Long Casual Queue Times

[AdeptOfMemory_PSN]

I've noticed the past couple of days the queue times for casual have gotten increasingly longer. Usually the rating slider doesn't go above 500-600 but yesterday and the day before it was getting to 1000 before finding a game now it's taking exceptionally long times past 2500+

Because nobody wants to play casual when there’s things to do in the game

Yeah let's go with that

Maybe SDS should actually invest in better servers, graphics, gameplay, and just maybe the game wouldn't be irrelevant by June.

@jake98833 H2H Casual is always irrelevant.

I'm just waiting to see the bargain bin sale prices that will happen when you know what drops in July. I wonder what the apologists will say when the game/cards are given away to drive up player counts.

I think you are giving EA sports too much credit here. Have you played anything made by them in the past 10 years? Pure trash man. People that play MLB The Show for the most part play because they like baseball. Ncaa football coming out won't change that anymore then when madden comes out or any other game. My opinion anyways.

[BJDUBBYAH_PSN]

@Cubsfan217 your opinion is shared. I haven’t touched an EA or 2k game since 2014.

[BJDUBBYAH_PSN]

@jake98833 given the fact that the majority of complaining comes from the offline only crowd on this forum, I don’t anticipate any issues with online H2H matchmaking.

And for offline, well, the CPU is always ready for a game.

We'll see what happens in July my friend, I think you guys are giving the corporate stooges at SDS/Sony too much credit.

@jake98833 I’m not giving anyone credit. I’m just playing a video game.

I got nba 2k23 and put $20 in then realized that it's all pay to play and deleted the game from my switch. I can't stand games that force you pay to play

I got 2K24 on sale recently. It's shamelessly worse with the pay to win. MyPlayer is still stuck at 73 Ovr, because I refuse to buy VC to upgrade, lol.
EA tries to F up NHL, and F1, but they're still good. I don't care for College anything, so NHL would be the only game I'd run to, yet I haven't played it all week for some reason. Oh, yeah. Trying to advance in the XP path here!

Exactly. People so hyped for NCAA seem to think thats gonna revolutionize sports games or something when the reality is, EA has owned the NFL license for 20 years now and in that time, other than the hit stick, they've done nothing to improve the presentation that people have been begging for (halftime shows, sideline interviews like 2K was doing in 2005, etc) and the gameplay improvements have been minimal.

My guess is 2 weeks after launch, people will be in here saying its the same game as it was 20 years ago with better graphics and more microtransactions.

@jake98833 It's casual.. how many times when this game has been up to your standard have you played casual mode?

In 22 I could boot up a casual game in a minute or two from my own experience anyway I suppose it could vary from region to region.

This game was legitimately the best sports game for over a decade, but let's not pretend like QA, gameplay, and the general content structure haven't taken a nose dive since the move to multi plat.
