The problem has been extensively discussed on social media platforms and gaming forums. Players are sharing their frustrating disconnection experiences when playing online matches and losing their ranking points.

In some cases, they’re even getting temporarily banned due to repeated disconnections.

Other players also reported the game is unplayable due to connectivity issues that have been there for a long time during online events.

It’s been an issue for decades. I’m mad as hell about it too. It seems to happen most during peak hours on weekends. Also middle of night. It’s totally random and I can say they will never fix it completely.

The severity of the problem can be gauged from the fact that players are getting temporary bans for seven days due to these repeated disconnections.

This not only affects their gameplay but also their reputation within the community. The issue seems to have affected players across different platforms, including PlayStation and Xbox.

The root cause of this problem is unclear, but there can be one or more than one reasons that can result in this perpetual inconvenience.

The game’s developers, Sony San Diego, have not yet addressed the issue, so there is no ETA for a fix.

It is also important to note that such issues are not uncommon for online multiplayer games and are usually addressed with updates and patches over time.

So, we hope that the developers will address the issues with MLB The Show 23 freezing and disconnecting in online matches and release an update soon.
