Whats your most frustrating game?

[pirateninja21]

I want to hear about that game that everyone has at some time where absolutely nothing goes right at all.

Mine:

I always play as penn state but to mix things up i decided to play as georgia tech to see how their option attack is. The first two games i play with them go fine and I win both. Tonight I played someone who played as Florida (i didn't want to play them but i wanted to see if I could beat them so i did).

Everything goes good the first quarter and i score twice and him once. Then everything went downhill. He went to strictly goalline which has never been a problem for me before. He subs in his WRs as TEs and his speed HB at FB. Somehow they block well on every play like this and he runs up the gut repeatedly. OK i think i can deal with this. And then he starts to pass out of that same goalline formation. Man doesn't work he just keeps doing the same play and hitting the flats over and over. I switch to zone and it still doesn't do anything. I literally tried everything and i couldn't stop the 2 plays he kept running. Then after scoring a TD and getting the ball back this gem of a play happens:

I know Tebow is superman but come on look at the COMPUTER controlled cornerback. He runs to make the tackle and then literally just runs away. I know that I wasn't controlling him because I was the safety. I know i totally whiffed on the play but that is still no reason for my cornerback to run away from the play.

I eventually start a gradual comeback and am within two scores. He has the ball on my 50. I get him to third and long and I get the sack. Wait nevermind facemask. The defensive fumble strategy is on normal at this point. So now he gets the firstdown i decide to put the fumble strategy to aggressive. Next play . . . facemask. Okay my bad so I turn the strategy back to normal. Next play . . . you guessed it facemask again. He scores and its all downhill from there.

I was playing Florida with Tennessee. Everytime I got inside the 20 I turned it over everytime. Then I intercepted a 2-point conversion and Florida was called for holding. So I figured the penalty would be tacked onto the kickoff. No the game had me kicking off to Florida on the twenty. I pretty much kicked it into the upper daeck. Now if that isn't a glitch than I don't know what is. It was a very frustrating game.

Re: Whats your most frustrating game?

I'm playing with Tenn in my dynasty and I have the hardest time with Georgia every year. Seems like I can never get pressure and my db's jus stop covering. I can never get any calls and whoever the qb is 4 them that year, his completion% is like 85. I usually get peeved and restart the game. I end up winning by like 3 points or less in a 4th qtr shoot out everytime.

Re: Whats your most frustrating game?

I was playing Florida with my TB team and could get past my own 40 yard line. There defense was just raping me. Make matters worse my 5 star QB got injured and left the game and gonna miss 4 weeks! But I eventually won the game by 43-29. Play the quarter defense against Florida they can't handle it, plus Tebow got hurt.

Re: Whats your most frustrating game?

I'm playing in my dynasty with Baylor. in our first year we are 4-1 i think and go to OU. I play out of my mind all game and its tied at 14 at halftime. I go up 21-14 mid-way through the third quarter. we exchange punts and then with 2:30 or so to go in the 4th OU ties it up at 21. So i have just enough time to drive down field and kick a fieldgoal i figured. I move the ball to just past the 50-yard line and then run an option. 2 guys come at griffin so i pitch the ball to the running back when all of a sudden some dude jumps forward about 19 yards and picks the option pitch off in mid-air and takes it 55 yards for a TD to put OU up 28-21 with about 1:50 left. So i get the ball back and complete some big passes and end up with the ball at the 3 yard-line with 20 seconds left. I go to the play-book and it claims that a PA pass out of goal-line is "set-up" so I decide to take a chance and run it. Bad Idea...i snap the ball and get caught from behind as I roll out by a DE and even though he just dives and trips me, griffin fumbles the ball and OU recovers. we lose 28-21.

My must frustrating thing about the game is that I have to trade it in for Madden 10 .

Re: Whats your most frustrating game?

Oh, my second thing is that a simple thing like the online weather is broken and EA only has one tech working for them who does not care. Read below


I private messaged Adam Thompson at EA...here's his answer....


Yeah. It won't be in the patch I don't think; it is server side. Unfortunately the engineer who was going to find a fix for this has been tied up in higher priority tasks right now (I'm not sure why this isn't considered higher priority though... I'm not a manager).

My most frustrating game is Russian Roulette. Man, I hate it when I lose.

Re: Whats your most frustrating game?

Playing against an option team like Oregon. They lose 5 yards every play on Heisman. Just a waste of time playing against a dual threat QB. All they do is run for negative yards and are crappy passers. The AI logic has killed its running game. You can literally take any team into Oregon and thrash them on Heisman. Brutal.

Re: Whats your most frustrating game?

simple...threw to the HB..***n towards the endzone...ball is in his left hand, sideline on his right...the LB is pursuing me and just as he is closing in, i dive for the endzone, the ball hits the imaginary force shield of the LB, the ball goes out of bounds and ends up being a touchback and costs me a touchdown.....and what do you know...i lose the game by a touchdown

Re: Whats your most frustrating game?

My most frustrating game...
My teambuilder team(OVR rating of C-) taking on Missouri, in my dynasty.
I was trailing by 6 with 2 minutes to go and I had the ball. Moved the ball nicely(had all 3 timeouts) but threw a pic at the 30 in Mizzou territory. I recovered a fumble on their second play, with :58 to go. Next play for me, intercepted AGAIN!
Then I get the ball with :14 to go and I just can't get anything going.
I had 3 chances in 2 minutes to score a TD and I couldn't.
It was very frustrating.

Re: Whats your most frustrating game?

In one of my Online Dynasties (I was using Colorado), I played West Virginia and their QB had 1 incompletion the entire game... and I swear Noel Devine had like 20 broken tackles in that game as well. I lost by like 20+ points.

This is the evidence that I feel proves that this game is circling the drain and its only a matter of time before they will be selling this to only non-sim fans exclusively.
