Holy shit the new Netcode is awesome. I received my beta code Thursday or Friday night along with the rest of the first wave of PS4 guys, but due to a prior engagement was unable to really tear into it until tonight. I played a few games the night I received the code, but with max rollback, along with the fact that I am terrible with the initial four characters, I was not able to properly judge the Netcode, nor did I have the time or energy to do so.
Unfortuneately, spending an entire week off of MKX wreaked havoc on my execution, but for the first time in this game's lifespan I felt as though any matches I lost were due to the fact that I got outplayed by genuinely better players or tactics while playing online, without a shred of online unaccountability.
It brough a tear to my eye to go against the occasional Cryo Sub, accustomed to winning by scrubby online tactics without any knowledge about how the game actually works, and wreck that shit. Sub Zero's slide is now punishable online, guys!
Anyways, just chiming in to say that the future looks bright for this game w.r.t. Online. Incredible undertaking by NRS.
