[Zonekeeper]

I must agree, playing online is the only way to play for me.

Online has been a mess every single year. SCEA just can't get it right. I agree, either scrap it or fix it

I play mostly online in leagues and enjoy the game when it works. But its the same old story every year waiting for patches to improve freezes, bugs, and server issues. What i hate the most is seeing repeated bugs continuing in the series.

I have a small group of friends that would love to do an online season/franchise/league but it's the same story every year. We get pumped, set it up and have our hopes crushed by bad online, glitches and bugs. If the online worked like other games I'd be on it all the time (currently have 21 days played on COD). Instead we all migrate to our own individual offline season after a few weeks and never touch the online again.

The interest is there, it's just a matter of hoping it works.

Online is pretty bad, but I don't think the answer is to scrap it. My biggest complaint is fielding synchronization. When batting I never have any idea where the ball is relative to the fielders. I'll see it zoom out into center field past an outfielder then a second later it's in the air headed toward second base on a throw I never saw from the fielder I just watched it go by. And I know based on some of the baserunning decisions I've seen people make that they aren't seeing on their screen what I saw on my screen. And don't even get me started on passed balls.

But no, the answer isn't to scrap it, the answer is to make it good.

The worrisome thing for me is that it seems like online play in the show has been lacking for a long time. Do they just not know how to fix it?

i only play online to play my friends.

baseball is too precise of a game (vs hockey, football, soccer, basketball) for there to be lag.
