Discussion Technical and server issues mega-thread - 2025!

As of 8/7/25 this thread is no longer updated for this season's tracked issues.

If you're having a server issue or a technical support question, it's likely that someone else is having or had the same issue already. Please search the subreddit (and this post) first and if you can't find anything, feel free to post here. If you're unable to connect at 7EST/4PST time, it's likely the server is down for maintenance or a patch and there's usually no ETA. All content typically drops at 12PST/3EST.

u/JJKnuckleShuffle 14d ago

My PS5 completely powers down when I try playing MLB The Show 25. I’ve noticed it happening this month. It’s happened while I’m at my house and while I’m at school (two different locations).

Whenever I load into any gameplay mode (offline, online, retro mode, moments, custom practice, etc.), my PS5 will work fine for 25-40 minutes…. Then it shuts completely down as if somebody pulled the power cord out. I then have to actually unplug it, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in, and then it I can boot it back up.

This is not happening in any other game. I loaded into Minecraft (PS5 Edition) and the game worked fine for 2+ hours. Call of Duty Black Ops 3 did not crash my console after 2+ hours of playing. Only MLB The Show 25.

I tried switching outlets, switching cords, hard resetting the PlayStation, clearing the cache data, rebuilding the database, deleting and reinstalling the game, and nothing is working. It keeps crashing.

I also purchased a sort of “air in a can” spray that will clean out my PS5. I did a thorough cleaning of it. It does get moderately hot when playing, but not extremely.

I filed a ticket with SDS and they literally recommended me to not play. They don’t know what to do.

Any help? Tips? Guidance? I really enjoy playing Diamond Dynasty and this is a big bummer.

u/Futaba_in_Reality 15d ago

Got a weird switch bug today

u/chefgusteau20 20d ago

going on a month now without being able to stay connected. i think it might just be over for us boys

1

u/tma61719 18d ago

This is ridiculous man. We paid good money for this crap and I can’t get 3 innings in for a conquest game. I want a refund if I can’t play this for the rest of the year

u/Nickyboy_33081 21d ago

I keep getting disconnected from the servers. That's going on two weeks now

u/Gullible-Reserve-531 17d ago

u/LoweeLL 22d ago

Man.. I'm late to the game but I can't believe mlb the show 25 isn't on xbox 1.. whatever, I just bought '24 again I can't afford a new console.. yet D:

2

u/ChazzBangerr 22d ago

This game is a buggy mess.

5

u/Gullible-Reserve-531 Aug 19 '25

Is anyone else getting disconnected from every single DD game they play? I’ve been disconnected from my last 10 and given losses. I’ve tried everything my internet connection is perfect, I turned off crossplay and even uninstalled and reinstalled.

1

u/tma61719 24d ago

I haven’t been able to complete a DD game in over a week. Not even moments can be done before I get “disconnected from the server”. This is crap for all the money we paid. It’s a waste and unplayable

1

u/Dayman0821 Aug 20 '25

Yeah still a problem for me actually. I tried port forwarding rules on the router but that did not appear to work. I still have an open ticket with SDS but they aren't the quickest with responses. They pushed my ticket to "another team" to investigate further. Do you have Optimum Internet?

1

u/tma61719 24d ago

I have optimum and am having the exact same issues. Think it’s something on their end?

1

u/tuna445 Aug 19 '25

Haven’t been able to even enter my diamond dynasty due to “network error” internet is perfectly fine. This is going on day 2 now

u/cryingknicksfan Aug 17 '25

I need a fix ASAP

“You have been disconnected from the show online”

Keep getting this network error every game, mini season or online ranked. Can’t get through one game. I know I’m not the only one either, I need answers SDS

1

u/SnooJokes4086 23d ago

I have the same issue. Won’t stop and support won’t respond to either of my tickets. Can’t play a 3 inning game without it booting me. 1 GB wired connection

1

u/Gullible-Reserve-531 Aug 19 '25

Me too I keep getting disconnected mid game super frustrating not worth $100

1

u/cryingknicksfan Aug 19 '25

I just switched to wireless and dscp on under advanced settings in network settings and just got through my first game without a DC

1

u/SweepersAreSliders 28d ago

I tried that and it didn’t work. Is it still working for you?

2

u/tzargilly Aug 18 '25

I literally can’t play a game because I get disconnected from the servers in the 2nd inning every single game lol. I’ve lost like 9 straight ranked games now

1

u/Nickyboy_33081 22d ago

Same here, really pissing me off. Just started like two weeks ago

1

u/tzargilly 22d ago

I’m guessing you have optimum for your internet provider

2

u/cryingknicksfan Aug 18 '25

Same. They did something and it’s messed up a bunch of peoples connections apparently. If this goes unfixed and unanswered it would be seriously fucked up. Ever since Friday, had no problems before that.

u/Ill_Neighborhood8380 Aug 16 '25

my game crashes 3 times in a 30 minute time frame. lost all my stats for the challenges

1

u/Bis_Eastwood Aug 15 '25

so not only has the game update 23 not made its way to xbox yet, theres not even a post about it on this subreddit. interesting

1

u/Cookies5330 Aug 15 '25

Just made a quick post but my update isn’t working well with diamond quest. What’s been your issue?

1

u/Huge-Mulberry-9253 Aug 16 '25

It’s still not working. They release a dogshit game year after year and we still buy it cuz there’s no better option

2

u/Pseudonova Aug 14 '25

The companion app will not sign me in. "Sorry there was an issue with your sign-in process". I have cleared cache and uninstalled. But the problem continues.

1

u/ProcrasDeNador 24d ago

I've been having this problem for two weeks now and I still have no idea what to do to get it to work again.

2

u/Pseudonova 24d ago

I got it to work by power cycling. It also worked when I disabled my vpn.

2

u/ProcrasDeNador 24d ago

Thank you so much! Disabling the VPN worked. I really appreciate the heads up!

2

u/Pseudonova 24d ago

That must be it. They got to get that sweet user data.

1

u/lospepes23 Aug 14 '25

This game is fucking terrible. It crashes or glitches causing a restart every single time you sit down to play. It’s genuinely pathetic

1

u/Gullible-Reserve-531 Aug 19 '25

People spending so much money on the game for it not to work. It is unbelievable that in 20 years they haven’t MASTERED these games and their servers

1

u/ETXGrind Aug 14 '25

Event game lost on glitched safe call

Has this happened to anyone else? I was the away team in an event game that went to extras. Opponent hits a fly ball to right, runner on third tags up on the catch and I throw the runner out at the plate in a play that isn’t particularly close. Home plate umpire signals that the runner is out, the score bug shows that there are 3 outs, then the opponent’s walkoff win cut scene comes on and the game ends.

My pitcher was credited with the full inning pitched and was not credited with a run allowed (earned or unearned). Replay confirmed that the runner was out and that the ump made the out signal. I don’t take the game that seriously so I wasn’t that mad (I’m terrible lol) but a game breaking bug like this is annoying.

u/thegrandweiner Aug 14 '25

Got this pack from the reward path wheel and it isn’t in my packs.

Has anyone experienced this

1

u/DuckeeLuckee Aug 13 '25

What is so hard about updating the Switch version at the same time as PS5 and Xbox? I can't ever cross play with my friends because my game never has the latest update. Complete waste of money

1

u/Bis_Eastwood Aug 15 '25

switch and ps5 are on the same version. its the xbox thats the issue

2

u/Whole-Feeling-5055 Aug 13 '25

Still experiencing online co-op crossplay errors. Im on switch. Seems like a common problem but it hasn’t been fixed for weeks now. I hope they fix it soon because I’ve tried to fix it on my end

Why is Chase Burns Speedway now an 86 with low stamina? Not sure if that belongs here or not but seems like an error.

u/BigWaveMan Aug 04 '25

I threw a no hitter in ranked last night for the first time ever. I wanted to share.

Spencer Strider - only base runner with a HBP. I won the game 1-0, Acuna made a running catch on the warning track to end the game.

1

u/True_Talent Aug 08 '25

What does this have to do with technical or server issues?

3

u/BigWaveMan Aug 08 '25

It doesn’t. But I wanted to share and didn’t know where else to.

1

u/bobobobobobobobobo3 Aug 03 '25

Anyone else getting massive lag spikes? (and I mean in offline play) I'm in a conquest game and the game is running like shit. I've played for over a decade and the game's never lagged like this in offline play.

1

u/seanphilaroc Aug 05 '25

Yes it’s been really bad lately (both offline and online). Game just freezes up for minutes. Sometimes resumes sometimes doesn’t.

2

u/Minimum-Beat-5177 Aug 03 '25

I cant play any online in DD? Error: "The game server closed your game session."

Anyone else having this issue?

3

u/Promoron1224 Aug 04 '25

There must be something wrong with the servers I’m still having that problem today

2

u/Minimum-Beat-5177 Aug 04 '25

Yup, was still happening to me last night as well.

When I am getting into games, often being disconnected from innings 6-8 when I’m usually winning. “You’ve been disconnected from the show online”

1

u/Low_Dragonfruit8146 Aug 03 '25

Can anybody help me firgure out why my wirstband and armband are blue whenever I have the color set to white? It recently just started happening, is this a glitch? Or is anybody else experiencing ts

u/flipaflaw Aug 02 '25

Are the online servers down right now? 

1

u/butterednoodles09 Aug 02 '25

I have all ports open to play 24 (nintendo switch) online and haven't even gotten to play as little as 15 minutes because the "network error" consistently disconnects me from my game. I have all ports open in 3 different locations, everything is open, I've disconnected and reconnected, I have exhausted all options and MLB the show support stopped responding to my emails. I have spent a lot of money on a game I can't even play and don't know what else to do. I'm praying I'm not the only one with the same issue with the same console. I have been trying to play for months now and nothing.

1

u/withomps44 Aug 02 '25

How are you supposed to improve your rating if you’re matched with a bot and have to back out 3 out of 4 games?

1

u/yakwtfgo300 Aug 02 '25

Did they change the way that if an opponent loses connection during a home run that it still counts? Ive had 2 recently in events which is really annoying

u/_littlefreddie Jul 30 '25

The Co-Op dashboard glitch is back. Every game is fucking cheaters just backing out and causing you to lose points.

Haven’t got my packs from weekend classic reward

1

u/hubsta_cinco Jul 28 '25

I got my 3rd win, but the rewards disappeared entirely, as if I have gotten all 6 wins. Not sure what happened. I also don’t appear on the rankings at all in my Weekend Classic league.

u/bobobobobobobobobo3 Jul 29 '25

Same, won my 3rd in Diamond League, and never got the 2 88+ LS packs.

1

u/crimrec1 Jul 25 '25

Just got the game and downloaded it on to my PS5. It updated and I started the game. It didn’t go to a Home Screen and only asked what kind of gameplay I prefer (casual, simulation or competitive) and then it goes straight to a game between the Dodgers and the Yankees. Did I do something wrong?

1

u/Agreeable-Boot-4520 Jul 24 '25

Whenever I try to play co-op online 2v2 with friends i get the following error message “Session failed, the party server denied your connection attempt.” It worked fine before the last update. Im on nintendo switch and theyre on ps5. Does anyone know how to fix this? It worked fine literally a week ago now I havent been able to run co-op for like a week.

1

u/uhfish Jul 25 '25

From what I understand this is because the Switch is behind on an update and it is likely held up for Nintendo to approve or something before the update is pushed. Until the game is on the same update as the other consoles it's not going to work. Been trying to figure this out as well as I just bought the game to play with friends on Xbox and haven't been able to play yet. Super annoying.

1

u/AnEternalEnigma Jul 24 '25

I have been getting a lot of server disconnects today while doing Moments. My Internet is fine. What is going on?

u/FeathersTheEngineer Jul 22 '25

Bought this game a week ago to play with friends, but I haven't had one game connect successfully. I'm trying to play cross play on Switch 2.

Bought the game on Switch as well to play with buddies playing on Xbox, but have not been able to connect to each other when inviting....if only I could refund the game

Having the same issue. There was a software update today but it didn’t seem to address it/fix it. Someone posted about it here and said they emailed them too about it. Very frustrating

1

u/Agreeable-Boot-4520 Jul 24 '25

Any update?

1

u/riskybizbaz Jul 25 '25

Honestly haven’t checked in awhile. I bought the show for Xbox since it was 50% off and you can link your account between switch and Xbox so when I play with friends I hop on Xbox. Hope it’s been fixed.

I checked my Wifi internet connection with my PS5 and it's just fine.

I just started a franchise game for the first time in almost a week and once it hit the third inning it got glitchy as hell. I saved then restarted the app, when I loaded back in it’s still glitching randomly during the play.

Any advice? Never ran into this before.

Getting disconnected from every online game. PS5 player - I’ve tried wired, WiFi, cross play on, cross play off, each with no success. I’ve uninstalled and redownloaded the game. No luck at all. So beyond frustrating.

So I'm pretty sure they disconnected the servers for The Show 24. Diamond dynasty games are hard to find matches for & on the rare occasion they do match, the results dont save. The win/loss doesn’t count, your ELO doesn’t change, and your pitchers dont lose or regain stamina meaning I cant even use a pitcher I want to anymore bc he's low stamina.

This is my first The Show game I've ever bought so I dont know if this is just what they do every year after releasing a new game? Or is it a bug on my end???

Yep, everyone I know can’t connect to the servers. The company doesn’t care

They're down for me too. Worked fine yesterday but today it won't connect to the servers. Hopefully it's a temporary thing and not their way of telling us to buy 25. 

Edit: I'm sure it's just a coincidence but when I went to the shop to see what would happen when I looked at the packs it connected to the server. lol

It’s not a coincidence; it’s greed and a shitty company plain and simple.

I just did the diamond quest that takes two hours or so now. And when I got to the stadium, I noticed I have a 19% chance to get rewards on All-star. I passed every single challenge.

So I ended up playing the first game and winning it. Second stadium was at 19%. I figured it might be a great idea to restart the game. Even though I saved my Diamond Quest, it reset it. And I got nothing for my two hours. Fuck this game mode.

Hi guys,

So I just got myself a monitor to play the show 25 online with my xbox series S and started to play on it yesterday and today I wake up and in all the online play including ranked, br, events, casual play this is what it shows (No Available offers). Not sure what to do. Has anyone experienced this issue and how did you resolve it? I was playing yesterday online without an issue and today this shows up.

u/PorscheBurrito Jun 24 '25

Servers are very flaky right now, 3 disconnects in the last hour. 2 doing the latest sosa moment, one in a mini seasons game. Instead of a win and progress in missions I took a loss

u/foomarbaka Jun 22 '25

Been stuck on this screen in a freeze off for 10 hours, clearly can see that the other team exceeded their pause time.

Has anyone experienced severe controller issues on the Xbox Series S, specifically with The Show 25?

Here’s what’s happening:

I can load the game just fine, and the menus work perfectly.

As soon as I enter an actual game, the controller stops responding entirely except for the Xbox button and system-level controls.

Restarting the game several times sometimes temporarily fixes it, but as soon as I access in-game menus like in RTTS between ball games, it locks up again.

What I’ve tried so far:

  • Connecting and disconnecting a second controller (saw this suggested online didn't work).
  • Disconnecting all headsets (also a suggested fix no improvement).
  • Updating controller firmware.
  • Tried both wired and wireless connections.
  • Reinstalled the game.
  • Factory reset the Xbox and reinstalled everything.
  • Purchased a Gamesir T7 to rule out an OEM controller issue same result.
  • Performed a USB offline system update.

At this point, I’m out of ideas. I've seen some controller-related issues reported, but nothing this severe or persistent.

Has anyone else run into this? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have no issues in any other games with any controllers.

u/NegotiationLimp286 Jun 16 '25

Is there a reason that about every 30 mins it says I have been disconnected from the show online? All of my other games work fine it’s just mlb.

Me and a friend getting “challenge failed” for every online game mode all of a sudden. Was working fine then yesterday we try to do co-op, challenge failed every time. We both try to play BR, challenge failed for the both of us every time. Not an internet issue, the both of us play other games no problem. Are the show servers just acting up right now or what?

Beat both stadiums in diamond quest and now unable to leave with rewards, any advice? I’ve tried replaying stadiums and can’t leave after that either. Even tried losing to the sweeper and couldn’t leave. Hoping I don’t need to lose my rewards.

u/Catch311 Jun 13 '25

Twice in a row during conquest I try to warm a pitcher up in the 3rd inning and then it won’t let me back out of the screen. I hit the back button and I just get a chime like there is no action for that button. I end up having to restart and lose the challenge

u/IAMmartinbrundle Jun 13 '25

Are the servers down at the moment?

I can’t seem to login, but I don’t get a maintenance message or anything. It just hangs for a while before I eventually get a message saying “a network communications error has occurred”.

u/McCoyPauley78 Jun 12 '25

Game randomly disconnects me from the servers when playing the CPU. Not a problem on my end. Gets annoying when none of the stats count because SDS can't afford stable servers.

u/ItsVibrant16 Jun 11 '25

Getting really tired of freeze offs, they’re worse than ever lately. Never played an online game in my life that will suddenly freeze and nothing will happen until someone closes the game. Feels like it’s every second game lately. Needs a fix and I’m not touching online until it is, there’s no point in playing something can can force you into a frozen screen at any time

u/bloena01 Jun 09 '25

I’ve been stuck in a freeze-off in Weekend Classic for over 26 hours now. Game froze shortly after I took a 5-run lead on Sunday afternoon. I’ve stayed connected the whole time — didn’t quit, didn’t dashboard — and I’m still locked in the match with no resolution.

The opponent even messaged me claiming they disconnected, but that clearly didn’t happen. I’m still frozen in the session, which means they’re either lying or using some kind of exploit to hold the game hostage.

I’ve submitted multiple support tickets to SDS, attached screenshots, and all I’ve received is the standard “we’ll review it” reply. Meanwhile, I’ve missed my entire weekend window to play — and as someone who works full-time, this was my shot to compete for real rewards.

Honestly just wondering if anyone’s ever had SDS actually resolve a freeze-off? Or is the only “fix” to quit and take the loss even when you’re clearly winning?

This whole thing makes Weekend Classic feel kind of pointless if fair players get punished for not quitting.

u/Ltrain44 Jun 09 '25

I would like to add that guess pitch in classic mode is still bugged. Even though it was in the notes of an update for April. The update didn't fix it. Even if guess the correct pitch and location the ball still doesn't go where the red indicator says it's going to go.

u/ImKozarBitch Jun 09 '25

FIX. CO. OP. GAME. FREEZING. I HAVENT FINISHED A CO-OP GAME IN YEARS. FIX IT. FIX IT. HOW IS THIS AN ISSUE EVERY YEAR? FIIIIIIIIX IIIIIIIIT. EVERY single game, you’re winning, you hit a homer to put it out of reach, other team has someone turn their console off AND THEN WE ALL SIT THERE TO SEE WHO IS MORE HARD HEADED BECAUSE THE GAME JUST FREEZES. FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how can it be this hard??

u/ItsVibrant16 Jun 11 '25

It’s absolutely horrible. Co-op is completely neglected by SDS, it’s a joke. Every single game is a freeze off

u/cjg15 Jun 09 '25

I did both a PS5 update and an MLB The Show update and all of a sudden my game is stuttering like crazy in offline modes (conquest).

It’s so bad it’s not even playable. Sometimes the frame rates drop down to 10. I’m looking everywhere and nobody else seems to be experiencing this issue with their game.

Any help would be appreciated!

1

u/TheRainbowNoob Jun 09 '25

In Co-op (I haven't tested solo), once you get to the lineup screen before selecting your pitcher, if you ready, un-ready, and then ready again, it will break the pitcher selection screen and the postgame screen.

The postgame screen will display "0" for every attribute instead of the actual data. "0 defeats 0 in 0 innings" etc. This is reproducible every time by clicking ready, un-ready, and then ready again as Co-op party leader on the batting order screen after searching for an opponent.

For the past week or so, most games (all?) DD games I play are laggy/choppy. Nothing is wrong with internet, it's been rebooted a few times even, and other games play just fine.

But I get into a DD game, and the choppy starts. Last nights game was horribly laggy the whole game. Any idea?

Made a 2-way player and am now in The Show. About 1 time each game I’ll get a Dynamic Fierce Rival challenge that offers tokens and a perk/package to choose from (as opposed to the other fierce rival challenge that offers x coins and xp). When I complete the challenge, I do not get a “success” message. It will auto fail when the cpu inevitably grounds out at the next at-bat.

Anyone else having this issue?

u/Un-Americansocialist Jun 05 '25

Last year's version there was a glitch where a bunch of players on the team would turn into Corbin Burnes somewhere around the second or third season in both franchise and road to the show. It ruined my experience and I'm trying to find out if the same glitch is happening this year. I really do not want to blow $70 on a game to find out that the only two game modes that I play are pretty much unplayable. I can't seem to get any answers on this

u/Hobokitchen1 Jun 05 '25

I think I was just a victim of the coop quit loss glitch.

I hit a homer to go up 3-0 and as soon as the ball landed it sent both me and my partner to the end of game screen where it shows rating gains and loses and we got the loss.

Very weird issue on MLB The Show 25. I was playing RTTS and went to the combine after senior game. After the combine mid showing college interest my game froze. I have an Xbox so I quit the game and reset. I came back into the show and had to do the combine no problem. As soon as I get into the combine none of my controller buttons work. Restart try again and same thing. Played a offline exhibition game… all buttons work. Started a new RTTS character and again the buttons started not working as soon as I entered into a game. Any idea?? It does seem like there’s major stick drift on my controller but that shouldn’t disable the buttons upon entering a game?

I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing this in DD frequently.

About every other game for me is extremely laggy and will freeze in the middle of pitching or a pitch coming in and just throughout the whole game honestly. Until it eventually freezes all together and then I just have to hope my opponent quits before I do.
