350,000 Played Madden NFL 10 Online Once, Then Never Went Online Again

[ryan36]

I played some dude online once. All he did was throw in the flat to percy harvin, and then move his right defensive end out to a spot on the left side of the LOLB.

All this could probably be countered, somehow. But I'm not like a lot of people on OS, I don't feel like googling all the counters to cheese.

So I said **** this. It wasn't fun.

I didn't want to play a "ranked " game in my first ever game online, so I was left picking random idiots to play.

Exonerated - sorry but that's not lag, that's someone who just can't handle losing, which is 95% of the online football players.

I'm one of those 350,000+ as well. But my reason is because I did not want to download the patch. I felt the statistics were more realistic without the final patch, and I didn't want to go back to Madden 06's stats engine where there would be 2-3 2000 yard rushers a season. I just upgraded from that game, I don't want to go back to it! I do have the itch to try out the patch because of the gameplay tweaks they made, but it's not worth sacrificing some franchise realism. I think the game played decently enough for my liking without screwing up the rushing yardage leaders.

I am in the monority because I enjoyed my online experience both online franchise and random opponents. I love beating cheese with sim solutions.

Would just make it easier to find games with people that play fair when your friends on your friends list aren't on...

I totally agree go Bills man!!!!!

You know I have as much issues as anyone with online Madden but this stat isn't that shocking, I'll bet almost every other online game, Modern Warfare, NHL, whatever, is going to have a stat like this. The simple fact is a lot of people get a game, go online just to see how it's different and then that's it, they just go back to playing online. This number is not a damning indictment of Madden by any means IMO.
