Its nearly Impossible to complete an online game without getting an error booting you out of the game. SIX STRAIGHT ERRORS IN A ROW the last time I have tried to play. Before that if if you could complete a game there would always be something happening different than what the other player saw. In other words on my screen looked like the ball was thrown away while on the other players screen it wasnt and I would be "magicaly thrown out easily arriving at the extra base. Its pure BS This game should never have been released at all. Im renting from here on out. This game makes 2K MLB Games look like the pinnacle of online gaming. AGAIN SHAME ON SD STUDIOS FOR RELEASING THIS GARBAGE!

One part of the game is broken lets call the whole thing a piece of ****.

And pitchers never bunt especially when its a no brainer sacrifice situation

So the entire game is garbage because online connectivity is bad? Ya thats not an immature over the top reaction. As a lifelong 2k guy this game is a joy to play offline. Any tiny bit of lag would make this game difficult online.

When going online, does the netcode take ping into account when matching up players?

The best thing console games could start doing is letting you specify that you only want to play with other players in your region. Historically, when you play PC games you choose your server from a list and sort by ping. Invariably this leads you to play on relatively nearby servers.

Even the best netcode can't change the speed of light.

Online games in The Show is peer-to-peer once the game gets set up between you and your opponent, so choosing a server is irrelevant.

Matching algo taking into ping might cause other "fairness" issues as well. People complain about how messed up the matching/ranking algorithm is already, so when they learn some people only get to play those in geographical proximity, they'd complain about it incessantly.

No one has mentioned the fact that ground balls down the line are always singles because the outfielders get to them too fast. Doesn't matter if you make fielder speed 2, grounders down the line are always singles. And in real life, a grounder down the line is 99% of the time a double.

I used to think that as well but that's false. It is not always a single, if the player hitting has real good speed you can push it for a double.

I have reaction at 8 and speed at 1 if you're wondering.
