Live run lag
Live Run in 19 is unplayable, lag if you are an outside shooter for many is terrible ! The shot meter is different every game either super slow or super fast ? Im on a fiber gig connection with open...

Same! This is just absolute BS. This is the same as last year. Here’s what I wrote EA and have yet to receive an adequate reply addressing this issue. It literally is game breaking. Thank you for opening this topic. I am also puzzled by the lack of complaints. Maybe the EA mafia is shutting down all complaints. This is what I wrote to an EA Customer Rep 1/10/2019:
Live events are constantly plagued with bad lag coupled with floaty and delayed movements renderering proper player movement in Multiplayer modes very difficult to play consistently and accurately. My internet connection is roughly 300 mbs down so internet speed is not an issue. I have also reset my console and reinstalled the game in hopes to resolve the issues on my own, knowing this probably wouldn’t help.
Layups should be a simple shot but for some reason it is challenging to make a basic shot like a layup. AI has a bad performance balance, where AI seems to play like they are in God Mode on Superstar setting. I could reduce the difficulty but then the AI is not challenging enough and too easy. It’s a very fine line.
I’m not alone on the lag issues . Please refer to this post on Reddit: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/NBAlive/comments/9e8doa/anyone_having_issues_with_lag_in_19/
All of these issues are the same problems that were present in NBA Live 18. NBA Live 19 is just a reskinned version of 18 in my opinion. It seems to me EA didn’t address the problems from last year and just repacked the same crap in a prettier box. You can put lipstick on a pig...I think you get my point.
After recent updates game is worse. On ball tip the animation gets reset because no one jumps due to lag right off the game start. I have over thrown the ball on tip off over the player head, funny but lag. Shooting not consistent with meter because of in game lag. Dunks are missing because of lag, they go in then out. Passing is the worse with ball going no where not even if your directly passing holding r1, due to the on going lag. I in bounded the ball only to hit the back of backboard because of lag and player position causing error.
It's like ai is over powered playing on God mode, agreed. They are on you even before you got the ball and then they steal from you due to lag if you are still to long or you rush into them and it will triggeres them to steal automatically. I think the balance on ai being so God mode contributed to the lag or the new real life engine but this was not there in the beginning on September 2018 beta or release. This has been slowly creeping in after many updates and minor bug fixes that EA silently injects before a big patch comes in via xmb.
Some one said they now play like a bumbling fool. I see alot of level 25 on Live Run like missing shot after shot or making bad passes. I now have changed my traits to get more speed to compensate the cheese EA is throwing at us but they silently patch and make it worse yet again or get a awful night of lag and it still plays bad. Sometimes you get low level players and it's unbearably due to the fact that even good players are mucking it up because of the lag.
I now use:
Windbreaker or Marathon Runner, Wind Spirit all of the time, and Catch & Release all of the time. I took off Statement dunker cuz no one is giving me the ball and I could dunk well enough being a Rim Protector and took off Relentless defender cuz I can still swat most dunks or layups under the rim. I need speed and better ball handling cuz I'm getting worked by ai all of the time. I am not creating another character. I like beine big but maybe I should have dropped my weight of 238 but I can work heavy players like Shack pretty good at this weight and not get push around.
It all depends on either other players Internet if they have a slow Internet cuz sometimes I see a bad lag and the game play slow down like matrix only to speed up like Benny Hill comedy skit. Maybe it's EA server or game is running on who ever is playing. I run a speed test on ps4 before I go in and get like 350+ mbps download topping at 408mbps and 18 mbps topping off at 22 mbps for upload. I have Netgear R8500 and it's wired to ps4 that how I know I'm at the best shape for gaming. I do other online game and don't have lag so it leads me to believe that something is wrong in NBA Live 2019. Please development look into this lag. More often game bugs are hurting online experience for us who play your live run already 6 months into it.
Thank You for Your Consideration...
