    Re: Why is this game so laggy online?

    There was some articles i read that 2K is using Amazon Web Servers which is cloud servers to connect people to play online hence the bad lag were getting?

    This is not the future 2K but as business i know where you want to cut corners to maximize your profit margins because it's all about the money. But the service you're providing for online is straight up $h!t!

      According to this article 90% of large game companies use Amazon servers. So no, 2k using Amazon web servers is not the reason for the lag. Games like Fortnite, Overwatch and Destiny 2 use AWS for example. It's honestly just the 2k's netcode not amazon's. If I had to guess it's because 2k is so busy adding new things ever year in such a short dev cycle that bad code never really gets addressed.


      https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/glo...=operasport-20. This is map of where the servers are. So guys in Europe are hung out to dry by 2k if they truly don't have servers.

        Just noticed I already posted in here, but still lagging every game without fail. Some games start out smooth, but by the 3rd quarter the lag will present itself.

          i have better luck playing off hours. I played at 4am last night, felt lag free for me. Their servers have always been blah. I thought it played better when it was on the 360 and ps3. The transition to next gen hasn't been nice.

            No, they are not. lol When every game runs perfectly fine online EXCEPT 2K it's their problem not mine.

              Haha people mad because they gotta run an ether net cable. I got industrial length ether net cables. If you care about lag you should always have a cable. I even like wired controller, permitting.



              No complaints for me about spending on an Xtra long ether net cable cept I've tripped over that stuff when it's plugged into my cpu a couple of times at night walking to the bathroom. Edit : and they're way cheaper now. Everyone should get one today. Duet.


              Keel your wifi for your iPad and cellphone. Posting on forums while u watch bball on TV. Yknow haha. Sure it's ugly but you don't have to run it at all times, don't need to like tape it to the wall or anything. Just bust it out when you're sitting down for serious gaming.

                That 3rd quarter lag is just simply describing my 2k experience on this gen consoles. Each nba 2k game ever released this era. 3rd quarter lag is a thing.

                  I can't believe people are actually defending 2K's online performance. It stinks.

                  I have four friends who play a Madden online franchise together, and there is rarely even a hint of lag. Game plays exactly the same as it does offline.

                  When you play 2K online, isdatyt said it best: it really is a completely different game. You have to relearn all shot timings, moves that work offline are impossible to pull off online, you have to change your defensive strategy, etc.

                  I have Google Fiber 1Gbit wired connection, so the "your connection is the problem" excuse doesn't fly with me. The rest of 2K is too good to accept the state of their online performance. It's a shame.

                    This. This. This.

                    2K has been a pre-6AM game for me for some time now (so I don't get much run)

                    I even posed this question some time ago (several 2Ks ago) about the game literally feeling different early in the morning. Any mode that relies on connectivity to 2K's servers has that latency issue later in the day.

                    That's with 100/100 internet & I routinely clock in around those marks. Might dip to 89/87 or thereabouts during prime ours, but still.. 2K crawls, hurks & jerks in the evening/late night.

                      Internet connection and speed is not the true problem with this games lag and delay, its the input delay NBA 2k has in every online game no matter who your connecting to, i could play 1 v 1 against someone down the road from me and the input delay will still be there, it may have less hic ups and choppy ness, but then take another triple A game like Halo or even GTA online and play with someone down the street or even across the country?, and the delay is much less.

                        Re: Why is this game so laggy online?

                        Well this has been the case for the last 4 years 2k series on this gen when the game first come out everything would be okay and then some days go by and the game starts rubberbanding and choppy all over the place online / offline myleague online, career, park etc.

                        There is a big issue about rubberbanding 2k, players would go to places that you don'T want to, some flash speed teleporting happens etc. etc. and when you play play now online or myleague online 5v5 10 players act like they have no relation to one another. You see your controlled player would stuck or hit an invisible wal while yo just try to move etc. etc, a lot of choppines would appear bcs of all unnatural movement happening with either stuck or stop. It needs to be fixed on games end.

                          Xbox is not good. PS4pro + LAN = absolute zero lag
