Well, it finally happened...

[mra85a]

Broke my controller from playing this game.

Basically, I tried again to play with a different slider set...toledo vs a created villanova team. All the same issues still are there....I literally got through 4 minutes of the quarter, and the only route that I could get any recievers open on was a slant...****nning the ball was fine, but on defense, toledo had a scrambling QB and ran the hurry up...well, that caused the major problems.

Basically, I wanted to spy him, but because of broken custom playbook, I had no plays with spy out of certain formations, and he would just take off....I was forced to pull a linemen off the line to spy him. Then, even when I did have a spy, my LB would just let the QB run past him.

Well, that was it...I went ahead and called EA customer service, and asked for a refund on the game...basically, I'm going to use that refund to buy a new controller. They were surprisingly helpful actually...and are sending me out a sealed copy of the game.

Still though, it stinks, because I really wanted to enjoy the game, and just can't....

Yeah...I feel like an idiot...at least the 360 controllers hold up fairly well to it, unlike those PS2 controllers that would just shatter.

If you break controllers over a video game and you're not a teenager, video gaming isn't for you.

To the OP, please dont break your mouse or keyboard now that you will probably think that this forum is unenjoyable and not playable.

This game is what you make of it. Yes there are some flaws that have been covered extensively through other threads. The fact you cant enjoy this game because you cant pass or stop a scrambling QB however is in my opinion a "you" problem and not the game. This is not to say there isnt flaws in the AI but to ditch this game for the reasons you mentioned to me at least suggests that this game probably isnt right for you from the start. Just my .02
