What is the point of playing online?

So I just tried playing online with my ultimate madden team, (figured why not)

I get stomped my first 2 games playing against random people.... but i never once thought of quitting... cause i figured that if I quit I would lose anyway record wise.

Well in my 3rd game i'm actually winning 14-0... and the person im playing throws an INT to pretty much seal the victory for me.

Well I then see the message right after the INT...
..."The Connection To Your Peer Has Been Lost"

The dude seriously quit... or dash boarded i dunno.

I was cool with this until i got booted out of the game and saw my record was STILL 0-2.

That's it im done.... back to OFFLINE franchise... what the hell is the point of playing this game online if you are not 100% guaranteed the W when you actually deserve it?

How is it when your opponent quits on you are you not automatically awarded the win?

Or at the very least let me play the CPU until i actually win the game.

Complete BS

Am I wrong this? I still have no W... do i need to try backing out of the menu?

That first W (which is the sweetest) SHOULD BE MINE

The point of playing online is to immediately remind you how awful the online community/experience is and to never make that mistake again.

Find a online league to your liking to join. OS offers all kinds with different rules etc.

Re: What is the point of playing online?

yea, pretty much any 1vs1 online game is like this nowadays. you find a specific group/community of people who aren't ridiculous and you play with them. or you risk dealing with stupid stuff like you posted.
personally, theres just too much silly cheese-playing for me to take online seriously

Go back in and check your win-lose record. I know mine never updates immediately when returning to the H2H menu after a game. I always have to go back to the main menu then back into H2H in order to see my record and points change. I bet if you check again you'll see you were credited with the W. I've played over 50 online H2H games and honestly I don't think the quitting has been that bad nor do I believe I've been cheated out of a win in the few cases somebody has actually disconnected.

Everyone has pretty much already nailed it - find a community or a league with a like minded group of players. Doing so is literally the only reason why I even play Madden anymore. If it weren't for my online CFM with my league, I wouldn't even buy and play Madden anymore.

Lobby and offline play are both absolutely atrocious.

Hahaha, every damn year madden gets me on this. I'm like well, it sucked last year.. maybe it was improved? Nope, still you either get a cheeser or someone who quits when they go down by 14.
