ONLINE on PC is DEPRESSING

[LuigiN64]

so, I have no idea how the online is doing on console, but, BESIDE all the dumb server issues and lobbies CONSTANTLY crashing cause 2k won't spend 2 pennies to let players have a DECENT multiplayer experience;

on PC it's sooooo depressing; imagine waiting 15 minutes HOPING to have someone joining the session. plus you have no idea if you will be able to play. it Can crash during the loading screen, the match, in the lobby- damn I spent more time re-booting the game than playing.

and also, again, I have no idea on console...but on PC most of the times there aren't many online lobbies, and worse if you try to play with Female rosters (or even worse, CaWs) why the hell you have the possibility to pick, either: standard wrestler, or custom ones? like what if I wish to fight only CaWs? simply, I can't, and it feels limited (espeically because usually people always pick the seame...3 wrestlers: Roman, Cody, Bianca or Rhea) damn I fought 6 Rheas in a row once-

now; we have: horrible servers, no lobbies at all, BROKEN mechanics (in the lobby, and during the gameplay)

in what alternative universe to mute yourself you have to mute the other people in the lobby! ? seriously, the mic is always on and you CANT turn it off...why? it really feels like the online of those games have been designed by someone who never touched a modern online game.

and also, of course, some moves during the match make the lobby crash, or the hits-exange.


I dunno, I really like to play with others online, but it's starting to get frustrating.

That ends up being the problem with most PC games that do not have crossplay, where the PC online scene with be dead and you are kind of forced to get the game on PlayStation to play online.

Most of the time you are forced to use the games Discord to find the PC LFG section to actually get groups together to play with.

I'll play with ya, I used to play online on here a lot the first month then I just used the game to edit

My biggest issue is that the timing for reversals is completely borked due to lag.

yeah I love creating characters- but beside that, I have people to play with, yet the online makes it so frustrating-

In all the times I've sat on the 'looking for match' screen, I've played 3 or 4 matches online in total. And the input lag makes it nearly impossible to counter anything or kick out of a pin.

Online play is absolute trash.

People quit aswell online because they have fragile egos.
I hate my faction, and online in general to be honest, but I tried to earn the achievement for 5 my factions wins online. I did 3 matches, all 3 of them quit because I had the upper hand, and what makes it worse, is the quits don't count as wins.

Too many fragile people caring about losing a game online. It's why I don't play online no more, people can't take a loss.

I can confirm that it is just as bad on console, if not worst in some scenarios, on console (Series X and PS5) and the lobbies are just filled with people trying to get games. I've had multiple people messaging me on PlayStation, telling me how long they have been just trying to get in a game. Bottom line is, 2K don't care. They are only interested in getting the product out the door and rely on the MyFaction and the rubbish Showcase mode being the seller. For what ever reason they don't deem multiplayer important.

Take any of the shills that are on the payroll on YouTube who like to minimise how bad multiplayer stability is with a grain of salt.
