the zone, then they'll swing and put the ball in play.

Also had a game freeze after I stepped off the rubber and threw to 2nd trying to catch his guy stealing. Had to turn off my PS4 and got hit with a loss.

This has been my (limited) experience too. What I'm seeing onscreen doesn't always match what's "really" happening.

With runners on second and third with two outs, I hit a long fly ball to the gap in right center. Commentary supported what was onscreen: a double that one-hopped the fence. The fielder was clearly lagging behind.

All of a sudden, the music comes on and the transition to the next half inning starts to play. Apparently, the fielder actually made the catch.
