Did you waste your money on 2k2um 360?
Hmmmm as a KOF fan, you have my sympathy.
You should leave a comment with your country, state, town and ID so someone in your area can offer you a challenge.? You need people nearby otherwise it’s a lag fest.
I can divide up this list, should it get messy.
You should also check the news 2k2um forum thread for people near you, although you might not be able to read past the netcode cussing.? Note that a lot of pro SNK sites are giving good reviews,? are you suprised that we didn’t?? We don’t want you to waste your money.? We want SNKP to listen, we want good netcode.
DON’T BUY THE GAME TILL THE NETCODE IS IMPROVED.

Nope. I never intended to get it in the first place. 😛
To give my two cents here: I doubt we will see a patch for 2002 UM. Since none of SNK’s games on the Arcade ever got updated… Ever. Unless you have god-speed internet, you’re gonna have some lag in all of them.
Though I will say that NGBC’s netcode is noticeably superior from that of 98′ & Garou. So, they ARE improving. Hopefully, they’ll be experienced enough by the time XIII hits consoles.
Don’t worry about the interview, I’m not interested until they are specifically talking about outside Japan. And, that was before the game release, so testing period is over…. the game is done so they don’t have to do anything unless they want to keep customers happy.
Let’s hope they keep working, as 2k2um is a great step forward!
lol srry i didnt do my homework and assumed. I guess it really was SNK (stupid bastards lol). the Net code testing thing im talking about they’ve said in an interview about XIII and 20002 unlimited match- console versions. I’ll try to find it for u since it was so long ago when i read it. Right now im excited for XIII console release (and hope SNk dosent screw it up and least make it close to 2002 UM but with some improvements)
Woah,
A lot of Detroit love.
Where were you guys when I was at MSU and my room was basically Neo Geo/KOF fighters central.
-M
Ignition screwed XII up? Woah there, you need to take that back – Ignition was responsible for publishing – and they did a terrific job. They talked to the fans, they listened and they tried their best to get SNK to fix the code – they tried so hard in fact, that they complained about SNKP, which is when SNKP shut them up and we never heard from Ignition again.
Where did you hear this information about SNKP saying they will keep on testing etc?
SNK says their testing new ways of making the netcode bettter (not 2002 UM particularly). They said 2002 is a test-like netcode they worked on. When they find out how it is (CUZ THEY HAVE TO KNOW) the new manager says they will keep on testin to get the most positive response from fans. They also said that a TERRIBLE netcode is no excuse for SNK or any company, saying that “XIII will do thier best to offer the best netcode by them” (seeing how Ignition screwed XII up). To me none of SNK nts were TERRIBLE. NeoGeo BC is same as 2002 UM to me. (played a friend when i got the game yesterday. but what Ignition did for XII was just…..wrong… (i didnt really like XII tht much tho)
I do get the lag issue but its definately not because of country. All I know is you’re totally right with it not being like BB netcode which is almost a 9.3/10 to me. in the long run i guess it dosen’t matter to me cuz i dont play for rank. (cuz to me its all about numbers, any and every game is almost like this. So you might be better than the top player but not get as much numbers and never prove it)
But this is obviously not the worst netcode. All i know is that I seen WAAAAAAAY worse!
I’ve now witnessed it for myself. I’m on a fibre optic 10mb line in London, UK. I had a fight with someone @100ms. It was literally playing underwater. I drowned. I then played someone in the UK and it was much better, but I still had to play psychic – there was still noticeable input lag, which is why people get hit by fireballs all day – they can’t roll, they can’t even block. KOF is not SF, a much slower game. Blazblue is FASTER than KOF. If BB didn’t have good netcode it would be an absolute rapefest.
Compared to XII, this is definitely improved Netcode. However, it’s nothing compared to GGPO, Supercade or Blazblue’s netcode and at this stage, you are not playing KOF.
Netcode aside, it’s a wonderful game to own, if you’re not some kid who’s spoiled by luscious XII/SFIV graphics. The default settings make the KOF sprites look like crayon scribblings on a HDTV.
Fought many matches from people from at least three different countries/continents, from Detroit, MI area, very little lag if at all. Have to disagree with the netcode for 2k2UM being bad. Lag happens, but it happens for me with every fighter I’ve got (latest SF, Tekken, BB, etc). Totally agree this needs to be on the PSN; but other than that, after importing the Tougeki ver. for PS2, it’s good to finally have American/NA players get a hold of this and create competition on this side of the planet. Not a waste of money at all.
Oh, and my GT is the same as my name (DarkDreamT2)
Country-USA
State- NY
City-NY
Not a waste at all. Remember, lots of people don’t have 2k2 UM machines near them or Japanese compatible PS2s. This is a great get even with the lag.
Country- USA/ State- Michigan/ City- Detroit (ps- if u feel like reading this long story lol-)
XBL-A: xAKUM3TSUx PSN- well mines complicated lol
Actually I basically think my money was well spent. I never had enough money for NeoGeo Battle Colliseum or KOF 2oo2 UM and when it came to xbox i was glad (but it is weird that its not on PSN at all…but who cares) I have to say other than 2003 and XI.
Lag…well you experience that in all games even BB even SST4. So lag is not a biggy to me. If a game lags it just lags. I say this netcode is DEFINATLEY better then XII thats for sure. While watching my bro playing online (not me yet still training) he wasnt lagging at all. In fact he even fought someone from Osaka Japan (yeah that far away) and NO lag which surprised me lol! Their were i guess 2/10 matches he played he’d experiance input lag and our connection u could say is a 7/10 at best. Our connection wasnt obviously the best but still not enough lag enough to make me say FUCK THIS GAME!!!.
We live in the highest part of America and the most poor state. (WE STILL DONT HAVE THE HIGHEST SPEED FOR INTERNET) and i gotta say the KOF 2002’s connection is not the best but definately not the worst id rate it from 8.5/10.
I do get everyones anger about this not coming to PSN cuz id rather have bought it on there. but the connections is NOT as bad as these guys are making it out to be. And i hate the 360 for its exclusivity but thats just something we all have to live with. SNK has done a good job just with this game. BUT this game is not bad. NO COMPANY IS PERFECT. (ESPECIALLY EPIC GAMES LOL) u guys shudnt give up on it coming for ps3 if u want it so badly. just it coming to 360 is not the end im just saying THIS IS NOT A WASTE OF MONEY ON ANY PLATFORM OR NETCODE! This is just my report.
