as i have responded in a thread called "how good are you?" (or something like that of sort) of me saying in that said thread, specifically the part i said that my lvl is not a concern of me. (currently now a lvl 98), i just would like to say that. the bar upping hasn't made any progress, when i do earn xp during the online-verses matches, but the sound of it and earning points is still going. and i have checked that the next time i get to the next lvl (via checking my records), that it will take a very much long progress to reach the next lvl, not it concerns of me to get to the next lvl as i have said, just pointing it out. so it is indeed a half-way confirm that this is not a hack. due to my speculation, after the update download (of the lvl 99 badge).
