Xbox live - one thing that is p-ing me off

    Xbox live rocks - Agreed

    But recently iv been playing pro Evo 6 online and nect thing the opponent pauses the game, and doesnt continue, then has the cheek to use his head set to ask me to turn off my computer, when im winning.

    Thus meaning he wins the game by default, its happened twice now and twice by foriegn guys,(very stubborn guys too, i left the xbox on for an hour and they still didnt quit) very annoying (but i banned them from my prefered players list) , any one else have this issue.

    To me its the lowest of the low, if your losing take your beating, not start crying like a baby.

    Yep it's a fairly widespread problem

    One way to counter it is to

    1. host the games yourself

    2. Turn injuries off

    3. Set pauses to zero

    That way they can't pause you out

    It won't stop them from trying to score an og to do it, but it'll cut out most of the opportunites for them

    The only guarenteed way to **** them over is to out wait them if they do it

    Haven't had that problem myself but you can report the gamertags somewhere in the feedback section, if memory serves correct.

    Failing that it's prolly worth making the game authors aware with, they may be able to resolve the issue with a patch or something. An e-mail to the support department should do the trick.

    Welcome to PES online. I have stopped playing ranked games lately because of this,do as tank top says to stop them.

    Sorry only new to the xbox live scene, what do you mean them scoring an own goal, what will this do - sorry if its a stupid question

    They crash the game by getting into the pause menu, or into a replay

    If you let the counter run down (on certain stadiums only seemingly) the game will crash, and the idea is that the other person will disconnect, giving the crasher a very cheap win

    If you're hosting don't pick the Orange Arena or the Stade Louis II, both of these are apparently crash friendly

    It's a ****ing disgusting tactic, but since I started setting pauses and injuries to zero I haven't had one person do it to me.

    Once they realise you've stopped them doing it they'll generally just disconnect

    Most of them are very very poor players who have cheated their way to the top of the rankings

    Check out the top ten leaderboard

    It's a farce, all of them with an average of no goals conceded, and three scored, exactly what you get when the other person disconnects

    i have to raise my hand and say im guilty of doing something LIKE this..not as bad tho. In FN3, me and a mate used tog et drunk as monkeys and play matches online, and if someone was totally kicking our asses, wed just do illegal moves until we got disqualified..haha. Tho we only ever did it against people who were playing unfairly in the first place i.e doing nothing but power punches all the time.

    I think that you can report them. Find their gamertag and there should be an option somewhere there to make a complaint.

    This has happened me about 8 times in the last few nights, my stats were doing ok until this started too. I dodn't really care tbh, stats don't mean a whole lot to me.

    I'm a hugh fan of pro evo but the online mode is rubbish, im not even gonna bother with it anymore!! I'm gonna play the league thats been set up here but thats it! I just can't stand the half second delay on everything, its not like playing a 2 player match at all, and the game gets judged on pure luck alone!
