Question about MLB 16 Online

[MFLB410]

I have not kept in a loop with all the live streams etc. Just wondering if anything has been said by the devs about improvements to online play for MLB 16? I know MLB 14/15 suffered from bad syncing issues. Has anything been said about this being fixed or will online play improvements be casted aside like the past few years?? Thanks!

They had a Diamond Dynasty stream. Talked about they did some balancing and removed so cheese tactics, haven't seen much more than that.

I am talking just more general online like lobby room games and exhibition games vs buddies. In years past the SYNC issues have been horrible. Guys jittering everywhere. We would both see things differently on each others screens which can't happen in baseball.

They probably will talk about online play during the franchise stream on Thursday.

Here was Ramone and me discussing online perhaps this week?

I just want to know if the technical issues from previous years online play have been resolved. So if you get to ask him more questions please ask if the online sync issues have been resolved.

I have a feeling synch issues could still potentially be a problem at times since they haven't really been brought up as being improved or fixed in any of the "Fact Sheets" or Twitch streams.

The most glaring problems are not knowing where the ball actually is while base running and the other is a really bad one where a pitched ball disappears into a "portal" and then reappears somewhere else in the strike zone.

Not sure if it helps with these issues but I try to play in minor league parks whenever possible.

I played my first online game just 2 days ago. This problem was really bad.


I'd hit a ball into the gap and see the ball, apparently, go to the wall so I stretched it into a double. Only when the next batter came up the bases showed empty. The only thing I could think was that the ball was actually stopped by the outfielder and that I was thrown out at second. I did not see any of that happen though.


I did not know whether it was an issue with my connection, my opponents connection or whether it was just normal.
