to clear up a few things... even if u play in rookie difficulty in the internet and your ping will be high you wont be able to hit ft's.
the speed can be a cause of :
1) distance between you and your buddy your playing against!
2) your internet speed (duh)
3) his internet speed
a bit of solutions to make less laggy gameplay and easier to hit (but not always) ft's:
close all open programs and CLOSE ALL ACTIVE DOWNLOADS! the more free bandwidth and memory you have the better the gameplay!
another tip is trying to locate a buddy that lives in your country or in a close place!
and if u are realy despert and have a lot of money buy the most expensive internet connection.
however, there is no patch that can fix this! this is a very common problem and mostly you can check how high is your ping by the time it takes the little ball on the free throw shooting to stop after you press shoot button, the more it takes him to stop the more ping you have.
it mostly will be causing some lag in the game as well and dont worry about it some days are better some days are worse!
