play now community

[TimsGiants]

Loving this game

Best madden yet? Im feeling it

Only thing that drives me nuts is how much wasted time I spend trying to find a game. I dont got all the time in world anymore. The community message board sucks. It looked good at first but its not working for me. If it showed who was in there it would work but it just hit and miss.

So.. play now.

Option in the community tabs. I didnt notice it but since I have picked up 2 games so far with it. So figure if we all just went there and spent a few minutes maybe less if all were doing it then games would be flying and no find a game time.

Also you dont know who your gonna play so that cool also.

Theres a bunch guys in community that I havent played and its the easiest way to play others.

Its only good if we are all going to play now. Otherwise your just sitting there timing out waiting for a opponent.

besides a couple of games, this has been the only way i've played. I ended up playing Mobb, Aso, Stonecold and PP this way.

Only problem with this is that its fucking infuriating to set up a game with someone, log on, send an invite only for someone else to join and you dont even realize it until its too late. I have no idea why EA allows people who press "Play Now" to join games others have been invited to.

(Sorry Studawg, ive backed out of games with you because you joined my shit when I had another game set up)

I like the play now feature, got a game vs. Rekka out of it, someone I probably wouldn't have gotten a chance to play if it wasn't for that. So that was cool (gg btw)

Should've been 2 games but someone ducked me when they seen my name :shifty:

I didn't get a chance to catch who it was but that's too funny.

so ughh make vsn room or no?

i use play now and it worked one time for me.

There's a chat room in the team play section we can use to get games, then exit out and challenge the person.

That is how I ended up playing PP, I was actually waiting on Dave to join and PP popped in, I was like wtf??? :laugh:

It's cool. I figured that's what happened.

Or maybe they knew what was going on and wanted to play whoever they had challenged. I doubt they left cause it was the great Mobb

this x1000 and a sorry to stu as well, most of us set up games in the chatbox and the play now people always jump in your game. If they were wearing a headset you could say hey could you please get out of my game im playing virix. Nobody is wearing a headset and you have to keep canceling and reinviting people until you get the guy you want in your game.




I do like play now to play guys ive never played before though, that is a plus for this system.

That's happened to me 3 times now. I expect to play one guy and end up playing another. Never really bothers me, as long as I'm playing a VSNer all is good.

My favourite was Mobb playing Realist, thinking it was me, and saying to himself "Man, Dave has really improved."

Half of our guys (including myself) hop into the chatbox and ask people for a game. Pretty much all of my games have been set up that way. Then we get online (while knowing the other person is coming) send an invite and see someone else join. You cant really bail on the dude you just agreed to play.

If you ever want to play a game and play now aint getting it, hop in the chatbox and ask for a game. Lots of us are in there looking for games even before we finish the game we are currently playing, or before we turn the system on.

I've been using the play now feature as well and really like it. Good way to find games.
