I am a level 2 with a record of 7-4 but there are some things that really frustrate me about online play:
1) Out of my 4 losses only 2 of them are legitimate. In 2 games I was winning by a hefty amount and the game froze on me. The first time I was playing against the Eagles and I was winning by 21 in the 3rd quarter. I picked off a pass and immediatly my opponent paused the game. When he did this my screen went white and it and got stuck there. I had to restart my wii after about 5 minutes of waiting and when I got back online it said that I had a loss and that I had a dropped game on my record. Why am I given a loss if I was winning when this guy paused the game and froze out my game? Did he receive a win? Similar situation happened when I was winning 38-3 against another opponent. I paused the game to offer him mercy in the third quarter because I was getting sick of him doing all pass plays and dragging the game out. The screen froze and I was given a loss and a dropped game.
2) I think it is a little unfair at how certain players unstoppable. T.O. Randy Moss and Plaxico can catch just about any pass that is thrown to them. I double cover them with the corners and then my saftey comes up on a pass play yet T.O. will still get a 90 yard pass. Yet when I have my number 1 reciever wide open I often get drops or somehow it will get knocked down by a corner that comes across the field. I dont mind the whole lob pass thing but if I have a wide open receiver he should be allowed to catch the ball. The game should be a little more fair in that aspect considering that about 50% of players use the Cowboys because of TO.
3) Since the game is online why doesn't it update rosters/player stats to make it more fair. My favorite team Ravens were terrible last year because of injuries. With a healthy roster they are above average and I think that their terribleness in the game should not be a reflection of there stats last year.
4) Lastly has anyone had a problem with kicking after a player leaves? For some reason if a player leaves the game and I continue verse CPU I can not kick at all. In offline and online (not vs CPU) I always have good kicks but when a player leaves and I continue I always get poor kick power and shanked kicks.|||Heres just an update:
Add two more unfair losses to my freakin record. First one I started a game with this guy and the game got frozen at the loading screen. Didn't play a second of that game and yet I am given a loss??? Second loss was a really tight game. I was losing by 3 with 2 minutes left in the game and I was driving down the field. My controller blinks low battery and I clicked ok seeing that there were only 2 minutes left in the game. After that it says you have been disconnected from this game. Without even finishing the game I was given another loss. I am going to have to restart my account now! EA get your act together!|||Welcome to Madden 09, Edgar. You have used one post to complain about the same things we've been whining about for months.|||Yeah I am relativly new to the forum. I have seen the complaints before too. It just gets frustrating because with a few cheap losses I have gone from being ranked in the top 1000 to not being ranked at all anymore. One thing I think EA needs to work on is the communication to other players. I know the Wii has restrictions on that but I would like to be able to type a custom message to a player especially while in games. Although the games are only 20 minutes regulation time, it usually takes about an hour to finish one game. It would be nice to be able to ask your opponent if you can run to the bathroom at halftime!|||I had a guy that plays the Eagles do that to me afte I was up by 21 in the 1st quarter; I got a loss.
Then I played another guy using Eagles (should've known when he used the exact same plays) and was kicking his butt whan it happened again.
Then the original guy sends a message saying Owned! a bunch of times. I had TWO losses from that game...how that happens I don't know.
So he gets 3 wins, even though he had no points, and I had more than 30.
Funny thing is this guy is ranked, Gamer49 or Gamer79 or something like that...uses Eagles and is not very good...obviously he gets wins like this. He overplays the run and is easy to pass on. Obviously he plays under different ID's...I suspect you played one of them by the sounds of it.
Last night I played three times...I'm up 37-3 on the first guy and he kept conceding and cancelling fast. Then I offered mercy...he accepted then I noticed that I got a loss!!! The next guy is down 21-0 in to the 4th quarter and quit after an INT in the final 2 minutes. I played the CPU and finished the game...and found out that I got a loss!! The third on I was winning 35-10 and offered mercy, which I got the win from. So after dominating 3 games I was 1-2. I can't see how some of these top guys have few losses.
Some of these guys on here that complain so much about dc's are ones that are doing the most of it.
My record is 30-20, but I've legitimately lost maybe 7 and have not actually quit any of those. The rest are stupid dc's.
And of the 30 wins, I would say 3 guys have actually finished.
Every single time I've played a higher ranked player, I get a dc loss. There's some glitch that some of these guys use when they're losing...that screen thing has happened to me most of the time.|||This is a glitch with a solution (at least when it happens at the very start). Power down the Wii immediately. This always works at the start, but only sometimes works later in the game when you see End Game (after getting a message the you've lost connection).
One sure thing...NEVER click on the End Game dialog (after getting a message the you've lost connection) because you ALWAYS get a loss.|||thats why i stopped playing, unfair losses and uncredited wins
