loving the game so far offline as usual. Here is a video I made from my 1st game in season mode.

I will be around all week for any games online to test out the servers but I'm not holding my breath

Any word on how online play is holding up on Day 1? Same issues, different issues or is it a good experience?

Played two games so far, one against Corey, and one against another random player and had no issues at all. No lag.

I had two very smooth games and one that had a few hiccups but it seemed like it was on the other guys end, the rest after that were smooth as well

If online was free of lag Day 1....easily can win GOTY. I crashed early last night but what little I did play, I'm easily going to play more '15 than I did of '14 based on loading times alone.

Still waiting on my Amazon copy to come in.

I want to join the HHL again with the Royals, but I'm coaching baseball right now, plus my football season is still going so I've got absolutely no time for a league

Most people on that other site have been reporting good experiences online, although many have reported some kind of issue with freezing.

Me and Garrett just played 2 online games. Silky, silky smooth. Nice to finally enjoy an online matchup.

Online Franchises are a viable option now !

I played my first online game Saturday - random game - it wasn't bad or anything, but it wasn't like playing offline ... then it crashed in the 5th inning and it was over.
My opponent was up 6-1, I get a hit and the game crashes.
Does this game actually have online lobbies?
Frankly, I'd prefer to play PSN friends than random.

I've only played two games so far (the introduction game and Royals/Jays), and I couldn't figure out the baserunning. I hit probably four or five doubles, but the guy would just hang out at first. Good thing I wasn't streaming, or you would've seen a nice little hissy fit hahaha.

RTTS is like a time vacuum. I have days I'm afraid to play it because there are other things I need to get done that day.

I think I have 7 online games under my belt and all but one was buttery smooth :fap2:

I haven't played the game yet but I remember back in the MM days people complaining about how convoluted the running controls were. How can a game like RBI have such simple running controls and a game like this be so difficult?

They really aren't very difficult, but I guess when you pick up and play it's not very self explanatory, even though they added the joystick to the baserunning graphic. They made it so you flick the joystick towards the runner you want and hit the corresponding base, you could tell 3 runners to go to 3 separate bases fairly easily and quickly. They also have L1 for advance all runners and R1 to send all runners back.

Ex. You hit a ball to the hole in deep left center, flick the left stick to the right where your runner would be approaching first base, and hit square. He will round 1st and 2nd and run to 3rd.
