    NBA Live 14 - Post Your Online Experience

    My online experience so far:

    In a quick match Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves the lag was so bad that the game looked like it was being played with a slow-motion cheat enabled. Timing jump shots was impossible due to the lag. I mutual quit out of the game after 1 quarter of the unplayable lag.

    Now I've been sitting here at the quick match menu for about 15 minutes searching for another opponent and I cannot find one. I tried joining through the lobbies instead of matchmaking, but the lobbies are completely empty.

    I was going to play some when I got home from work. I tried searching for someone too, but I sat there for a couple of minutes. Probably not a lot of people have the game or are online. We'll see later when I get home.

      Online Game #2

      Grizzlies vs. Warriors unplayable slow-motion lag again. Tried to mutual quit but the guy wouldn't accept.

      So either I can quit out of this lag-fest and take a loss or suffer through some slow-mo basketball.

      Edit: I got the lead in the second quarter and he finally let me mutual quit. Ugh.

        Damn I was hoping the online experience would be fine, but that doesn't look like it's happening.

          Online game #3

          Ultimate Team scrub team vs. Ultimate Team scrub team. This was the most playable one lag wise, but timing jump shots was still far too difficult due to input lag. I think I made one jumper the whole game because of the on-screen input delay.

          The guy I was playing just kept driving to the hoop and spamming the hop step/euro step, and apparently, those moves will allow you to clip through defenders. Not once did he travel or get called for a charge or even turn the ball over despite spamming the hop step/euro step in the lane all game.

          You can be guarding a guy super tight, but then he'll press the hop step/euro step button and all of a sudden his player clips through the defender's body and he has a wide open runner.

          Yuck.

                I'm running into the same issue...and I know my PS+ is good as I was on FIFA the other day so I don't understand the error.

                UPDATE: It turns out it wants a day one patch..that's what the error means

                  so there is the video of the 3rd quarter I played. You can clearly see the slow motion lag (makes shooting and passing both really hard). Either way, this game potentially be a very good player vs player game!

                    Yes, thank you for the online impressions. I played FIFA 14 the other day online and had the same lag issues especially in one match so perhaps EA's servers are getting hammered. I played one game tonight...streamed it and a few brave souls actually watched me. The CPU creamed me but after getting way behind in the first half the deficit stayed roughly the same in the second half. Anyway, the controls were, in my opinion, relatively intuitive. I did have some issues controlling passes....in a few cases I had passes thrown wildly off the court. If it's anything like FIFA I probably held the pass button too long. I also have to learn to control defenders better. Finally, I still don't have the shooting timing down. The pre-order bonus game me so many gold packs I now have an all gold team. All in all it is very playable...the player models aren't where 2K is but I think it's still a good playable game and if they can build on it they'll be a competitor. One big omission, no practice mode where you can go over the controls.. I'm glad I bought it and I hope they carry on and make a new game next year.

                      Does this game have online leagues or online franchise?

                        Doesn't look like it.

                        Online head to head is the only option. Either you play 1 vs. 1 with NBA teams or 1 vs. 1 with Ultimate Teams.

                          Online is just unplayable. Couldn't get through a quarter of it.

                          Lag is just rampid.

                          I tweeted Scott and Ryan to inform them. Maybe they can get the message to the online team.

                            I can't figure out what could be causing the issues. But of the five games I've tried so far, four were completely unplayable.

                            It can't be an overload issue, as there's hardly anyone playing the game.

                            I've never seen an online game perform this poorly.
