Can't play online

[takki]

I only can play someone about 20% of the time.

Most of the time, it just says connecting to opponent, and never changes.

Please don't say "Don't play online" because while you guys have fun with association mode or whatever, I hate playing the boring CPU, and only play online.

Also, is the quick ranked game button the only way to play online? There is no online game mode. The only way I know to play online is to press the ranked button or do the 5 vs 5 online mode that I don't like.

I normally don't use the quick match feature because I don't wanna play against someone with a bad internet and play with lag all game. I recommend using the lobby system instead and challenging people with good connections.

Hopefully that'll work for you...

I got to the lobby and a handful of invites pop up in my message box. I go to each one and they say the game is no longer available.

And when i finally do get online the game drags and one of us gets disconnected.

Im not a big online dude but how can there be x amount of players online and i cant connect to ONE game?

NAT is MODERATE - should i change this? if so where - in my Network connections?

^ What this guy said is my same problem.

Ranked Match works 10% of the time, which is pretty much never.

Lobbies never work. Either it won't connect, or I get kicked the moment after the tip off.

Worse, why does it say over 50,000 people are online, but the lobbies only have 10 people in them?

I was reading online, and it seems the problem is that my Nat is Moderate.

The solution is to plug your PS3 directly to the modem.

But I can't do that. The modem is in my roommates room. And when I'm not at college, the modem is in another room and is too far to connect by cord.

Maybe yall are quitters and everybody has you avoided. You cant play ranked games from the lobbies either right?
