Re: Live run lag

Are you on WiFi or hardwired? I would suggest if you are on hardwired try wifi because you might be going so fast at 800 that others who have slow speeds might make you lag.

I go as much as 400 mbps and noticed that my ps4 gets these lan disconnection and I drop to 90 mbps even though I'm hardwired. It played better when it's 90 mbps and more stable like less errors. Could be my wire or ps4 getting old or the game caps me at 90mbps. Usually disconnects nba live and no other title unless I move my wire. After a disconnect once it goes fine the rest of night. It's not my router because it does not disconnects my PC on wifi. Could be the ethenet port on router but it's a solid netgear hawk x8 so maybe it's just cheap cat 7 flat wire or ps4 port getting old or game making me lose a connection at 400 mbps and reconnecting me a 90mbps. Could also be my ISP throlling me at night but on pc I still reach max speed so it's ps4 side.

Also game plays slower than live 18. Like if you jump for a block and miss your more likely to be off balance and pay for your early reaction. You have to slow down a bit and just observe to time your plays better.

Now with update 1.07 you get tired holding down the run and need to refill your short stamina bar other wise your red and zapped. I had to make a swap of one trait to run faster and not get so tired but this takes away for putting a three points trait or defense trait so it's a choice. Either I'm faster just to keep up with others especially on 3v3 or slower with defense.

I'm a Rim Protector so I don't have speed to start up with. I wish they could keep rebalancing the stamina bar becuase my big guy needs some speed to catch up for defense and speed for verticle dunks so I'm tired all the time. It's like EA took stamina and messed with it too much that now I can't even play anymore unless I just stand on the court and rest while a game is going on.

So yeah there is lag and yeah the game is slower than live 18 and now you're punished for running so, it's even the slowest I've seen so far.

  • I think nba live 2019 has a faulty error that decreases your internet. I always do a base speed test on ps4 when I turn it on. I get about 385 mbps  to 400+ mbps download and 20 to 24 mbps upload.

    Only on nba live 2019 do I get lan disconnection. I am hard wired and this does not happen with no other game. I don't remember if it occurred on nba Live 2018. Only with nba live 2019 do I start with 400+ mbps download and like 18+ mbps and get a lan disconnection. I then I have to go to my network settings in ps4 and uncheck manually to disconnect network and connect again and when I re-check my Internet speed with ps4 I now can only go 90 mbps and 10 mbps. 

    I believe that this game throttles your internet speed and thus causes lag by slowing every ones internet. So if I have 400 and go down to 90 mbps, I wonder how a person with 200 or 100 mbps goes down to after getting lan disconnection 90mbps or less.

    Again I only get this error of disconnected from lan on ps4 when nba live 2019 is running. Then I go from 385 mbps to 90mbps or less in a session of just turning on ps4 and then starting nba live 2019. No background download is occurring on ps4 like downloading a update for another game which was a possible reason for slowing Internet speed. I don't know if this is a thing I am only getting or every one else. I use a cat 7 ethernet cable and some ppl said ps4 likes better cat 5e or 6 but this error does not affect any other games I run that require online.

    I just deal with it. At first I thought it was my cable which was some what used but last night it did it once more and it does not disconnects me from my laptop when I get disconnected from lan on ps4 so I don't know. Router, cable, ps4, nba live 2019. I don't have a problem with my router or cable or ps4 on other games but nba live 2019 having all these lag to ppl brings me to suspect that this game has a flaw that resets your Internet speed on your ps4 and throttles you so it creates lag universal to everyone playing.  Probably from that animation engine that nba live 2019 benefited from that nba live 2018 didn't have.

    I know it sounds like a stretch, nba live 2019 game for ps4 is at fault but, this annoying bug as been with the game since September 2018. It might be my old cable also not blaming everything wrong on nba live 2019. For those on wifi only I wonder how is your speed test on ps4 before starting on ps4 and after the game starts? Also those on hard wired? Obviously if the game is in use then it would yield a slower interest speed on ps4 until you close the game out and run it with no applications open.

    Your thoughts and input...

  • it gotten to the point where my dribble moves dont fully register causing me to do wierd hesitations all the time or simply stop moving. connection got better for me in February but now on lan in May (5/27/19)both my shot and dribbles slows ridiculously down then speeds up. it happens so frequently and at total random times causing me to make bad reads, late passes...u name it. I gave up 2k for live, dont loose the supporters who gave Live a chance. 

  • Need help when I shoot in live run my shot is completely delayed pls help
