I can run still run the options, but on read options the QB use to go really slow if you keep the ball with him, I mean like Olineman type slow, and he wouldnt speed up until around 10 yards later if you made it that far.

I am 99% certain this will work, but just to be safe have him advance it before you get in. Downside is all your records will be reset, and your promises will be locked again, upside is after the season if you meet all the previous promises they will unlock all the others one again.


This has worked for me also but isn't full proof, start another OD(if you can) and simply advance it to like week 2 ,, that got me out of the stuck phase a couple of times. Hope any of this helps.

I could have told you the commish transfer wasn't going to work though.

---

Yeah, this is my plan. Will I still be able to KEEP my guys from going pro early or will I lose that ability?
Will I lose any GRADES for my COACH if I do this or does he keep his grade?
I don't care about record or promises, I almost NEVER make a promise anyways since up until now I haven't been able to keep anything other then non red-shirt and I like to red shirt everyone :)

As I understand it, whenever you reload the OD, don't create a coach, you just select "use existing" and take the job of the coach where you were before. That will keep you as the same coach as you were.

I have never checked but are you telling me my coaching grade never moves up regardless of how long or how much I win there? Same goes for other program ratings? I thought they changed?

No. it certainly does fluctuate your coaching grade, etc. and as far as I understand, it will retain that whenever you rejoin as that coach. When you rejoin, it won't be the original coach (ex. Brady Hoke), it will be the coach you presumably created (Coach Soze) and when you select "use existing", you'll be selecting Coach Soze.

Otherwise, when you rejoin the OD, if you select to create a coach, it will overwrite Coach Soze.

If he advances before you come in you will lose that ability, try it both ways get him to invite you do your leaving early stage and then see if it will advance, if not then you might have to go the way of option number two.

K, so here is my plan written out in case I have anything wrong.
1) Turn over commish to other guy (done)
2) quit the OD entirely and have him re-invite me and try players leaving early again
3) if 2 fails then quit OD, have buddy advance the week and then re-invite
4) if 3 fails then quit OD, scrub everything off xbox 360 that has to do with ncaa 12 and have buddy re-invite
5) if 4 fails then quit OD entirely and come back and tell you all how much i like NCAA and how many X-mas cards I am sending them this year

Does anyone see a step that I should insert in there?

Quick question, how many others in the OD are not able to convince players?

If it's several, then you might consider adding this step:

2b) if 2 fails, have someone save the OD weekly save file, everyone retire from the OD, then use the Load technique to recreate the OD which will put you back at the start of Players Leaving (everyone would have to do their convincing all over again).

Annoyances sometimes do occur from that method such as when you look at your list of ODs and it shows how many are remaining, that number would not be accurate for the recreated OD. I would probably consider adding that in after step 2 or step 4. My best bet though is that #3 will most certainly cure your particular Transfer Failed issue in this instance... you just have to lose out on convincing your players to return.

Virtually NOTHING works!!! It's amazing to me actually, even for EA's track record.

---

Yes they can. And to.take an honest look, a real honest look, you'd have to say there's no way....let me repeat that.... NO WAY that they will hype themselves to the community with any new features unless ALL of these issues from 12 are fixed.

We're talking about lying to us (not intentional im sure) by saying literal game killers have been fixed server side twice, and then again after a patch 2 months after release. Out of the box GAME KILLERS. Not like opinions, like nobody can record a FINISHED GAME! This is not a broken feature, it's a BROKEN GAME!

If you are correct and they "can't clean up old stuff without creating new issues", then get rid of whatever feature is screwing the system, then they need to figure out why and redo it from scratch.

For once I agree with Rhombic and IOU when they say ea needs to get with the program. I can't fathom how you miss this 4 times, when you keep telling your fan base its fixed. Especially with certification. Here's a brilliant idea.... USE YOUR GAME CHANGERS!!!! As Oneback put it, there's no reason they don't have any clue what's up. Since your too retarded or lazy to play out your own online league and ACTUALLY find the issue, get as many game changers as you can and have them form some ODs and test your patch before it goes final. Like I said I am a borderline ea fanboy, but ea is throwing my support in the toilet. I think its completely fair to say that the competency of this ncaa staff to produce a playable game is in serious doubt right now, as it should be.

Better plan

Step 1. Just retire from dynasty.....should be a retire option. Then have him reupload from the file management screen. Transferring duties will not matter at all.

Get reinvited and then attempt to advance, after advance them transfer duties back to you.

It's shameful and embarrassing that EA is claiming Title Update 2 "fixed" custom playbooks.

Sure, the zero play bug is gone, but that has come at the expense of vaporizing Wildcat and Wildcat Spread; locking four to six formations in each playbook; and still having 4 Verticals plays appear in your book even though they were never selected.

In the promotional hype for NCAA 12, we were told we'd be able to build our own playbook by taking any formation in the game -- except Goal Line, Hail Mary and Special Teams -- and choosing up to 377 plays.

That's not true anymore, is it?

To me, that's actually the last resort because as I mentioned a couple of posts back, that can cause annoyances and possible problems. That and everyone would have to redo their Players Leaving stage.

One guy who's spent too much time in Dr. Who's time-traveling telephone booth...says the game's been out a few weeks, when it's been out TWO MONTHS.

One guy who says the patch fixed everything. Other guy says the patch fixed nothing.

One guy taking a big sphincter-stretching shit on the community day guys, then spends 10,000 words in follow up posts arguing and debating about what he said and what he meant in his original post.

One guy using the patch issue as a reason to complain about a celebration aspect touted in NCAA 11, not NCAA 12.

Yup, another fine NCAA thread! LOL

LMAO! You made my day with this observation!!

I think he mentioned that he couldn't even get his players leaving to save because he is getting the transfer failed, so he is having to redo it everytime. That is why I think he should go ahead and jump to that step. Will it be an annoyance....yes. Will it solve his problem....I think so.

---

Yeah, but one person having that problem is different than everyone having problems/annoyances.

So you are suggesting retiring WITHOUT making him the COMMISH first? Does that have some different effect? There are only 2 of us in the OD.

All options:

1. Transfer commissioner duties to him, retire, rejoin, and see if it will save your Players Leaving. Be sure you select use existing coach and select your old coach profile when you rejoin.
2. Advance to the next week, go through the week as normal, see if it gives you a Transfer Failed error.
3. Have the other member make sure to create a save file for the week, then both of you retire. He would then goto File Management and select Load on the save file for your OD. He would then re-invite you back to the OD, make sure you select use existing coach and select your old coach profile.
4. If all that fails, quit OD entirely and come back and tell us all how much i like NCAA and how many X-mas cards you are sending them this year

Each option is separate, but I would recommend trying them in the order I listed them.

If he retires it automatically gives everyone a save file no need for soneone to try and create one

Go with what g has said though its not u its the file and its going to need to be reloaded to their servers transferring commish did not work for me.

Its crazy that we need to jump through all these hoops just to get dynasty to play right, lol. NCAA 12 is a big fail. Bring on NBA 2K12, the sports game that NCAA and Madden should be.

That's basically what I'm waiting for (along with RAGE, Battlefield 3, and Skyrim, of course). Yet another year where I won't get much play at all out of NCAA and absolutely none out of Madden.

I agree its pretty riduculous I haven't played for almost a week now mostly because it has lost its luster dealing with all these issues.

:D

I'm 27, so no worries there. :)

Though, I'll be getting all of those for the PC and not the 360. Pretty much the only thing that I played on the 360 has been NCAA and now that I really don't care about it, I don't plan on getting anything for the 360 for a long time.

I learned a long time ago that there's way too many QUALITY games year in and year out to continually put up with the headache of the bugs and glitches that come with NCAA and Madden. NCAA lasted me just over a month. Madden is going to last me about the same, and then I'll move onto other games until the '13 versions come out. This coming from someone who used to only buy one game a year because I would play it all year. Now I can't even play it a month without wanting to snap the disc in half.

I didn't start getting into shooters and other games until this generation, and that was a direct result of '08 being so horrible and every NCAA/Madden game since then being equally underwhelming.

I agree with this. I used to play football games year round and nothing else. I did get into baseball gaming with MVP 05 but football rules for 9 months. This generation of football has been a disapointment to me but that's also opened my eyes to other great games like Uncharted, inFamous, etc. I no longer rely on the annual sports games to fill my gaming fun even though I still look forward to the next year's football and baseball offerings. I'm still having fun with Madden 12 although I haven't played it as much as I would like. Family life also slows down my gaming habits.

While i can still play, i cant make form subs from the user menu and thus im limited to what i can do in game. Its frustrating and nothing so far from EA, not a sorry we messed up, not even a "it wasnt like that when it left here" lie just nothing. Thats what pisses me off the most as THIS years game is easily more playable than Madden and they pretty much just screwed that up.

i agree... the lack of public acknowledgement is really getting under my skin...it's too bad there aren't enough hardcore guys to boycott buying the game on release next year to make a difference

can you imagine signing up for cable TV and watching it for a weeks and then it stops working...and the cable compnay has no comment, just nothin'
hmm hmm hmm just sitting here.....hmmmm nothin no comment

I have already switched commissioners, this did not help.

---

Ah, I totally misunderstood your problem. This was seen frequently in the Powerhouse OD last year. I'm not sure it has anything at all to do with who is the commissioner or the patch. The best I could figure, it had something to do with the combination of players that were wanting to leave your school. One of our members was eventually able to figure out that he could individually talk to a player (regardless of if he decided to stay or go), and then the file would successfully transfer. He did it one at a time, and was able to get all but one or two to successfully load back to the server.

Personally, I had one season where I had a player that wanted to transfer, he was my only Players Leaving, and I couldn't get the result to upload no matter how many times I tried it. Honestly, I eventually gave up.

I can actually imagine that happening a little more if I only paid the cable company once, ever, and not monthly ;)

LOL at me...

I'm surfing between sites looking at all this stuff....help me..get me a life ...LOL fascinating underground culture type stuff

hurry up and fix the run blocking and playbooks EA so those of us who admitted to buying the game get something out of it

LOL, its going to "take some time".... yeeeeeup, we should have another patch out at the END of football season and then when all of US have moved on so basically the patch will never be tested, they can safely CLAIM that it fixed everything up and they were diligent on their end.... Yeah, I know I am grumbling but this sux man. Unlike most of you this is the ONLY game I get and I play it with my buddy from across the country DURING football season.

You know what, I did go into the players list and back out WITHOUT keeping anyone and it worked fine but I never tested it player by player. I will skip player #1 today and see if it saves.

Question, don't you have to do all your saving at once? Meaning, if I go into that screen and only save one guy and back out will it let me go back into the players leaving list again and try to save someone else? I am definitely going to try this today at lunch and report back. I can't remember who the TOP guy is on my list but at least I know its not BOTH running backs! LOL That would be awesome if it was only 1 guy who was messing things up.

Just for conversation my early leavers look something like this: (I know this by the number of times I have attempted to get past this point)
HB So(RS) Morris (won heisman last year)
HB Jr(RS) Hayes
DE So(RS) Young
SS So(RS) Parker
CB So(RS) Harris *transfer
LB So(RS) Smith *transfer
forgetting 2 other guys who want to go to the pros early on this list. LUCKILY neither is my STUD SO(RS) QB Jason White. He is the engine that makes my awesome offense go! He sports the #1 jersey! :)

Another thing, I was SHOCKED to see that my QB in fact didn't try to leave as well as my JR(RS) DE Beyer who was part of the original roster set who owns all the sack records at Michigan now. The guy is FASTER then almost every HB in the recruiting classes!!! He has like 93 SPEED with 99 ACC and high AGILITY!!! Anyone else here use Michigan and find this guy to be a total FREAK? His name is Beyer and his number is #92 on the original roster set. Dude turns into the best DE in the history of college football. I was SURE he would leave early but he wants to stay and set the records out where no player can ever come close to touching them!

Geez....what's his TAK?

General question: Where does one go on this site to talk about their team, recruits, accomplishments, etc...? While my class totally pails in comparison to my buddy in my OD, I finally landed the HB of my dreams who I think will go on to own every record at my school if he stays healthy. What makes him more remarkable about landing him, he did NOT have me in his top 10 to start the year and he is NOT in a pipeline state. Luckily for me, no one felt interested to recruit the #4 HB in the country early who as the measurables to be unbelievable! If I can not get my HBs to stay and not go pro he will play next year. If they can stay he will likely redshirt pending on how good is ratings are.

Second question: In past years you could save your dynasty to your hard drive and play it separately from the OD. Is that still possible? I might want to play a half with this kid and see if he is good enough to NOT red-shirt but I wont know that without testing him out.

Thanks!
