Sorry for the niche post, but the "
NBA 2K PC Forum" seems to be primarily about modding and rosters.
Anybody else here playing on PC and playing on the West Coast? I'm really curious as to what times of the day and days of the week people have had good luck getting matches in RttP.
About a week or so ago, I finally cleared Seed 5 and moved into Seed 4...Unrestricted for the first time. In the week prior, playing Seed 5, I suddenly seemed to be getting games fairly regularly. But since getting into Seed 4, I haven't gotten a single match.
I'm often trying very late at night in my time zone, at least past midnight. But I've also tried at, say, 10-11pm on weeknights or at various times on weekends. And have, several times, tried leaving it searching for 30 minutes or more. Nada.
It's mind-boggling because, the way I imagine it, if I cannot get a game match, that means that there is no other person, at that time, in my time zone, looking for a match in Seeds 1, 2, 3, and 4.
I've tried using a proxy service to get onto other servers. If I go East Coast, the games are playable but lag is bad enough that I can't hit wide-open midrange jumpers reliably. Even in Gauntlet. Foreign servers are unplayably laggy. Don't think there's a Central/Midwestern server.
If anyone else here is on PC and West Coast, feel free to add me on Steam. User name is "harrylundt."
Even if you're not in Unrestricted Seeds, perhaps we can play through PvP Online Challenges. (And do something like play for real until there is a winner, and then winner still starts, but quits matches to give wins to the loser so that he can also complete the Challenge, if he wants to do it that way.)
