I've been online twice now. And both times I got beat. My problem isn't that I lost, it was the fact that both teams I played had maxed out their player attributes.

I'm assuming now that most online teams are maxed out or are playing with Tecmo Jo or whatever. I'm guessing even the people who want to play with fair teams have to increase their player attributes just to compete.

Any suggestions on how to make thinks fair? Friend codes with a point cutoff maybe? Maybe give a team like the Patriots more points to work with then some lame team? Or even have a standard online point cutoff for all teams?

Basically, I want some fair games. Big deal if you win and your team's attributes are through the roof. If we could create a fair tecmo community, wouldn't that be more fair and more fun?

great idea. How a group of us agrees to personalize the same teams with the same players and same stats.

TecmoRules, here is my friend code: 5198-5998-0490
Both you and Screen Action can add me to your friends list and I will gladly play you without a roster full of maxed out players or tecmo jo.

Just because someone has maxed out players or uses Tecmo Jo doesn't mean they are not beatable. Just last night I beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 7700 points with a 5380 points team. Then I played the same guy with a 6500 team of mine and he quit when I got up over 14 points. At the end of the day, I don't care how fast or strong your players are, you still need to be able to play the game. Last week I lost a game where my team was 6500 points and the other team was around 5500 points.

The point is there are plenty of guys on here who routinely beat higher point teams, I guarantee you guys like ShannDogg, DH 1125, and dajabec beat higher ranked teams all of the time.

Now when you start playing games where teams are ranked over 9000 points, that is when players are truly "maxed" out. But if someone wants to play with a high 7000 point team or low to mid 8000 point team and you don't fill comfortable with your lower ranked team then build you a team to compete with them.

There are like what 30 teams? Create a few for higher ranked point teams and some for lower ranked teams.
