Obviously you're still welcome to try but I suggest going through the converted playbook with a fine tooth comb. Very first thing to look at is if your play total wasn't full before, it might be now.
One almost definite thing it will do is add the audibles from the original base playbook, which if you were near capacity before, will dump some of your added plays and/or formations.
Wow, it looks like our OD is in fact broken post patch. I know get Transfer FAILED for everything making it impossible to move on.... Thanks EA, THANKS! LOL
i think they are working on it... last night late like at 2am eastern servers went down for a while... as they have a few times since all the problems post patch came to lightOriginally Posted by keyser soze
doubtful.
thats silly...its a server side error that they should be able to fix... its also a game buster...the kind of problem they do actually work on, as compared to some of the glitches and other stuff we hate, but doesn't break the game- thus it doesn't get fixeddoubtful.
Another issue I noticed last night is that my custom playbook would not load up into practice mode in my OD. It would show the pop up screen that it is loading but once on the practice field it would be the default playbook for my team. In my case it was Penn St. I checked coach philosophy to verify that I had it set to my cpb.
Man this stinks big time. I was planning on playing a lot this weekend and we can NOT get through players leaving early segment.... this is the only thing that I hoped EA would NOT do in the patch, break our OD.... oh well, I guess even asking for THAT is asking for too much. Shameful man, shameful!
"Via a backdoor password" is an unusual way of putting it (you make it sound like a virus), but you have the right idea. A patch to a video game works just like a patch to any piece of software -- Microsoft Windows security patches, for example. It's an installer that runs and changes code.
Since you're talking about a downloaded patch to retail game disc, it is slightly different, but the basic idea is the same. Normally, on a PC, patched code modifies the code directly, since everything's installed on your hard drive. Microsoft patches change the files directly. But for the PS3, I believe it just changes which version of code is called. Basically, let's call a piece of code CustomPlaybooks(). When there's no patch, CustomPlaybooks() gets run off the disc, and the retail code is run. When a patch is available, the PS3 knows to first look at the downloaded patch code and check there first for CustomPlyabooks(). There's probably a lot more to it, but I think that's the general idea.
The pink gear was turned on after a patch. It's very likely that the code was not there on the retail disc, and was added via the patch rather than just unlocked.
They *can* add it, but that's normally not done via patch. The difference with the pink gear was that it was something that affected every team. Scale is important to consider when thinking about patch features.Is this something they can add or would it already need to be in there and then they unlock it? Either way, hopefully they will have them for NCAA 13. I like them

Are custom playbooks not a "game buster"? Because those have been broken since release and they still haven't fixed those.
Two different types of problems with two different fixes. It's easy to presume that the OD Transfer Failed error has more to do with the server than the client, so that could be fixed without a patch.Are custom playbooks not a "game buster"? Because those have been broken since release and they still haven't fixed those.
Though I understand and share your frustration.

Why should I expect it should get fixed when EA has shown that they are quite inept at truly and completely fixing anything with these games? I can't have any faith in them fixing this, even if doesn't need a patch, if have no evidence that they will be able to or want to fix this. As Jerry Kill says "I hear what your saying, but I only trust what you do"
man this stinks.... i have tried to advance it all day long with no luck. have they even officially said anything about this or are they silent again?
nope... use a regular playbook... custom books is an extra non-gamebusting feature... busting means it breaks the game so that you can't play it... like the transfer failed... it ends your dynastyAre custom playbooks not a "game buster"? Because those have been broken since release and they still haven't fixed those.
You can't say that the most hyped and looked forward to addition to the game being broken TWO MONTHS after release isn't wildly dissapointing or confidence inducing though, can you?
no i can't argue with that... i hate it...it's my most wanted feature for years... i think the EA NCAA team are not very good compared to some of their other development teams...like FIFA, NHL, and even Madden....sucks for college football fans like us... that being said my overall experience this year is enjoyable...but if they cant fix the transfer errors i'll be hanging up the football cleats here shortly and putting on my futbol boots
not an NBA fan?
Is the current dynasty advance issue happening with everyone or just some unlucky few that already had an issue with it? I haven't had a chance to go into OD yet since downloading the patch.
the issue is widespread
pre-patch never had this issue. post-patch we are 100% unable to advance the season! LOL... pathetic!
That's weird I have advanced twice post pach
