      So does this mean that if I want to run my own dynasty as an online dyansty & be the commissioner of another OD then I will have to pay extra?! If so, I'm sorry but that's a JOKE!
      Can't you just use 2 different accounts? ...I'm not really sure how it works though

      I'm sure you could but then you have to set your sliders & custom sounds & settings for 2 different profiles. What a hassle! It should at least let you host 2. I noramally don't get too bent out of shape about EA's DLC because they're normally things not necessary to play the game. But this is a little different IMO.

      It's a good suggestion to host two for free....

      Wait I thought EA was putting in a "code" (for lack of a better word) in order to access their 11 titles online. If I buy the game and use the code for my "real" profile, will that "code"
      still work for any profile?

      If so, what is to stop anyone from just publishing their code to the world online allowing people to GameFly/Rent/Buy Used?

      Your code will unlock the access to online for everyone that uses your console. As well, if you go go over to a friends and sign in with your profile on their console, you'll be able to access online but just from your profile.

      So you can only host one, but… if you are the commish of a 12 team league and then want to use the dynasty wire features, wouldn’t you have to pay to run you solo dynasty since you’re already the commish of a 12 team league?

      If you want to post your login info to the world....go ahead LOL you would never get online ever again as you'd get kicked off when someone else logs in. It's going to be tied to your PSN name and gamertag. Whatever gamertag you're logged in under when you enter the code is what the Online Pass will be tied to.

      Yes you'd have to pay because you're technically hosting more than one dynasty on their server. So basically if you're planning on doing a solo dynasty with the online features, you should find someone else to host the other dynasty if you're not looking to purchase multiple hosts.

      As long as they fix the server issues that have plagued 2009 and 2010 for user vs user games I have no issues with having to fork over some money to host multiple online dynasties. However if things are not fixed, I'm going to question this whole idea.

      Considering that last year you had no option to host more than one dynasty, I don't see the problem with this. The majority of us aren't going to be hosting our own dynasties anyway, we're going to be part of someone else's.

      NCAA Football has been nominated for an award at E3 by Machinima.com. A partial list of EA game nominees can be found here. EA SPORTS MMA really cleaned up.

      I'm disappointed NCAA did not receive more nominations after the wide range of additions to the game and most notably the Dynasty Wire feature. FIFA and NHL 11 only combined for three nominations and they are considered two of the best sports games out there. I'm not sure how nominations work at E3. Does EA push for individual titles to get more nominations than others, similar to how the entertainment award shows work? It would make sense that they'd push MMA for more nominations to help the new title get some leverage before October's release. I'm sure MMA is deserving, so don't take my comment to mean it isn't.

      Yeah I don't get the "awards" either. I think it was IGN that nominated Madden 11 but not NCAA 11. Sorry but the features/improvements of Madden are no where near the features/improvements of NCAA and just about anyone from the "hard core" community sites admits that.
