Online Frustration (360)

[NYG_Meth]

I've stopped playing online for 360 all together after my last few games. I got it handed to me my first couple of ranked games, but ever since, I've been getting it down, I'm outscheming the other guy, shutting him down on defense and putting up points on offense. Anyways, 3 of my last 4 games or so, and my last 2 games in a row, I've been up by a sizeable amount with under 2 minutes in the 4th each time (my last game I had it, up by 12 with 20 seconds left, clock running, less time on the game clock than on the play clock), and the game disconnects. I figure whatever, the guy quit. At least I get the win for my effort. To quote Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friend." Instead, I'm given a loss AND a DNF%. I am now 1-8 because of this, as opposed to 4-5 like I should be. I've had the same problem with Fight Night in the past. It makes me think, why should I bother spending my time on a hard earned victory when it's going to be counted against me as a loss and a DNF anyway?

Edit: For the record, I have quit an online game once since I started playing games on Xbox Live back on Xbox 1, and that was only because I was playing a blatant cheater in 2K5 and I was down like 35-0 after the first quarter. Since then, I have never quit a game, even if I've been getting trounced, and I have never EVER pulled the plug.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I've already sent a letter to Madden online tech support.

It doesnt allow you to play vs cpu? Im guessing not. I havent had this happen to me yet i'm 2-3 0% DNF. Not many games played online. I'm the one that is always getting blowed out so they dont need to quit. I guess you need to play ppl that you know wont quit? If his is for the 360 add me i play a Sim game of football,plus i'm Niners. Babythug24 is the tag

I've had the same problem. It's like they cheat their way out and we get screwed. Anyway, if you ever want to play a true sim game with all the bs to the side my gamertag is sportfanatico

I'm going to add you to. Hard to find a Sim game!

Thanks guys. Once or twice when I was playing UNRANKED games, the other guy quit and I was able to finish against the computer, but never in ranked games. I'll add you guys to my list so we can play without any of this BS.
