Lag makes this game literally unplayable at on a competitive level

[ptang]

Am I the only one? I'm on PS4 and play mostly UT. My internet is fast and I have no lag on any other games.

I was a top player on all Undisputed series and desperately want to play this game competitively. This has been a problem all along but is now so bad I haven't touched the game in months. Div 6 UT matches are ALWAYS lagged horribly. Game is literally unplayable. I KO/get KO'd regularly from strikes that make noise but aren't even animated...

THANKS FOR RUINING A GREAT FRANCHISE EA, get it together.

I assume no one plays this game anymore because of this. The whole pay $1.99 for 2 amazing card packs paints a clear picture. EA is trying to squeeze the last little bit of revenue out of this sinking ship. I wouldn't be surprised to see them shutdown these servers before the next game even comes out.

lol @ shut down the servers.

You sound like you have no idea what your talking about.

Lag can get really really bad indeed. We absolutely need dedicated servers for the next game, also 60fps since 30fps already introduces a small amount of lag even on the best connections

Haha, I know. Just rage trolling. Infuriating to see this game's potential and get almost no enjoyment out of it. It appears that some people don't experience this level of lag. This makes me even angrier because a vocal minority is typically ignored.

80%+ of my online fights are lag free, or close enough to be considered so.

10% are --- laggy; but bearable

10% suck --- that said, MOST of these lagfests occur when I fight someone internationally (you can usually tell when it's European/Russian/Brazil lol)

On one hand I feel your pain.

On the other hand --- HOW OLD ARE YOU??? --- you must not have played online games in the late 90s or early 2000s --- you kids these days, don't realize the pain of a 14.4 kbps dial-up modem.

Don't be such a complainer, we're lucky we have the damn internet, we could have been born in the 1300s, now wouldn't that have sucked ***???

Easy to have that perspective if the game is playable to you 80% of the time.

I get noticeable lag 100% of the time, and I'd say 50% of the time it's bad enough that the game is unplayable.

I'd be annoyed as a casual gamer. As a previously top player in the world in other UFC games, it's way more than annoying. It removes me entirely from contention, where it doesn't seem to have that affect on other top players.

Wtf are you talking about 1300's for? You can apply that logic to basically any argument. I played games online thru the 90's. I'm used to adjusting my timing for lag.

No timing adjustments help here. Input is often MISSED, not delayed. Parries are impossible, denials only work preemptively, my fighter just bobs up and down when I try for TD's, strikes make noise and land but aren't even animated, submission are escaped/completed entirely mismatched from the interface.

I was being sarcastic w/ the reference to the 1300s lol ----

Where do you live?

Do you hardwire your console? Rather than wi-fi?

Have you adjusted your TV settings to reduce lag as much as possible? That can make a big difference.

I have a MW championship fight this week in one of my leagues; defending my belt against a tough fighter from Europe, I'm definitely worried that lag will bring me down but it is what it is I suppose
