Anyone else experiencing this? It's been three days now and I can not play DD or head to head online. The game will tell me an opponent has been found, then challenge failed shortly after.

Mine does this every single time I try and play, but I just keep looking for match and it eventually finds me one.

Sometimes it won't fail at all, sometimes it fails 10+ times, but I always eventually get a match.

Yes you just gotta keep trying. San Diego studio doesn't care about their servers

Finally got in and glitched after a hit and run. FML. These server issues are WAY too common. It doesn't matter what the game is or when it releases.

Yeah here's the list of issues I've compiled from online play.

1. Challenge failed (I believe due to differences in NAT type)
2. Hit and run bug that glitches until someone quits
3. Opponents hitting pause at the same time glitches until someone quits
4. Batter calling for time at the same moment the pitcher begins his pitch glitches until someone quits
5. Extremely long load times in diamond dynasty menus during peak hours from 5pm to 12am
6. Online franchise won't process rosters or activate franchise during peak hours

There's more that I've read about but have yet to encounter as well

I have literally encountered zero bugs with online play.

Granted, I've probably only played 20 or so matches.

You've gotten lucky. I've played 45-50 and 90% finish fine but the 10% where I've encountered a bug and had to try and wait the other player out for the win have been miserable.

On release, I had no issues. It wasn't until I began drawing tougher match ups and playing DD that I started having issues.

New bug I'm encountering is losses are being recorded when I won. I just beat a guy 9-2 and it says I lost.

I haven't been able to play a DD game since release day because of this. I see now where some are saying to keep on trying and eventually it will work, I don't have the patience for that though. I've just been playing RTTS and franchise instead.

The menu in DD also is very slow and laggy for me.

Activated an online franchise and it took so long I thought it had failed. I got on the next day to see that it had finally assigned drafted players to rosters. That's just ridiculous.

Yeah it's an abortion of a game mode

I gave up. Playing fire watch now. Guess it's too late for a refund

Once the initial surge of demand died down it'll be normal and accessible so just wait it out until then

Wasn't able to connect to the show online so I started my first RTTS. 6'10" lefty with Syndergaard's mold and Bum's delivery. Straight filth
