Petition To Patch Input Delay

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

Maybe they can't figure it out. Its like people believe 2k knows exactly how to fix this but doesn't.

There is always latency impact in online games. If it wasn't for lag compensating techniques, you'd see herky jerky movements and mini teleportings of other players in cod,bf4, etc. But instead we see it all fluently with cost of bad hit detection at times (being hit while behind corner, shooting at some1 w/o dmg).
In 2k15 latency affects game in worst possible way - input delay. I think its because the engine and developers can't do anything about it, except improving servers to minimise it perhaps

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

Well guys, I officially sent 2k a ticket linking them to this thread, I'll keep everyone updated on their response

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

Is this petition only about online input lag? You have some lag when trying to block people. Seems like that should be a focus before trying to fix online lag.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

there working on it, Mike Wang already addressed it in QA, along with controlling your player on offense and defense and being able to walk the ball up the court much better, than you can now. hopefully addressed in next patch.

Keep taking what these ppl say at face value if you want, I purchase this game EVERY YEAR and it's still the same cycle. They already patched the game and made it worse.... Why believe anything they tell us when we've been burned more than once? I don't have faith in this company's ethics nor their capacity to produce a fully functional product. I've wasted way too much of my coin on this series simply because I'm a basketball junkie and there's no other alternative worth playing/purchasing, this is basically a damned if I do, dammed if I don't type of relationship and I for one have had enough at this point.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

Thing about this delay, it seems to be random. But one thing I noticed increasing game speed helps a bit. xD

The CPU literally flys up and down the court when the speed is increased but like you stated, it does help a little.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

Apparently their ignoring me. I submitted a ticket around 10 A.M., sent them two tweets on twitter and still no response.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

All of my lag issues were offline and I thought they were bad... then I played my cousin online last night and my goodness. I've never played such mess in my life. Guys were literally ice skating 6 feet past the guy they were guarding. I mean it's so bad I don't even know how to describe it. Anyone who can defend this stuff is just a homer... plain and simple.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

Even with the atrocious delay, I've had some most epic basketball video game moments at online quick game and My Team mode. Nothing feels better than you stand up after opponent destroying you with cheese and taking the victory in last moments of the game.
Kinda sad as well , that the input delay kills the massive potential of great games to be had online. I really hope its top priority of devs to make a patch improving the responsiveness online.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

LoL after previous post i went to play a single RTTP match and, as if with a flick of a magic wand, it was offline-like . Probably next game will be hell like before, but it was so fantastic I was nearly crying of joy. Even made 2 perfect release free throws with Rondo, which says everything.

He mentions the decrease of input lag from about 2:40 mark

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

This must be a difficult problem to fix. I played about 12 games the other night because I have been stressing about input lag since 2k12. Here is what I've noticed.
Offline:
So I played an nba today game first. I think it was Toronto and the Bucks. Not sure, but anyway I didn't notice any lag at all. Next, I played a quick game with MIA and ATL. The lag was so noticeable I thought I was online! I played 4 more offline games which all had a significant amount of input lag, but not as bad as the first MIA game I played.
Online:
Where do I start? I played 3 games, 2 with POR, and 1 with MIA. The lag online is horrible. There really isn't a nice way to put it but it's expected. Its online. The 3rd game was so laggy that everytime the ball was inbounded, the players looked to be in fastforward. The guy I was playing with was cracking up because everytime this happened, I sang the old Benny Hill intro LOL. After that last game I used a wire connection and this seemed to help a bit, but I still had a couple instances where the Benny Hill effect occured. On top of that the controls are so sluggish, its impossible to play any kind of defense on the wing. The last 3 games did about the same. I would definitely say if you can use wired connection go with that. Or make sure your at 90% or > signal strength. 2k would implement online lobbies like they had a few years ago, this may help with eliminating some of these lag issues. As far as offline, I don't know why in the hell this game lags offline.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

I'm considering of making some viral videos showing my button presses and the time it takes for the action to happen on screen in order to get these guys to address a problem that is absolutely killing this game for many of their fans who play the majority of their matches online...

This is a brilliant idea. if I had the capabilities I would do so as well.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

As someone who exclusively used to play quick matches online, and literally no other game mode, the input lag this year has simply rendered the game unplayable. I was glad to see this thread and know I'm not alone in the struggle.

Sadly, I don't expect things to improve at all. The situation is especially disappointing after hearing them talk all summer about their engineers making sure the server infrastructure was better than ever. Quite frankly, their propensity to make false promises that won't be followed through is a slap in the face to loyal customers of the franchise like myself who've purchased the game every year for about a decade. At this point, I simply don't believe in anything they have to say.

What infuriates me even further is that every year, we continue to see all these trivial additions being made to the game, like 2KTV, only to have a CORE issue like this go unattended. It's been a major issue on next-gen and it has progressively gotten WORSE, which is probably the most worrisome aspect of this debacle since it highlights how low on their team's priority list this problem is.

I don't pretend to know how much 2K's budget for their NBA title is every year, but I'd MUCH rather have them spend their resources on stable online play than on a "TV" show that adds nothing of significance or a soundtrack "curated" by Pharrell Williams.

Re: Petition To Patch Input Delay

Don't agree that input lag is 'something to be expected' in 2014. FIFA with 11vs11 interaction or any other modern online game doesn't suffer from this at all. Used to be able to perform any precision based move in Fifa 13 online games. Of course ping affect stuff and it won't be offline-like ever, but what we get in NBA 2k15 is not acceptable.
