Why don't you people play online???

[Bighoff]

Like a lot of people here I don't play sports games online cause of the cheese players, douches, and kids. Sometimes they'll all be represented in one player who talks so much junk and babbles that I want to respond with totally inappropriate things, so I figure it's better to not play them and keep my sanity. This year though I'm hoping to find some OS people to play against, I'd love to get some good games in.

I dont care what anyone says , no matter how good the connection is the game will never feel as good/tight as offline. And that is the biggest reason why I dont play online. I feel like there is a slight delay that (for me) messes with my stick-skills.

Dynasty's/Franchise's are more fun (IMO)

generally when i played online, people would get pissed at my setup. I'd run an option run with auburn with kodi burns as the quarterback along with tate and lester. People would just be up in arms about it because it's just so difficult to stop in their opinion.

On defense i run the 3-3-5 which gives me a lot of sacks because i usually send a line backer or so on nearly every play.

and whoever thinks auburn cant or shouldn't run the option is an idiot.

1) a)The lag last year was really bad when the game came out (remember kicking FGs?). I have great internet and don't have problems with other online games. I was discouraged when the connection was lost and it gave me a loss.
b) I love dynasty mode

2) I will play more online this year because of online dynasty.

That's a great idea ODogg, and it'd go a long way towards getting good sim style matchups any time of day or night in both Madden and NCAA and down the line even the basketball and hockey titles!

the lag made everything horrible to play with. I could remember trying to hike the ball on a pass play and i'd double snap and end up tossing a lob to whoever receiver a was just to get it picked off

So if you don't play online then answer me these two questions: 1. Why don't you play online? 2. What will it take to get you playing online? Thanks!

I leech wireless internet from a neighbor and don't want to splurge on an X-Box wireless thing.
