    Bama/OSU should be banned from online play.

    I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like 2 out of every 3 people I try to play online picks either of those two teams.

    C'mon guys, show a little "creativity" or something, haha.

    It gets so frustrating though.

    Don't play online. Simple, but I do understand your frustration and I, being a Bama fan, notice it too.

      That's never changed, and never will, I'm always playing against Florida or Texas in every single random ranked match it seems. Get used to it or find online buddies who will play more matchups than the best of the best.

        Always playing the same teams over and over and....Is a reason i stopped playing online years ago (and i have no desire to go back). Online is good for those who like that aspect, but i personally just dont see the attraction anymore.

        God forbid someone picks a team thats not the best of the best....

        Good luck bro...You have WAY more patience than i have.

          I just had an amazing game against an Ohio State user actually. Was down 14-0 at the half and came back to win. With one minute left and down 14-10 I recovered an onside kick and went down to score with only 8 seconds left to go up 17-14. Somehow he got into range for a long FG after a big pass play and he missed the game tying fg. I do agree though people always use the best teams. Just the way it is.

            I play as Bama every year online and hardly ever saw anyone else use Bama. Not so this year, as expected though. Whoever the best rated team or whoever has a mobile QB always gets used the most.

                  This is definitely something that really bothers me.

                  I've always used Ohio State and I'm a future student of the school, so I always find it hard not to use them. I definitely do feel a little bit guilty using them online, but it's just something I have always done. No matter how bad/good they are, year in and year out, I am going to use Ohio State.

                  I guess its not my fault they are in their golden years...

                    I play as Bama because I always have (and I go to school here so I feel awkward playing as another team when I can see Bryant Denny Stadium from my apartment lol). So I've stuck through underrated Bama teams in the past, albeit I avoided online play for the most part, mainly for the same reason that you guys are complaining of. I hated playing against USC, Georgia, Ohio State, and Florida almost every online game over the past few years. I think banning them may be a tad bit rash because I don't feel like they are any more over rated than Florida and Oklahoma were last year.

                    It sucks, but its just the way it is...

                      MBash721 - I'm the same way, I prefer to use OSU, but with that being said if the other guy is using a team like Middle Tennessee State I will switch to a team of about that ranking. I don't feel any "guilt" using OSU usually because the other guy is Florida or someone.

                      Here's an idea - wouldn't it be nice if they made it so ranked games the home team chose first and the visiting team had to choose someone within a decent range talent-wise of the home team? We'd see so many more teams that way I think.

                        Yeah, if you go to the school, or if you are a truly big fan, I can't blame ya for using them. I mean, I use VT...lifelong fan, hoping to attend there next year. But when people use them every time just because of the ratings, QB speed, etc., it gets old, very old.

                        Oh well. You guys are right. Just gotta find the right people to play with.

                            Thats one problem with online gaming...there will always be people will use and try anything to win...But you can't really banned strong teams from being used, some people are just fans, students and alumni of those universities.

                            Anyways its more fun to beat those teams if you are using a weaker team.

                            Should the Miami Heat be banned from being used in NBA 2k11 b/c of James, Bosh, and Wade?...Don't think so

                              I have a solution - do not play randoms. I am 5-2 and have enjoyed each and every game I have played today
