only options we have are quick ranked matches, but those arent on hall of fame difficutly, so how do we get to the lobbies? were the lobbies taken out of this years edition?

Probably because the game is not officially out yet. Check in on tuesday.

It's entirely possible that could be the case. Games have street dates for a reason. I wouldn't be suprised if the option were to be released via time-lock or a release day update.

It's definitely because the game isn't meant to be out until the 7th, they probably don't even have the server up and running yet. Back when people got 2k8 early, they had the same problem with no online mode until the official release date hit.

actually there will be no lobbys because the people at 2ksports got tired of people sitting in them not playing games is what i was told..i know this because a person like myself that has the game early his brother works for EA..but yea that is why kinda sucks

hey Jdizzle314 might be right, there are people like that. they just sits in the lobby and don't want to accept any challenge. my rank is in the hundredths but i don't sit in the lobby all day. hey what he said might be true, im going to forward this message in the lobby today. because of them there might not be any lobby.

How do you play with 3 people on one console vs. 3 people on a different console??? Last year you had to go to custom lobby and you could see who had guests with them before sending a challenge......
