I dont even remember which one I have. I had one die on me and I bought one off a dude in my building for $50. It has a removable harddrive so I assume its the newer one. Maybe?

7/17/2012 12:01:52 AM

either way, thats probably the reason for any errors in this game

i'm sure it was released to the public 100% bug-free

7/17/2012 12:04:31 AM

speaking of which, try again?

7/17/2012 12:06:17 AM

if you're on in 20-30, i'm about to eat something

i just figure an old xbox would be the cause of players skipping across the screen instead of running, must be a hardware issue

7/17/2012 12:08:12 AM

Start yours up and see if it works. If it does we will pause it while you munch

7/17/2012 12:09:10 AM

ok

7/17/2012 12:09:24 AM

Wi-CHA! Wi-CHA! Wi-CHA!

7/17/2012 12:10:30 AM

WARNING! This game session is no longer available

maybe The E Man can troubleshoot it

or just tell us to buy new consoles

7/17/2012 12:11:32 AM

TWW lobby. Pw is ass

7/17/2012 12:12:27 AM

nah i'm gonna eat something

7/17/2012 12:13:27 AM

Ok. Not ass. "rty"

7/17/2012 12:13:50 AM

i'll be in there in 30 minutes

7/17/2012 12:14:20 AM

alrighty

7/17/2012 12:14:27 AM

Probably getting their game but in no hurry before each gets patches out.

7/17/2012 7:25:20 PM

game froze again, so it wasnt the teambuilder. i have only been able to complete about 2 games since i've got the game because of freezing.

anyone else having the same problem? it always freezes during a replay or report. i really like this game, but this is frustrating. it could be my system but i doubt it, this is the only game i have this problem with.

7/19/2012 1:11:13 PM

I had some freezing issues with 2012, but it hasn't happened once for me with this game. Sorry

7/19/2012 2:26:11 PM

the Operation Sports community rosters are out fyi

7/19/2012 3:25:23 PM

I had a problem with the game freezing when trying to actually load a game. I was in Dynasty mode. Best solution I found was just disconnecting from XBox Live while playing.

7/19/2012 3:30:14 PM

I had a few dynasty games freeze on the loading screen as well

I think I was able to fix it by going into recruiting, backing out of recruiting, and then playing the game

7/19/2012 3:45:34 PM

^ yeah at at operation sports, that was found to be the fix for that. a lot of other people were having that problem too. i think you had to have it autosave before you played the game.

you think a tester would easily find that bug

7/19/2012 3:57:35 PM

doing offseason recruiting with an Alabama dynasty...figured it'd be the easiest way to win a national title with the #1 ranked recruiting class in the same season

but this offseason recruiting might be pointless...I've already given out all my scholarships...i'm just trying to negatively recruit against other schools and hopefully get some extra 4 star walkons

7/19/2012 5:19:05 PM

^ how is that even fun? not being an ernie, I am seriously asking... you could put down the controller, go take a shit, come back and you probably scored a TD or two.

7/19/2012 5:27:06 PM

Gamerscore matters!

7/19/2012 5:28:27 PM

i have to actually control my players jaybee

plus when my contract is up, i'll take my A+ Coach Prestige to the Wolfpack

and its fun to actually have a bunch of A and A+ recruiting pitches, instead of getting like 4 decent prospects a year

[Edited on July 19, 2012 at 5:34 PM. Reason : achievement whore]

7/19/2012 5:32:35 PM

So when is the game going to be worth a purchase? A month or two from now?

7/19/2012 5:35:16 PM

I wasnt talking coach mode, I meant the kids' style too. I mean, I use teams like Tennessee and NC State and its too easy and boring, cant imagine Bama, LSU, USC, etc.

7/19/2012 5:35:45 PM

i dunno, but somehow after winning the national title my first year, the SEC's conference prestige has gone down to an A-

7/19/2012 5:40:07 PM

What a maroon

7/19/2012 5:50:08 PM

fyi, offseason recruiting is pointless if you have no scholarships left

i even had a couple soft commits to Bama but i guess theres no walkons in this game

7/19/2012 5:50:23 PM

Ok, after the play is called, but pre-snap you can hit RT and the offensive player names pop up under each player right? Why aren't the defensive player names showing up? They did before right? I think....

7/19/2012 6:40:05 PM

i think its a glitch...sometimes the offensive player names dont even pop up when you're on offense...at first i thought maybe it was if you were on the road and the crowd was loud, but i've had it happen at home too...buggy

7/19/2012 7:17:16 PM

Saw this link while reading a Deadspin article: http://kotaku.com/5926977/recruiting-myself-with-ncaa-football-and-wondering-if-ill-answer-the-phone

... written from the perspective of a State grad recruiting himself to State.

7/20/2012 1:52:00 AM

i CANNOT win online right now. 0-5 with only one TD. im about to throw this shit

7/20/2012 9:15:52 PM

epic Coach Mode game versus the Holes...up 14-7 at the half...down 21-14 after 3...UNC has it inside my 10 with 11 seconds left and kicks a field goal on 3rd down to go up by 3 points...7 seconds left, Glennon hits Underwood for a touchdown as time expires to win the game...5 TD passes for Glennon, 3 of them to Underwood...Amerson with 2 picks...classic

7/21/2012 6:41:40 PM

and arent you prouder of this victory than any old 10 Yard Fight bullshit?


started a dynasty with La Tech (Dooley Jr yo), holy fuck their QB is good. Beat A&M and Houston first two weeks, Heisman, CM

7/21/2012 8:05:48 PM

i can never get the hang of the stiff arm...do you have to time it really well or something? or is the animation for it not that pronounced? do you tap A or hold it down throughout?

7/22/2012 11:50:57 PM

I haven't played this game but in recent years they don't stick an arm out if you press it when a guy is going for a tackle it only might do it if the guy doesn't go for a certain type of unstiffarmable tackle animation.

[Edited on July 22, 2012 at 11:57 PM. Reason : but i did stay at a HI express lastnight]

7/22/2012 11:56:32 PM

anybody know if you can set the depth charts for a custom Teambuilder school? custom as in brand new rosters? i know you can manually set it if you do a dynasty or something but I made one on their site and the depth chart is screwy

7/23/2012 1:52:08 AM

Oh come on NCAA, you gotta get the imposed penalties correct. I'm scheduled to play UNC in the ACC Championship game, they're not even suppose to be allowed in this year! Haha.

7/23/2012 8:01:26 AM

^and they still have their Academic Prestige as an A or something like that

I've found some cool Team Builder schools uniform-wise, like the Charlotte Bobcats, Minnesota Twins, etc...teams that have nothing to do with football, but have some pretty good uniforms and alternate uniforms, with actual team colors, primary and alternate logos etc, but none of them have actual players

I might spend an hour later this afternoon doing a Bobcats team that has a full roster...everybody from Kemba and MKG, to Gerald Wallace and Primoz Brezec

[Edited on July 24, 2012 at 8:49 AM. Reason : Sean May at defensive tackle]

7/24/2012 8:49:37 AM

I made a Bobcats team

Every single player on the team is a real current or former Bobcat...or coach or owner

I tried to put bigger name players as starters and lesser name players as backups, although that didn't work out perfectly...also every QB is a point guard

best players on the team rating wise ended up being MKG and Wallace

download it and give it a shot! (gamertag: Akwatic)

7/24/2012 3:18:04 PM

Anyone else finish their first season in dynasty? I had no early attrition. Not sure if I got lucky or they removed it from the game. Was pleased to see Amerson not trying to leave.

7/26/2012 11:24:48 AM

same thing here. amerson stayed and he'd even gotten 9 picks and won the thorpe award. glennon only got drafted in the 6th round and he broke the school records for yardage and touchdowns.

7/26/2012 12:33:29 PM

Amerson didn't win Thorp award for me, but he did end up with 12 picks.

And my draft breakdown was:
Wolff - 2nd
CJ Wilson - 3rd
Glennon - 3rd(didn't win any awards, only broke the QB rating and passing TD records)
J. Washington - 5th
M. Carter - 6th
D. Johnson - 7th

Didn't get to finish my off-season work, but curious to see how much Amerson can really improve. Though he did drop a TON of INT's in my first season, so maybe he can improve his hands, haha.

7/26/2012 12:44:14 PM

In my Alabama dynasty I had 4 underclassmen who were going pro, I convinced all 4 to come back. Had one guy transferring because he was homesick but I couldn't convince him to stay

7/26/2012 1:11:32 PM

^^my amerson went to 97 overall, pre-season all-american. 99 awareness and 99 in both zone and man coverage. i think his catch stat is around 76.

7/26/2012 2:42:28 PM

I believe Amerson's catch is that low. He dropped a ton of INT's in my first season. Frustrated me because I know his catch should probably be higher than his man-coverage rating, haha.

7/26/2012 3:43:47 PM

f i76 is typically really high for a db in this game. dropped picks comes from inproper timing.

[Edited on July 26, 2012 at 3:47 PM. Reason : if i ever have a weak wr who has an abnormal tackle rating, i convert him to corner for that 70s cth]

7/26/2012 3:46:10 PM

Dropped picks come from a decade old algorithm. Every game has half a dozen wide open picks that go right thru the db's hands; otherwise we'd have a turnover every few plays.
