    I decided to play this game after a month of not touching its online and trying the game out online again today guaranteed that I'm going to continue playing this game offline for now. Some matches worked just fine and I can't complain if I lost a match when things were working fine, but then other matches my inputs would come out delayed making it a chore to do BNBs at all. I had to basically reduce my game to being lame. Hell even triggering X-rays was a hassle I would literally be spamming my triggers and about two seconds later the x-ray would initiate. This shit sucks I'm fighting the netcode more so than the other player. They need to focus more on the online rather than DLC and fake balance issues.

    @ElBarto:  Ya know, I'm  almost ready to agree with you this DLC  shit has fucked the online up bad.    I really really like this game but fuck I can't even  bring myself to play online anymore which makes me super sad.

    I disagree,As someone who has played alot of MK online before and after the patch. I feel the online has been improved in leaps and bounds since the patch.

    I'm noticing less lag,And it doesn't take half a hour to get into a ranked match anymore.

    but that's just my experience i guess.

    The DLC stuff has borked the matchmaking for a lot of us, though. But I do agree with you that the lag isn't so much of an issue.

    I've had issues with lag and connectivity as well. But really, I find it unplayable because everyone online is way to good. Or they play as Ermac and spam the same moves over and over again.

    I gave up on the online because of the lag issues. It's a shame, because I would have played that game to death.

    I'm still having a horrible time online if not worst, I actually think it was better before the patches and what not, but it seems to vary among people...

    Okay, now I can't even connect online.    My stats reset and everytime I try to fetch leaderboards or my personal stats the game tells me  that it lost the connection when I know the Ps3 is still online.   =\ 
     
    Ugh.

    It WAS terrible, but from what I've seen in the last two days, it got 100% better.

    The lag can be horrible. Most games are a little slower than I'd like but every now and then I get a match with an amazing connection. I try to rematch that dude over and over again.

    It's been fuckin terrible for me.  Despite my alignment, I'm playing on Xbox and I haven't been able to get a game in a week.  If it's not De-syncin it the forever load into "the session is no longer available"  Fucking rediculous

    I have a friend who whenever he plays against someone who picks Sub-Zero and the game drops him right as the loading bar fills up. I think the lag issue varies person to person and what they might deal with. The game is running smoothly as far as movement and animations but my inputs are delayed is all.

    I'm in the same boat, I bought the PS3 version when it came out, I never got a chance to go online due to the PSN issue. And by the time online came back I couldn't go online anyway due to the online pass expiring, so I went fuck that and finished up the story mode and put it back on the shelf. Yesterday I felt the urge to play some MK though, so I went and got the online pass and the DLC costumes and went online. I was there for about 2 hours, in the last hour I got into a match with this one guy and they were great matches, so I stayed with him. The hour prior was just full of disconects and not singcing and breakups and it was really bad. I also relieased how rusty I was at MK, by K/D Ratio is 1/17!

    This is the fucking worst online experience I have ever had. Well over half of my matches either "desyncs" or "the match is no longer available". I spend so much more time trying to find a player and get into a match than actually playing the game. The game has been out for over 2 months and they still cannot find a way to fix this shit. I thought there was a patch to be released alongside Skarlet or something?
