I have only played guys from OS(which is my preference)

The games I've actually played have been great minus some lag while watching the other teams defense. Problem is server errors and disconnects. I'd say about 75% of the time I can't connect to anything online related (experience linked below). It's very frustrating considering this game is very playable online (for the first time in years).

Here's a typical experience for me:

I've had mostly good experiences, except for the fact that there's a certain glitch people seem to do to cause the game to desync, and then it becomes a game of chicken to see who will just get tired of waiting and close the game. Besides that, it's been pretty good.

So far no issues online. Only played about 10 games but so far so good

Yeah I'm having a lot of fun with it this year. Only issues have been the camera lag when the opponent is fielding and a few times I've hit homeruns where a runner just stays at first base.

Played like 45 DD games since Tuesday and the lag was real bad Saturday and Sunday and some auction house issues other then that perfect. I think they just got overloaded on the first weekend.

Easily one of the most active online guys here on OS and so far so good. Saturday had close to 6 straight disconnects and was sorted out later in the day, but other than that online has been great.

I've had the same lag issues as others, especially with infielders throwing to first (commentary will say he tagged the guy down the line but the throw is clearly going there) and teleporting outfielders. The lag on almost every opponent swing is annoying too but I don't think its affected my ability to field.

My question about online play is if there's code in the game to balance out matchmaking errors with events in-game. I ask because I was going along pretty well against an opponent ranked lower than me, then suddenly Ian Kinsler can't field a routine grounder and every pitch I throw gets lined into the gap. Guy beat me in 10 innings on a BS wild pitch from a fresh reliever throwing a near-perfect pitch in the zone. Insanely frustrating.
