Newest MK9 Patch (10/1/11)

Patch notes from a week or so ago here:

But now that the patch has been released and we can actually play the changes, what do you guys think? So far I’m really digging Baraka’s changes. Definitely going to hit up training mode with him and figure out his new stuff. Stryker’s feeling a hell of a lot more useful now too.

I hate it. I came back to Mortal Kombat after the patch, and I came to find that they broke the ranking system. I lose almost every ranked match I play because it’s not ranked anymore. I fought the 2nd best player overall on xbox live the other day. I have 150 wins and about 170 losses, and he had 8000 wins and 1000. This made me put the game back down. Player matches are also not an option because the few people who do still play online only play ranked. Truly a depressing day, yesterday was.

Hmm, MK on Xbox must be the bizarro version of PSN. Everytime I try to play ranked it takes ages to find someone, but there’s always at least one full room for player matches.

I’ve been getting just, a stupid amount of input lag. It’s flat-out unplayable for me online. Don’t know if it’s this patch, or the clunky-ness of the game, but I’m thinking about selling it.

I don’t have that problem. It may be your local internet if every single match is the same.

Not saying you’re wrong, but it’s one thing to lag like shit every other match and it’s another to have input lag every match after the patch.
