I was playing online, on XBL, and I got shafted.
I'm not the best player in the world, heading into my latest contest with a 5-4 record, but I pride myself in my 0% DNF percentage. I do everything I can to finish every game I play, even my last game which dealt me a humiliating 38-14 loss to the Redskins.
Well, I fired it up a little while ago, and had a game against some dude as the Seahawks. I was owning this dude. All he did was pass deep, and he couldn't score a point against me. The game goes to the half with me in the lead, 17-0. But before I even got the halftime option menu, my screen goes black and says, "There's an error with the disc you're using. It may be dirty or damaged."
Great. This is the first time I ever got an error while playing Madden, and now, not only do I get a loss against somebody I was handling easily, but I'll no longer have a 0% DNF.
Stupid &@%!#* Thompson drive.
