Recently grabbed this game finally due to being a huge fan of the series. Love the fact it covers all grounds relating to the series & extended the storyline/legend mode from the first one. Also love how they added extra characters too......just one thing pisses me off...

Seems the online play is extinct, which is peculiar considering the game was released in 2013 for the 30th anniversary of the series......I've never come across a PS3 game that has removed the online play so quickly....anyone know where I can find an explanation? I've googled it, finding nothing relating to the downed server.....any help would be dope, or anyone dropping 2 cents for liking this game feel free to respond...
