Alright, so you’re tellin’ me your MLB The Show 24 is laggin’ like a one-legged mule in a mud puddle? Yeah, I hear ya. Drives you crazier than a fly in a milk jug, ain’t it? Well, let’s see if we can sort this mess out. No fancy talk, just plain speakin’, got it?
First thing’s first, that there internet thingy of yours. It gotta be strong, like a good cup of coffee. If you’re skimpin’ on the internet bill, gettin’ the cheapest one they got, well, that’s probably your problem right there. They tell you it’s “unlimited,” but they don’t tell you it’s slower than molasses in January. So, check your internet speed. If it’s pokey, that’s your culprit.
Now, let’s talk about that game box, the Xbox, or whatever fancy thingamajig you’re usin’. Go into them settings, yeah, the general ones. Find the power options. You want that sleep mode thingy on. Why? ‘Cause it makes the machine work harder, like givin’ it a shot of espresso. Whether you got the old Xbox One or that newfangled Series X, sleep mode is your friend for gettin’ the best performance.
Another thing, your TV or monitor, whatever you’re lookin’ at. It’s got settings too, you know. Play around with them. Sometimes, messin’ with those settings can make things a little smoother, like butterin’ a pan before you fry an egg. People say somethin’ about 120hz, turnin’ that off might help. Worth a try, I reckon.
- Internet Speed: Gotta be fast, not slow like a turtle.
- Power Settings: Sleep mode, that’s the ticket.
- TV/Monitor Settings: Fiddle with ’em, might get lucky.
- Game Servers: Sometimes, it ain’t you, it’s them.
- Reinstall the Game: Like cleanin’ the slate, startin’ fresh.
Now, sometimes it ain’t your fault at all. Them game servers, they can be a pain in the neck too. If they’re havin’ a bad day, everybody’s gonna lag. So, check if other folks are complainin’. If they are, well, you just gotta wait it out, like waitin’ for the rain to stop.
And if nothin’ else works, try reinstallin’ the game. Yeah, delete it and put it back on. It’s like givin’ the whole thing a good scrubbin’. Sometimes that does the trick. Like washin’ your dirty clothes, makes everything fresh and new again.
Some folks sayin’ somethin’ about the old Xbox One havin’ trouble with the new game. Said the old one couldn’t hardly play the last game online neither. If you got that old box, well, maybe that’s just the way it is. Can’t expect an old horse to win the Kentucky Derby, can ya?
And one last thing, see if your game is showin’ you playin’ on the wrong Xbox, like it says you’re on the old one when you ain’t. That’s just weird, ain’t it? Seems like some folks are havin’ that problem. Maybe a bug, maybe somethin’ else. Who knows? These young folks and their fancy machines, always somethin’ goin’ wrong.
So there you have it. A few things to try. Ain’t no guarantees, but it’s a start. If none of this works, well, I don’t know what to tell ya. Maybe take a break, go outside, get some fresh air. Sometimes, that’s the best medicine. And who knows, maybe by the time you get back, the game will be workin’ just fine.
Remember, keep it simple. Don’t go messin’ with stuff you don’t understand. Just try these few things, and see if it helps. Good luck, and happy gaming, or whatever you young folks call it these days.
