They fixed several of them last season. I'm sure there were plenty that weren't fixed though too. It's just an easy system to exploit. Especially on defense. Find a player on the d-line, make him do a QB spy, which makes him step back and in turn his assigned blocker just stands there like a dipshit which makes the d-linemen next to him have a wide open gap. Shit like that. It's stupid. I've never understood why people wouldn't just WANT to play the game like real football. What fun is it if you find a trick to let a DE or DT get to the opposing QB in .5 seconds?

What really irked me was that some people I played against quit too early. I'd get up 14-0 in the first quarter and they'd just disconnect. Then if I found a good opponent that played legit and we had a good game going, the game itself would screw up and we'd get a "desync error" or whatever.

It's like you're in my head. I couldn't stand the cheap bullshit that people would pull and wouldn't get fixed and then when I would find a decent game the shit would lag out. So ****ing aggravating.

I don't think I'll ever buy a Madden game again because of that shit.
