Getting Rid Of Ranked Games

[PhillyRon]

Would you be in favor of getting rid of ranked games. Personally, I think rank games play a lot into the reasoning why so many guys disc glitch. Do you think your online game play would be better without ranked games.

what in the world does playing a ranked game have to do with a disc glitching?

I guess I don't understand this.

If you don't like the way people play in ranked games, why play in them? There are plenty of people from sites like this one that you could play in non-ranked games and you wouldn't have to worry about it.

I don't really see this as something they should get rid of when it is something YOU can control.

Without ranked games and quit percentages, there's no incentive for the average lobby scrub to stick out a tough game.

When records don't matter, people will just sell out in the first drive or two. If they fail, they just quit and start a new game.

I think the solution is to fix DC glitches as much as possible and just continue to refine the game towards realistic logic. If this year is any indication, we could be in for some very positive improvements in the future in terms of sim play. The sooner "free-style play" is properly punished by realistic logic and sound playcalling, the better. I'd love to pick this game up and play without having one discussion about cheese in terms of rocket catches, flats throws, QB draws, turbo blitz etc...

I dont believe people spend hours finding a DC glitch for a non ranked game. Im talking about the game as a whole, not just guys from Madden sites. Not everyone that play online know about Madden sites.

CreatineKasey: There is no way this game will ever be sim. A pure sim game would be horrible. They tried that with NFL Head Coach, as you know that game is no longer around. Im not hear to talk about Sim vs Freestyle.
Just saying there is a direct connection between DC and ranked games.

I'm not arguing that with you, I agree with you.

My point is that if you don't want to worry about it, don't play ranked games.

What's the difference between DC and quitting an unranked game once one user ends the connection? Does having a DC glitch even matter at that point because you can just quit and obtain the exact same result: nothing. Isn't it a lose-lose situation? In both instances the game doesn't matter past the point of disconnection. At least with the ranked match option there's an opportunity for the game to matter.
