Yeah, I'm the same with JB... I'm in 3 ODs, though over the holidays I expect them to slow down so certainly willing to play some Play Now games if anyone is interested.

Not online but I'm in my 7th year with Michigan. Just had my greatest game this morning (#1 with a little over 1500 score) in a loss to LSU. I was leading 17-14 and blew it. Was #1 and then fell behind Alabama who I just beat in the first game of the year (we're both 2-1). I know it would be too hard for EA to account for head to head games for every team in the polls but I think they should use head to head logic for Top 10 teams with the same record. It would make it easier to stomach.

I do find that switching things up keeps it interesting. I ran a tradition offense for a few years. Ran a spread for 2-3 seasons and am now back to traditional. I've also increased game speed from Slow to Normal. And I went back to AA from Heisman. Nice changes.

P.S. I beat Bama in Tuscaloosa. NO good reason why they should be #5 while I'm #7 and I started out as #1.

I haven't played a general online game since August.

Was in four ODs, then one died out, and then I left two to get some more time and remain in Powerhouse.

Just started an Alabama "death penalty" offline dynasty in the last few days and we're currently terrible. Might transfer the report over here when I'm not lazy. :D

I had stopped playing a little while back because there were a few issues I got really frustrated with. Then I realized I hadn't started over with the sliders I was using since all of the patches and tuning sets had come out, only made small adjustments. I started over from default AA and have been slowly tweaking the sliders. I'm getting REALLY close to a set that gives me a really good experience so I'm hopeful I can start a new dynasty that will hold me over until 12 comes out (or most of the way anyway).

The Admins should throw together the 2010 The Gaming Tailgate Holiday Tournament to kill the time while ODs are slow.

Great idea!

I'm still playing in my offline dynasty (Duke) and in 2 ODs.

Yah I'm in an offline one I just started last week with Nebraska using the Luvtotha9s roster with some tweaks on the Husker side.

I haven't been playing recently, but after I get through with all of the Christmas/family time.. I'm planning on starting again. Might just be the excitement of the bowl season, but I miss playing the game!

OD's sound like a lot of fun, I haven't done any since 10', definitely looking to get back into one.

My interest and passion for the game always gets invigorated around this time of year as well!

You should look into joining the site's 360 OD. JB would know more, but I think we have an open spot or two. We advance twice a week.


Right now, I play in the site OD on both PS3 & 360, so that's four games a week maybe more if we get ahead of pace. I feel like I have abandoned my 1-man Nebraska OD, but I plan on getting back into it sometime over the holidays.

I played myself out in the summer and fall but now that I am finished my Madden season I will be sharing time between NCAA Football and NCAA basketball. My gaming most picks up after all the bowls and the super bowl when the sports duldrums set in.

I still play. I only play in one online dynasty. Limiting the number of online dynasties you play in keeps you from getting bored. Plus, we're currently in Season 5 so activity is a big part as well;)

I pretty much play ncaa or madden every day. I'm in one OD (cm legacy on ps3) and we're in year 4 I think. I play the occasional random online madden game, but mostly it's ncaa. I picked up ch2k8 but haven't really started anything yet.

After playing Madden for a few weeks I came back to NCAA last night and played two dynasty games. It's was really shocking for me to see how different the games play and feel. I have been outspoken about how dissapointed I have been with Madden this year. However, I am absolutely shocked with the contrast now AFTER MADDEN'S FIFTH PATCH. Madden's Defense is really strong and running the ball is excellent (the passing game is still way too easy still...). The gameplay actually rivals NCAA now IMO. If you haven't played Madden post patch five, give it a try and then try NCAA... you will notice significant differences (plus NCAA just seems so, so much faster... and I play on slow).

I still play quite often and we are in season 15.....lol. Yeah getting games in are extrememly important to keeping the game fun. Whats even funnier is durign xmas no one was on the game, and we all came back even though we have other games to play.

You can't expect anything from EA Sports. I went 13-1 in an online dynasty (winning the SEC) and two 2-loss teams made the National Championship instead of me :confused:

Yeah I still play often, I usually play a game a day if you average out the week. The thing that has kept me going strong has been the two online dynasties that I am in. I love playing in both of them because of the caliber of people in both. Plus with dynasty wire, recruiting and talking smack and having close games with humans I am still very interested. Along with those I have my personal offline dynasty that I use to have fun but also test playbooks for my online games and try and trophy hunt.
