The funny thing is here that everyone knows the online is better in other games yet people fight so hard against people that want to improve it. I don't get it.
Poll is asking people to boycott MKX, one of the biggest fighting games that will come out on the new current gen if the online isn't amazing or to their opinion of liking........just b/c people have shitty walmart connections does not mean the online is imperfect.....sounds like to me people need to stop whining and level up their ISP's.........yeah......
 
Yes, we have a part to play in how the game plays online, but that doesn't mean the game shouldn't meet us half way.

Even if you have a really good connection that works decently for MK9 online, if you use that SAME connection in Injustice, you will have slightly less latency. There IS a difference, and it's proof NRS can do things to improve their net-code quality independent of our personal router setups.

I'm not changing my router every time I switch from Injustice to Killer Instinct. I'm using the same internet connection, and getting less latency when I play a different game. It's obviously not just my problem that Injustice doesn't work great online.

If they have the same level of improvement they did from MK9 to Injustice when MKX comes out, we should have a decent online experience.

wired cable cat 6 cables NON DSL 30 down 6 up or better or gtfo
Also what really bothers me is that you placed top 8 at evo. People listen to you dude... if you're running around saying the online is fine, get a new connection people will listen. It's not fine...

I have a 30+ mb down 15+ mb up connection. I do connect through a short ether net wire now. I don't get "lag" as in lag spikes and etc. It's a delay in inputs. Everything is smooth but input delay is too prevalent. It is so much better in other games as mentioned by a lot of plsyers.

I didn't vote on the poll. I'm going to buy the game, I do have an offline scene here. I'm just saying the online can be better and the best connection in the world won't help it play any better in its current state.

it won't make it perfect, but it will help. Can't expect a great netcode to work with a shitty connection

WB/NRS reaction when they see this online petition.


When will people understand that theres no money in fighting games for the game developing company? EVERYTHING that NRS or any other fighting game company has ever done to fix and enhance the experience for a "fighting game community" (along with any pot bonus ever given) is just charity. Theres no return on that investment, the game isnt going to fly off the shelves and rake in millions because "we have trades and universal throw tech" People will buy mortal kombat because its mortal kombat. I'm grateful for what we get, when we get it.

BTW, online works great for me most of the time, but that depends on who im playing against. Theres no way its the same thing as offline, but its pretty close, and sometimes just takes a few minor adjustments to land the more difficult combos.

How would you compare it to other games though? Seriously street fighter is way more responsive online than injustice is. There's just so many factors that add up when the frames of lag stack on.

Injustice isn't the perfect netcode, but its great when you have two strong connections. I guess since theres so many things to process in the background , the bar for a working connection is set higher than other games.
