[skipwondah33]

I have to be on the brink of being ranked having knocked off #5 Oklahoma. The sim loss hurt but o should be close

[ryby6969]

I am ranked #19 and cannot buy a freaking recruit.

[ryby6969]

ID, we are up. I can play Saturday night or Sunday during the day. Let me know what works for you.

Over/under this game is actually completed? lol. Not funny but its to that point now

Screw you skip!

[skipwondah33]

Screw you skip!

Haha I'm just saying with the disco's. Anytime I have a user game I give it a 25% or lower chance of actually getting through the entire game

[Papa LoneStar]

ugggghhhhh....Indiana up 21-14....Iowa State attempts a 45 yard FG....FIRST play in the 4th....disconnect....another classic MAC 4th quarter ruined. We are trying again.

[psusnoop]

Oh man that stinks, sounds like it would have been another classic game.

If that happens to me again it's a wrap lol

[gschwendt]

We discovered something on Papa's end though... every disconnected game he's had was at his mom's house and the one that played through smoothly (against Minnesota) was at his dad's. He's going to try again from his dad's house on Sunday.

I'm betting it's some settings that can probably clean up his connection abit... I imagine a lot of the disconnections could be cleaned up somewhat due to that, though that doesn't excuse sloppy network coding by EA.

[skipwondah33]

Well it must be only effecting NCAA then. I've even tried switching. Playing the same exact person in Madden, then NCAA, then Madden again, then NCAA again. Worked fine, disco'd, worked fine, disco'd

Madden 12?

[skipwondah33]

Madden 11.

Wasn't necessarily testing this before after the game dropped but I noticed that I wasn't losing connections in Madden but would in NCAA. I tested this last weekend and that is what I got. A friend of mine would disco each time. Actually I haven't been able to finish any games against my friends. Yet all of them play in my Madden leagues and we don't disco.

Yeah, and in the same respect, for the most part there were very few problems with DCs in NCAA 11. I'm betting they modified their network code and that's why we're seeing all of these DCs... so that's why I asked if it was Madden 12. If it's using the same network code, they you might see similar issues in Madden 12.

That is unless of course they figured out the problems and are fixed in Madden 12 and thus hopefully fixed in NCAA12 post-patch 2.

[ryby6969]

Well, on a bright note I have been able to finish my last few user vs user games. If it does not get fixed in the patch, I don't what I will do. I will more than likely start looking for a Madden league or two.

[Kingpin32]

I'll get my game in tomorrow.

[ryby6969]

ID, where are you at? I can go tomorrow up until the evening.

[Iron Dragon]

I hate to say it - but I've decided to jump out for the rest of the season if not for awhile longer. I'm just busy lately and my internet has been too crappy to run online games whether it's EA's problems or not.

I guess you can go ahead and put me on auto-pilot unless you want to find someone else to take my spot. I might rejoin soon, I might not.. I'll have a more definite answer soon. It might just be short-term, I don't know.

[gschwendt]

Leave it to the one time we're able to actually finish an entire* game, I get completely EA'd in the first half.
