MCT Downshifting Behavior

After a week driving around, I love the car even more than on the first day (and I'm not done with the break-in yet). In M mode, I also love the fast upshifts of the MCT but when I downshift below 2500-3000 rpm, the throttle blip doesn't happen all the time and the tranny tends to slide to the lower gear (especially to 1st and 2nd gear) as opposed to be crisp like it is for upshifts. This issue doesn't seem to happen if the rpm is above 3000 or when the transmission is in C, S or S+. Have others experienced the same issue? Will it get better over time or is it the way it is? Thanks!

I think the transmission in our cars takes throttle position into account more than it should in situations like you've outlined, so it'll stay generally the same.
