How is the game when playing online? If I remember correctly, there were some reports on laggy gameplay. And how much is the online restricted?

Yes - sometimes it gets laggy, and you can also only play singles against opponents on a random court.
Friends is better - it works more like the local play (though I never tried it - I have opened it up)
The game seems to only be played regionally, though, so someone like me can only connect to those who live in NA ~

Mine is very laggy, which causes me to lose alot :-[
Online sucks, Miis are broken.
I use Boo online and I've only ever lost to one person (Played about 15 matches to far). The person I lost to was a Mii in a Wiggler suit; it's the first game that lagged and I'm terrible with any kind of lag. He beat me 7-5.

I know, I absolutely hate lag!
I played online the day before today the leg made me lose 3 matches.
Watched some online matches. They looked bad. Well done Nintendo!
Whenever I get someone outside of the UK, I get LAG
Yeah, at times when playing online the lag is just HORRIBLE.
Not to mention the Rating system is absolutely screwed up. (The points system is fine, but the Rating system is bleh).
Seriously, Rating system is just ridiculous. You gain and lose points based on the amount of times you miss the ball or your opponent misses the ball. Because of this, it is VERY easy to lose points if you win. So unless you completely sweep them, you will probably lose points at the end of the match. This is especially the case for tied matches.
Which is stupid. The main idea is to get a good match (making it as fair and close as possible) but the Rating system HATES that. If you get in a close match, you will guarantee a lost in points, so why even bother to win? Might as well disconnect at that point (or do something nice, like give them a win and disconnect at the last second, although that may still be quite rude).
But this is only the case when your Rating/Points is higher (because when it is lower, you can only get 2 successful shots and actually gain points if you lose, this is entirely possible).
But it is sooo much better with friends. Because you can actually play doubles and even play on the Galaxy Court stages. Although, it is based on the host's characters, so the host better have unlocked all the characters as well as their Star counterparts.

This is one of the most negative comments that I would like to say. Nintendo restricting the worldwide feature and only I face players in Australia and New Zealand only, it's just pathetic. I never tried online yet, but I know it looks stupid as I can preview it. I really wanted to face Yoshiman222 in the past, but that's not gonna happen. That's why I gave this game a decent review last month.SuperZambezi said:
