[quote name='wildcpac']I have played 1 game as the road team and I haven't noticed any problems/lag. What is the problem for the rest of you?
Just read on gamefaqs that online play is even more broken and only the host doesn't get lag. hmmmm[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure how much of a lag issue it is. In my last game with Pure Apathy, there wasn't any noticeable lag, but it did seem like he could cut away from my defender before I could react. My general thought is that this is a result of the awkwardness of going right to left, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was a slight button lag issue for player two.
Either way, the result is, with equally skilled players, player one will win. I'd make that prediction 99% of the time. And in the playoffs, you're probably going to get mostly equally skilled players. I agree that the regular season set up is probably as fair as you're going to get. Aside from some people having a "softer schedule"...which we had no way of knowing, it's at least balanced. Just wish we could find a way to make the playoffs balanced as well.
[quote name='DestroVega']I think we should really wait and see if they decide to patch it before we go crazy, right now we get equal number of home and away games, it's fair... the league won't wrap for a while, so let's see. I am still holding out hope.[/QUOTE]
Did you not see this? I think it's pretty clear a patch isn't coming.

[quote name='OblivionScamp']I can't believe you guys are actually doing a league for this game. I just deleted it off my hard drive, it is so easily exploited online, all anyone does is just use safety and cover the whole field so passing is impossible. Every game both guys just use safety it becomes a battle of who can win 3-0...and all the players seem to be the same skill level, none better than the other so its always an even playing field which takes away from the original's appeal. I really wanted to like this game honestly, but it gets old very quickly being in defensive struggles every game.[/QUOTE]
So, now there's a "S Glitch" huh?
People really need to learn how to outthink their opponents. Call running plays that look like passing plays. Call the same play three times in a row. Some people just force you to play smart. If you're playing as player 2 all the time, yeah, you're at a disadvantage. But if you can't outsmart people as player 1, you need to mix up your plays better. It doesn't take a 60 yard pass to score in this game.
