Gaming Tailgate PS3 OD General Discussion Thread

[gschwendt]

:smh: i'm going to lose RGIII even though I have talked him into staying like 10 times now.

EDIT: Going to power down and power back up and see if that helps.

I'm almost certain it won't. Seems like this particular issue had gotten worse since around the time of the patch, possibly a server side change from before the patch.

[CLW]

I'm almost certain it won't. Seems like this particular issue had gotten worse since around the time of the patch, possibly a server side change from before the patch.

No luck. Still shows 3 people online in the OD. The only thing I can thing of is have everyone leave to see if I can talk players into staying. If not I'll just have to lose RGIII.

[CLW]

Says DLock and hova are still in the dynasty. Anyone know how to get them to backout of the dynasty real quick?

[gschwendt]

I really don't think you'll be able to get it to save. It's the same issue that keyzer soce had been describing for the past week or so.

[CLW]

I really don't think you'll be able to get it to save. It's the same issue that keyzer soce had been describing for the past week or so.

We had this same issue on 9/5 in my OD and if people had that problem if everyone backed out it worked. Dunno if it was luck of what but it might be worth a try.

[gschwendt]

Was that to get it to save or to allow y ou to be able to advance?

[CLW]

Was that to get it to save or to allow y ou to be able to advance?

Both

[Dukie98]

So where do we stand now?

[CLW]

LMAO I set myself to ready to advance went in and it appears to have saved/updated. ????

[CLW]

In any event if you are having a transfer fail problem you might try setting yourself to ready to advance then do whatever it is you need to do and then exit it out like normal.

[bjrod9]

LMAO I set myself to ready to advance went in and it appears to have saved/updated. ????

i cant do jack!

[cdj]

LOL. Good job, CLW. :D Are we ready to advance?

[gschwendt]

LMAO I set myself to ready to advance went in and it appears to have saved/updated. ????Wow... very interesting but very good to know. I'll be sure to pass that on tomorrow.

[CLW]

i cant do jack!

#1 Exit the OD

#2 Re-enter the OD and set yourself to Ready to Advance

#3 Enter the Players Leaving Section and Talk players that you want to keep

#4 Exit out

It worked for me who knows if it will work for you.

[DariusLock]

Done. I backed out then back in.

[cdj]

It shows bjrod as Idaho coach on Dynasty Central but does not list Idaho in the early team groupings as it does for other user controlled teams when viewing rosters.

[CLW]

Wow... very interesting but very good to know. I'll be sure to pass that on tomorrow.

Yeah I dunno if that was just dumb luck or if there is something to it. Obviously someone else would have to test that repeatedly to see if there was anything to it.

RGIII cheese lives on!

[bjrod9]

It shows bjrod as Idaho coach on Dynasty Central but does not list Idaho in the early team groupings as it does for other user controlled teams when viewing rosters.

I still keep getting transfer failed after shutting down and etc........

[CLW]

I still keep getting transfer failed after shutting down and etc........

When you get back into the OD did you 1st set yourself to ready to advance?

That's what I did but it may have just been dumb luck or something to do with the timing of what others are trying to do.

[cdj]

I backed out again if you want to give it another try, bj.

[bjrod9]

When you get back into the OD did you 1st set yourself to ready to advance?

no i was just kicked out,didnt get to set anything

[bjrod9]

I backed out again if you want to give it another try, bj.

Im gonna try again,if not i dont need to keep any players cause we are gonna rebuild

[bjrod9]

Im gonna try again,if not i dont need to keep any players cause we are gonna rebuild

Still no luck

[cdj]

Two players looking to transfer to SJSU:

Boise State QB Mike Tamburo (75 OVR)
Oregon HB Dontae Williams (79 OVR)

I cannot remember the last time I ever had a player want to transfer in, much less two quality players. Wow....

[Dukie98]

On the flip side, I lost my nickel back - within the conference, no less.

[novadolla]

Wow finally some good players now that i got the boot. Also that recruiting class coming in is horrible, you will have your work cut out for you.

[cdj]

We are now at Week One of Off-Season Recruiting

[CLW]

Ready to advance through recruiting. No recruits are interested in me other than players that have already signed.

[gschwendt]

Syracuse ready for week 2. Depending on response from recruits, I'll likely be done with all recruiting as well. Wish I could bring those two stud CBs I signed from UL Lafayette with me.

[CLW]

Are we going to go through the entire off-season tonight or is it safe for me to hit the sack? The next time I would need to do anything is cut players.

[JBHuskers]

I added some :4star: and :3star: talent to the board to see who listens.

[Dukie98]

Finally got the one-star tight end who soft verballed a few weeks ago to pull the trigger. I'm not sure if that should excite me or depress me.

[CLW]

Well guys I have to get up super early tomorrow morning so I am going to hit the sack. I am finished recruiting so I shouldn't need to do anything until cut players. If I am holding up the dynasty just advance and I'll hope/pray the CPU doesn't do something stupid with cuts.

[cdj]

I'd say we call it good for the night and try to make sure everyone gets a shot at least at some recruiting. We should be able to get this done by the end of the weekend.

[DariusLock]

We going to week 2 or staying at 1?

[JBHuskers]

I'll be around for parts of Friday and Saturday. Should be good to go Sunday night too.

[cdj]

We going to week 2 or staying at 1?

Stay at week one. I'd really like all users to do manual activity for week one and that should allow for us to fly through the rest (hopefully).

[gschwendt]

I'll be around tomorrow night but saturday and sunday I'll be out of pocket all day but should be able to check in late each night.

[cdj]

HANDSWARD, Sinister, and bjrod remain for Week One recruiting. We want to advance by Friday evening, if not sooner.

[DariusLock]

Hopefully sooner hehe, ready to get my first OD game in.

[Sinister]

i'm done

[bjrod9]

HANDSWARD, Sinister, and bjrod remain for Week One recruiting. We want to advance by Friday evening, if not sooner.

i still cant access anything

[gschwendt]

i still cant access anything

Need you to post more info... What can't you access? The whole OD, just recruiting, what?

[bjrod9]

Need you to post more info... What can't you access? The whole OD, just recruiting, what?transfer failed

The whole Od, It downloads then transfer failed everytime

[gschwendt]

transfer failed

The whole Od, It downloads then transfer failed everytimeIn that case, I'd probably recommend that Chris boot you from the OD (or you select Retire from the OD select screen), then you rejoin. But when you rejoin, make sure you choose Use Existing Coach and select the same coach position where you retired from.

[bjrod9]

In that case, I'd probably recommend that Chris boot you from the OD, then you rejoin. But when you rejoin, make sure you choose Use Existing Coach and select the same coach position where you retired from.

Sounds Good

[CLW]

if that doesn't work bjrod you might try deleting your OD file off of your PS3 and then re-downloading it.

[Sinister]

i know alot leagues ended up stuck at this part and didn't finish their od you think this is going to happen to us?

[cdj]

I hope not!

bjrod - let me know if you have resigned and I will resend an invite. Hopefully that works.

[bjrod9]

I hope not!

bjrod - let me know if you have resigned and I will resend an invite. Hopefully that works.

im gonna resign,so send me invite pls

[cdj]

Will hop on in a few and send the invite!

[bjrod9]

Will hop on in a few and send the invite!

10-4

[cdj]

Invite sent.

I sent HANDSWARD a message on FB about recruiting. Hopefully he can get on tonight so we can advance tomorrow morning.

bj - let me know if this works for you. I'll hop on again later and check in here.

[bjrod9]

it worked but somehow i got head coach and started fresh i believe

[cdj]

Advanced to Week 2 of Recruiting.

Will aim to advance again tonight.....

[JBHuskers]

Will try to get this done between the Husker game and DJ'ing tonight, but I'll be gone for the rest of the night after 7:30 central.

[CLW]

Baylor is finished recruiting this off-season. I believe I set myself to autopilot but if not consider me ready to advance until Cut Players Stage.

[cdj]

Last I looked (late last night), Gschwendt, Sinister, and DariusLock remained for Wk 2 recruiting.

[Sinister]

brotha man is done

[gschwendt]

Sorry, been out of town the last couple of days. I'll get my recruiting done early tomorrow.

[cdj]

We have advanced to Week 3 of recruiting.

[Sinister]

done hopefully we can get two in today

[cdj]

DLock and Dukie98 remain for Week 3 Recruiting.

[DariusLock]

I've been away sorry. I'm not really worried about my offseason recruiting.

[Dukie98]

DLock and Dukie98 remain for Week 3 Recruiting.

I'm trying to get on through the website to knock it out, but the EA site has been down all day, apparently.

[gschwendt]

I'm trying to get on through the website to knock it out, but the EA site has been down all day, apparently.Yeah, they've been doing maintenance on all easports.com websites. The OD site has been hit & miss throughout the day.

[DariusLock]

I'm done.

[Dukie98]

I was able to get most of the way through the website. On the last two, however, it kicked me off after I said I wanted to use 60 minutes on them, and I wasn't able to select any of the topics. OK to advance.

[cdj]

I'll be advancing here in a few. Let's aim on getting all recruiting done by tomorrow afternoon/evening.

[DariusLock]

Done...I'm only in on a few players ha.

[cdj]

HANDSWARD, Sinister, JBHuskers, Escobar remain.

I'll advance again early this evening and hopefully again later in the evening so we can have this aspect done.

[JBHuskers]

I'll do it after work.

[Sinister]

i'm done finished this morning

[cdj]

We have advanced to Week 5 of Recruiting. I'm hoping we can get this finished tonight.

[gschwendt]

Syracuse ready to advance after picking up an integral :4star: OLB

[JBHuskers]

Done.

[DariusLock]

hoping on now

READY for my first game haha.

[DariusLock]

Ok I'm done with week 5 recruiting.

[cdj]

HANDSWARD let me know that he will do his around midnight tonight, so hopefully everyone else can as well. :)

[Sinister]

done yo

[Dukie98]

I'm done - 10/12 in.

[cdj]

We will advance to the offseason tonight. We lost power this morning so I was unable to advance then. Let's plan on starting the season Monday.

[Sinister]

WORD

[JBHuskers]

We have advanced to Position Changes. I'll advance again either late Friday night or Saturday afternoon.

[Dukie98]

After facing the prospect of going into next season with walk-ons at punter and kicker, Western Michigan got commitments from a 3-star punter and 2-star kicker in the final week of offseason recruiting. The Broncos also got two three-star athletes who didn't have them in their top ten going into the final week, but apparently no one else thought they warranted a scholarship.

[DariusLock]

Signed a 4 star WR, he is the 4th best player on the team before training haha.

[JBHuskers]

I'll advance to cut players around 5 tonight when I get back home.

[DariusLock]

Boooo, ready to see what Memphis can do this year hahah.

[JBHuskers]

We have advanced to cut players. We will advance again early tomorrow night.

[cdj]

At Preseason now. Let's plan on advancing Wednesday.

[DariusLock]

Gonna jump on in a bit and knock mine out.

[DariusLock]

Ready to advance.

[cdj]

HANDSWARD, bjrod, Sinister, JBHuskers remain.

[JBHuskers]

I'm done.

[CLW]

Slackers! It's time for me to get my RGIII Cheese on! :nod:

[cdj]

HANDSWARD and Sinister remain. We'll advance tonight.

[Sinister]

i did mine last night

[Sinister]

i did redshirts and recruiting

[cdj]

OK, sorry about that. It isn't showing you as Ready. If you get a free moment today, you may want to make sure the changes stuck.

I'll drop HANDSWARD a line and we should be good to go for S2. Good luck, all!

[Sinister]

shit man that won't be til later tonite that sucks

[cdj]

I'm guessing it stuck, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

HANDSWARD probably won't be on to do his until this evening (he has a big work event this week but usually makes time to finish his tasks), so I can wait to advance until you check tonight.

[Sinister]

ok i was on last nite when you sent me the message when i was done with my OF i did that . ok ill check.

[Sinister]

somehow i recruited a 3 star punter that ended up 81 ovr ....:))

[Sinister]

i take it we advance gotta check my console, but i did recruiting when the first week gonna start

[DariusLock]

Yeah we advanced. BJ sad he can't play till late Saturday, I'll be watching Ole Miss vs Fresno late...so we will see. I'm available all day Sunday and anytime other tha the Ole Miss game and a few other big ones this week :).

[CLW]

:Baylor: ready to advance to get its cheese on!

[DariusLock]

[bjrod9]

Is BJ on Auto Pilot this week too or is he gonna play me? If he's auto I'll finish the game today.

I will play and take auto pilot off

[DariusLock]

K, Midnight Saturday or morning time Sunday is good with me,

[cdj]

FYI: Planning on advancing late tomorrow night.

[DariusLock]

Trying to get a time from BJ.

[bjrod9]

Trying to get a time from BJ.

Sorry for making you wait man,go ahead and play the cpu,the wife is driving me nuts:easy: just take it easy on my vandals,again sorry for any inconvenience this week

[DariusLock]

Hopping on to play Idaho.

Sidetracked! Playing now.

[DariusLock]

I feel you BJ, I'm married too. I barely won the game 23-19! Wow, your RB tore my D up...your QB went 38% completion though. Idaho turned the ball over on downs with 12 seconds left on the 15 yard line after already converting one 4th down on a long pass. Memphis needs to step up!

[cdj]

We have advanced to Week 2.

User Games this week:

Western Michigan (dukie98) at Tulane (JBHuskers)
San Diego State (Sinister) at Syracuse (gschwendt)

We will advance again Wednesday night.

[Sinister]

alright g when can you do it . let me know i'm usually good at night after 10

[bjrod9]

gg,sounds like the vandals will pretty good this season,good luck rest of the season

[CLW]

:Baylor: upsets :Virginia_Tech: with a wild 42-35 victory that saw the Bears put up 14 points in the last minute of the game to steal a come from behind W. RGIII had some bad breaks with Hokie D-Lineman tipping two balls that were picked and another INT that his his receiver in the hands only to fall right into the arms of the Hokie safety.

Despite the 4 Baylor turnovers they were in a position to tie the game late and RGIII picked apart the Hokies defense who played the entire game in hyper aggressive mode. That hyper aggressive play calling backfired big time. After a turnover at midfield with 20 seconds remaining in a tie ball game, OC Wyatt told RGIII to look for the streak and if that wasn't open to throw the ball away or make a play with your legs. Va Tech called a 7 man blitz which left Goodley wide open for a 50 yard touchdown bomb to give the Bears the win.

[Marlowe]

It's going to be a long ass season for me. I don't think my controllers will survive the CPU cheese. >(

[gschwendt]

alright g when can you do it . let me know i'm usually good at night after 10I assume that's 10pm et? If so, I'll look for you tonight around then but if it doesn't happen, I can go pretty much any night. Just let me know which night works best for you.

[gschwendt]

alright g when can you do it . let me know i'm usually good at night after 10Sent you a friend request but never saw you on. Let me know if there's a best night that works for you.

[JBHuskers]

Dukie and I will play around 11:30 tonight.

[Sinister]

hey guys sorry i've haven't been around i got stuff goin on wit my son and my power is out it should get fixed tomorrow i don't want you guys waiting for me so G you can play the cpu. I don't know if i can do it tommorrow. My power has been off since yesterday.

[gschwendt]

I had cdj put Sinister on auto-pilot and just getting on now to get the game in but it doesn't show him as auto-pilot.

Sinister, if you can access the web site at all, you can put yourself on auto-pilot from there, hopefully that will take but if not, then cdj may have to just try again.

[cdj]

I put Sinister on Auto-pilot. I'm not sure why it didn't stay from before....

[Sinister]

sorry bout that man i'm at work so that you know I appreciate it

[gschwendt]

sorry bout that man i'm at work so that you know I appreciate itcdj tried again to set it to auto-pilot but for whatever reason it's not taking (I've seen it before). I don't suppose you can access the OD website (http://www.easports.com/dynasty) from work can you? The reason I ask, possibly if you were to set it to auto-pilot on the website, maybe it would take and I can could go ahead and play the game.

If not, then our only options would be to either boot you from the OD for the week, or sim the game (which I'm not in favor of at all). Additionally, if you knew for sure when you might be available, I could make time, though Thursday would have to be late (11:30et/10:30ct) and the weekend is out for me.

[DariusLock]

Booting him would prob. be the easiest solution, then just reinvite.

[Sinister]

i'll put it on auto now .

just checked its already on auto pilot

[gschwendt]

i'll put it on auto now .

just checked its already on auto pilotTry taking it off and putting it back on. Not sure if that will change anything but worth a shot.

[Sinister]

Try taking it off and putting it back on. Not sure if that will change anything but worth a shot. did try it now

[gschwendt]

did try it nowNope... didn't take. I'll let cdj figure out what to do.

[gschwendt]

Game played, ready to advance.

Syracuse holds on for the victory against the visiting San Diego State Aztecs with a late TD setting the final score of 28-18. Offensively, it was a one man show for the Orange as HB Princetyson Gulley carried the ball 32 times for 210 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Gulley also added 5 receptions for 83 yards and another score. Defensively the Orange were solid but nothing to brag about as they allowed 369 total offensive yards for the Aztecs, with 250 of that coming through the air. The bright spot for the defense was DT Jay Bromley who recorded 11 total tackles with 5 tackles for loss and 4 sacks.

"We gave up the big play today... that's the only excuse for us on defense. We had them stopped and had them in a position we wanted them only for us to get beat deep or miss a tackle at the line allowing a runningback to break free. We've made some adjustments to our lineup, particularly our secondary which should help us prevent more of that in the future. We'll be fine... this was our first game of the season and we have to fix some of the bad habits that the old coaching staff taught these guys. We've got a rough slate ahead so we'll have to grow up fast, but I know this team can get it done."

Syracuse starts conference play next week as they travel to Maryland for their first ACC game in the history of the program. After that, their season doesn't get any easier as they are either on the road or facing a Top 25 opponent every week.


Sorry we didn't get to play Sin... hope everything works out for you on your end.

[cdj]

Sinister - I booted you so G could play the CPU and just sent you an invite back in. Can you log on tonight and accept it? I plan on advancing in the morning, but would like you to be back as SDSU coach so the CPU doesn't screw up your recruiting board too badly in the week advance.

[cdj]

We have advanced to Week 3. Only one user game.

[Sinister]

i accept after work today

[CLW]

FYI - If I don't have a chance to play tonight, I won't be able to play until Sunday afternoon.

[Sinister]

hey i accepted invite and i only gave me one star teams to pick from
so i accepted Eastern Michigan again?

[cdj]

I removed you again and set starting pt as 2-star schools so SDSU should now be an option. I am worried it won't take effect until we advance to the next week, however. Let me know if it works.

[Sinister]

ok i'll try it when i get home, i send you a message on psn if it doesn't

[Sinister]

Cdj just keep me out im gonna play in another dynasty no hard feelings

[cdj]

HANDSWARD, clw, and bjrod remain.

I had forgotten this is a holiday weekend, so I'll wait and advance it until late tonight.

[CLW]

Sorry for the delay guys I was out of town this weekend for a wedding. I played my game this morning and defeated :Texas: 24-17.

[Dukie98]

Have we advanced?

[CLW]

Have we advanced?

I don't think so...

[cdj]

We have advanced.

We'll advance again on Saturday night.

[gschwendt]

Syracuse Defeats #11 UNC 28-0

Fans of defense got their money's worth this week as The Orange put on a defensive show, shutting out the #11 ranked Tarheels and only allowing 230 total offensive yards. In addition, the collegiate version of the Orange Crush defense managed to force 4 turnovers, 2 of which were returned for touchdown. Offensively, The Orange were stale in the first half being shut out as well, however in the second half, they managed to add two touchdowns of their own.

"I think today showed how important a solid defense is. Our offense of old reared it's ugly head but our new look defense, courtesy coach Boudreaux, managed to keep us in the game and for all intents and purposes, won the game for us today. If you had told me last year that we'd be playing the #11 team in the country, give up two turnovers, and still win by four touchdowns, I'd have laughed at you. But this year our defense helps us to make that happen."

With the win, Syracuse moves to 3-0 (2-0) on the early season and next will travel to face Virginia.

[DariusLock]

What's the best way to contact Esco, tried the scheduling thread and private message.

[Escobar]

I pm'd you back with my number. Text me because I have a show on Monday, so I have practice everynight til Sunday

[DariusLock]

Memphis sucked it up losing 29-19. Andy threw 3 ints, no tds!! Two of the picks were bad throws by Andy, the third was on me hitting the wrong dang button when I was down by 3 freaking points driving!! Rhodes had a terrific day on the ground, but everytime he broke a run he was ran down from behind by the MTSU safety who has BLAZING speed compared to my guys. The line left Andy out to dry as he was hit early and often in this game.

[Dukie98]

Handsward and I played our game- or tried to. He got booted off twice midway through the first half, then gave me the go-ahead to finish up against the CPU. Western Michigan beat UAB, 41-7.

[cdj]

JB remains.

We'll advance today after he plays.

[DariusLock]

Dang it JB!

[JBHuskers]

:D

Looks like I'll play it sooner than later. Was going to have a user game at 3 in another league, but that's getting moved. I'll start here in the next 10 mins.

[HANDSWARD]

DariusLock, bro, you're all over my recruiting board. Stop it! My team sucks..... I NEED THESE GUYS! I think I'll get demoted to O-Line coach after this season if I don't hook my D up with that pair of safeties.
