Been playing this game since last friday and online is still a laggy shit show. Its basically impossible to play online with the amount of lag, you have to release shots well before the animation says to.
Every year this same problem exists, its frustrating.
I had the same problem with my outside SG in 2k16. Since I am pretty proud of my timing skills this just does my head in and I switched (like literally everyone else) to a mutant 7'3 center grabbing rebounds and going in for the dunk. 700 games played in Pro-Am and can't get myself to buy 2k17 although my whole team is giving me a hard time because they have to get by without a center.
edit: does it still have the 'waiting for opponent' problem?
