They actually left that in.

Bah, might not get it when it comes out for the PS3 now.

Such a game-breaking glitch and they left it in.

Just play people like me who don't cheese. It would be a shame if the NG glitch keeps you away from one of the most fun games in the history of gaming. Download it, you'll thank me later.

I had a guy trying this on my last night. He dove several times and never got me. Only play it would have worked on is a PA play, or a toss player where the QB stands motionless for a second. It's definitely avoidable with the right plays.

I played the guy ranked just above you (Cancer man 300 or something like that). I lost in overtime to him... it was a classic wild Tecmo game. He used the Bills and used them well.

BTW I had a guy using the Oilers against me just dominate. He ended up dropping because of connection issues and I randomly got the W. I gained some rank spots. This tells me you get skill points when your opponent quits.

Yeah, something's not reporting right at times though. When I finish games, even though I win, I will drop. I won all my games last night, and I went from 31 to 32, back to 31, and up to 32, back to 31, and up to 32 again. I dropped from 32 to 31 twice, and both times for winning the game. I think something is wrong with their math for determining the outcome of a win.

You might have to factor in if the level is relative to how other people are doing. Maybe it doesn't just simply increase based on wins.

As soon as anyone does the nose tackle glitch I just quit. No cheese for you!

I've only encountered that once so far and having a blast playing this online.
For such a simplistic game (only 8 plays) there's alot of strategy involved.

FYI Montana on the Chiefs is a stud.

You know I have no idea what the NG Dive is and I played Tecmo for days on end when I was in HS.
