Online BS

[blitzben85]

First online game in UT, the guy whole im playing decided run into the endzone on kickoff for a touchback then run into my players before the snap on 4 plays before quitting. Why ? Do these people enjoy doing what they do ? I'm certain not everyone online does this but for my first game, it's not a good sign is it.

he's probably trying to de-rank, if you will. He runs into you to get the forced quit on his end and still get coins. Can't see any other reason he would do that. What's your teams overall?

No that great, think it's in the 60's as it was my first game in UT. He quits and still get's coins, or does he try to annoy me, get's me to quit and he gets the coins ? I was prepaired to stick out the crap he was doing just so he didn't get the staisfaction of making me quit.

Honestly, I dont see why you are complaining, you received 1250 coins in the matter of minutes, you receive a win, and can move on to the next game.

I seriously hate playing online. I want to play traditional football, not abuse game mechanics. I can either play to win or have fun. Not both.

It'll get better, but not much. My rate is about 50/50 between playing someone straight up and someone who craps their way through a game. I've given up on it until changes are made.

He probably just wanted to have fun. Not everybody buys this game just to max out their ultimate team in a few days and be done with it; instead, it's a collective process that involves enjoying the gameplay and all of its other aspects while increasing your rank at the same time. In my opinion, the game isn't all that enjoyable when ten minutes of my time is wasted and I receive a few coins that I didn't even earn.

Anyway, I've had similar things happen to me before. I don't see why EA couldn't implement some sort of rule that restricts coins from being distributed when a game is under five minutes so people stop messing around all the time.

Let's be honest here. EA's NCAA Football division is about 2 years behind the gaming industry for online play. And perhaps even more.
