Leave it to yours truly to figure it out. Try deleting the game and then installing it again. Also, restart your modem and router. If that doesn't work then we're done. Everything is working fine for me though.

We're now at Players Leaving! Considering the recent server issues you have until Tuesday night before we advance (assuming my suggestion works for all). After that we will advance in 24-hr intervals up until Redshirt and Recruiting.

Web recruiting just started working for me again tonight. Hadn't had any luck with it in a week.

edit - I had two sophomores (R) that were planning on leaving for the draft. That would have sucked if I couldn't convince them to stay!

I am losing my 98 HB, 98 QB, 98 K, 97 HB, 96 RG, 96 TE, 95 LE, 95 CB, 94 MLB, 93 WR, 92 DT, and 91 DT. (and an 88 LOLB and 80 WR) Yikes. All but 4 of those to the draft, 4 projected in round 1. loving Dick Butt is projected round 2. No justice.

I've never used the web interface for fear of it loving up like it used in prior times; it would apply points you didn't approve or execute visits & scholarships without asking you, or it'd delete people from your board that you'd looked at, then it wouldn't register in the actual online dynasty. This franchise has had so many half assed components integrated into it, so many of them never worked as intended.

You know to always turn off all the CPU recruiting assistance first right?

Im noting that once upon a time it ignored that stuff and acted with a mind of its own which is why I haven't ever used it for that purpose since they introduced it. Not that it did that now, only that I haven't tried doing so in my attempts to avoid it loving with me.

I would definitely do it. Ideally just with those of us who plan on playing until the game absolutely won't work anymore and are fairly active.

I don't really want to lose out on my monster recruiting classes from the past 2-3 seasons though. I am eager to see how they develop. I think I've had close to 10 5* recruits for the last 3 seasons each, and at least 85% of them (pulling that out of my rear end) scouted well enough to be huge threats eventually. I would just really like to find out how crazy my team needs to be for me to finally pressure JB in a game.

However, I'm guessing this is PROBABLY related to the server issues:

http://www.operationsports.com/forums/ncaa-football/569095-unable-finish-accepting-online-dynasty-invite.html

I dunno if they tried setting a password and just letting the guys try to join on their own though.

Recruiting from the web is still hosed for me no matter what device I use or what internet source, so I really doubt port forwarding will make my console work unless recruiting from the web is just permanently hosed. I won't get the chance to set up port forwarding tonight but I'll try again with my console when I get a chance (probably tomorrow)

I wouldn't bother. I've had more issues too, so I don't think that's a solution. It seems like sometimes poo poo is just working. Maybe they are restarting the servers, it works for a while, then gets overloaded and crashes again until they notice.

Things do seem better lately though, I'd just try in-game and see what happens.

2013 named rosters unless someone has a more current version. And I will be taking Baylor if this works out.

E: Cletus, I didn't ignore your previous post. I too don't want to lose the powerhouse I've built, but a league without ZSB is no league at all. I'd rather start over if it fixes all the issues. Also, your buddies from the SEC could join.

Yeah, agreed, I would definitely rather play than not play.

You can start the new one without deleting this one, right? So if things started working fine again, we could keep playing this one too if we wanted?

Also, there are rosters up for this upcoming season already on OpSports. I think it's under the same tag as last year's - "Call Me LSU" I think. I know it's not complete, but looks like they've got the major conferences. No idea if it's good, though.

I don't think care about which rosters we use as long as they're not as bad as what we used in the SEC.

Can the game just randomize the rosters with all fake names and ratings? Or would it just give fake names to all the players while keeping whatever the game's "base ratings" were for each player at launch?
