My PS3 has YLOD'd. I'm considering my options. I think I'm going to try to do the reflow repair. My PS3 is a 4 year old fatty. I'll keep you guys posted, but if it drags on - I may have to retire or be simmed for a bit.

My PS3 has YLOD'd. I'm considering my options. I think I'm going to try to do the reflow repair. My PS3 is a 4 year old fatty. I'll keep you guys posted, but if it drags on - I may have to retire or be simmed for a bit.
Did the reflow and, I'm happy to report that my PS3 is fully functional just 18 hours after the YLOD!!! Some guys at PlayStationLifeStyle.com (where I got the tutorial to do the reflow) have said the fix has lasted them anywhere from minutes to "it still works". Hopefully, mine will be among the latter. I'll let you guys know if there's any change. :)
:crickets:
Sorry guys, totally my fault ... had to go out of town for a week ... Escobar, let's try and get this game played so we can advance ... shoot me some times that work for you and I'll try to make it happen quickly.Quote:

ROTFL! I'm not avoiding anything. Was away for a week and then I got sick, standing out in the rain statting a soccer game can do that to you (hell, just watching soccer can make you sick) ... I'm ready to roll now. :PQuote:

I'll get on in about 30 minutes. I'll PM you my number.
We're FINALLY advanced and ready to start the new week!!! Get together if you have any human vs. human games or recruit and play the CPU, let's crank this bad boy back up.
Got my recruiting done. I will play my game today or tonight. That will just leave Escobar.
I have an OD game scheduled for right now. Will get my game in after that.
I finished my game. We are ready to advance.
Also, you may need to update your sliders since Patch 3. I don't know if you use OneBack's, but he just updated his for the Powerhouse OD.
:crickets::):Rutgers::EA_SPORTS::reeses:
We'll advance tonight ... but before we do ... I need to know what everyone wants to do ... do you want to keep the current sliders through the end of the season or change them now to Oneback's set.
I'm good with whatever. I'll adjust, sliderwise, either way.
Hey Escobar ... can you tell me where I can find his latest slider set? The only one I can find was last updated in late July.Quote:

Okay ... had some time to play around with this ... depending on who has played by the time I get home ... I'll switch the sliders to Oneback's new set this week or next week ... I like the feel of OB set better than our current set, it seems to play well ...Quote:

LOL! At least you escaped, SF. West Virginia made me look terrible last week ... I felt pretty good after trading blows with Escobar and Syracuse and losing the week before ... but after the WV game I felt like I didn't even know how to play after that rout. :)Quote:

Pitt also missed a chip shot FG in the 3rd (24 yds?) from the right hash (at the open end of the stadium, thank you Heinz Field). They tried but couldn't ice my kicker on the GWFG attempt.
Dion Lewis had 200 something on me, but that wasn't why I lost to Pitt. Their QB got a case of Robo QB, and I couldn't stop them in the 4th quarter.
Escobar, you gonna get that WV game in so me can advance? Just checkin in with ya, bud.Quote:

Yep ... will advance within the next 15 minutes ... gotta plug up the PS3
Sweet! Are you going with a different slider set now?Quote:

Then somebody else who doesn't even play video games and didn't even see what happened says, "Was the wind blowing?" Sure enough the wind was 14 mph the whole game, but I forgot about it cus it wasn't really affecting the passing game. One slip up causes me to lose by 1 to West Virginia. :mad:
Ouch!Quote:

LOL! I don't think I can live with all the nailbiting! Play Escobar tight ... then barely nip Cincy ... then I got you to worry about? And then I get to figure out how to stop Dion?! LOL! Yikes!Quote:

The changes are reflected on the front page of this thread.
Yep! I've got you and Escobar back-to-back (following Pitt) and then Cincy, Louisville (a breather perhaps?) and WVU. Sheesh. Maybe I should use the bye to enjoy my unbeaten record while I have it, lol.Quote:

Maybe those first few games with the Orange have worn my team out.
After reiterating what we learned from V-Tech at halftime. "We play offense, defense, and special teams" Syracuse comes back to win 34-27 after two long defensive touchdowns. One on an interception on our 15, then an intercepted pitch 10 yards from Cincinnati scoring.
Now it says OD servers are unavailable...I'm gonna keep hitting retry for the rest of the night, because I have the feeling that if I play this game again I am going to lose.
Looks like we're ready to advance.
Sooie, I can play today if we start before say 5 or so (Central). Saturday and Sunday don't look good right now. Monday, I can play whenever. What works for you?
Okay ... I'll go home and advance us today (Friday) at about 3:30 to 4 p.m. (Central) ... if you can start play around there (3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.) today, we'll get it in then. Saturday is terrible for me too. So is Sunday. It'd have to be late Monday if we did do it then.Quote:

Good game.
LOL! No worries. No way would I play that one over, you earned it. You shut me down cold. I couldn't do anything consistently ... good game plan. Really good. Good luck the rest of the way!Quote:
