Re: Anyone think this game cheats?

Yeah with this game you have to play just like you're in the game yourself. You have to actual strategize which is why I'm not that good at this game lol. I'm so impatient on offense i just hike the ball as soon as we get to the line. I dont bother to read coverages or blitzes or anything lol. I'm still yet to get stops on defense. I get scored on like 30 pts a game. Defense just isnt my thing.

Wow, I'm playing a defective copy of the game, or something. I'm not new to the series. And while I'm certainly not that great at playing, trust me, there are many moments where it's just blatantly cheating me.

Anyone have any kind of suggestion as to what could be causing anything like this? Could it possibly be a defective disc, or what? Blah

It's a defective you.

Sorry Mom.

I wouldn't be so mean but this is pretty much how I feel. The nice way of saying is if you want to blame it on the game you'll never get better and always think it cheats... Catch 22. I never had that problem. I usually screw up, figure out why and fix it. Been working for me.

Anything higher than the Pro difficulty, it totally screws me over.

It's nearly impossible to complete passes. The computer intercepts balls they have no business intercepting. The ball sometimes magically transports itself from my receiver's hands to a defender's. I rarely have more than two seconds to get a pass off. The glitch-like way my receivers have their progress impeded by a defender while going after a pass is really pissing me off. If it's late & close, there is absolutely no stopping the computer's miracle drives. And I will be picked-off or lose fumbles, guaranteed. A fat defensive lineman named Ekuban ran down a sprinting Mike Vick from ten yards away, for crying out loud. And he did it many times.

This game is such a letdown for this stuff, and I can't believe I haven't seen any other posts mentioning it. Doesn't anyone else have the problem?

I think you're playing madden.

Re: Anyone think this game cheats?

this game doesnt allow the old style video game football tactics to work.

you cant back up 20 yards and throw hail marys. you must stay in the pocket.

and mix your defense up or they will kill you. on some games you could call your pet always stop them defense and win. ESPN will KILL YOU if you do that.

To avoid getting sacked, drop back and then move up in the pocket when the outside linebackers try to turn the corner to get you from the outside....I would say I get sacked an average of once every 20 or so games.

Another option instead of getting sacked is throw the ball away. If you're outside of the tackle box hit the black button to have your QB throw it away...much better than taking the sack!

Good looking out..I will try harder to do just that

Re: Anyone think this game cheats?

also mix up your plays. i haven't played you to say you don't alrready do that but the game will remember what you called and adjust so those dbs that you don't think should be getting ints ARE supposed to get them b/c they recognize patterns that you've been running all game. i honestly can't say i've seen anything out of the ordinary in terms of the game adjusting late to make up for a big lead or deficit.
