^ You don't throw ten ints because you only average about four yards of offense per game...

I guess I did experience 1 cheeser online^^^^^

That said Cheeser then trades the game in the very next day, giving me no shot at redemption.

Don't you have a game of your non-licensed Tecmo Bowl you should be playing??

I know you were only joking, but for the record I have been averaging about 200-300 yards a game online in my last several games online. A good deal of that through the air.

As far as online, I haven't run into cheesers exploiting the game really at all. I have run into people that don't know much about football however. I can't count the number of the people who don't match up personal wise based on my offensive formation and pick a 4-3 or 3-4 every play even if I start going to three wr.

Blue....he meant that towards me. We played online the other night, and all I gained was a total of 3 passing yards, and 2 rushing yards against him. he now takes any and all opportunities to remind me of such hideous play, that I am sure will haunt me to my grave

Oops, my bad.

I agree with almost everyone. I would have really expected more from OS, I can't believe they let a review of such poor quality represent them...

Sad...

Why someone thought that would be a good name for a football game is beyond me. Now if it were a wrestling game it would be a hell of a name.

As for Chris's review. I didn't see anything wrong with it because it his opinion. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it. Just forget about it and go enjoy your game already. Besides, I seriously doubt that many of us at OS buy or pass on a game based on a couple of reviews. I can only truly speak for myself and I base most of my purchases off things like the demo and a couple of OS members who's opinions I value. However, mainly I only trust myself because what someone else loves I may hate and vise versa.
