I'm going to be gone all day tommorrow and into midday sunday. With PSN down I won't be able to get any more games in tonight.
I also think online is similar to last year where there is less lag in night games versus day games. I recommend all league games to be played at night so it is a better online experience for everyone.
PSN is down? Damn. I was about to try for a game of MLB 09. Anyways, on the whole issue of lag. This might just be the insanity but when I enabled Music Mode in the audio/video settings during a game, I could swear my game got a little less laggy. I' also think that the lag isn't due to internet latency but rather differences in loading of the game between people. Every time I have a pause because of lag during a game, my system disc makes a noise like a file is being read. Sounds stupid, I know. Anyways, only downside to turning on music mode is that there is no commentary. You just hear your background music being played through the stadium's p.a. system and the actual sound effects from the game. Also, crowd noise is gone. It makes playing weird because you don't hear the counts and what-not.
Edit: I'm on PSN, it's fine. Online ID is Runner45 - send an invite if you want a game.
Edit: Can't get into the online, damn PSN.
