Is Online Multiplayer for PC still useless?

[bowdown]

I am trying to get some online games going online. have never tried before but it just seems to fail everytime...has anyone got some good games going at all?

I played 30 seconds of a 15 fps game....learned my lesson and probably won't touch it until we try an Online Association through the forums.

Still no success for me.

I played a few over a month ago. You need to be very patient. Takes almost 10 mins till you find an opponent and then, 9 out of 10 times, the game runs with 15 fps, cause your opponet forgot to make a benchmark...I run fraps in the background, so I see the fps during team selection screen. If I get under 50 fps, I cancel right at the team selection (means no loss for you).

You see....you need very much patience to play a good game @2k12...me and my friends went back to 2k11. that game works online. (well lobbys are down since friday -.-)

I got into one game and I got barely over 10 fps, 5 maybe. It was aweful. Do they not test? Why even implement if it is going to be this broken? ugh.. So any word when online association will be playable?

[Andrew]

Probably when the PC patch comes out. Maybe.

I'll stick to the offline modes myself.

Probably when the PC patch comes out.

Stop it. You're killing me.

[Andrew]

Well, he did say playable, not working perfectly.

when i try quick match it never finds an opponent
when i try matchup quick match, it always lags and game drops eventually

is it me or is it 2ksports? are they ever going to fix this issue as i would love to play online.. it was pretty fun while it lasted even though it was really laggy.

It is 2K sports. I was feeling excited too playing at 5 FPS. Think about if the game was atleast giving some descent FPS. I dont understand what the problem is over there. Cannot make a simple functioning multiplayer option for so many installments? What year is this?

after a minute of waiting for a match i give up. idk how hard is it for 2k to put in lobbies, the trend has been the game gets better the online gets worse. go figure.
