Ready To Put My Fist Through Something...

[McBoller]

I just played the cheapest, dirtiest, ahole on madden ever. And the worst part is he used the Ravens against me. I hit play now and this guy at level 1 with a 42-102 record popped up so I figured, easy victory, right?
So the guy starts off with an onsides kick and off course recovers it. He uses the exact same wishbone formation almost the entire game. He used a 3-1-1 and a 2-2-1 twice each, but the rest was a 1-2-2 wishbone. He literally went up and down the field on me and I was powerless to stop him. I played the saints and Drew Brees got injured on his 2nd attempt, which was also a pick(this first of my 6 picks). So now I get Mark Brunell. He blitzes almost every down and i burn him a couple times, but overall hes owning me.

Now comes the bad part. Im down 14-35 in the 4th. He scores a cheap TD on me and GOES FOR TWO and gets it. Then he recovers an onside kick and passes the ball with less than a minute left and I pick him...gets what he deserves, right? Very next play I run the ball knowing I cant catch up. He forces a fumble and throws another TD and yet another 2pt conversion, and lo and behold ANOTHER onsides kick with less than 30 seconds.

I wish there was a button to quit the game early and make people like that lose.

I normally dont get uppset about video games, and I dont play that often, but this guy had my blood boiling. Gotta take a break for a couple days now, lol.

At least you know if you play [i]me[/i], you'll get a fair game. I've pushed everyone to their limit thus far.

Just ask J-Man; I gave him one of the most dramatic games either one of us has ever had.

[McBoller]

I just couldn't believe he was running the exact same formation 15 times in a row and he'd only do three things with it. Hand off to rice. Throw to heap Dow the seam or hit mclain in the flat off play action. The insides kicks and 2pt attempts when he's already up 21 had me fuming.
Another thing, I hope the ravens pullbof what this guy did to me. Mcclain outrunning two CBs, foxworth has three picks and gooden a behind the back no look pick

It's funny, but the way I play almost exactly mirrors the Ravens -- Ray Rice, Ray Rice, and Ray Rice. lol.

If you'll recall, I hit the halfback on half my plays. Even ones where he wasn't supposed to run a route, I had him run one anyway. My offense is built around the halfback. J-Man tried to take him out the equation, but didn't work.

I'm starting to spread the ball around more now, though. Keep things interesting. Plus, it always comes in handy to know how to go deep when you really need to by practicing it when you don't.

Maybe the Raves should be doing this in game!

That sucks but let it go. He's probably found a trick or something in the game that'll get corrected in an update.

I got over it in about five minutes, LOL. But I posts this literaly right after it happened. Qhatvwas worse is he was playing man to man most of the game on d but demes to know exactly where I wanted to go. Every time I'd look ford a receiver running away from his man he'd control the guy directly in line with the pass and deflect or pick it. And every time I tried to do a toss play he'd tackle the an before he got it out of his hands, that never happens in real life, not five or six times in the same game.

If I'm playing online and the person comes out on the 1st kick-off with an on side kick and recover it, I quit. You are playing a glitcher not a Madden player!

first one I can understand for the element of surprise but if they go for it 2+ more times in a row after that... yeah I would be calling them cheap too
