MADDEN is maddening

[mick eye]

I was OWNING this newb with who else but my Panthers. Chump was using the J-Ets and trying to cheese me on every down. Long story short he somehow lost his connection. It was freaking ranked. I am so mad. I find it a little convenient his connection miraculously dropped after i intercepted a lame duck pass by Dirty Sanchez. ONLINE GAMING is a joke. Somewhere a 12 yr old punk unplugged his ethernet cable cause he did not want to give me a WIN. AAARGH.

I just saw yesterday that I couldn't challenge someone on my friends list to a ranked game. Go to hell EA, go to hell.

That's the only bad thing about NCAA 11 and Madden 11 is that the online thing this year is wack.

I saw that too. What a crock. They went back to like 2002 with the Madden Cards (ultimate team mode) Maybe it was there last year - I downloaded the Ultimate Team, but never used it.

What bothers me more than all this is the stats... so far, I've seen things such as 3 completions on 2 attempts, 17 yard rushes (2 rush, 15 yard facemask penalty) If you look at the scoring summary, it almost always says that team A scored when it was team B who scored - I've seen the scoring summary say 26-23, when the score was actually 33-16. I don't know how they got the stats so screwed up. Hopefully there's a fix for that in the works.

I conceded a game yesterday because I had to leave even though it was only the second quarter and I was winning. Could have just turned it off, but thats a real shitty thing to do.

i hear the new MLB game has screwed up online play options too. a friend says that he can't play with people not on his friends list.

You can play people on your friends list, just not in ranked games. If that was allowed people would be abusing that loop hole to get wins.

What's even more Maddening is that I can't user control two people at once to cover both flats, or the flat and the screen on the opposite side. And strat pad adjustments take way to long. I used to make like six adjustments per play and now I'm lucky to get 3 or 1 player reblitzed.

I use to play people in ranked games all the time on my friends list without any problems but I guess you'll always have some sorry nerds that want to cheat their way to the top of an electronical leaderboard that equates to no real achievement in real life.

Luckily EA is coming out with a patch so you can pick between the strat pad and the old way of setting up your defense, and the sooner the better.

So if you're playing a ranked match online on madden 11, if that player leaves... do you have to still play the AI or does it just give you a win and save your time?

If a person leaves you get the win and don't have to continue against CPU.
