The frustration is starting to set in!!

OK, when I first got the game I was OK with the deletions to the 360 version,,, BUT now that I am in tune with the game... some of the missing Xbox LIVE crap is really bugging me.... like why can't I see my opponents record when choosing who I play against... (this is big problem.. because I am playing against some real A-HOLES and don't know it until i get in the game)... and now to my BIGGEST problem and maybe i am doing something wrong... but I never can tell what my opponent is doing from a formation standpoint... like some of these idiots will go for it on 4th down.. no matter how bad their field position is or how many yards to go for first.... I actually had a guy (gamertag WWJD)... never punt or kick a fG(including extra point) all game... he actually converted a 4th and 34 from his own 2 yard line... because I didn't know he was going for it and choose punt return.....and I couldn't get audibled correctly and was too surprised to call a Time out.... I"M PO'ed .... I lost that game 36-38,,,, because I failed a 2pt at end of game... they have to let you see info on a potential opponent... this REP crap is stupid ... show me the guys record and DNF and DISC and let me look at the last 10 ppl he played ... Out of nine games online I have only ran into 2 quality opponents!!! that sux!!!

I totally hear you on getting a mixed bag on accepting challenges. Mixed at Best... I have not played a single opponent that I would consider straight, and have probably reported a third to half for either quitting or poor gameplay.

So far I would say its a total myth that the single account generates better game play. :(

Its really hard not to get 10 yards out of 4 plays in this game cuz offensivly its so easy to move the ball down the feild. So when players are going for it on 4th and 1, 2, 3,4 and even 25 when they are on their 30 yard line i have smoke coming outta my ears. I dont understand why they would get rid of fair play.

I very rarely play guys i don't know, the 3 lobby guys i played were non-sim.....went for it on 4th down and ran the qb all over the place.

I play in a league and play games with league members mainly, find a league and you won't have this problem.

Thanks Princeofpain - I am in a club, but all but one guy are PS2 only... Its a good suggestion though.

Shakedown, I like playing with NO fair play - I just need to get a much larger list of str8 Xbox players so I have a better shot at avoiding idiots. Its annoying that guys go for it on 4th and 20 from their own 5, for example. Its infuriating when they complete a pass into triple coverage on 4th and 20 from their own 5. The other thing that happens then, if they don't get it, they quit.

So, I'm in a position where I am constantly at a disadvantage. AND, every time I have played out vs. the CPU, I have gotten smoked. Offline, I usually win vs. the CPU. All 3 times online, the CPU has staged "remarkable" comebacks against me.... arrrrrgh.
