Online Delay?

[vtcha]

Just wondering if anyone else has delay when they play online games. To me every time I play a quick rank match I usually experience a 1 second delay, where if I press X (PS3), it will pass the ball one second later. This delay has caused me to turn the ball consistently and it also affected my jump shot release & rebound/block timing. And because of the delay there is no way I can play on-ball defense now since one second is all my opponent needs to blow pass me. Could part of the reason be because I am from Australia, thus affecting connection quality as I am assuming most players are from the U.S?

Overall the online experience has been somewhat sub-par for me as I have to deal with the delay as well as trying to avoid a couple of cheap plays from my opponents (i.e., trying to draw a charge while I am dribbling up the court, as well as defenders going for on-ball steals).

It's been like that since as far as I can remeber when it comes to nba 2K games. It's between 0.5 second and one second delay. You get used to it.

You might be right because I've never played online until 2K9 I think. I woudn't know.

It's called lag. Almost all online video games have it...

Re: Online Delay?

I think its specifically called "input lag".
When i first bought my samsung 55" LED tv i noticed this delay and looked into it, on my TV there is an option to change it to "Game Mode".
I think it dropped the graphics a bit but it removed the delay.
I hope this helps

Re: Online Delay?

I don't know... I would call it online input delay more than LAG. Imagine playing a FPS and you have a one second delay on your input. You simply coudn't play the game.

If you play FIFA you will have no online input delay either. You'll have lag but it will come and go you know, not like that consistent one second delay on your input.

Re: Online Delay?

I'm pretty sure it's a PS3 issue since I've never had input lag on Xbox. I also know that Battlefield 3 on the PS3 has input lag issues and has had to have multiple fixes for it, while the Xbox edition has never had any issues. The only lag I get is the random lag spikes.

Re: Online Delay?

Wierd man. I'am on xbox and online I have that huge delay. I agree on BF3 though.

Re: Online Delay?

this year seems to be the worst when it comes to input lag.. it seems to be worse during peak ours which leads me to believe 2k needs to improve their servers.

Re: Online Delay?

Yea, it's just input lag it's like this every year. One thing madden has better than 2k is online servers.

Lol I completely disagree, I can't tell you how many times I get booted for no reason. My Internet connection is legit too. I've never gotten booted from any 2K games.

Re: Online Delay?

yeah I think the delay is just a standard thing, kinda puts me off playing online

From my personal experience, I found it harder to complete games online in 2K, plus it's worse for it to lag in bball games because you need to time actions. Idk i guess it depends.
