online community: why so many cheesers?

[browntowntiger]

one question and one question only.

Why does someone with such a severe lack of football knowledge go out and buy a football game?

i lied, question two.

Why does EA leave so many loopholes/exploits for these steaming dogpiles to take advantage of?

the online community for this game is horrible. 9/10 times i get a full blown cheeser. I swear they are so abundant in population they could be considered a species. So bad ive given up on the series in general. We all know the single player experience is dead beyond a full season. I tip my hat to you if you've found a successfully ran dynasty. Out of 5 tries, none have seen week 1. NCAA series will never be of quality for the offline portion to be enough for a buy. Online is the reason i buy games. This one's community is as horrible as the halo series.

Discuss.

If you're looking for a legitimate online dynasty, PM me.

Lobby games are so hit or miss though. The good thing about the typical lobby cheeser is that they aren't very good at it and try doing the same thing over and over. I love the guys that pick teams with speed at QB, because they all try sprinting around and throwing but can easily be stopped.

The toughest thing for me to stop is a person with a legitimate under center rushing attack.

I put the game down the whole time the pump fake glitch was rearing its head, but since the patch I've played 6 games and the only "cheeser" was a guy who ran 5 wide the whole time, which is at least borderline cheese. I still beat him though, so I really don't mind anything someone throws at me.

I've been lucky lately too, not many cheesers. One guy who was running around with his QB as if he was Denard Robinson, trying to throw and then failing miserably.

It does help that I've gotten a bit more selective in who I face.

Cheesers aren't necessarily hard to beat but they're annoying to face. We play for fun and cheesers take this out of the game.

It is only frustrating for me if it's something new that I feel like I should be able to stop, but just can't figure out. I actually truly enjoy beating the cheesers almost as much as I enjoy a good solid competition.

Nothing beats a great game against an evenly matched opponent who plays straight though, win or lose.

What was really funny was there was a guy I played with a 22-4 record right after the patch came out, and almost the whole game he was trying to pumpfake glitch, and probably couldn't figure out why my D wasn't running head over heals back toward the QB. He quit before the half when I was up 25-0 (I had 3 TDs and two safeties. Ha Ha ha haha.)

Re: online community: why so many cheesers?

Haven't played any real "cheesers" this year, but my definition may be much different that yours. I'm more concerned with "glitchers", "cheesing" is too subjective.

Re: online community: why so many cheesers?

well i'd say the pump fake glitch is pure cheating. things like running the ball every play out of a gl formation and letting the playclock rundown on every snap at the same time is cheesing. onside kickoffs every kickoff and going for two after every td is cheesing. going 5 wide and stepping out of the hash marks with your qb because you know the coverages will start to drop is cheesing. well maybe it aint cheesing to you but it sure is annoying to me.

Ill tell you, i have a crapload of football experience and knowledge of the x's and o's and schemes of the game. that knowledge shows in my play. everyone i play just wants to be annoying and piss you off. for the life of me i cant get a straight game out of anyone. these dynasties are crap too. no one really has the dedication to run one properly. much less actually get one started. they drop in and out like flies. i dont know where to turn with this game so its going in the crapper. and im pretty much done with ea sports football in general. somebody give me a call when EA decides to make big boy football and not cater to these brain dead dogpiles that litter their servers.

Re: online community: why so many cheesers?

it's the nature of online gaming in general. always been like this and will likely never change.

Re: online community: why so many cheesers?

Yep....it is just the whole human ego thing. People like to brag about their rank, win and lost record. Therefore people cheese just to get the W added to their record.

I have seen it in every sports game.......People choose the team that have the highest rated players ALL THE TIME instead of playing with random teams.

In baseball games - see Yankees all day

NBA - last year it was the Lakers, Cavs, Celtics.....This year I gurantee you going to see Miami all day, probably won't even come across a Cavs player online this year

NCAA - Alabama, Ohio St all day. Back when Pat White played, it was W.VA all day with people running around with Pat White. Samething last year when it was Florida and people running with Tebow all day.
