WARNING,
YOU WILL BE SEVERELY FINED IF YOU USE THE WORDS "GLITCH" OR "CHEESE" OR THE ADJECTIVES "STUPID" OR "RIDICULOUS".
C'mon folks. At least 90% of the stuff complained about on this board are bogus claims. There's so much nit-picking that you'd think we were a bunch of women complaining about their husbands.
One guy has gone into a disertation-like frenzy about the rating's system. How this guy or that guy isn't progressing as he should. All this over a few ratings' points, when the guy doesn't even understand how the ratings' system works in the first place.
Another guy has complained about the CPU picking too many good players early in the draft, because there's nothing left for him.
Still another guy has ranted over and over and over, with a sickness boardering on acute obsession, about how the DBs are so bad in this game. I've read most of his posts and have not been able to figure out what he's talking about.
Another guy, who must have problems with his own extremities, is complaining about a DE G* (remember the censor). The whole rant is meaningless, as far as I can tell.
Others, as numerous as there are fish in the seas, who are adament that the QB Spy feature does not work. When they activate the feature, they expect wonders, failing to know that sometimes, in the NFL, things don't work out as planned.
Then there's the lonely soul, in a flood of tears over a devestating defeat, who has found a penalty G*, being ignorant of the fact that holding in your own endzone is a safety, according to the rules of football.
The list could go on forever, a Comedy of Errors, all no doubt the result of some a**kicking, brought on by the Agony of Defeat.
It must be fashionable to report these problems. You see what you thought you saw, rush to the computer, and type away, trying to explain what you saw, probably a bit uncertain but entertained nevertheless.
The list of G* will probably never stop, the next one being as absurd as the first.
This game is not without its problems, however. The online thing is certainly an issue. I would agree also that there might be too many dropped passes, but the game has to recreate the incomplete pass. When it tries to do this, sometimes it does a bad job of it, making it look like a clearly dropped pass. But generally, the QBs in the games I've played are right around a 50% completion rate, sometimes lower and sometimes higher.
Hopefully, as everyone gets used to this game and plays in longer, these excuses for loses will disappear.
It will be interesting to see what Madden has to offer.
