OK, but can you join an OD?

I'm not suggesting that but asking if you know of someone that either has an opening in their OD they're willing to let you join or know of someone that currently isn't a comissioner of an OD that could create one for you to join.

I'd do it myself but I don't have a 360.

only if PIG BOMB can host one.... sec and i get back to you.

If not, I can see if cdj can create one and advance it to Week 1 just to test it.

just joined some OPEN dynasty that is in the pre-season. as soon as I did anything to change the state of my team i get TRANSFER FAILED when it goes to load the changes to the server....

sure, can i just simulate the game then if i can actually get in? sec, i call pig bomb first on the phone.

Can't your friend just host, keyser?

Also, unless you have one of the commissioner packs, you wouldn't be able to host a new dynasty without deleting the first one.

PIG is not answering, let me know if Chris or anyone else can create one.

yes, my friend is the host and I can join his dynasty... .however i can't change the state of my team in any way. if i do ANYTHING that needs to be loaded to the server to be remembered, I get the ERROR and have to leave the dynasty.

If you join one, go in like you're going to play the game, then you can use the Super Sim to sim to the end of the game.


For the random one that you did join, were you able to select a team, etc. and actually join (thus taking you to the preseason activities screen)?

we are in season 5 of our dynasty, i dont want to botch the whole thing just to forward to a game to play. we would have to skip the entire post and off season followed by pre-season stuff... don't want to do that.

Keyzer was the original commissioner of this dynasty but he then passed it to his buddy. As far as I understand, Keyzer currently is not a commissioner so he should be able to create one... it's just not uploading/saving all of the files properly.

Right, i CAN create one but as soon as I get to the "Pick a school screen" I am dead in the water because after you pick a school it loads that information up to the server and BOOM FAILED message follows and I have to exit

K... just making sure I have all of the details correct. Let me know if you have anything happen regarding joining an OD and playing a game. Chris probably won't be able to create one until late tonight at earliest and no guarantees at that time. If possible, I'd say just join a random OD that's in the middle of the season and see if it will work or not.

i am currently in pre-season screen of that random dynasty i joined... anything you want me to try?

---

Ok, I missed that.

I think I'd retire that dynasty and see if I was able to go forward with a new dynasty after the original one was completely gone.

Ok.... will try that now.

FYI: Just joined one and tried something like RED SHIRTING a single player.... same thing I get TRANSFER FAILED and have to exit online dynasty.

No... I'm wanting you to join an OD that is in the season so you can attempt to upload a game's results. We obviously know that anything else definitely doesn't work but since the specific question was regarding a game, I want to be certain (in case games are considered completely different from other data).

k, just joined a dynasty in week 6 and will tell you in 1 minute what happens....

its been 3 minutes :D......

Make that 4. :D

simulated the game.... (won by the way! LOL) and it appears to have saved the score and stuff to the server. went ahead after that and tried to add a player to my recruiting list and got the ERROR. so does that answer your question?

also, it DOES allow me to "SET READY TO ADVANCE" which seems to be something that would have to be uploaded to the server as well... so hell if I know what is going on...

Yes. I believe it does.

I'll pass on all of the latest details and see what they say. No clue how quickly they'll get back to me but it obviously sounds like a somewhat specific issue.

If you do that, exit the OD and then come back in I'm willing to bet that it didn't actually save that "ready to advance" state. Something to try if you want but I don't think it adds much more info.

attempted a FORMATION SUB and I get FAILED as well

actually when I go back in it says: Waiting for commissioner with a green dot. so at least from my xbox it appears to remember that I hit it.... strange I can make no other changes though to my team at all.

just more info... tried to change my recruiting plan and even that BOMBS me out. let me know if you want me to do anything else. thanks for the help.

Have you ever deleted every single NCAA 12 file that is on your hard drive before?

---

FWIW you seem to have turned into the very poster that you detested a couple of months back. The morsdraconis of July would have told the morsdraconis of September and October to take a hike and go back to the other forum and bitch about the game because its obvious that you don't like it and this is a forum for people who want to talk and play NCAA game. Just thought you might want to know this...

LOL, do you disagree? Dude use to tell everyone to get their butts back to utopia if they were going to bitch about the game... this is a forum for those who enjoy the game. Now he is here advocating that game is unplayable and people should just give up and quit.... just sayin....

Yeah... I've given him just about every troubleshooting step I could possibly think of. As well, he's able to load his buddy's gamertag and save results just fine. It's something to do with his specific user profile on NCAA's OD servers.



Keyser, I've emailed the dev the latest information. I'll let you know what I hear back. All that said though, now that we've gone through all of the steps we have, I feel fairly confident that your Transfer Failed error is not the same type of error that the developers were/are working 24 hours a day on. I'm assuming that you have a corrupt profile or something like that that's specific to you (who knows, maybe a small number of users) and unless we were to contact them directly about your profile, it might not have ever been fixed (this is 100% assumption on my part). That said, I was expecting something like this might be the case and that the "tier 3" support might have been able to do the same research that you & I have done and been able to create a support ticket that would actually fix it (without having to get the devs involved).

There's a difference between mors' bitching about the game, and the bitching about the game others from Utopia and OS were doing.

do you want me to post my support ticket here from when I called? supposedly there is someone working on it at the tier 3 level now.... you can pass that ticket information on then if you want. it was a pretty lengthy phone call that i had to wait on hold for nearly 20 minutes to begin with before starting.

I don't think that will necessarily help this instance... you're welcome to post it and if they ask for it, I'll pass it on, but I don't know that it get us much further in the process.
