I can see that.
2013 wasn't exactly a big year for fighters. There was Injustice, DOA5U, Killer Instinct, and Divekick.
Divekick is a joke, and DOA is just an update to a 2012 game. As for Killer Instinct, I haven't played it to judge yet, but even if it's gameplay is a little better, it's extreme lack of content at this juncture will bring it down a few pegs in a lot of people's eyes.
The one thing that's always held back MK games the most is that the characters aren't as unique and different from one another as they are in games like Street Fighter, KoF, and Tekken. Especially in Arc Systems games.
But Injustice shows some improvement in that area. There are more characters that feel vastly different from the others than in any other Ed Boon game. And I'm not just talking about the big dudes.
They still have a ways to go to catch up to the big dogs in terms of depth, but it's improving with each iteration. MK wasn't at EVO for nothing.
The biggest point is that this game is just FUN. Especially if you're a comic fan. That's why so many casual fans and even quite a few hardcore fighting game fans like it. If you just relax, and don't try to compare it to the street fighters and tekkens and just take it for what it is, you will have a blast.
And that's why people would be willing to elect Injustice FGotY
