Oh hey PastaPadre took a chance to take a shot at 2k Sports


SURPRISE

While the post is informative, we all know an EA game with similar problems would not be mentioned.

As bad as online is (I can't even get connected every time I tried) offline this game has glitches as well.

I'm gonna try to be patient with 2k and hopefully they fix both online and offline issues. When 2k10 comes out, I will probably wait it out a few weeks before purchasing. I rather be safe then sorry.

Re: NBA 2K9 Still Having Serious Online Issues (Pasta Padre)

the free throw glitch from last year is there again. the first free throw is faster than the 2nd.

Anyone know when a patch is expected? Any news from 2k yet?

Re: NBA 2K9 Still Having Serious Online Issues (Pasta Padre)

"Users are now reporting abnormal rosters being used in online games. Players on teams that they shouldn’t be. Rosters full of players from other teams. This one is bizarre especially considering the discussion in the conference call late last week. It was stated that the added player animations that come with the Living Rosters would not transfer into online play because they couldn’t validate that everyone had the same rosters. That had always been done automatically, everyone online would use the latest roster update. So something is up here and it may be more than a coincidence."

So those new animations arent even online and they cant validate rosters? The list keeps growing.

$60 for nothing more than a bunch of frustration thus far

My 2K camera has been taken away online
The lag online makes the game unplayable
No lobbies anymore

Why ? Why ? Why ?

Please 2K patch these issues and save my winter : (

Without some good online play....... I'm basically screwed

Listen man,do what I did and purchase Live as well.Thats of course if you can afford it but I mean online in Lives 5 on 5 clubs is playing to perfection with no lag what so ever,plus its fun as hell.

Re: NBA 2K9 Still Having Serious Online Issues (Pasta Padre)

thankfully i haven't experienced the lag yet, although in reading all the posts it seems like its only happening in the 5 on 5 mode...and i decided long ago to stay faraway from that mode...i can already imagine wanting to drive to someone's house and sock them up for playing point and never passing the ball.

although it sucks there's no 2k cam online, i am getting used to the default cam.

otherwise, i've played a few unranked online games against friends and they turned out great.

If you're buying it for the 5 on 5 (which is one of the best ideas to hit online gaming), just exchange 2K for Live. I just picked it up an hour ago and already had one game that was flawless. Ton of fun too as their AI flaws aren't seen as bad online. I'll probably toss 2K up on Ebay this weekend.

Re: NBA 2K9 Still Having Serious Online Issues (Pasta Padre)

Big shock on that article. Pasta is an EA shill. Talk about homers.

I've been able to play a few 5 on 5 games (when the server is actually up) and it's a ton of fun. If they can get things working - supposedly by the "end of the week" (whatever that means) it should be a feature I'll use long term.

My gripes w/ online so far for 5 on 5:

*Static team matchups are going to suck pretty soon. They should either completely randomize the matchups or add in a ton of more even matchups w/ multiple options.

*lag is there for me about every 3rd game and I've played about 10-12 games online so far. Even played about half 5v5 or 4v4 w/ minimal lag - maybe just dumb luck or being PST? Servers down a bit too much for my taste though.

*there needs to be a quicker kick mechanism for laggers. This 30 sec stuff is one of the problems probably.

*there needs to be a kick for idling players or auto control option for someone who needs to "pause" for 2-3 mins. Twice I've had a player just stop playing - once it was Chris Paul and once it was T-Mac so we were stuck with a "dead man". When it's the PG and your C is a cpu player it's 8 secs after 8 secs in the backcourt.

*While I like the teamwork grade concept, ranked 5 on 5 ers should have some kind of option of grading their teamates factored in as well.

*shooting percentages are a bit on the high side, but I guess that's a tradeoff for game length.

*some sort of pregame or lobby chat would be nice for teams before the game.

Overall, it is a pretty fun mode to play with a lot of potential if the lag/problems get ironed out reasonably quickly.

You know whats funny people saying that 2k stole dna from live or live stole dna from 2k, but looks like both stole from each other on online launch unplayabilities..hahaha

yup. you can create your own matchups in the custom lobby though so at least we do have that option.

*lag is there for me about every 3rd game and I've played about 10-12 games online so far. Even played about half 5v5 or 4v4 w/ minimal lag - maybe just dumb luck or being PST? Servers down a bit too much for my taste though.

yup. although I dig the grading system as it is now.

*shooting percentages are a bit on the high side, but I guess that's a tradeoff for game length.

They should really make all ranked games superstar or HOF by default.

*some sort of pregame or lobby chat would be nice for teams before the game.

they give us about 1:30 before the game to talk.

Overall, it is a pretty fun mode to play with a lot of potential if the lag/problems get ironed out reasonably quickly.

yup.
