i have had the 360 for a while now, but i just got the xbox live yesterday.. man i thought i was pretty good at ncaa 08 and madden (i beat all my friends). dude, i get freakin killed on xbox live! it seems like the other dudes know my plays! am i missing out on something? the other dudes are constantly in my backfield, and they pretty much intercept any pass i throw! this sucks...
with most any online game you'e gonna have a high ammount of people who spend pretty much all their free time playing.... thus they become as close to 'gods' at the game they could possibly get to.... which translates to getting your ass whipped....
i'd just say either find 'noob rooms' (every game has them) or keep trying unti lyou get better.... personally i enjoy the second.... i may get my ass whipped for awhile, but after awhile i'm forced to get as good as them.... and then i surpass that standard, and become the person that forces others to up their game lol....
Yea man true that. My friend has Maddan 08 and on a good day will own me 60-20 or so. But when he gets on xbox live he will be offered mercy at half time. I dont know how they do it either.
I stick to FPS. I just fuckin shoot em with a shotgun and theyll go down. End of story =). Hopefully.
yeah it sucks...i need a lot of practice i guess!!! but i don't see how practice makes their players so much faster than mine:( and also it seems like the gameplay is a bit choppy and weird online. is that normal? like my kicks are always terrible cause there is kind of a delay.
you just gotta play online more, some people i play against are too good, but i like playing people with worse records than me, i quit if the dude has an unbelievable record. there are certain plays that almost never fail, and you need to find them
last part sounds like a connection problem on your end.... do you have torrents running or anything while you're playing?Quote:

woo hoo, i finally won a game! i guess there are people out there worse than me..my oregon spread option attack whooped some ass!
no i don't have anything else going..maybe it's because i have a crappy router or something..what is ideal for good gaming?Quote:

i am on a wired router..i thought maybe it was the router slowing me down, but now i am running straight from the modem to the xbox, and it is still slow. oh well, i have won two games in a row now. just gotta play really crappy people!
damn i am high right now!!!
yeah, the only way it'd be the router was if it's on awireless router.... and you're on cable... xbox live is supposed to have designated servers (ps3 games have one central server maintained by the game dev themselves)
so if you'r enot running anything, i seriously dunno what to tell you dude... you have everything going for you... local servers, wired connection, cable internet and nothing leeching bandwidth..
oh well, i can live with it
Practice makes perfect, and even though you may think you are pretty good when playing against the game AI or your buddies, when you get online where everybody is as, or more, competitive than you are, you realize it's not so easy. It's fun if you are in a competitive mood, but not so fun if you just want to kick back with a few quick online games.
I've been a bit disappointed with Xbox Live never really getting a good system to keep advanced players with the advanced, and noobs with the noobs. I thought Halo 2 had the best system, and just assumed all other games would copy something similar, but last I checked most games still just pretty much randomly threw people into rooms. I also wish there was a way to screen out anybody under 18. When I first got Live it was in Beta and pretty much everybody playing was at least 20 and up to 40. It was a lot of fun because everybody was just chill, having a good time.
Lol i have madden but never play it online because i don't feel like getting owned horribly. Take out your frustration with halo 3 or rainbow 6 vegas.
