This is getting call of duty up in here. I guess a wired connection makes you better? I'm just asking. Basically I need to build studio to play? What's the world coming to when baseballs not the American past time.

I've used wifi this year and last and between both years I've been in 2 freeze offs.
-
I use WiFi and have experienced exactly 1 freeze off in 3 years.

Ping is everything.

I can almost guarantee wireless doesnt cause freeze offs. Disconnects from time to time yeah. Maybe you will get lucky and he loses connection on your freeze off.
I understand that. But EVERY single freeze off that I've experienced this year has been when my opponent is the Home the and they confirm that theyre on WiFi.
That's because most people use wifi. That's just how most people's set ups are. Way easier. The majority isn't on monitors at a desk with everything hardwired like me and some others.

My wifi is fine and I don’t get in to freeze offs.
I can also D/L things in the background without experiencing lag or freeze offs in The Show or other games.
LOL....I DO NOT want to match up with you. You the problem

I know zero people who play console games or PC that use wifi. Literally zero.

Many people do. Don't be silly.

If you don't have the bandwidth to play online gaming and download something in the background then YOU are the problem. 10-15 mbps is all you need to play online game. So if you have 100mbps internet plan then simple math tells you that you have the bandwidth to support both.... and in the end the actual connection/routing/infrastructure of your internet is much more important than the D/U speeds. So many ISPs have highly congested networks that cause sluggish gameplay. Xfinity for example has way too many people on the string of IPs available. eg. 192.168.1.1 domain and then the IPs it can hand out 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 etc etc.
But yeah..... its 2021. Almost every ISP basic starter internet plan has enough bandwidth to support online gaming and downloads via another device.

Ok... so you know everyone that I know? No. You dont. I KNOW 0 PEOPLE who use wi-fi to game online. It's not hard to setup a hardwire. Install ethernet outlets or if you cant do that just get a powerline adapter.

Same here, but I also know that we are in the minority.

I'm pretty sure you have a causal co worker that you don't really talk to that has wifi go a head ask every person you know someone will say yes do it do it now

I had a friend who complained about choppiness and lag playing CoD awhile back. I came in with my truck and tools and hardwired his console; night and day.
-
I use my internet hardwired with good upload and download speeds. Unfortunately my ping is somewhat high and it makes playing this game online difficult at times.
-
To be honest, I wouldn't say this is an "unpopular opinion", I would say it's an ignorant one. My WiFi is faster than most people's wired connection. I run a MESH wireless network with 3 AP's and get over 600 Mbps on my wifi devices throughout my house. My ping times are very low.
-
I use WiFi.
There you go
-
People are aware that there are areas with terrible internet especially out in the boonies. Also, I know plenty that use WiFi. I did for years as my hardwired connection was in our second bedroom until a couple of years ago until I had it moved down to the basement.

Ok, I'll revisit my original post with this: Game ended due to a Friendly Quit and didn't count; so I have no clue what happened.
Now, I have to try to get a win with a Cardinals SP AGAIN or I need to try to see if I can get the 7 inn Wainright pitching mission and Play vs CPU on AS modes to actually work.
Now, the guy messaged me and said he was sorry about the freeze off, but evidently he was in a college dorm, as he said the reason the connection was bad is that other people in the dorm were also playing online and doing school work.
So, IF YOU'RE USING WIFI ABD MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE ALSO USING THAT SAME SIGNAL, DONT WASTE SOMEONE'S TIME TRYING TO PLAY ONLINE
What it's going to come down to is that I'm going to stop playing online all together and the first time I can't get a certain card, due to this reasoning, I'm hanging it up for the year.
Not worth the frustration.

I’ve had AOL dial up for about 20 years now. I’m hardwired in. I lose connection a lot, always causing freeze offs

Wifi if i am playing in my living room and hard wire if in my game room/bedroom
