OD User v. User Lag

[dawgpound 26]

Tried to do a search and couldn't come up with anything already posted about this (if anyone knows of a thread out there already please let me know).

I run on OD on Heisman with Game Speed on Slow. We just got through the first round of user games in season 1 and every game there were issues with lag. The players seemed to be stuck in the mud and unresponsive. Play calling also was lagging as the game progressed. Could this be an issue with the Game Speed on Slow for just the OD user games?

I played the same guy online in an un-ranked match and we had zero issues with lag, which is why I think it could be an issue with the game speed since the online games are set to Normal speed.

Any input on this would be appreciated.

Try putting it on normal

I plan on doing that, but our next user game is 5 weeks out and we only advance 2-3 times a week. Was just hoping someone else had run across this issue and found a solution, so that I know for sure it will fix it when we get to the next user game.

I'd put it on normal now to let everyone get used to it. You're really not going to want to be switching back and forth every week so its best just to switch it and leave it. You could also start up a 2 man dynasty with a buddy and play week 1 and test it that way.

2 others and I run into this "lag" as well. I say "lag" because it may not technically be that... since since latency is usually in correlation with internet connectivity problems. What we have been experiencing is a sort of sluggishness within the game, but only during online dynasty USER vs USER games. The sluggishness is highly evident when in the playcalling menus, as the teams take their places on field, and even more so at the snap and subsequent play. It is not just the players that seem to be moving in slow motion... it's the entire view on screen.. tickers, menus, stadium, etc. Everything just feels like half speed.

I first noticed this in an OD USER game with sliders used.. but it wasn't until my opponent had a 1st and goal from a very short distance that this "lag" occurred. It continued on throughout the game and nothing we attempted fixed the problem.

For good measure, I tried many online "pickup games" outside of the dynasty to see if I could replicate this issue, but I had no such luck. This told me that it was something native to only dynasties.

I then thought that maybe it was due to the sliders, threshold, game speed, or some other tweak that we had in place... so I created a test dynasty with everything default and we still experienced the problem.

So, in summation, this seems to only occur in online dynasty USER vs USER games regardless of settings.

Needless to say, this is VERY frustrating and makes gameplay downright miserable. I sincerely hope there is a quick/simple fix for this so that we can continue on...
