    Re: MLB 15 The Show Online Impressions

    I first want to say I love all the little things about MLB THE SHOW and I applaud the SCEA team on the great job they did this year with MLB 15. This is not a personal attack on any developers or SCEA.

    I like seeing batter walkups, Homeruns, pitching matchups at the beginning of the game, defensive lineups, the next 3 batters up with the 3 little photos, dugouts with showing managers etc

    Now I also want to add I only buy this game to play online and run a successful online franchise. I noticed right away when creating my online franchise this year that FAST PLAY is the only option we have as it was locked. So my first thought was well maybe it was not meant to be locked. So I contact the developers I know on shownation and they have confirmed that all online games will use FAST PLAY this year.

    Now dont get me wrong I understand why they did this for online games the same thing in 2008 that another MLB game the developers did the same thing and you got no presentation online either and killed the online experience for a lot of us then you had no idea who you were pitching to. I am not saying the MLB 15 THE SHOW is this way we do see the display of who the batter is but all the "little things have been removed due to FAST PLAY and I just feel like I paid for half of a game right now. I cant begin to tell you how disappointed I am that they did this.

    Again I understand why they chose to do this for online games mainly rank matches, regular lobby games but to lock it down for online franchise just does not make any sense to me it should be our option to have fast play on or off as I never thought the games in OF had any major issues, I had no lag or glitches with previous show titles in OF.

    I am just wanting to see what everyone else thinks and vote on the POLL please. I mean no close play challenge, you dont see any long foul ball complete, the HR challenge of the unpires is gone as well in FAST PLAY. I love those close games 2-2, 1-1 and even 0-0 in bottom of 9th you hit a walkoff or even in extra innings to see the team celebrate at home when this is done and to enjoy your guys running the bases is exciting to me and in FAST PLAY all this is taken away from us.

      Did three online DD games and got disconnected on the last 2 by the 3rd inning. Lag on pitching/hitting seems fine, but the fielders are warping everywhere and half the time the ball lands in a gap, then I watch the game freeze for a bit, then all of the sudden the ball is caught in the infield, and all of my baserunners have warped backwards.

        MVP Baseball had this online gaming down packed!! U would think within 365 days they would have fixed the issue by now.... I'm conducting my own survey before picking up a copy....

          Just played my first online game in about 3 years.
          Very pleased and surprised at how smooth the game went. No disconnects, no lag at all while I was batting. I literally could not tell a difference in online and my RTTS guy.
          There was a little lag every so often while I was on defense but not much at all and still very playable and enjoyable.

            Has anyone else try to start an online franchise and try to upload a roster but it ends up taking a long time. It says it just failed.

              MLB 15 The Show Online Impressions

              I've played five games online and two of them have ended with a completely frozen screen. No players move, I can't do anything. I see fans walking in the stands and all the sounds but nothing else is happening. I can't even access the pause menu. I have no choice but to kill the application. In one game i was winning 7-1 in the ninth inning and the game froze. Somehow I got the loss! So much for my diamond dynasty team. I don't even want to play online now.

                Sorry to hear that sbauer. After a certain point if anyone gets a loss in a frozen game it should be the person behind in the score for sure.
                I had good luck my first game but I don't play online much so I hope my good luck continues.

                  Thanks. The other guy said his screen was frozen too. I just wonder why I got the loss and he didn't if both of our screens are frozen. Am I supposed to leave the game open all night and hope that he closes his game first?

                  So yeah, my team is now 2-3. two of those losses were because of freezes and I was winning in both games. Just a frustrating waste of time.

                    So now as of late the online experience has gotten worse. Now I'm getting frozen games and given the lost and some lag too. Will they ever get this right? I wonder when the show will be on the level of the other sports games online?

                        It was very smooth when I played you, but lately some games have froze on me.. Also, I have trouble playing with friends that live near me.

                          Ranked games and private games have been really great.

                          Online franchise and DD this past week though.....it has crumbled fast. The first week was amazing. Since MLB opening day though I have had constant freezes, lagging, glitches galore.

                          I hope it get's resolved. This is league wide too (Online Franchise). I gotta believe they will work out the kinks here and drop a solid patch.

                            2 online franchise games and a ranked without issue, think some issues are with user connections

                              Very well maybe right.

                              I just played a franchise game this morning and it was glorious. May very well be user connections.

                                I started out perfect with no problems and now this is happening and I'm getting the same things from some of my friends. It's definitely not the user connections. I'm sure a patch will fix it.
