most annoying things to play online

[evoteg]

1. change every play before snap the ball, REALLY tired of the QB yelling the #
2. hurry up offense every play
3. use 2 mins or so on the game plan menu before the game starts
4. sub their best players to Kick/punt returner
5. once a play works once, use it the whole game
i am sure you guys can come up something else, give it a try

6. all blitz every play
7. purposly diverging
8. proposing to quit over and over to take your quit timer down
9. rapid pause
10. using fins or raiders
11. money plays

thats all i can think of right now. all of these are no-nos

Hmm....

What if you use the Raiders and have actually been a fan for...say 24 years?

i know there are real fans out there, but it seems like everyone i challenge has the phins or raiders as their default team. seems like there are a lot of phins and raiders fans all of a sudden.

Re: most annoying things to play online

Of course there is...bandwagons are a wonderful thing. I just have to endure so many "are you a real fan???" interrogations that seeing something like that drives me nuts

Don't worry...ask anybody here. I'll still be the Raiders NEXT year, when they're rated like 60 or something

1. colts do it, just be patient and confident in your playcalling.
2. teams in the nfl do this, it's actually easier to stop people, they can't run because their oline get's too tired and the offense fatigues faster then the defense because they are moving more. again be patient and confident in your playcalling.
3. i change a few things, my controller, sub in leftwich (since about week 2, better arm strength), and a few lb switch's because the depth chart is messed. Takes about 1 min.
4. kick it to someone else, it's not hard to kick it to the guys on the 20 (nice and high)
5. if you have a weakness people will exploit it, learn to stop it because it can be stopped.

6. run the ball up the gut if the blitz is outside, maybe a draw to let the blitzer get into the backfield. again be patient and confident in your playcalling.
7. sux but whatever, does it really matter? does rank really matter, you see someone at say #5 with quits and 5 divergences and you know he's holding on to that spot for dear life because he thinks it means something meanwhile every knows he fake.
8./9. deal with it, i can tell before i play someone just by chatting to them and their record if they are cheese or not, i don't even need to click start after i choose my uniform, i can click quit.
10. play them with the same team if you think they have an advantage then you can't complain.
11. every offensive play has a defensive play to counter it, be patient and confident in your playcalling. if you get burned once then so be it, don't let it happen again.

You guys can make a list of 100 but they are all just excuses. I'm not going to explain how to enjoy your online experience because if you make a list like this then your just trying to find reason's not to enjoy it.

The thing i find the most annoying is when:

my opponent makes a good play, they talk trash, i give them congrats. i make a good play, they claim it was lucky, i say thanks it was lucky and then burn them again with the same play right after and tell them i got lucky again.

or the infamous blaming the ref's no call.

at which point if either happens i tend to get rather silly, i'll start making fun of my opponent. they are starting to get off their game so why not make it worse by fueling their emotion with anger and force them off of their gameplan.

i'm an honesty player, realistic and a good sport but letting someone ruin my experience is not going to happen. i love the game and enjoy playing it all the time, blaming the game because i suck isn't something i do because i know and my opponent knows how the game works/plays. the bottom line is the game is fine, people are who they are and they've been that way since 2k1 so if your new then get used to it, deal with it, learn how to stop it, and have fun.
