Long story short, I am really just getting my ass kicked online. Mainly, because my settings that I play with offline, do not match those of the settings that are standard online. This being said I have completed a total of 5 games so far with three disconnects, for a total of 8 games. It would seem that if I gain a slight lead or a manage to keep the game tied for more than the first five minutes of the game, gamers are disconnecting.
Not like I expected much more than this anyway. Gamers don't like to lose, and thus they either adapt and get better, which few do; the remaining find exploits within the games' AI. In sports titles this is the largest issue, gamers use star players that never fatigue and rarely exhibit cold streaks. So for the last five games I have been playing against individuals who use the full-court press and double team exploits for the duration of the game.
Though I have found a way to beat both exploits, my major problem with CHOOPS online is the latency issues that affect shooting. Granted it's a problem, but one has to wonder if this is something that has to do with the VIP recording functions from the 2K server. I certainly hope not, but I just can't help feeling that this is what's happening.
In summary, my lofty goal of 35 games is being reduced to 12 maybe more if I can get a win streak started. The (I am getting owned online stats) Stats:
Record: 0-5
Rank: 5949 (this is the leaderboard rank)
