I have been the BIGGEST advocate of input lag/server issues for 2k since forever. It was my biggest problem with them that always held me back from enjoying the game.

I switched to direct Ethernet connection for 15 and I can honestly say it helped a lot. There was still a tiny delay, you cant play much on ball D, but it was bearable and a big improvement from WiFi. WiFi is unplayable and if you are in college still, chances are your connection will suck either way.

I feel your pain tho I dealt with that all through college days, luckily you have more buds around to not need online.

I like the fact that 2K is trying to fix the issue of always playing people who pick the same teams over and over when you play someone online. That alone is one of the reason's I've stayed away from online play for the past few years. Pretty cool to be able to unlock classic teams to play online with.

And even if it all works then the servers still have to survive Black Friday, then Christmas ... It's just safer to assume it's broken, IMHO. OT, this looks really fun (like the progression system). I will likely forget about it as I go through all the rest of the modes. It's going to take me more than a year to get through everything in this game, so I hope they don't expect me to get 2k17 ... it'll have to blow this one out of the water for me to invest in it.

It's not like it's only laggy when the servers are being hammered. Literally 24/7 365 days a year the online play has a ton of input delay because of the crappy netcode. It never ever goes away and it makes the game completely unplayable.

It's not just on you. I have 100 up/100 down, well beyond what anyone ever needs for playing any online game and the input lag is still there in any online mode. It's poorly built on 2ks end. I don't know how anyone can stomach it.

What netcode? Do you have any proof of this? Is anyone here a server expert?

And I am not trying to offend but everyone makes it seem like every other sports game, any game that ha or has online play, doesnt have lag or solved it.

Is there a sports game without lag, because all the others Ive played have it. Why does 2k get all the bad wrap for this when no other company has perfected servers?

I know, it's not, I'm just saying direct Ethernet helped. Key word: helped.

I agree with you, I've just given up on it a while ago because it honestly brought me unneeded stress from a game and Ronnie2k would always respond to complaints with "that's strange, nobody seems to have any problems with it here. Make sure you have a good connection".

Errr. Problem is he's too dumb to even notice input lag anyways.

Can a dev or community manager from 2K please confirm what difficulty settings Play Now Online will be on?

Thank you.
