Online With That Cheese?

I’ve been an offline gamer all of my life. I’ve played only a handful of games online with a few against my nephew and only three or four randoms my entire life. Having some free time on this Canadian Thanksgiving I decided to fire up NCAA 09 and play a game online. I just played a random guy in a ranked game and it reminded me why I never play online.

The guy chose Ohio State while I had Miami. I had no problem with that and he seemed like a better player than me. If he would have just played real football, he probably would have won. I knew he wouldn’t do that from his first possession when he ran a fake punt on 4th and 10 and tried to convert with a pass from the punter (he failed). He then went for it on 4th down twice on his next possession to score a TD. This guy just didn’t believe in a punter. I was down 14-7 at the half as I struggled on offence.

In the second half I return a pick 80 yards for a TD to tie it at 14-14. On his next possession he tries to no huddle me on 4th and 16 from his own side of the 50. He fails to convert the first down and then promptly quits. What a douschebag.

There are so many advantages to playing offline only. You can tweak sliders, play whenever you want and don’t have to worry about cheese. The only advantage to playing online is to hopefully get a smarter opponent. Instead I get an annoying one. So it’s back to my offline cave for another couple years.

I agree. I don't play online because it's so hard to get solid opponents. If they are much better than me, normally it's because they are running the same play over and over again. Or if they do play straight up, they normally show no class and run up the score. Or, if I outplay them, they quit.

I played a game online in Madden 10. The guy picked the Titans, switched the playbook, and proceeded to Wildcat me all game. Up by about 25 pts, he's till no-huddling, going on 4th, etc. Not fun. I haven't played online in that game since.

I've never played a random person that played Sim style.

I only play people I know with regards to online. That way I know it will be an enjoyable experience and will not throw the controller through the TV. :biggrin:
