Online Impressions thread

Very difficult to find information about the online play. (are the servers even up yet?).

So, if they are, what are you enjoying about online play? How is the lag? Any quitters? etc?

Thought I just read a post where someone said not to use NZ online; presumed he was talking from exerience.

Is the online play regional on PSN?
Is there chat? more importantly is there an option to mute your opponent?

It's be interesting to see if this is the case. Certainly in FIFA this happens which is quite annoying. But seeing as the main countries who will play the game online, on console, will be England, Australia and New Zealand (do Indians even have Xbox live or PSN?) I'd assume people will play as their country.

But seeing as the bowling speeds are an issue still. This problem alone could see a lot of people choosing Australia since we have alot of quick bowlers in the game.

Has anyone actually played an online game?

I'd like to know how it ran i.e. was the gameplay smooth without lag?

Yes, Xbox's are actually quite popular here.

Besides, most Indians will be playing online on PC's, I presume.

Doesn't Xbox Live not exist though? India seems to always be mentioned as an exclusion every time it is mentioned.

Just played 2 online games both very laggy with bowling, when he releases ball it sort of stops starts stops so its almost impossible to time it. hopefully it was just my opponent who had bad connection if not then online is ruined.:

Thats what i thought. I've never seen an Indian on FIFA or anything. And thats saying something considering theres over a billion of the little rascals.

What is your connection? Where do you live?

I have a 20Mbps connection, if that is not enough then I am screwed
