tekkenstats.gg vs steam

[poli]

according to tekkenstats.gg the number of players is around 2000, while steam says it is 7000.

We could say that the other 5000 on Steam are offline players, but it is a game designed to be played online, so I don't believe it.

While the tekkenstats.gg figure of 2000 players is more in line with the current situation of online Tekken games, you always find the same players and waiting times will increase considerably.

Separate note: quite some time ago in other forums, communities, discussions the topic had been raised that in some Steam games the number of players is altered to appear to have more players than it really does.

escribo esto porque no encuentro ninguna partida aun cuando según steam dice que hay 7000 jugadores.

sin embargo tekkenstats.gg dice que hay unos 80, lo cual tendría sentido el porque no encuentro partidas

It may be bots.
Who knows.

I would not put it past Namco at this point to inject "players" into the game to salvage whatever you want to call this Prowess matchmaking.


The disparity may be something else-

I personally would not jump to conclusions that severe unless you have more proof.

Tekken Stats only cares about ranked, so it most likely only shows the players that are active in ranked, while Steam will show you all the players, regardless if they are in practice mode, quick match, lobby, lounge, story mode, etc, if you have the game open, it's counting you.

Why do you guys care so much about "numbers"? As long as you can find players to fight against everything is fine.

I think there's some sort of contest going on to find the most prominent game with the least amount of concurrent players and say "DED GAEM BRUV!". Don't know what the prize is, tho

justamente ese es el problema, podríamos decir que steam esta contando a a cualquiera que tenga el juego abierto, pero son 7000 jugadores de los que solo están online 2000 en clasificatoria? el resto esta en practicas, modo historia y cosas como esa?

difícil de creer.

That website is so fake. I'm Raijin and usually wait just 5-15 seconds for a match. I never get matched against same players either. Tekken 8 is doing amazing at the moment 8,186 players peak on Steam alone and most players are on consoles. When you combine all the platforms 15-20,000 concurrent players is more than enough for a fighting game. I'm pretty sure only players that have a trouble finding matches are those Tekken King and above as they are like 1% and below.

no troubles finding matches in eu2 with emperor rank, but website is not a fake either, it just counts ranked players

no lo tomes muy en serio, intenta defender su inversión.

como no quedo claro lo explicare: probablemente no tendrán problemas en encontrar partidas si estas en Norteamérica, pero para los de Sudamérica es un infierno encontrar a alguien.

seria lo ideal que este juego tuviera 20.000 jugadores, pero la realidad es que tiene mucho menos (me arriesgo a decir que esta muriendo).

steam tracks players which are playing the game while hiding their activity, other "services" pretty much use the API Steam supplies, so they always record worse numbers.

If you have 1000 players who are playing in invisible mode, hide their playing activity, they will still be tracked by steam, but they will not be tracked by services like some "game tracker", so their numbers should be below those 1000 players.


And in some cases the game "runs" in the background, not closing properly, artificially increasing the player count. Example: Rainbow Six Siege regularly has that issue

It would be fun if they injected actual AI players to be in online rank a mix of real players and AI. Better then being infested with Smurfs.
