Had connectivity and freezing issues at Loading screen when I did finally get connected to servers. Game froze twice at Loading screen. So I may or may not show as 2 restarts.

Never did actually get into the game after I waited an hour to connect to the servers.

On another note Louisiana Tech strikes again. Took this TE I really wanted something serious. Bad stretch to have some bye weeks lol

Advance Wednesday

Anyone else ever have the issue where you scout a guy but it doesn't actually reveal his ratings? I had it start happening Week 14 last season and now it's starting this week. If you scout on the web, you get nothing but a loss of points... if you scout on the console, you see the results, but as soon as you back out, they're gone.

If you scout on the web, you get nothing but a loss of points... if you scout on the console, you see the results, but as soon as you back out, they're gone.I had that happen in a test dynasty I ran, but not in this OD (at least not that I've noticed, I haven't kept almost anyone I've scouted in the last few weeks). In the test dynasty it started happening around Week 9, I want to say, but that dynasty involved using every single point I had on scouting, over the entire course of the season, so by the end of the year I had scouted over 1000 players and had all kinds of wacky stuff going on (like losing the results of guys I scouted in the Preseason and Week 1).

I think the game has a limit on how much you can scout, but I'd be very surprised if you were hitting that limit this early.

I'll be scouting a bunch of guys either today or Wednesday, G, I'll try to remember to look at the results, though I'll be doing it on the console.

FWIW, I'll be playing Wednesday.

Scouted 3 TE's. It said I unlocked 6 ratings but didn't reveal any of them. I did 2 on the web and it happened.

Then I did 1 on the console and same thing happened. It said I didn't scout him.

[gschwendt]

Thankfully I pretty well have the rest of my targets lined up... I was just looking for some stragglers to pad my class.

[skipwondah33]

I didnt target any other TE's because I wanted that gem of one I found. 6-6, 270 with a 4.5 forty.

Tech took him at the end again. I led for a good bit

[psusnoop]

I've had that happen G.

[gschwendt]

Florida Loses to South Carolina as the Two Teams Combined for 41 Points in the Final 4 Minutes

However, the Gators did manage a moral victory out of it...

[skipwondah33]

Not sure what's going on but game keeps freezing at Loading screen

3rd time it's happened. Appears to happen soon as I hit OK for 2nd play book after it loaded.

Circle animation beside Loading doesn't move at all

[skipwondah33]

Up to 5 times now. Deleted Game Data, then tried with same result.

Going to try without playbooks here next time. After not sure what to do.

Haven't had any issue prior to this.

Damn it

Edit: Nope didn't work. I even saved the OD and used different play books.

Pretty disappointing this starts happening.

[gschwendt]

That's the same issue I had just before leaving for Boston. I tried everything I could think of... Definitely let us know if you figure it out.

[JeffHCross]

G, I didn't have any issues scouting this week. Console only.

[skipwondah33]

That's the same issue I had just before leaving for Boston. I tried everything I could think of... Definitely let us know if you figure it out.My only guess would be something with the dynasty, although not sure.

I had issues connecting to EA servers other night. It let me in to do recruiting, then I tried to play the game and it froze. After that I couldn't get connected back to servers.

Was able to play an offline dynasty game without a problem.

[JeffHCross]

To me it sounds like the EA servers, not a dynasty issue.

Just realized that my game was against Ole Miss as well... I'm betting there's a problem with their team somehow. I just asked JB to invite my second account to join the OD... I'll see if I can figure out some kind of pattern/problem.

When I played them last year I don't recall an issue but then again none of us had an issue when we played them.

Jeff, not sure since G had the same thing happen to him when he played them. During that time I just couldn't connect to the servers. The next day I had no problem. Odd that during recruiting none of my scouting unveiled any ratings...even though it said that I unlocked 6 of them.

That happened on both the console and the web

[JeffHCross]

skip, thanks to G's extra information, I agree. What I was more saying is that I didn't believe we had any dynasty-wide corruption that was at fault. I would believe, if that were the case, that I would have been equally unsuccessful in my scouting efforts, whereas I had no problem.

Thinking back to the only time I ran into that issue, it was in a Test OD when I added a new coach in Week 10 or so. Or something equally silly. But since we've done nothing like that, I wouldn't believe that was the cause.

G, I'd be curious who the coaches are for Ole Miss, and if, by chance, one of our OC/DCs got hired over there.

[skipwondah33]

Hmm didn't think of that of our coaches going over.

I really can't think of anything else to try.

[gschwendt]

Looks like I can't join as Ole Miss since we're still set to start as 1 star teams.

[psusnoop]

Damn, I am almost sure that it is the issue. Now how to get around that?

JB has to change it, but it won't take effect until next week which obviously won't help skip.

[psusnoop]

Nope :(

[JeffHCross]

So, none of the coaches were from our teams. One coach did change (the DC), but he came from Houston so that shouldn't be a problem. Hmm.

This reminds me that we probably need to check Auburn and make sure it's okay since Oneback left.

I wouldn't think coaches is the issue then. Something else within ole miss must be causing this. Just not sure what aside from style which is tied into coaching.

Yes we need to check Auburn to be sure.

When are we advancing!!! Lol I'm playing now.

[JeffHCross]

Nothing looks odd in Ole Miss' depth chart either.

I'll be playing in the morning.

[skipwondah33]

Well just tried again with same result.

Really wanted to play this game and needed to.

[JeffHCross]

Ohio State takes down Iowa by 14, in a game closer than it should have been. Ohio State's offense dominated Iowa's defense, but Ohio State's defense was only able to get three stops of their own (merely one more than Ohio State's offense was stopped), leading to a shootout.

QB Marcus Avery continued to build his Heisman credentials, gaining 449 total yards and six TDs.

[JeffHCross]

We're waiting on ... well ... about 3/4ths of the dynasty.

[JBHuskers]

I'm playing tonight.

[skipwondah33]

I obviously won't be playing so LSU is RTA :mad:

[JBHuskers]

Razor & Eric are on a hiatus, Skip is having problems, so that leaves Escobar and Marcotte.

[JeffHCross]

Hey G, assuming someone joins as Ole Miss for Week 11, we should probably also ensure that we have the ability to join as Existing Coaches, just so we don't destroy Hugh Freeze if we don't have to.

[marcotte14]

I'm playing tonight at 9pm est.

[JBHuskers]

Wisconsin gave me the no lube treatment :smh:

[JeffHCross]

Are we ready to advance or do we need to make some changes so Ole Miss can be fixed? Ole Miss doesn't have another user game until Week 15.

[gschwendt]

I'd say we go ahead and advance now... snoop, get to it!

[JBHuskers]

He's working. It'll be when I get home.

[skipwondah33]

Broken tackles, broken tackles

[skipwondah33]

Getting ridiculous.

QB just trucked 5 defenders on way to 50 yard TD

[JeffHCross]

skip, for the sake of us not in your living room, what are you doing the play-by-play of?

[skipwondah33]

My Tennessee game I was playing lol

They always break first 2,3,4,5,6 tackles

QB sat in the pocket for 6 seconds then decided to scramble then proceeded to run over or break 5 tackles on his way to the TD run.
