Don't mess with The POODLE
And this is why I don't play online. I'm glad that it wasn't one of the selling points for me..

they probably dont have the servers at full yet because the game is NOT supposed to be out to people yet.

Agreed.
I'll be going online more than usual with MK 9, but it's not a selling point for me.
The selling points, for me, are:
- Tag Team mode
- Challenge Tower
- Arcade Mode
- Story Mode
- Finding hidden secrets / hidden fights
You are not on the final production servers yet, they are likely dealing with swamped "review" servers due to the mass amounts of piracy the game is having. Once the day 0 release patch is out, it should then point you to the final game servers, do you have that patch yet?

This is the most common situation that always happens after a new game is released. I suggest using the first 2 weeks to train before you go online to give you some time to kill while the online operating system is being fixed to its optimum performance

dude if you have the game before release its expected to have bad connection would you waste money running a stable server for a week while no one is suppose to play it? i know i wouldnt its a waste of money on WB end, when the game releases its going to get worse, just like the release day of Halo Reach, the BETA alone crashed the servers just imagine the full release, i diddnt get to play a stable online game till like a week after release

Sorry to bring gloom and doom, but fighting games almost always use servers exclusively for matchmaking (finding an opponent).
Netcode is still one of the things that many developers seem to get wrong for fighting games (at least we're to the point where everyone expects online play, but unfortunately there are still plenty of examples of great implementations (Street Fighter 4) and bad implementations (Tekken 6, at least when it first came out (and for quite some time after)). I think in a lot of cases they consider it lower priority/something to worry about later/something that won't affect sales so much (as long as the box says it's present).
It's been shown many times that it's possible to have great netcode in the most intense of fighting games these days, as long as both players have a sound connection.
My biggest hope in case the developers didn't have time to really make online as good as it can be is that they at least are able to find the time/have the tech. to truly improve the netcode after release vs. do nothing or making tweaks that don't really address the core technical problems.
I will def. be a little let down if MK's online isn't ideal within a few weeks of release -- my friends who will play this with me are not around for local play (and I think this is prob. the case for many of us older MK fans). I would be content with this MK as a single-player package, but still...
My other hope is that NRS isn't just following the SF4 formula with this -- get this one out the door and add more content/improve features later via double or triple-dip re-releases (which can be highly profitable for companies but not so great for consumers (if we start having to buy three versions of our favorite games)). I don't think this is likely as they seem to have really crammed this one with great characters/content.
Praying for great netcode/online at release or soon after!
