poo poo guys. The EA website hasn't been working - the final tab in any dynasty for me (whether Recruiting, Players Leaving, or now Off-season Recruiting for one of my dynasties) - and I also can't submit any changes from within the game where it requires an upload to their servers.

Is anyone having success trying anything in any of the dynasties?

Dude couldn't tell me anything really. He was going through the normal routine of talking about cache clearing / cycling router. I told him I wasn't trying to resolve the issue right at that moment, just wanted to make someone aware of a potential problem. He said he would talk to someone higher up.

I may or may not be getting an email back at some point "with steps to resolve the issue."

At least it doesn't seem like it's something intentional.. I guess the question is will they put any resources on it to fix the problem? Fingers still crossed.

Looks like the servers are fixed / getting fixed now. Whew. I'd like to think my call had a little something to do with it! It was at least two full days of having the problem, I was getting scurred.

Dio, man I dunno dude. That one got away from you, down 14-31 at the half (following a late pick & score) I felt sure I was sunk. 3rd quarter included 2 turnovers and 21 Vols points scored which would be all I'd need. Tack on a 4th quarter bit of insurance and the final of 42-31 happened. I don't feel like I deserved that one, but I'll take it.

Everyone else has a CPU game except for JB.

Dio, ZSB, and Wreckus - well, Dio and ZSB - both of you still having problems with the servers?

Just curious - did you ever forward the ports on your routers that EA always suggested for NCAA? Saw a post somewhere else that said forwarding ports helped with the issue. I always had my ports open, so maybe that's why things started working for me sooner.

I guess I could try just advancing the week so everyone has to download an updated dynasty file, and see if that helps?

Everyone okay with that? Only me and Mizzou have been able to get our games in this week - and I played mine immediately after the last advance.

FYI these are the ports EA recommends:

EA posted:

If all the steps below did not solve your issues, check to make sure that the ports specific to Xbox Live are opened up on your Internet Service Provider's end. These are the ports that need to be open in both incoming and outgoing directions:

UDP Ports: 53, 88, 3074
TCP Port: 53, 80, 3074
I don't know what kind of router you have but it's usually not difficult to figure out how to set them up. You just have to give your 360 a static IP on your network.

I want to try and play my game tonight or tomorrow morning since the other dynasties are working again for me. If it fails then I guess we'll have to try an advance I dunno or whatever just sim it I don't really care.

ZSB, go ahead and see if you can get your game in. Ole Miss/Alabama need to play too so if they can schedule it quickly enough, I don't want to just sim them with all these server problems.

edit - I had already said in the GroupMe that I'd advance on Saturday FYI, didn't see the posts til after. I will definitely plan on a morning advance. (it'll be my birthday!!!)

I was able to advance the week today after not being able to yesterday.

Unfortunately looks like Florida lost to Kentucky in OT. Tennessee barely pulled it out against Oregon.

Let's see if things work better now. I'll post back later with match-ups, not sure if we have any user games.

We advanced. Unfortunately since the website is jacked, I can't get the nice screengrab of all teams with match-ups.

WEEK 7

First I'll list the completed games (we just advanced last night, so it's nice that we're progressing again):

#7 Mizzou won against AP'd #25 UGA
#9 Florida (Dio) lost to #2 LSU (me)

#1 SCar (JB) has a game with (unfortunately) AP'd Arky
#4 Tenn (ZSB) has a CPU game against Ohio State

#11 Alabama is now also unfortunately on AP and will have his game against #13 Kentucky simmed.

And then..

#3 Auburn (Wreckus) hosts #20 Ole Miss (Eric / GroupMe)

Wreckus, I haven't heard anything from Eric in a while. The league he was running seems dead now due to the server problems, not sure if he's bailed on the game. If I don't hear from him, I'll set him to AP tonight, so please try to get the game done ASAP - I'll definitely be waiting on JB and ZSB, but once their games are done, I'd like to advance. And since you're #3 I don't want you to have to take a sim, especially since you've been getting your CPU games done. If you need more time though, reply to the thread please and I'll accommodate you. (we also have a game in the ACC that we need to play)

No problem.

Wreckus, Ole Miss is on AP. He's out for the time being as I suspected. I just let him know I'd tell him if/when the servers start seeming back to normal, but he also had the XP bug so I'm not sure how committed he was to begin with.

We're down to the goons in the league + Mizzou now, at least for the time being. Mizzou gets his games in pretty much immediately after we advance, so that's good. But yeah JB, I think you might have been referring to him with the stat padding and his crazy WR stats - but he hasn't restarted any games (I don't think he is even "cool" with doing that, he's used to not being allowed to from his other dynasties). We'll see if he can keep that up when he actually has to play someone, since I think he's only had CPU games so far.

John Brown

Of course he won't keep it up - especially against me :getin:

Vols are G2G, team is coming together now as the season goes on. My defensive numbers are slowly coming back to mediocre, and the offense has been solid if not quite as explosive as I'd like. These awesome WRs still can't consistently take the top off/the computer cheats and always plays deep guys on long pass routes.

We've advanced.

Hate that we've lost so many people (on AP) and that the website no longer works - at least haven't had too many issues in-game for a while now.

The only user game here is ZSB vs JB. Wreckus and Dio have CPU games.
