Madden 2011 Ian Cummings warns online quitters

Ian Cummings updates on his Twitter a solution in the works for online quitting in Madden 2011 and he doesn’t hold any punches

[allyc4t]

This wouldn't be an issue if they tested the game before it came out.

[mikeslemonade]

Thanks, now I know I can quit before the half is over for the time being. How about they make the game fun when you're losing. Madden sucks when you lose but really fun when you win.

I'm not spending 30 minutes and sometimes even more time in a game that I'm not having fun in and I know I will get a lost on top of that. When you play team-up in basketball it's still fun even when you lose.

so learn how to be a good Madden NFL Player, bitch stop bitching

[BX81]

I agree. My biggest problem with past maddens is I'm not the best and I don't claim to be but I always get pinned up against a player with a stacked record. They should make different lobbies for different types of players.

[BrutallyBlunt]

Well someone has to lose don't they?

I think they should give out Trophies or Achievements that look like a diaper for all of those who are sore losers and have no thought at all of anyone else they are playing with or against. Don't want to lose? Then play against he computer and use whatever cheap tactic you want.

i bought this gaME.and its disappointment.the defense is pathetic on this game.ppl pas the ball 90% of the time.ai is horrible this year

[Armyntt]

And there you are. The Madden gamer who bitches that everyone does this or that online. You say people pass 90% of the time? Thats the beauty of the game. If someone does a certain thing on DEF or OFF you as the coach has to pick a DEF or OFF that counters that. Its strategy. If you watch two players who are really good play youll see the AI is just fine, sure it has quirks but its fine. If your at all any good the AI wont make you lose. People who diss madden just either are 1)Just dont like the strategy involved in it. And expect to score 15 TDS a game. Or 2) Just dont get it.

The headline should have read: Cummings hates early finishers.

[karlowma]

Early finishers hate Cummings.

[rdgneoz3]

Or as Yoda would say: Too soon quitters finish for Cummings. Punish for not staying in, he shall.

[The_Claw]

More games need to penalize quitters. too many games out there let you quit without posting a loss on your record. I like what Resistance 1 did, too many quits within a certain time period led to increasing timed bans.

[TheLig32]

I like that. A certain number of quits and there is a penalty. I don't think there should be one for a quit because I needed to do something else.

[The_Claw]

dont start a online match when you have something to do shortly

[-Judge_Fudge]

i guess he....came too early
YAHHHHHHHHH
SORRY i had to do it

[RyuCloudStrife]

fix this please, i just played against a guy he never quitted cuz it was a close game... i won 21-20

EA could always charge an extre 10$ for an "Online Quitting Pass" Only 10$ and nobody is able to quit! FU EA and their games. Take a stand people!

[Sub-Zero85]

He should be more worried about people quitting on the Madden/EAsports franchise than online quitters during a game !!

[RyuCloudStrife]

people are complaining cuz they dont have the good enough skills to play against online player.. well if you dont have the skills dont play keep playing the season or against your friends or the CPU until you get better skills and better plays dont get mad and waste other people time online cuz you cant compete so then you have to quit on me and f*ck my game over, play or forfeit dont quit they should add a forfeit instead of quit and then show how many people I'VE made forfeit hahaha if u forfeit I OWN YOU hahaha

[2FootYard]

Quit playing these fucking games.

[solidmic]

@ eddie420

Have you ever considered becoming a poet!!!

[TheLig32]

I hate these quitting penalties. Sometimes I need to leave a game because there's something else that I need to do. I shouldn't be penalized for that. Video games are my hobby, and I have a whole life on my end.

[Taco_Waffle]

If you can't set aside 30 minutes to play one game, then don't play it. Do you leave your games due to your life when you're winning?

[divideby0]

its amazing how a bug like this can happen...online is the same for years now

[Darkspade]

I won a few games and lost a few, Quicker's need to be banned for 1 week.. and they recorded wipe.. the only problem they need to look at is internet drops

[poet215]

my only gripe, is the connection quality when online. I have the fastest comcast internet available, & I'm quite sure others have pretty fast internet also. With net speed & quality much better now than it was just years ago, why is it that the online game seems to be regressing rather than advancing......choppy, lag in the game play is what keeps me offline with it....some games online flow smoothly, but far too many are plagued with slowdown. I don't expect the button response time to be exactly as it is offline, but it needs to be brought up to par, better than what it has been so far

[Manberg900]

I simply filter it so that I only play players with a 10% DNF or lower. I have yet to be quit on with that tactic.
