I played one game, it was laggy and glitchy and unplayable IMO. The screen showed three green bars but the play was horrible. I'm actually really surprised because I played 70+ online games of 13 and the experience was pretty good and never as bad as what I experienced on my first try with 14. I really don't understand how it turned out so bad. If anything you would think they would make progress in a positive direction and perhaps improve the experience but like the NBA 2k franchise, it's a year to year gamble and most of the time the end user loses. Not sure if it's traffic shaping, match making issues, server side limitations, or just bad code....either way it was (and is) a major disappointment. And really don't expect the PS4 to be any better.
