Sore loser does endless intentional false starts....

[Gladbird]

So I'm playing this guy who uses Florida, and plays like a complete fool (hurry-up offense after every down, permanent shotgun, goes for it on 4th and 25), on one of his dumb calls, I totally read his offense and pick-barned it. Its now 10 - 7 in my favor (I'm using UCLA), and on the ensuing kickoff, he purposefully ran out of bounds at the 5 yard line, and is now continually chaining false starts.

So he's on his own 1 yard line, but the false starts can't move him back anymore than he already is. I assume he's just pissed that I'm leading him with his crummy offensive strategy and my inferior team, and just wants me to get fed up and leave. There is NO WAY I'm rewarding this guy for being such a poor sport.

What can I do?

UPDATE:

Since I was on defense through this entire period, I just put my controller down and had the computer auto-select a defense for me, rather than be preoccupied with endless false-starts. Here's where it gets interesting.

FINALLY I get a message saying that I have been removed from the game for "excessive delay." I don't know who gets the win or loss or if it counts at all or goes towards my DNF. But if I am penalized in ANY way for this idiot's poor sportsmanship, there will be blood.

EDIT:

Just checked my record, I did indeed get a loss and it counted toward my DNF (which was 0% before, I ALWAYS finish my games).

...

I think I'll go rage on something BRB.

Sounds like good times.

And exactly why I rarely play online.

Can you not get kicked for too many false starts?
I know you can get kicked for too many defensive offsides.
Maybe his plan was to keep trying to draw you off (suffering false starts in between) until you had too many defensive offsides and got kicked.
Sounds like something they need to fix.
Also make sure EA knows about this guy.

I filed a complaint and gave a negative review, but what really frosts me is the fact that I get a loss for it, AND a DNF. He only drew me offsides twice the whole game, one was the cpu just being dumb and biting on his fake snap, and another was just me getting itchy trying to jump the snap.

I got kicked for excessive delay, which makes zero sense because HE was the one delaying the game.

That stinks im sorry, but for the record the reason he never left the shotgun is because florida's playbook only contains shotgun formations with the exception of goal line.

I see, never played with Florida's playbook, so that explains it.
