360/PS3 New League Forming!

This message was edited 3 times. Last update was at 11/02/2009 13:33:32

Hi guys,

So it seems there is some consensus out there that we need to take league play into our own hands due to the inability of EA Sports to handle the issues on their own. This seems to hold true with most EA Sports games, as they are the most popular sports brand, they always suffer miserably with cheaters and punks online ruining the game for the masses.

Our main rule:
- Stock 6-axis Xbox Controllers ONLY (no modded controllers)

If anyone is interested in joining such a league, I'd be more than happy to create and host it.

Reply below with your console and gamertag if you're interested!

Need to clarify this thread - invitations are for 6 Axis and XBox stock controller players.

Good idea. I'll point that out.

How can you make sure no "moded" controller will be allowed in? Is there some way you can tell who has one?

I suppose the honor system.

There isn't a way to ensure - I'm guessing that it would be a group of people who want to play against each other using stock controllers with a gentlemans' agreement to use only a stock controller.

That is a slippery slope to proceed on.

I belong to a site that forbids the use of third party controllers as one of their rules.
Over a period of time it has led to some hard feelings.People have accused others of using one because they couldn't shoot the same scores.It sometimes is a real mess.

Just be prepared for the occasional spat over who's using one and who's not.

I agree - I think one has to get to know people really well before it would work - real shame.

I may be intrested in playing but before signing up, would like to know the league outline.

I only ever use a stock controller, never owuld I buy an turbo pad, even if they were easy to obtain for xbox....

Agree that you need to get to know people to have a sense of their "honour" but I also agree with SSenator that accusations can fly REALLY easy, just have to read some of the posts on these forums.

Anyway, assuming I do sign up:

I think it's a real shame that there isn't an option to play cross platform because i would play you happily. I'm PS3. I do think there are a huge amount of players who would love to play people using the same equipment. There just isn't anyway of telling when playing P2P until after the online game starts and you see their drive sail 50yrds past you. I guess the only way is to build up a network of friends that are like minded and only play them. What is woeful is that playing online tournaments is practically pointless. I really do think that 3rd party controllers take away all the best aspects of the game.
