Forgive me any mistakes in this post, it is my first.
I've been playing MKD for over a year now only against the computer and one friend of mine. At first i loved it without really knowing why. Soon after though, i started to see things happen that really pissed me off and so i would stop playing for a week or two, and then come back to it. It's been that way ever since. At one point i hated the game to the point where i was about to smash the disc and not buy a new one to replace it with. However, i stopped myself and after calming down realized that it's not me: the game is somehow flawed. I learned to accept the flaws and enjoy the game for it's own sake, and i love it to this day in spite of its shortcomings. Recently i began playing online and found a brand new world of aggravation and stress induced by this game, while also finding moments of deep satisfaction. That is what led me to MKO. After reading these forums on this site i've come to understand the nature of my love-hate relationship with MKD: the game is truly, truly broken on many levels. The worst in my opinion is the shocking revelation by Check in this post from a few months ago:

this is by far the worst glitch in the game
you folks are never going to believe this
im not even sure how to explain this, ill be brief... there are things that player 1 can do that player 2 cant. now im pretty sure this pertains to offline only, but im going to check it out later with thug and see
certain combos only work when the controller is plugged in on the second side, including shujinkos 111cs infinite. on the first players side, shujinko can only do 2, 3 max but is nearly impossible to do. player 2's side can do 5 or 6 with ease
sindels 100% combo can only be done when the controller is plugged into the first players side. DOES NOT WORK FOR PLAYER 2
the enitre movements of the characters is different. player 2 has more reach and moves faster, but cannot attack and switch styles and attack as fast. and vice versa for player 1. player 1 moves " normal" has less reach, but can more of the better known combos easily, with the exception of a few. ( kenshis 56% works every time for player 2, player 1 maybe 20% of the time )
floor combos, which were found by me, are otgs off the wall as they land. DO NOT work for PLAYER 2. that is a huge advantage for player 1, but at the same time, a huge advantage still for player 2, as player 2's attacks come out first and have more range < --- there really is no downside to this, player 2 is who u wanna be in the fight
this is all yet to be tested online. but i am GUARENTEED this is the case offline, as i went in versus mode and checked for myself
every single person should ask for their money back for this piece of shit game, this is beyond bullshit.
i dont have a complete list, but i surely could make one, would take me a while, but its no problem. combos like liu kangs b2, cs, 11, 11, 113, cs, 11b1 only work for player 2's socket.
ill get working on this, i hope u all can understand what it is im tellin you.
any help with this would be appreciated, i want boon and company to know about this, because this is a fuckin joke
(Check's sig is: PLAY TO LOSE. I wonder if he thinks that's exactly what we all did when we purchased this game.)
Do i care about the character imbalances and free throws? Yes. Do i care about nearly useless tech rolls? Yes. Do i care about people using infinites to make up for the beating they're taking and come back to win the round? Yes. Do i care about stage glitches, i.e., health recovery, loss of damage percentages? Yes. But understand this: i play the game anyway, and DEAL with it all because the fact remains that i love MKD over all others, and i know that some of you out there feel the same way. I'm happy to be a part of the Mortal Kombat community and i look forward to meeting some of you online, especially the fanatics who seem to devote most of their waking lives to this game between all of the practicing of characters and combos and boards and player slots and online/offline comparisons, recording, editing, and posting videos, etc. Don't stop. Your efforts pay off by helping to create more informed, better prepared, and more challenging opponent, which is what all true competitors want: A challenge! Away with the Five Move Wonders out there and in with the Warriors who can utilize a characters arsenal with skill and expertise. Personally, i put my time in on practice mode and against the computer on MAX, and i feel prepared to stand and fight to the best of my ability WITHOUT free throws, breakers, OTG's, corner pins, 50/50's, abusing stun moves, or turtling ( i know it's all part of the game, but that doesn't make for the most enjoyable of fights--i've found--and i look for others to do the same, though it's idealistic.) Armageddon is coming, my friends, and excitement is in the air. For better or worse, the one thing i hope for is that is has what Deception has for me, and that is: The ability to make me love it, in spite of all its flaws.
all combos that end w/ 4 in 1st stance. 
49ers: 2-1. They will go 10-6 and win the NFCW. Just Touchdowns O'Sullivan Is the next montana.
