Why is this game so laggy online?

You blame 2k for internet situation in Europe? I pay for pretty good internet here. Now if my opponent has bad internet then theres going to be a lag. How is that 2ks fault?
People keep bringing up servers as a buzz word but have no idea how they work.
Everytime this topic comes up, nobody wants to address people with terrible internet service.

I'm understanding about a lot of things, but as a game I paid $100 for (and more on VC since I don't have the time to play 179 MyCareer games in a row) it's unacceptable that I can't even play a standard online game because of laggy servers. I've been spending real money to build up my MyTeam, real time learning how they play and work together, just to find out I can't even implement any of this against real people without completely relearning the game's timing on the fly. Its not even possible to practice in this state because the only place I can learn the new timing is in real games with my record on the line. It's literally like two entirely different experiences and as a game that already has such a steep learning curve (Which I really love and appreciate!!!!!!!!) it's unacceptable to exacerbate that with the extreme lag. We made this game more money than it has ever made last year. I understand all games have their issues, especially with servers, but not being able to play a simple online game because it feels like I'm stuck in a tape delay is not okay. They're trying to sell me on a $250k tournament, but I can't even qualify because I can't find a game with a stable connection.

People keep saying their servers are laggy but have no proof of that. You dont know how many servers they have, how big they are, or what they invested them but yet this keeps getting brought up.
I play online just like everyone and every game you play , or I play, isn't laggy.
I've played plenty of games that were just fine. I also played games where lagging did happen, which has happened in every online game that I play.
You are going to get this perfect, seamless online experience everytime. with game, especially when we all have different levels on internet quality and signal strength

No they aren't, madden, nba live, perfectly responsive online, I don't even notice any input lag.

Your not addressing what is being said, all other games work great online, 2k is not working great. Therefore, 2k is the problem.

2K's head to head online is like 10 years old. I think when you play 1v1 it's some old school peer to peer connection. You get the occasional flawless game when you connect to someone really close to you, but in my experience it's kinda rare. It's so funny to me that in 2018 we're still sitting there doing nothing while the other dude goes into the menus. No other game does this, even today's indy games woudn't allow that, and you can be sure that next year will be no different =)


Is Parc's online better? I woudn't be surprised if it were.

I've been playing 2k for awhile but didn't start playing online mypark/proam until about 2k16.

Purchased every 2k since and not 1 time have I played a game online whether it be park or pro am and there wasn't any type of latency.

What I consider normal is the half a second to second delay between when I press a button no a controller to where it happens.

There are times it's even worse or you see skipping around. I always thought it's because I was too cheap to pay $100 + on internet a month just to play one game. But nice to know there are others in the boat with me.

All those other games are not free of lag either. No games are. Saying they are is definitely not true

And I dont notice this 2k. So which one of us is right or wrong?
You cant generalize every online experience with this game as being like your own. Come to my house and it would fine.
