Just finished getting ass raped by Noles Fan.
He played great and all that, but GODDAMN! Every punt or kickoff I had was at best 25% power due to the lag. I was sacked multiple times even though I kept try to throw, the lag time was outrageous. I would switch defenders and the goddamn computer would register two button clicks instead of one, so I would end up with the wrong player in pursuit. All in all, the online experience is pathetic. I'll play against people offline and have no issues whatsoever. Put me online and I'm fucked. I have DSL that runs every other game fine, but I'm wondering if that is whats up. The delay in response makes these games miserable. I mean, when your opponent is starting on the 40 every time you're fucked. And if you have to "anticipate" to pass the ball, you're fucked. I had to "guess" where the recievers would be and try to lob the ball in there becuase I knew it would take 1-2 seconds to register. And the three or four times I guessed correctly my goddamn recievers would drop WIDE OPEN PASSES.
Fuck it. Thank god every week isnt User V User.
EDIT: And seriously, Noles fan played well. I just think it would have been a lot more competitive had we been playing without the horse ass delay. Maybe I should practice playing more online to get used to it, but I'm not a fan of an inferior experience, so I'll stick to having buddies over to play offline.
