MLB 12: The Show

[GangstaE]

How is the gameplay hitting timing online? is it more balanced this year with the hitting?

 

[godspeed]

That;s the problem. They can't deliver a consistent online experience even after 4 years of building the game. NHL and FIFA are both super smooth. The only time I run into issues is playing some guy in FIFA who is in some shitty costa rican internet.

Baseball has to be the toughest sports game to translate into an online game experience.

The timing on pitching and batting are so fast and so vital to the core of the game.

what... MLB The Show 07 was the first one... 5 years... asshole... the game is good, VERY few problems, and you gotta think most people complaining about lag are cheap ass mfers living in their grandmas basement stealing WiFi off the nearest McDonalds or Starbucks. the guys here, the same guys who are so critical of Madden are here praising this game... think about it cuz you said this was the best next gen Madden you have played.

To me, the timing is fine but take that with a grain of salt because I was a pure analog hitter on '11 so hitting with I'm using square, X, and circle for the first time since '10. I haven't had any issues yet - except that I really suck at picking up on pitch location with the left stick. I still haven't seen a home run or given up an earned run in 2 online "play now" matches.

I won't get to play any more until tomorrow but I do have to say that I'm glad I bought the game. It looks great and the pulse pitching is nice.

Someone said it earlier. That the latency online is "workable". Why the fuck at this day and age should something be workable. They should be able to make a it smooth as shit. The show PS2 online was fine, as was the NCAA baseball game if I recall. And yes OOBL this years madden was the best one yet but it doesnt mean too much when the previous iterations were shit.

The ball doesn't come off the bat the same to me, also it seems like I'm always late on the pitch even when I see the ball fine. I was reading that SCEA can put out a tuner that can adjust this issue, and that they did it last year with 11 after a few weeks of everyone hitting under .150.

It didnt work.

This game doesnt play like 2010, but its not quite as bad as 2011.

The fielding gets worse every year. Last year the players felt like they were in quicksand, this year its even worse.

2010 is long gone. Sigh.

I still have my copy if you want it. :shifty:

I tried to start up the Diamond Dynasty thingy last nite..........seriously either i am dumb as rocks or wtf is this mode?

just a more involved madden ult team..play around with it a little..i still have no clue what to do with cards or how to spend the points..but you know i like creating my own uniform..the editor is complex too,but i figured out a couple things..i still want a better hat logo though LOL..but they did it so you can completely change the team name and uni any time you want...if someone can tell me how to get borders around letters,that would be nice.....

 

[ram29jackson]

i did notice...after an online game of Diamond Dyn-head to head....i looked at a slow mo replay of one of my hits..and when you purposely slow it down to watch, the ball would actually stop over the plate before my player swung and hit it...i dont know what that may mean?

 

[Townie33]

Still haven't had any lag issues yet. Everything has been silky smooth. Am loving new animations. BUT had TWO runners thrown out at first by Bobby Abreau on what should have been singles to right. Unheard of! And one of thes runners was thrown out as he went into his rounding first animation.

Yeah, if you're going to complain about lag, I want to know what your internet connection is. Down/up speeds, ISP, hardline or wireless. Gimme the details so I know what I'm looking at. Don't come at me with your Compuserve dial-up connection from southern Missouri and then tell me that the game sucks.

I have 25/25 FIOS and am hardwired into the fuckin router. :cano:

I wonder about input lag on these LED tvs. I was always late on the meter when pitching....I am going to try it on game mode. I know it helped with NBA 2K with the analog shooting.

something is causing u to have lag. i rarely see lag in my games. and its usually only when i play someone on the west coast. even playing killgod in canada is smooth for me

I need to figure out the best way to set up my router. My game against Pete wasn't bad but I bet I could get it better.

Is there a way to check the speed and what should it be?

You can check your speed of your service at www.speedtest.net

You just want to put your PS3 in the DMZ on your router, that's the easiest way to go about it.

look, all my games..madden, ncaa, hockey, are a teensy bit slow on line but they play fine...online pitching/hitting in this game isnt that good no matter how you slice it.

download is 27.92 to 31 mbps

upload is 3.16 mbps how is that?
