Was this a franchise game or some random punter on the internet?

Was a random head to head. Ill give you his gamertag. He's sent me a few typical COD Rage type msgs. Funny all the same. 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. As I said, I should've just quit after the first few plays.

Ah these guys are bonkers anyway, I've only played 2 online games and both have been complete clusterfcuks.

One guy saying mad $hit down the mic to me and the other guyjust having players run all over the pitch!

Played my first game on the PSN... Eagles(dirt bag) Vrs (me)Packers

I won the toss and his first play he done an onside kick and recovered it.

Then his first play on OFF he played some crazy quicksnap play and was inside my 30. Then he done some crazy run play that twisted the field in two and stormed into my end zone. So I take my medicine and line-up for the PAT but he comes out for the 2points. My first 4 plays online and I was down by 8 after an onisde kick, a quicksnap, a dodgy run play and a 2 point conversion all within 2mins real time.

So he comes out again for the onside but I could smell it off him so I was ready.. next my turn on OFF and another effing shock. He moved all his LB's all right to the line and had them strafing left and right and his D-Line all shifting and strafing across like Fussball table pole, so I snap and boom sacked in 1second flat. This happend the next couple of plays I tried a run play, a draw, each time getting smacked and sacked.

After my the first quarter I think it was 22-7 and I was just about getting my bearings on the game. So I done a quick google in between a few pauses and seen that the best way to counter little fckers like this is to annoy them with pausing, taking delaying penalties, making your play on the the last second of the play clock. Basically to not get phased and take my own time. But most importantly to play out of the Shotgun on OFF and Blitz heavy on D.

I really should have just quiet early on but he got my so riled up I was determined to try beat him.

I then started getting some rhythm with the Shotgun, the RB out of the backfield was getting me my first downs and the odd PA here and there for a few 20 yard gains.

In the end my frustration got the better of me between his constant Hurry-up offensse, his onside kicks, his 2point attempts and crazy D-Line/Linebackers rushes.

The score was 52-36 at the final 10seconds left on the clock and I quit. I had to, I couldnt give him the satisfaction of getting a W on his record. My first game on PSN and I got a harsh reality in glitching little fckers not even playing proper football.

I knew he was a dirt bag as soon as he lined up for the onside kick at the first play of the game. How can he even pretend that he's playing football doing that its like hacking a soccer game to give you 5goals at the start of the game or removing the opposing Goalkeeper.

And that's exactly why the Boards league is so good. You get none of that at all.

me-skywalker

mooonpie

Having a bit of difficulty joining the league on myleaguemanager.net, not recognising the password and league id

Anybody else in the same boat? Or am I the only one?

I joined the league online last night. Picked the the Cardinals. Flacco, Lynch, Megatron, Gonzalez. Played first game against the might Redskins and got tonked 31-0.

Now I'm rubbish anyway with only about 20 games played in total (4online) but I let this game get away from me. Gave away 3 INT inside their 30.

I gave them a TD with the 3rd play of the game a rush from Forte strgight up the middle through the gap. My play calling was awful and was my first time using Flaco so wasnt used to his release.

I done well rushing the ball with Lynch, moving up the field alternating receivers with Gonzalez, White and Johnson.

I am awful anyway but I think I was trying to hard to make up the deficit too quick and with bad play calling and tryign too hard to get some long throws I gave away silly INT in the midfield or throwing into double coverage.

Really let down by my defensive paly aswell as I let Forte rush for 2 TD's and they threw a 50yard bomb and my guy flapped at it in the air.

I think the game was closer than the scoreline but I've along way to go with understanding the difference between moving it 60yards up the field and actually pluggin it in inside the 20.

Sky walker, when you fall behind you will always feel pressured to air it out and try and pass into the end zone. All too often this goes pear shaped and you end up at best giving possession away or at worst giving up an interception returned for a TD.

Try to stick to your game plan...

I know, it was working so well gettin up the field with Lynch, my running game was on fire. I know this is gonna this is going to sound ridiculous, hell it is ridiculous but I felt like I was cheating myself by just running the ball and not throwing a few long ones in there.

You dont need to constantly run it as the CPU/opponent will always know what you are doing, if you prefer running then mix in a PA or something now and then to keep the defense honest.
