Sorry for causing all the problems with OD.. :dunno:

It honestly could have happened to any of us. Not a big deal, thank god we had a save file to keep going and did not have to start all over.

[cdj]

I lost my connection yesterday and replayed the game. Not sure why it says Restarted 2 Times. (Maybe it knew I had already play it once before and won before the file went haywire. :P)

I think it's just miss stated in-game. It should just say "game was started 2 times"

[JBHuskers]

It appears that I can't get into the re-created OD on the net, so I don't have e-mail notifications anymore....so if you happen to be browsing the OD, definitely let me know if everyone is done....

I am actually having the exact same problem, I am hoping it changes after we advance the week.

Good point.....any update Romo and Solidice? I would like to advance tonight.

if you were one of the guys that were already in the OD without any invites, this usually happens. the game recognizes you to be in the OD, but the site doesn't. in my other OD, we had to remove/reinvite those guys before the site would recognize them.

as for the game, I think the Sugar Bowl took our time away. hopefully we can get it done today sometime.

[HawkFan]

Alright, so if we advance and we still can not get into the OD site we are going to remove us and reinvite us. I'm cool with that. Still want to wait and see what happens after the advance.

From my experience some of us were able to get into it and some could never get in.

Well that would kind of suck, I like being able to get email alerts but ti would not be the end of the world if I could never get another one.

[JBHuskers]

Been talking with Ben Haumiller and if advancing the week doesn't fix it, I will send an invite to a gamertag of theirs so they can take a look at it.

That's awesome, thanks for doing that.

[JBHuskers]

It looks like we lost that week of recruiting :(

Week is advanced, no user games so this week will be advanced early Sunday night.

Ouch, but as we say at work it is what it is.

[cdj]

Beat GT 35-34 last night.

They scored 28 in the 2nd quarter to rally from a 14-0 deficit. Maybe it's just me, but the GT offense is much better with anyone else at QB than default QB out of the box, Nesbitt. The option by the CPU still needs work, but with anyone but Nesbitt, they did seem able to torch my pass D at times.

Each team fumbled it quite a few times (esp. GT) but they seemed to recover most of theirs.

[JBHuskers]

I have website access now....retiring and getting re-invited worked.

After you advance the week, kick me out and then re-invite. I still cant access the website.

You guys have been kicked and re-invited.

Additionally, Dave Wales from Academic Gaming & Playstation University has been added to the dynasty and will take over a Big Ten school.

[HawkFan]

I will be able to get back on tomorrow night.

[JBHuskers]

Looks like Dave is out, so we'll be back to 8. I think I'm going to just keep it at this, as most of you are the original group if not all of you (can't remember)....

[AustinWolv]

[JBHuskers]

Sent me a DM....OD just isn't for him he said.

[AustinWolv]

Hope I didn't offend him......actually did go vanilla the whole 2nd half......

[JBHuskers]

I'm going to get my game in and then see where we are ... deadline is tonight.

[Chase]

Hope I didn't offend him......actually did go vanilla the whole 2nd half......

seriously doubt your game with him did anything that wouldnt have happened later. ive only played you once and i know your legit, im sure these other guys know better than me.

its great group, i dont think we need any more. just glad i was able to make the cut. i think our current layout makes sense anyway, sense the big ten doesnt have a conference championship game.

[JBHuskers]

If Chase isn't back by the offseason, I will remove him, and he's welcome to join back any time.

[cdj]

If Chase isn't back by the offseason, I will remove him, and he's welcome to join back any time.

I hope everything is OK with him. I sent an XBL message but didn't get a response, even though he was online.

[lilheavy]

He told me awhile back that if he is online during the day it's most likely someone else on his account. If he is on its usually later at night.

[JBHuskers]

I am going to be out Tues-Sat next week. We should be in the offseason by then. Hopefully we should be done with offseason and started in year four by then. If not, is there anyone that I can transfer the commish to?

[JBHuskers]

Please welcome HawkFan back into the dynasty! He'll go back to taking over Iowa and I will add him tonight before I get my bowl game in.

[HawkFan]

Thanks JB, I am glad to be back. This is one of my favorite dynasties of all time. I look forward to being very active again and helping out wherever I can. Long story short around the time one of my parents had health problems I lost my job. In an effort to find a new job quickly I cut my dynasty play back to one dynasty the on I play with my brothers. Now that I am accepting a job offer tomorrow and my life is coming back to normal I am ready to go and can not wait.

[cdj]

Welcome back, Hawkfan! Glad to hear everything is going well now.

[JBHuskers]

Sent a PM to everyone to see if we can organize everyone tonight to try to get the offseason completely done before the end of the weekend.

[Solidice]

I'm free tonight, possibly tomorrow night, though not 100% sure right now.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah I want to try to get everyone in tonight if possible.

[HawkFan]

I am available starting around 8pm eastern and can be doing the stuff all night if need be.

[cdj]

I am free all night as well.

[HawkFan]

That's awesome, Lilheavy and Romo are usually on for long periods of time so this might just happen. Would be outstanding to get something like this done on short notice with so many people.

[JBHuskers]

Going to advance now.

[HawkFan]

Putting the kids to sleep in 25 minutes then I will accept the invite and get going.

[JBHuskers]

Cool, I'm stuck on end of bowl season, gotta wait 10 mins to be able to advance to end of season :D

[HawkFan]

I hate that. In my dynasty with my two brothers we set aside a night where we will all be on to finish end of the season stuff and some of the steps literally take all of 2 minutes and do not take much thought but you still have to wait 10 minutes before advancing.

[Solidice]

recruiting looks to be extremely better in season 3 for the Terps, 3 early 4* commitments.

[AustinWolv]

First game of the season and early defections to the NFL have hurt the offense. Ugh. Then, starting QB gets injured and is out for 6 weeks. Nice.

At least a couple recruits committed.

[Solidice]

recruiting looking much better this season for the Terps. 3 more commitments this week. 3* HB David Johnson from White Oak, MD. 3* JUCO(Jr) T Robert Morris from Arkansas City, KS. and 3* JUCO(Jr) QB Kevin Jones from Summit, NJ. 6 commitments already. don't think I've ever had that many commit this early in the season before.

the other 3 guys I got in week 1
4* WR Markeith Wilkerson from Glen Allen, VA
4* CB Max Lott from Middle River, MD
4* QB Randy Cooper from Robinson, PA

[JBHuskers]

So who's going to try to sabotage another user and take the job at their alma mater :D :nod:

If I get the offer, abso-fuckin'-lutely. :nod:

:up: that is one of those (never thought of until the formation of the NCAA 12 OD's) good things about this game. :nod:

[morsdraconis]

Gotta make a rule where if you steal someone's alma mater, you gotta play at that person's place next year in a mandatory one and done game as one of your user vs user games.

Gotta give them a chance to make your record as shit as possible so you'll get fired. :D

They gave Rodriguez three in real life..........

You better pay someone to protect Nebraska if you take UM.........

:D

I've always had a small place in my heart for Michigan and Nebraska ;) :P

:D :D

This shit is gonna be AWESOME!

[baseballplyrmvp]

hopefully microsoft has re-activated my account by the 12th. its still locked pending their investigation over some fraudulant charges that were made to my credit card. however, i did receive a call from them today, saying that they're hoping to have a resolution for me by this time next week.

[JBHuskers]

I will redeem my online pass tomorrow, and get this OD set up tomorrow night.

[baseballplyrmvp]

are we starting this on tuesday? bc i may have to have the od invite sent to another xbl account i'm using, until this one gets reactivated by microsoft.

Starting once Fairdale Kings finishes his rosters.

[Justin66]

good luck guys dont run up the score to bad on me lol

[JBHuskers]

You can follow the progress of his rosters here....

http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/showthread.php?2686-FAIRDALE-KINGS-rosters-(360)-coming-soon!!!

[JBHuskers]

Looks like Fairdale will be done somewhere in the window of Thursday-Saturday. I think we will aim to launch Sunday or Monday if that is the case.

[JBHuskers]

One more item. We are going to be strict on the deadline (3 days if no user games, 4 days if there are) and the two-week inactivity period. Especially the inactivity period in the beginning of the dynasty. As long as there are people waiting to get in, if you've not done your work for two weeks in a row, you're out and will have to reapply to get on the waitlist.

[morsdraconis]

:up:

[AustinWolv]

I'm ok with that. It isn't overly demanding nor too long of a wait, so sounds reasonable on paper.

[morsdraconis]

So, for sliders, are we using :sf:'s sliders? (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/showthread.php?2600-steelerfan-s-Slider-Work-and-Stats-Thread-(NCAA-12)&p=77134&viewfull=1#post77134)

Yeah I'll check to see if they're finalized yet. 8 minute quarters though.

[JBHuskers]

I'm also going to keep the speed at normal.

[JBHuskers]

There is a good chance that invites could go out tonight.

[HawkFan]

JB are you going to use Smooths update with the coaches for FK rosters or leave them random names. Doesn't mater to me either way.

Yeah I just caught up with all that....I will use Smooth's update.

[morsdraconis]

Edit for JB's response:

Cool. Sounds like a plan.

[baseballplyrmvp]

i just made a new xbl account and gamertag. so send the invite to that one, if you could.

[JBHuskers]

Until the web is updated, if anyone ever happens to log on and catches how many people are left at any given time, I'd defintely appreciate it. Sometimes the e-mail updates for the league being ready to advance don't always work so it's appreciated. Just randomly post it in the current week's thread. Thanks!

[baseballplyrmvp]

i count 8 stories of user games on the web.....leaving 3 to go?

[Architekto]

I have a bye but I've been ready to advance for a while

[JBHuskers]

If there is no word from Chase by tomorrow, we'll go to the next one on the list.

[Chase]

still here. still don't haven't got my account back from microsoft so im using the temp GT 'Bryce Cotton'

[JBHuskers]

Okay Tex sent me a message saying he wants to be moved back in the waitlist while he's in 2 OD's and once one dies out he'll join here.....so I'll see if Beatn wants in now, if he doesn't then I'll send you an invite Chase.

[Whatcha]

Is that because he was already in? If so then that's fine. Just curious why we'd go from #1 to #3 on the waiting list instead of taking it in order. :)

Ooops my bad :D you're #1 on the list going to edit it now.

[Architekto]

going to get my game in tonight, but quick question, how long does the game take playing as OC?

[HawkFan]

Maybe 30 to 40 depending how much of your defense you want to watch.

[Architekto]

thanks, with how awful my D looks on paper, it will probably be on the short side :D

[Whatcha]

No problem. I know I don't post much, but I'm on here all the time. :) can't believe I'm anxious to get my hands on Eastern Michigan. Talk about your glutton for punishment.

[AustinWolv]

If anyone can make Ron English look good, it is whatcha. Well, not physically in looks, just on the field. ;)

[JBHuskers]

Trust me....I'm :Eastern_Michigan: in :sf:'s OD, I cannot get out of this school sooner. I'm 2-6.

[Whatcha]

I played a season with the offline on default heisman as the OC and finished 5-7. Hoping to do better over here.

[baseballplyrmvp]

so i'm looking at the players of the week for week 1.....how in the hell did akron's rb, dale martin, get 636 yards on 40 carries in a 52-7 loss to ohio state?

holy shit, martin's longest run was for only 9 yards, but had 459 yards after contact and broke 101 tackles. ohio state's defensive statistics look like a season's total. ohio state's lolb, andrew sweet, had 66 tackles in the game, johnathan hawkins had 37, storm klein had 36, and adam bellamy had 14!

[morsdraconis]

Yeah, That game might serious fuck shit up. On the Dynasty Wire, whenever I go to look at my game statistics for my game against Temple, it always shows the statistics for that game. It's very strange.

[JBHuskers]

Beatn has stepped down from the OD and has been asked to be put in the back of the waitlist....will PM Whatcha and invite him in tonight.

[Whatcha]

Will except the invite once I get it. :)

[Whatcha]

Or accept, depending on how I feel like spelling it at the time. LOL!!

[JBHuskers]

I've reported the issue to Ben. I will try one more time after work.

[JBHuskers]

Mors is dropping out of the OD, so when anyone on the waitlist is ready to go, there will be a spot open.

[Pig Bomb]

are we stuck or what???

[Chase]

im ready

[AustinWolv]

Wasn't on last night surprisingly, is the week updated?

[Whatcha]

Not yet. JB has tried advancing and it isn't transferring the file. At least that's what he's posted. He said he's notified haumiller.

[AustinWolv]

Yeah, saw that, didn't know if there was an update since then.

[JBHuskers]

I'll try after work tonight. I wasn't home at all last night.

[JBHuskers]

Still no dice, I even transferred the commish to cdj and he couldn't get it advanced. Passed on a video of me uploading to Ben.

[lilheavy]

I recieved two emails stating that we were in week 3. One from JB and one from cdj. Haven't checked on the game yet though.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah it didn't advance. It seems to be a widespread problem on the 360 side.

[AustinWolv]

Maybe the week advanced in an alternate universe and lilheavy gets emails from his twin there. :)


It seems to be a widespread problem on the 360 side.

:(

[JBHuskers]

Every time I tried to advance (8 or 9 times) I got an e-mail that it advanced.

[Whatcha]

This is 1 of 4 online dynasties I'm in. It is the only one that's having this problem. We are beyond week 8 or 9 in all the others. I believe someone said that people joining and leaving in the same week could be causing the issue. I believe there may be some truth to that (by my estimates there were 14 or so people that played in week 2).

[lilheavy]

So we waiting for a fix or starting over?

[JBHuskers]

Will try to get clarification on Monday.

[lilheavy]

Nevermind just read about it in the other thread.

[lilheavy]

Alright fellas. I think i'm going to go ahead and drop out of the dynasty. My plate is pretty full right now and I have two other dynasty's that i'm in that rolls at a pretty good pace. Hopefully sometime down the road I will be able to jump back in.

[JBHuskers]

I got word that this may be fixed. It didn't work for Steelerfan, but he couldn't get into the OD at all. I am able to, but just can't get past uploading the OD to the server. I will try this when I get home tonight.

[JBHuskers]

You'll probably see an e-mail shortly after 6:30 central. I'll post in here if it is successful.

[JBHuskers]

Didn't have time to check before I left. Will post an update later tonight.
