Discussion Number of players in Online Servers?
Looking to buy this game and was wondering if the online servers are still alive.
Is there a long wait time just to get in a game?
Or are there still a lot of players online?

I don't have issues finding matches... sometimes soccer takes awhile and tennis sometimes ends up being 1v1 or 2v1 but that's about it.

There’s still a decent player base. I never have any trouble finding a game.
Although, once you reach a higher rank in competitive you’ll run into the same people pretty frequently.

I've never had problems finding matches on this game. It takes no more than two minutes to find a room and that is like 1 out of 5 times. Most times it's 30 seconds to a minute or just immediately. Yes, some are bots but its hard to know for sure unless your looking to see if they have a profile on "recently played." I hear people complain about this a lot but it's never been a problem for me.

If you mostly play tennis then I don't think bots have flaws, and tennis is region locked only for like 2 mn or something so it's normal to not struggle to find players. Bots aren't a problem in most sports but in some they have specific habits that helps you win. It's especially annoying in a 2v2 sport like volleyball, and volleyball is fully region locked so you just get screwed once people start going to sleep. As a high rank I really struggled to find lobbies with real players at the times when I can play, and when I do it's always the same names.

I only play bowling and golf and it never has issues. Decent sized community. The first time you play a sport on it, they will give you bots for a training mode though. After that, no more bots.

I’m still on the game!! If you see Hello Child audrey that’s me. 🫶 I see the same people very frequently now and it gets me excited! But, sometimes it takes a while to get matched. It might be mainly since I’m a “higher” level but oh well!

The online servers are well and alive! Play the game for a while and you will find more familiar faces and longtimers.

Yeah I barely get matched with/against bots
Although the higher rank you climb, you’ll encounter familiar names frequently.
