First, I truly appreciate the effort, the opportunity to beta test, and recognize this is just that - a beta.
I’m kinda balking on playing my 5 tourneys today. Yesterday was like throwing a hand grenade in a chicken coop and I was one of the chickens.
I find it funny so many low ovr’s are complaining about the match making. Ovr doesn’t matter.
The lag is really bad. I jumped in immediately after it dropped and the first 3 or 4 games weren’t awful. But after that is was a cluster #### for me. I assume it was user count driven. But I’m not a techie.
Also noticed if the other guy’s team took much longer to load than mine, I was about to have a bad experience.
It’s all about the lag. That effects the shot meter, ability to shoot, ability to block, ability to defend, yeah, so that’s everything in the game. No manual switch is a huge deal for me. Although, the lag will impact that too. In fact with it being a laggy as it is, manual switch might be worse than auto. Who knows? I don’t.
By the last few matches it was unplayable for me. Every time I tried to inbound from a made basket my pg was frozen mid stride. Then he disappeared from the screen. Only to reappear later near the top of the key. A couple times when he reappeared a shot had been taken. Not sure how to control a disappearing player taking shots.
I expected it to be a mess as a beta. But as time wore on it became a bigger mess than I expected. I think think today I’ll let off the shot early and see if that helps. Certainly focus more on dunks.
Alright I’m going back in. Wearing a flack jacket this time. Maybe playing on my home WiFi will be better than my work WiFi. One thing that was kinda funny is several times people walked into my office while I was “trying” to play and each time I screamed “Get out!”
