No problem. To clarify, we are in year two in the PS3 OD and nearing the end of year one in the 360 OD.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, well that does matter. We had ZERO problems until the POST season after we moved conferences around after Patch #2. You might be too early to expose the problems yet.
Does anyone else here who has had their dynasties get pwned get bitter at EA on Saturdays when you watch real college football and want to play a game or recruit a stud class?
Side question: has anyone here recruited on both AA and heisman recruiting? Can you tell me the difference? If I start over I think I am going to ramp UP to heisman to increase the difficulty. I am just wondering though if it is too hard for a mid tier school because the CPU gets too big of a bonus or something.
when you f-it up big time this is what should happen....
when major parts of your game [including custom playbooks and online dynasty] are busted and leaving gamers unable to play the big dogs should come out, not the messenger boy... IMO anyway(CNN) -- Netflix Co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings made a public apology in his blog Sunday after a customer outburst against a hike in prices.
"I messed up," Hastings said. "I owe everyone an explanation."
From a personal standpoint and being that I am one of the customers taking it in the pooper right now I 100% agree.
However, if I was the CEO of the company I am 98% sure I would NOT do as you say. There are several reasons why I think doing that would be a BAD idea.
1 - Some dynasties are working fine right now so there is mass confusion and not a unanimous opinion of something being broken
2 - Once EA would admit a major problem they would now OWN it and have to make it right or fix it. They either don't know how to do that or simply don't want to right now
3 - There can't be much confidence at EA right now that the next "fix" wont simply break 3 other things
4 - The LESS attention they bring to this issue publicly, the more likely this will get swept under the rug and NCAA 2013 will be a HUGE HIT
So if I ran the place, unfortunately I would handle it just like they have been from a business standpoint. Do I wish they would handle it differently? YES! But that is because I am on THIS SIDE of the fence and again, one of the guys taking it in the pooper!

Year Two (week 8)
Oh, thanks but no thanks. Game is pretty good this year on heisman but still needs a few house rules on that level to keep the game fun against the CPU. Also, my internet connection is so piss-poor that I could never play another human online. I do think I am going to put a call into the cable company but I haven't yet as I don't play enough online to inspire me to actually make that call.
Well if you change your mind drop me a line. 7 dedicated users and we advance every three days (nice for the working man)
Well do you guys play eachother? If you do trust me I am out because between my crappy internet and EA's servers that boot me every 5 seconds there is no way I can complete a game against another online user....
dewiel posted on the ea forums that patch #3, that'll fix the no huddle issue, will be released this friday, 10/7.
From the NCAA Football development team:
UPDATE - Title Update #3 addressing the "No Huddle" issue has made it through first party certification and will be available Friday (10/7). This update was rushed out to get [the no-huddle issue corrected] as quickly as possible, so the "No Huddle" is the only thing addressed.
Any bets on Patch #3 messing something else up?
agreed, since they point out that it was "rushed" to get it out...that opens the door to, "we didn't have time to fully test it...."
keep you fingers crossed LOL
Just a guess but I'd imagine given how fast it came out that it was something easy that got entangled with Patch #2. Probably not going to see any "new" issues arise from this. I'm with Gige though, fingers crossed.
Spent 45 minutes on the phone with EA technical assistance last night after I attempted to create a NEW OD and I got TRANSFER FAILED..... The kid on the other line was SUPER NICE, so I will give him that. However, their technical assistance has ZERO clue what this issue even is! He spent about 20 minutes attempting to GOOGLE an answer even though I told him I have been trying to solve this for the past month myself on the forums. He was even reading some of the posts/threads that I am in out loud to me as possible fixes! ROFLMAO.... sooooo, YOU GUYS know WAY MORE then EA does about this issue. The issue WAS NOT EVEN IN HIS DATA BASE!!!!! TRANSFER FAILED is foreign to their data base as a known problem!?!?!?!??!
After 45 minutes and no solution found, they have "elevated" my issue to a "tier 3" technician. I will keep you all posted but I would NOT hold your breath being that they did not even have my issue on their known problems server.... NOT GOOD....
That's funny right there. I used to do computer/phone support over the phone so I can see the wheels a turning....I'm surprised they didn't ask you questions like,
"sir are you attempting to play the game with a wirless or wired controller?......
Wireless.....
....ok thank you for that, is your wireless controller powered up and fully charged?.....
....ummmm YES....
....ok thank you for that.....is the game disk in the machine now?.....
....YES....
....ok thank you for that, now, when you get this transfer failed error is it when the controller is turned on or off?
....ON...
...ok thank you for that, and when you get this transfer failed error, is the game disk in the machine and the machine is power up?
...YES....
...ok thank you for that....and when you're playing the game with your wireless controller power up and fully charged, you machine is ON, game disk in the machine....are you standing within the wireless remote min/max limits?
....ummmm YES I'm 5' from my machine....
....ok thank you for that....would you mind me putting you on hold for a few mins while I research YOUR issue some more?.....
...SURE....
...Ok thank you for that, please hold......followed by broken skipping music that makes you want to throw the phone out the window.....(tech on the otherside is getting some coffee or soft drink at the vending machine....secretly laughing his butt off that you are silly enough to think he can do something....but also hoping you hang up since the hold music is so bad....)
....sir??? sir are you there? (please don't be there....)
...YES....
....(DAMN)....ok thank you for holding sir...at this time it sounds like your controller, disk, and machine are working properly. Unfortunately this error you're receiving is new to me, perhaps it's something with your OD only. Since we haven't heard of anything like is before, I'm going to send this onto a senior tech (who is busy working on NCAA 13) and they will research your issue (after coffee and cokes) and if they are able to reproduce your isolated error they will call you back to see if: a) you're still playing the game, b) are still playing with a powered up, charged wireless controller, and c) have by chance fixed YOUR error on your own.....thanks for calling EA, is there anything else I can help you with (please say no, I need a to pee and then need another coke....MAN why doesn't this call waiting light stop blinking....)
...ummmm ok, thanks I guess....
....Ok GREAT! thanks again for calling EA and we appreciate your support. have a great evening, enjoy your EA sports title.
I'm not one to usually quote other people but if there every was one to copy someone else's post..... this deserves this:
This could possibly be a picture of a 3rd level sr tech......

if the patch only addresses the no-huddle
they have no idea that the option is also screwed up
i want a refund this unacceptable
It was stated from the beginning that this is all that patch #3 is going to cover.
gigemaggs... you pretty much NAILED our conversation on the head. He was a super nice kid, I will give him that but it was pretty sad how shallow the "EA Tech Database" runs because I was shocked when the only place he could find "TRANSFER FAILED" was on google and not inside anything EA owned...
When he started down the patch of asking me about my XBOX and if that was "functioning properly" and things to check I just quickly cut him off and thankfully I was able to get him to bye-pass most of the TOTAL waste of time stuff. It was funny though how he put me on hold twice and was half surprised to find me still on when he got back!
Oh well, at least I know they truly aren't doing anything about it other then probably awaiting for the answer to find its way on google.com
does anyone else have a issue with option plays in user games
