NBA 2K8 online PS3

[Scott MacFlaherty]

Is anyone else having trouble getting an online game to start for NBA 2k8? I can play online for all my other games, but for this one it just give me an error after i have accepted a challenge.
The error only says check the 2k website or the online FAQ which are both useless

The online is an absolute joke. Haven't been able to play one game.

The game itself is gold (absolute gold) but it has one of the worst online systems in any game.

The problem is with your router or modem, also the problem is that we are in Australia, you need to have a different NAT type than the one you would have.

You can go check out any game website and it will be the same for NBA 2K8, luckily my NAT type is one that works with it, but most Aussie modems and routers aren't.

I cant get this game to work online.

Period.

Only game ive had a problem with.

To be honest I'd say your not missing out on much, the online is a bit laggy, nothing too bad, although it is very hard to shoot from the field and you basically can only play an inside game, it's very tough to defend as well as the reaction is around 0.5sec behind when you tap the button or move the joystick, you can usually play through all that, but the people you play against almost always cheat, they will use the intercept from inbound to try and steal the ball off you, if you are behind by a couple of points late in the game they foul you, and shooting free throws is the HARDEST THING EVER online.

Overall it is a fantastic game but probably one that is better to be played offline or with mates at home or with a LAN connection.

Might be alright playing with people with relatively the same PING's but barely any Aussie's can get on as the NAT type problem exists with it.

Are we suppose to be on NAT2 to play this game? Because i configured it so i get NAT2 but still can't get online.

 

[WakeUpPies]

you cannot hit a single jumpshot online because we are in Australia so might as well not play online

I am not sure what NAT Type exactly, but mine is NAT1, and mine works fine.

thanks for outlining that dude. i have had so much trouble hitting jump shots online and dont even get me started on FT's. i was up by like 10 with 2mins to go in one game and the dude i was playing against intentionally fouled me and sent me to the line on every subsequent play. i couldnt hit anything, ended up losing. damn annoying.

I'm NAT type 2 as well and it still doesn't work.

Is the only way to get NAT type 1 by using a wired connection?

I can't find anything as to what NAT type this game needs

Thanks, but I'm not sure NAT is the problem

Thanks, but I'm not sure NAT is the problem

Well on my previous modem I had a different NAT Type but couldn't play it, I literally tried everything to get it working and ended up completly ____ing the modem, but now I have a new modem and the NAT1 and it works perfectly, so...

If anyone wants to know, my modem is a Motorola SB5101 SURFboard Cable Modem.

Honestly it might not be a NAT type problem, but talking to people overseas who have been able to play it and same with Aussies who haven't that is my conclusion, many people have different type of router that can be customised better, but I have come to the conclusion that the NAT Type is at least one reason as to why it won't work.

Yeah, it's a shit, I guess one good thing is the rating system, so you can put it down that they didn't play with good sportsmanship, and thats there for good, you have to watch out with who you play, try and look for people with good respect ratings and you should get a good game.
