I have come here representing an elite group of online Mortal Kombat players. We are concerned with the quality of the online play of MK8. If its anything like MKA was than lord help me. Firstly, I think a new server is in order. All the games I play are so laggy you can barely hit anything on anyone. Its even harder seeing as Im in canada, and most of the players are in the states, on the east coast(im on the west). It's already hard enough for me to get a decent connection with someone, but when my hits and throws are going right through them it really discourages me from even picking up the game.

secondly, Please test this game a little more thoroughly this time if possible. There were many glitches that were left in such as AC's(33's) and this new one which was just recently found, the sub Zero Impale Glitch that was left in from previous MK games.

Notice how the life even drains slowly as well. We need to know that we can play a fair online game of MK8. The players I am representing are without a doubt the best MK players online. If you guys were to jump online I'm sure that you would agree with me. So please midway, for the sake of your online gamers, we do have faith in you, but please Don't make MK8's online Play like you did MKA's. Thank you very much.

GREAT POST SHUJINKYDINK! I completely agree. I'm sure everyone knows this game was an obvious attempt to get whatever money they could out of us before the next gens took over. I know its business, so I aint mad about that. But, if I can ask Midway to do one thing for MK8, it will be to TEST THE GAME ONLINE!!! Im sure its not a big deal to the average player but what about the MK players that play the game on a regular basis!?

Is there anyone that posts here that works with midway?


@ Dink - dude, I dont think midway knows what an AC or 33 is.

I would post a link to Red's site because its clearly the best for glitch videos and such. I just don't know how he feels about sending his website around.

Um I didn't have any problems playing MKA online. Well except for reptile's dashing elbow move or whatever. For some reason when you play online it NEVER connects the elbow part. He would just run past them, turn around and swipe at the air. Other than that I didn't lag or have any other problems playing online.

No problems with the online modes here...though as with every online game, problems start when they release the game since that's the actual test..so, patches may be released in order to fix any possible glitch..

Though maybe that's because I'm not an elite player..even when I've been with MK since 1992.. tongue

Only problem that I had was people quitting before they lose to have a ridiculous perfect record.

Anybody with a TV and a game system can play MK.

I'm just saying the notion of "THE BEST" MK players ALL being located from Canadia is just ludicrous.

I'm not dissing your "Country", I'm just saying.

It's not prejudice, it's realism.

You read his post wrong man. Dink resides in Canada and represents a group of elite players from all over(who knows where they are all from).

Anyone here play on xbox? If so what are your tags??

I doubt air kombat will return, it was unrealistic matrix crap. I live in Canada, we do got a lot of great players here.

I do hope Midway doesnt drop the ball with this game. I started with MKD and loved it (even though its filled with glitch crap). Then I got MKA, liked it for a month or 2, then wanted to throw it out. Obviosuly quantity over quality. They already got my 50 bucks though so Im sure they could care less.

MIDWAY! IF YOU HAVE TO RELEASE MK8 A YEAR LATER TO GIVE US A QUALITY GAME PLEEEAAAASE DO SO!
