Online quitters

[Dabrwnhornet]

Usually this is one of the biggest complaints the first couple of weeks, everyone jumps online, and you go up a couple scores and your opponent quits before halftime and you don't get the win. I wonder if they have something in place to work this year. Disc pulling usually hurts the game early on every year until they find a patch.

If you're up 14-0 in the 1st quarter, you should be rewarded for wasting your time. Doesn't have to count for your ranking, but you did put in some time to get the lead, and it's not your fault your opponent is a quitter.

Re: Online quitters

Honestly even if you get a W and your ranking goes up... it doesn't do you justice.

Thats a waste of time and enjoyment of a full game that you lost...

The only way to fix this is for there to be a ban or something serious if your DNF raises above something...

But even that wouldn't work, as there are situations that arise such as power outage, internet outage, storms, etc.

I didn't play online when I had a fast enough internet for it just because living here in the south with the temperature being 100 everyday storms pop up constantly, so I HAVE to turn it off sometimes...

I'm thinking of upgrading my internet again, but the storm season already looks busy.

I can top that... last night I played an on-line ranked game and I was Texas Tech... the guy chooses Alabama... A+ A+ A+ across the board. He wins the toss and takes the ball. Three plays later it's 4th and 10 so he lines up to punt... from his 20... and fakes the punt and throws an 11 yard completion.

So... knowing what kind of jerk I am up against I pull out the dogs and blitz his *** and put him in a 4th and 25 and then... he quits.

He has to be the defending National Champions in the game and quits because he can't gain a single yard unless faking a punt.

People are ridiculous.

Re: Online quitters

Reading threads like this makes me wonder if I will ever play on online game against people in NCAA. I tend to stick to my Dynasties and now Online Dynasties.

Re: Online quitters

They need to bring back the option to continue against the CPU if your opponent quits. Then if you build a big enough lead you can just sim the rest of the game and get the W. I know some people abuse that so they can get their name at the top of the leaderboard but I don't care about that. All I want to do is get credit for a W after an opponent quits like they did in the original post.

yeah when i tried playing online...i would say 1 out of every 10 opponents would be someone who played the game in a serious way. When I say that I mean people that:

1. dont just choose Alabama, Florida, tOSU (it gets boring to always play against the same few teams)
2. dont exploit the cheeser methods in the game just to score points, i like playing against people who vary their playcalling and actually make me have to think on defense rather than running the same crap over and over
3. dont quit the second you go up by 2 scores

i really want to enjoy online play because i love it in fifa but just not enough people that play the way i enjoy playing.

i usually just end up playing with friends.

Re: Online quitters

I've basically given up on online play. If I play the game often enough, I might try an OD with some of you guys on here. I'm not the best at NBA 2K11, but it seems every game I play the Heat and they try their best to just dunk it instead of playing some real basketball. I keep it close for awhile and then they pull out the full court passes and whatever else they want. Or they'll quit if they are losing or it's close after 3 quarters. Major waste of time. Haven't done enough NCAA online to know how bad it could be, but I believe the cheesing.

Re: Online quitters

I don't care if someone quits. I played a decent amount of ranked/unranked games on '11 and have no idea what my record was. Just doesn't matter. Plus there is some satisfaction in making someone give up.

If I wanna worry about records and all of that I just play OD.

Re: Online quitters

I got a pretty good rep at not quitting, i dont care if i am down 41-0 i wont quit... to me its just a joke.....

I have played people i have met on forums and they talk about how they wont quit, and they do regardless if they are beating me or i am beating them makes 0 sense

Re: Online quitters

I don't think I can play online anyway, my internet goes out for a few seconds every once and awhile (every 30 minutes or so) and I would always get disconnected anyway.

Re: Online quitters

When the ppl I played this week quit they gave me the option to count the game.

Re: Online quitters

Whenever I get the nerve to play online i only play player matches because they dont go so ridiculous on me, and usually by the second half the quit. I have zero problem with guys quitting on me because at the end of the day it is just a game, and they have lives to get back to. If they arent enjoying the game with me the way its going leave point blank. Who am I to get mad because you quit playing your game. Its usually ranked guys who get all hot and bothered about quitters.

Re: Online quitters

Well, I have played two games total in ranked matches. One guy quit, the other guy tried like hell to cheese his way to victory, but I beat him w/ a 4th quarter comeback, 29-21. So I am 1-0 and in those 1+ games I was reminded why I never play on-line against unknown players.

We all have lives and when you invest your time in something... having people quit because they can't cheat their way to a win, yes, it's frustrating. And it also makes me wonder... if they are going to behave that way, why even get on-line?

The guy that quit on me was Alabama and the other guy was Texas. I was Texas Tech both times. So some people have to be the best teams and still can't win or play in a legitimate manner... they should work on their skills until they can play the right way.

Re: Online quitters

The best thing you can do is find a group a fellas on here or on other boards that will guarantee you a good time. When you play randoms you have to expect that crap from NCAA and every other online game ever. I have good friends who play as sim as it gets, and some that play as cheesy as it gets, I wont be mad either way because its a game. After playing these games for as long as I have (not much compared to others) I just refuse to get upset over virtual football no matter what.

But keep in mind this comes from somebody who plays maybe 2 online games a month.
