Anyone else have this issue?

In the games where I have NOT gotten blown out (thanks DJwill! LOL) I have been winning 21-7 or so at the half, only to see the other team come roaring back in the second half and win by 14+ points.

Now, I wouldn't mind so much if this happened once in a while, but this happened to me in 5 games last night. Everything I was doing stopped working, and everything the other guy was doing started to work. And anytime I tried to mount a comeback of my own after losing my 14 point cushion, something random would happen, like picking a pass off in the end zone, fumbling, then his team recovering and scoring the TD.

Is it bad luck? Or are other people having this happen? It's irritating that the other dude can keep running the same few plays he did in the first half and have them start working all of a sudden.... Not good for my walls, doors or blood pressure.

lol, hey sorry man. i was trying not to run up the score but you threw 2 picks in the flats. that first pass was a slip. i went to hit that wr and barely even tapped the button when i meant to put some .....umph to it. ended up being a good pass, go figure. you gotta remember though man, i'm a vet. ncaa is my thing. you'd do the same to me in madden (probably worse). it was fun just the same though. gg

No, no problem man. I didn't expect to win, just to get the hang of the game. The controls are screwin me up, and the positioning of DBs is WAY different than in Madden. I'll be in perfect position in NCAA for user picks, but the ball goes sailing over my head. In Madden, they'd have been 6 the other way. LOL

Its not just you J....

The exact same thing happened to me in both online games I played last night. It was insane. I would go from a running attack averaging 8 yards a carry to nothing. A QB who was hitting about 55% of his passes to one that was sailing pocket passes 15 YARDS the wrong way.

Far and away one of the more frustrating things about the game...

Oh, btw I was the road team both times (ND at San Diego State!!!???!! - the Aztecs and that feared HFA...lol; and ND at FSU where I could at least see how HFA would factor in somewhat).

The online lagginess / framerate issues seemed to plague my games all over the field, just really noticeable inside the 20's and on kicks, but it was a problem in all areas of the game.

Look me up for some shared misery...if we both keep losing to big time comebacks maybe it will even out if we play againsteach other...lol!

Sounds good, Moos.

You still doing Maddenwars?

[moostache2]

Yup....trying to get the off-season league finished is getting old fast....guys keep agreeing to times and either not showing up or show up, wait 3 minutes and then start a game with someone else.

Between Madden, Tiger and NCAA my free time is spoken for this month...

I am gonna be using the Moostache2 profile, so if you're looking for a game sometime hit me up...
