Re: Head to head quitters

You have to take online play for what it is...Back in the early days of online play the player disconnect % was recorded so if you had a high % people knew you were a habitual quitter...This was frowned upon in most communities...Then we got to a point where people really didnt care about quitting and that became understandable because when your playing some clown who is going for it on 4th every series and not playing in a manner that is fun the best thing anyone can do is just quit and move on.

I don't care about a ranking...I play for relaxation and fun. I have 2-3 guys I normally run games with and we play realistically. I know that can be subjective but when I say "realistically" in my Madden world that means punting on 4th down, mixing up my defense and offense etc.

Honestly if I play a random online and he's acting a fool by going for 4th and 18 on the first drive its likely I may quit at anytime in the contest because I really value my time and the quality of game that I need to enjoy Madden. So, as I originally stated...don't sweat quitters...let them quit or you quit if the game isnt fun. For me I consider myself a simulation sports gamer...not a videogame player. I will quit on a clown in a minute and not think twice about it. This hobby should always be fun and stress free. Peace and enjoy the game.

DNF% was great...theres no one on this board that can convince me that getting rid of it was good for H2H. Let the habitual quitters matchmake with OTHER quitters...easy. If your DNF goes up because of the occasional disconnect or crash, thats fine...its not going to ruin your experience long term.

They could even hide it for all I care and do it on the back end, but the amount of time it takes to go back and try and find a game after 3 opponents quit in the 1st QTR isnt fun.

Well,if there is no chance for them to come back and win with not much time on the clock,what's the problem? To quote Herm Edwards, "You play to win the game" while at the same time,Madden is a video game. It's not real! It's only for fun.

If you cant handle being down, just concede. It ends the game immediately and you take a loss. The real problem is the people that rage quit 5 minutes into the game, and it happens way too consistently.

Like i said, DNF was a great solution to this....put the quitters in the same matchmaking pool...

Me personally, it would have to be one hell of a deficit for me to concede a h2h match. Ive come back from 4 scores down late, and have been beaten being up big. Some people should just stick to playing the cpu.

Re: Head to head quitters

I’ve only played a handful. All but two were running no huddle the entire time or running the same one or two plays and hot routing 8 times like it was Weekend League. No thanks.

Back when I played pick up games online, the second I saw someone line up to go for it in their own territory I either instantly quit, or went out of my way to annoy them. Taking as long as possible, jumping offsides a bunch, coming out in punt formation on first down and taking a delay, constantly fake snapping, etc.

Re: Head to head quitters

My goal is to get someone to quit. Winning 49-13 isn't fun either. Let me get challenged. I'm not sure what the frustration is, personally. I had one guy throw a pick six on the first play and quit before I could kick the XP. Fine. Give me the W and let me play someone else. If they quit that early, they likely are going to be annoying to play anyway.

As for cheesy guys, I love playing them too. It makes me better. I try to focus in on what they are doing and figure out how to stop it. Or how to beat the defense. Nothing is better than when they hit you 2-3 times with the same play and then the fourth time, they throw a pick six or get hit for a big sack because no one was open.

Re: Head to head quitters

Online head to head is trash.
It has always been trash and will always be.

Games never go to the end if you take a 10+ lead or make an interception with the lead it is disco.

People never punt or kick for 3 most of them no huddle and use 3 plays and log off when you figure out a way to contain these 3 plays.
You may find once a year a quality matchup but it is really like once per cycle otherwise it is absolutely garbage if you like football.

I have been playing online lg exclusively since madden 04.
Time to time i need to test something (like playbook gameplan or coach options) and Then i go for online head to head do my test and concede when done. That is for me the only purpose of that game mode.

It's certainly annoying if you're looking for sim football, but Madden is tuned towards offense. With high powered offenses and short quarters, possession is king. It's a whole different calculus.
