MLB 12 The Show - Online Impressions

I know we have an online forum, but with the previous issues in the MLB games, a thread devoted to your online experiences is warranted for now.

Same as the other impressions threads - Only impressions, please.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Online Impressions

Just had a game against Ramone. I live in Baltimore, he's playing in San Diego. I was on wireless (forgot to switch over).

Orioles win it 3-2 over Ramone's Rays, on a last second play at the plate by Nick Markakis. Luke Scott hit a line drive to right, and pinch runner Sam Fuld decided to try out a Gold Glover's cannon.

I must say - completely impressed at the lack of lag, especially considering I was on wireless. I had no issues batting (using Zone batting) or pitching (Pulse). We had no traffic delays, and if there was lag, it was not noticeable to me (someone who quit playing the game online a week in last year due to the intolerable batting lag).

Really interested to hear other's experiences.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Online Impressions

I've played one game so far and it was silky smooth. Only issue I had was the pulse pitching. Pitching on HOF was a BIG "B".

Very impressed with the lack of lag. Hopefully this keeps up!!!

Re: Millennium's post

Also played Ramone earlier and I too am on a wireless connection (Florida). So much better in comparison to last year - we had an exciting game through 6 innings (2-2 game) and I had the bases loaded with 1 out (IIRC), unfortunately the game disconnected due to heavy volume which is totally understandable on launch day.


I called it quits with Online play in MLB 11 pretty much right out of the gate (timing issue killed it) but I can definitely say that won't happen this year if it's going to play like it did earlier today.






Ready for Round 2, Ramone!

Why isn't there a "play now" mode for online?

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Online Impressions

Just played and it was no where near smooth. Bimmer and I just played. Well 2 innings worth before we had to quit.
Same things as before.. lag right during pitch, Full swings tiurning into check swings etc...

What sucks is for about 1/2 inning it played pretty good. Got hopes up.. lol

I'll try some more if anyone want to sometime...

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Online Impressions

I can't make a complete online comparison to last year since I only played one online game so far in MLB 12, but I do have some impressions.

∙ It did have some latency but not any lag - if that makes sense. In other words, I had to swing earlier than I would have in an offline game. This could have been his connection.

∙ Wish the anti aliasing could be used online but not a big deal

∙ I didn't have to mute the announcers ! Last year, before every online game, I had to mute the announcers, but since SCEA streamlined the front end menus this year, all settings are applied correctly.

∙ I didn't see any swing animation oddities like I used to in 11

I wanna try the HR derby online, but it seems you need to have a friend online for this ? I guess you can't challenge random people.
