Madden-ing Glitch Irks Gamers

Posted by michael on from the insufficient-beta-testing dept.

theodp writes "A vexing glitch in Madden NFL 2005 has players complaining in online forums and even demanding a recall. Because repeated offensive shifts exhaust the defense before the ball is snapped, EA's forced online players to turn off the fatigue setting, which disables the exploit, but spoils the realism of the game. At least you've got an excuse for that first-round Madden Challenge loss."

    Couldn't this be easily solved... by not playing with people who cheat?

    New to the internet, are we?

    Seems a bit extreme, buying a TV network.

    Besides, Fox Sports are probably cheaper, and you'll get fair and balanced gameplay...
