Is it too much to ask for cheese-free ONLINE games?

[TheLateralLine]

The HB Direct snap, QB Draw, FL Screen, Slot Screen are just some cheese plays that are ruining online play. Can the devs figure out a way to remove them in online play or somehow make them less effective?

They probably can't take those off completely. I just want them to bring back the fair play option.

Well if someone keeps running screens on you, play some FLAT zones. As for the QB Draw and HB direct snap pinch the line and audible blitzes with the LBs.

GL!

lol...

i've played 100+ games online. 99% of those were ranked.

haven't seen any of the "cheese" you refer to. in fact, i have only played 1 "cheeser" who scrambled/ran with m. vick every play.

learn to set-up your criteria of who you play. this coupled with a less "cheeser friendly" game of madden than previous versions and you should barely ever play "cheese" players.

like i said, i basically only play ranked versus random opponents. 1 "cheese" game in over 100 played says you can play non-cheese games if you want to. and it's not that hard.

You must be blind or something...Online is filled up with the little homos....Go over to that cheese site maddenLab and the whole damn place is filled with posts showing Madden exploits..this fool around here, JJSTICKS is a moderator over there and is posting game glitches, himself, as an active moderator,for Christ's sake!! He should be banned from here... That place sux. Its all about abusing the AI's shortcomings and taking advantage of the game's design over there...No wonder EA is reluctant to talk with people when you have IDIOTS like JJSTICKS and his cheater's-paradise-website..



It's almost pornographic over there looking at all the ways to screw over the game...I just never would have thought up all that crap myself. I actually enjoy the game of football.. not the pushing of these stupid buttons....It's amazing how many people are naturally sneaky and dishonest. ...Their parents should be keelhauled.

Yes.

This is never going to change, so you are left with the following options.

Play exclusively in online leagues, and play head to head games against friends list people only.

Or, if you want to play the majority of your games in the lobby or qucik match world, either quit the game when you encounter the cheeser, or tolerate the experience.

I've played 2 cheesers and one guy that played straight up. The first game I played a guy using the eagles, guess what his go to was.

I play with the Colts and the guy couldn't run left or right because my D line is so fast he couldn't get away, I controlled Bob Sanders and ran mostly a flipped cover three, staying in the intermediate middle, I was fast enough to stop him for 4-6 yard runs. By half time I was up 24-7. Half way through the 3rd it was 31-7 and the guy quit on me. I finished VS. the comp to get the W.

Very next game, I play a guy using who? The Eagles. His game was almost just like the last guy's but he threw in a few different plays, I stuck to my cover three, oh I almost forgot, I would send my d-line wide almost every play, if it was 3rd&1 or 4th&1 I would slant them to the strong side. But Same deal, at half It was 21-10 and in the 3rd after an int for 6 he invited me to an xbox live party, I figured the guy wanted to curse me out for being better, but he didn't next thing I know my box freezes and I get the L and the DNF. Needless to say I learned a lesson.

Next guy played as the chargers, I killed him too but he played straight up, took his 20+ point loss like a man.

I haven't had much time to play but 66% of my games so far have been against cheese balls.

so, i'm a liar or blind/stupid?

i am 40yrs old. i have played every single madden, console and pc, since its inception in 1989 on the pc.

i have, literally, played multiple thousands, and thousands of games of madden in 20+ years.

i think i know cheese when i see it. i'm a "sim" type madden player. i prefer as realistic a football game as i can get.

i play random opponents.. my online ranked record in madden10 is 65-36, with only 1 DNF.

i have played against 1 (ONE) cheeser, 1 (ONE) time.

*** BTW, FYI ***

i'm not saying cheesers don't exsist. nor am i saying this game is cheese-free. i've seen JJSticks posts. i know about maddenlabs, etc.

WHAT I AM SAYING IS THIS version of madden is less cheeser friendly. couple that with knowledge of how to SET CRITERIA on who to play or not play, and you get the most cheese-free madden online exprience in YEARS (maybe ever).

repeating myself, but after 111 online ranked games, i'm either lying or stupid -- OR I'M NOT.
