MLB 14 The Show: The State of Online Post-Patch

[chitownwonder]

Online is what I play 90% of the time with the other 10 % going to offline when servers are down. This is the worse I've seen the show online , so many weird things happening while playing online makes this gm unplayable.

Was getting a PS4 because of this gm now I'm waiting to see how it plays online before I spend my hard earned money on a next gen system with old gen problems.

MVP 05 with Manny on the cover was awesome online as well. I really don't remember much lag at all and my connection was very minimal with like a 3 mb DL.

Online the past few years have been pretty good for me. I agree this years is awful, but I still don't get why people bash the previous years online modes. Less than 1 pct of my games would not finish in mlb 13.

I'm sorry, and this is just my opinion, but if anyone bought this game solely for online play, then the jokes on them and the "money wasted" is their problem. This franchise has never been rated the way it has been for the online play, but instead for the offline features.

Is it a shame the online couldn't be better? Absolutely as there's a lot of people who love playing online. BUT if you're buying this gme for just online...then I'm kind of at a loss for words. Each to their own though

It was fine last year so people assumed this year would be good as well. Right now the online part of the game is garbage.

no its not on us that bought for online really?? If a developer is unable to provide a quality experience then get rid of it all together let alone implementing modes for a mode that does not work

no kidding and shame on the rest of the community that would think the joke is on us for expecting a quality game online considering they implemented finally an online franchise and what do we get an experience that is by far the worse of the series. Instead they would rather rate a game 8/10 while releasing a mode that is completely broken

I was planning on picking up a PS4 with The Show but now Im waiting. I actually went back to playing 13 online. Sad.
