There's a lot of attention on Co-Op right now as there has been the last couple of years. Regular freeze-offs have been a thing with MLB The Show's multiplayer for ages now, and it's been even more noticeable in Co-Op. Just recently, I played in an incredibly laggy game where the friendly quit was declined before the game completely froze.
As a known Valuer of My Own Time, I dashboarded instead of sitting in a meaningless virtual pissing contest so I could play another game with my bros. Instead, when I got back into the game I was staring at a 30 minute cooldown period because I quit.
Hopefully we get some serious online stability fixes very soon.
