By default, this setting is set to Small.

How to fix ‘server could not be accessed at this time’ error for MLB The Show 23

by

When playing MLB The Show 23 on your PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S or Nintendo Switch console, you may encounter the following error message:

  • “The server could not be accessed at this time. Connect online to access live content, cross platform play, and more!”

To see how you can fix the connection issues with this baseball game, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, we recommend taking a look at the social media channels for the game, including the official Twitter account. There is a possibility that the game may be currently suffering from some downtime.

If part, or all, of the servers aren’t working normally, then you need to wait until the issues get fixed on the other end before trying to play MLB The Show 23 again.

2. If the servers appear to be fine, then there could be something wrong with your internet connection. If you think this is the case, then you can try using other devices online to see if these are experiencing issues as well.

If your internet appears to be down, then you can try power cycling your modem and routers by turning them off, waiting for a few minutes and then turning them back on again. If this procedure does not work, then we recommend contacting your internet service provider for additional help.

3. If both the MLB The Show 23 and your home network appear to be fine, then you can try checking the internet connection on your game console.

If possible, we suggest playing this baseball game online using a wired connection as it should be faster and more stable when compared to Wi-Fi.

Furthermore, you should also avoid downloading and streaming at the same time when you are playing online. By doing so, you should free up extra bandwidth that should help prevent disconnections.

4. If you haven’t done so already, you should make sure that you have the latest patch downloaded and installed for MLB The Show 23.

5. You should also make sure that you have the latest system software update installed for your PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S or Nintendo Switch.

These updates may help when it comes to fixing the “server could not be accessed at this time.”

How to fix MLB The Show 23 network error issues

by

When playing MLB The Show 23, you may end up getting the following error message:

  • “NETWORK ERROR. Your connection to The Show Online has been lost.”

To see how you can prevent these disconnection issues, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, we recommend checking to see if the MLB The Show 23 servers are working normally. If there is an issue, then it should usually be communicated through the official MLB The Show 23 Twitter account.

In these cases, you simply have to wait until the servers are functioning properly again if you want to prevent these network errors.

2. If the servers are working just fine but you are still getting disconnected, then you can try looking at how the internet is set up on your console.

If possible, we recommend using a wired internet connection for MLB The Show 23 as it is faster and more stable when compared to Wi-Fi, especially on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X consoles.

If you are limited only to Wi-Fi, then you can try moving your gaming system closer to the Wi-Fi access point. You should also make sure that there aren’t any physical objects and/or other wireless devices that may be weakening the signal.

3. If you are downloading or streaming at the same time you are playing the 2023 version of MLB The Show, then these actions may be causing the disconnections.

Therefore, you can try pausing or stopping the downloads/streams in order to free up more bandwidth.

4. You can also try power cycling your internet connection by doing the following:

  • Start by turning off your game console.
  • Next, you need to turn off and/or unplug the modem and routers on your home network.
  • Wait for several minutes.
  • Once you waited long enough, you need to turn on the modem and routers on your network again.
  • Once your home network has gone back online, turn on your console and then open MLB The Show 23 to see if you are able to play the game without any internet connection problems.

5. Suspending the game to go back to the home screen may also cause network errors as well. Therefore, we recommend that you simply pause the game if you need to step away.

If you are playing the baseball game on the Series S or Series X, then we suggest that you avoid using Quick Resume. Instead, you should quit the game from the Xbox guide menu every time before you turn off the console.

6. Of course, the development team at Sony San Diego Studio may eventually release a patch that fixes the network errors. Thus, you should make sure that you have the latest version of this baseball game downloaded on your PlayStation, Xbox or Switch system.

How to change camera angles in MLB The Show 23

By default, MLB The Show 23 features the catcher’s perspective when you are hitting. While pitching, the game uses the broadcast’s perspective. When it comes to balls put in play, it uses dynamic camera angles.

If you don’t like how the camera angles are set up, then you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see how you can customize them.

1. For the first step, you need to open the Settings menu, which can be done from either the main menu or during the middle of the game by opening the pause menu.

By default, the Hitting View is set to Catcher. You can also change it to Catcher Far, Catcher Near, Fish Eye, Fish Eye 2,Offset, Offset 2, Offset Zoom, Retro, Strike Zone, Strike Zone 2, Strike Zone 3, Strike Zone High, Strike Zone Offset, Wide, Zoom, Broadcast, Outfield, Pitcher, Pitcher Center, Pitcher Offset, Pitcher Wide, Pitcher Zoom as well as four custom profiles.

For custom camera angles, you can zoom, rotate and move the in-game camera in order to find the most suitable viewpoint.

The In-Play View Offense and In-Play View Defense camera angles are dynamic by default. These can also be changed to High, Medium, Retro or Broadcast.

4. Once you are done changing the camera angles, you need to back out of the Camera menu.

5. You should then see a Confirm message appear on the screen. From there, you need to select Apply Changes in order to save the new camera angles.
