I thought I would give UT a shot since I was bored and wanted to try something new. And then when my first game began I quickly remembered why I do not play madden online at all anymore. It is no fun. It is extremely un-realistic and people cheat to win. Seriously, onside kicks, going for it on 4th down, 2-pt conversions and doing the same plays over and over.

How does anyone who plays like that find it fun? Needless to say I ended up winning, and am done playing that online for sure. I might even sell madden at this point. I wish just for once there would be a game where the community was not a bunch of cheaters/immature humans and instead an enjoyable experience.

Oh and I am not dissing on madden. I think its enjoyable game, but not much fun when you dont enjoy the online aspect.

I used to play Madden online, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

I used to make arrow in the knee jokes but then I got over it.

99.9% of the time, M12 is a cheese fest online. I get much more enjoyment out of being cheated by the CPU on All Madden.

i havent tried MUT online but i have done the reg online play and i think im about to stop playing online with all new cheats out there and ppl going for it on like 4th and 30+ and some how making the yards because they run back 20+ yards and can throw deep ball and some how complete it... funny thing is they say u cant do that in 12 but i've seen it with my own eyes few times when i played online.

I don't play online, never have, probably never will.

Unfortunately though, EA is pushing online and kind of neglecting offline franchise...

Totally agree, you have no idea how bad I want a great offline franchise. Thats the one game mode I play and if they could just improve that Id be happy. Fix the commentary and improve offline franchise.

Unfortunately most of the gaming community is younger kids who only play online videogames and force the video game creators to focus on the online aspect. It saddens me to see these kids who on forums ask if a video game has multiplayer and if not they refuse to play it. I miss when multiplayer was when you and your buddies would pull out the N64 and put in super smash or mario kart and have a blast.

Now I am not saying multiplayer is completely horrid, I believe it has innovated the gaming community greatly, more then anything else but I feel like it has become a requirement in every video game that is made now-a-days when truly it should not.
