MLB The Show 16 Servers Going Down in a Few Minutes For About 1 Hour

[Steve_OS]

SCEA has just announced they will be restarting the MLB The Show 16 servers in just a few more minutes. They are approximating an hour of downtime.

Let's hope the servers have improved dramatically after the update has completed. There have been complaints since launch and haven't been getting much better based off of feedback from Twitter and our community.

Nice picture choice

Better choice would have been Sandoval.

Only good news out of this is it sounds like we may get a compensation package like a pack or something based on Ramone Russell's latest Twitter replies. He said "were working on a package for everyone".

Here's to hoping that it does get cleaned up. It was crawling last night just going through the position tabs in the DD squad.

Ugh cut me out of a good DD game... I hope this works out well.

I'm hopeful that things will be better once this is all done. I more or less bought a PS4 for the show last summer and loved '15. Feel like I'm kinda done with it next year though unless SCEA gets this under control soon. Sucks because it's a terrific game.

Or the bottom of the 5th & 6th in the Giants/Dodgers game, which I enjoyed.

I had an enlightening conversation with Sony Parent Company Support: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ound-good.html

I didn't put it in the official post I made, but off the record she thought they had not installed enough infrastructure to handle the load. "rebooting the servers" will kick a lot of people off for the night as they'll give up trying to play or run out of time (kids having to go to bed for school). Server and code updates aren't going to fix the fact they may not have spent enough money to handle the player load period.

-------

Just noticed on the official forums they are closing nearly all the server performance issue threads. It's odd there's not even a tech support sub-forum there. So if they don't talk to official Sony tech, and there's no bug report option on their forum, how are they supposed to be notified of problems?

Yes, i'm not having issues at the moment. Just completed a DD game. Everything is loading quickly.

I'll test this out as soon as the Giants & Dodgers game finishes.
