Clemson wins 24-7 in the rain in Miami

Spiller runs for 98 and two scores

Yeah, I've never had a problem with an online ranked game either, but I've had two disconnected online dynasty games (Apoc and Dynasty).

I did what markgoal said about clearing out the XBox live and after that Dynasty and I could complete our game. Whether that's solved the problem or not, I don't know.

What does "clearing out your xbox live" mean?

8/11/2009 4:50:03 PM

Turn off your router for 15 minutes. In the meantime, change your XBox system date to 11/15/2005. When you reboot the XBox your XBox Live and settings will be completely cleared and refreshed.


Could also be a port issue, so may sure you have open DNS for the relevant ports which I posted a couple days ago.

week advanced

#22 Alabama has a good week on the recruiting trail, picking up two 5* recruits including the #1 MLB Michael Outlaw and the #3 corner Kevin Jackson. Bama currently has the #2 recruiting class and hopes to pick up a few more top ranked recruits at weeks end. The Tide have a bye week ahead as they get prepared to play at home against the LSU Tigers.

EZ2Score21, up for a game?

Thank you for contacting EA Technical Support.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused to you in NCAA Football 2010. I understand you are having trouble playing your game online.

I would also request you to refresh your online connectivity through Xbox Live. The first thing you can do is to powercycle your modem. This is done by unplugging your modem from the power supply and letting it rest for about 10 to 15 minutes and then plugging it back in. During this time, you can reset your Xbox 360's time and date setting to the 11/15/2005 by following the below given steps.

·Press the Xbox Guide button on the controller to enter the Dashboard.
·Sign out of Xbox Live by pressing the X button.
·Select the System blade.
·Select Console Settings and press the A button.
·Select Clock and press the A button.
·Change the date to 11/15/2005 and press the A button to accept.

Combined, these steps may be able to refresh your console's connection to Xbox Live and resolve most, if not all of your connectivity issues.

Another thing you can do is to check the ports for Xbox Live. Connection issues typically are caused by one or more ports being blocked by a firewall, router, or even your Internet Service Provider to help maintain security. These ports are the doorways used to send and receive information between your computer and the server. First, try to bypass your router (if you have one) and see if the game can connect. If it does, then it means that the router itself may be blocking the needed ports for the game. If you are still unable to connect, the ports may be blocked directly by your Internet Service Provider.

The ports for Xbox Live are below. You may have to configure your router/firewall to have the game's ports open in order to connect to the servers properly. If you do not know how to configure your router, you can contact the manufacturer of the router for proper instructions. If you need to contact your ISP regarding these ports, make sure that they are open for both incoming and outgoing directions:

UDP Ports: 88 & 3074
TCP Port: 3074

I hope that this will resolve the situation. If you have any other questions, then by all means feel free to let us know. You can also refer to our extensive Self Help Knowledgebase at http://support.ea.com for common technical questions.

Thank you,

Scott
EA Online Support.

Can't keep a game connection with EZ2Score. I'm wondering if the XBox live update messed with some settings.

8/11/2009 9:16:56 PM

Good game EZ. Jumped out to the lead, got whipped in the second half. Too many turnovers, not enough running game.

8/11/2009 10:20:26 PM

Clemson beats Eastern Meeeechigan 49-20, behind nearly 200 yards from Jacoby Ford

8/11/2009 10:25:09 PM

Ole Miss completely shut down Auburn and their horrible offense, 31-17, with Auburn not scoring a TD until a hail mary in the 4th quarter and then a fumble return for a TD when I was running the clock out.

Snead was 14 for 24, with 157 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs
Dexter McCluster (WR) had 86 yards rushing and a TD
Shay Hodge had 2 receiving TDs

But the stars were on defense, 2 Ole Miss players had 4 sacks each in the game to tie for a new school record, DT Lawon Scott and LE Marcus Tillman.

The team as a whole sacked Auburn 10 times

8/12/2009 2:25:37 AM

Good game, markgoal.

When you started off 14-3, I knew I was in trouble. I couldn't pass the ball at all against your defense, so I just stuck with the running game and eventually that got me back in the game and allowed me to take the lead.

Also, he does a great job with Wilson. Makes it very hard to do anything defensively. Late in the game, I found something that started to work against you, but I'll leave that to everyone else to figure out, haha.

8/12/2009 9:00:35 AM

Also late in the game I had to force some things, which played into your hands. I really think I lost the game when George Bryan fumbled the ball after the 20 yard reception. You were wearing me down with the run, but that took me out of my offense.

8/12/2009 9:06:39 AM

Very true. That definitely played a part. After Nate's INT for a TD, I truly didn't know what to do against you, haha.

Whatever the case, the win moves FSU to 8-0 on the season with No. 5 Clemson on the horizon. The winner will position itself to play in the conference championship game. Also, a win would keep the Seminoles in contention for the National Championship game.

On the recruiting end, FSU picked up the #13 QB in the country (4-star) and now has four commitments:

#1 CB - 5*
#2 C (I think...) - 4*
#5 WR - 4*
#13 QB - 4*

8/12/2009 9:12:26 AM

Can you set jballs to auto dude hasnt been on in 4 days and i havent heard from him on here. im ready to play so i don't hold up the progress

8/12/2009 5:13:40 PM

Iceman when can you play. I'm free most nights

8/12/2009 7:00:41 PM

South Carolina picks up a 4* recruit this week after back to back wins against Bama and Vandy, a tackle from Florida.

Iceman, we are now holding up the league from moving forward since the Bulldogs are going to sim against UF since nym is out of town. Lets figure this out.

8/12/2009 8:39:55 PM

What's the hold up folks

8/13/2009 3:45:25 PM

ok, we have an opening with tennessee. I'm checking with dgspencer to see if he wants to join since he mentioned something before but if anyone else is interested, pm me.

8/13/2009 5:38:11 PM

I can't guarantee I can play tonight. I should be able to later in the evening. After 11 or so

8/13/2009 5:48:52 PM

halo- you can play your game when you get a chance.

8/13/2009 6:07:12 PM

Advancing in the morning then? Would be nice to play my game before I pick up Madden in the AM.

I may try to put together a midseason recruiting update later tonight for the user teams.

yeah, I never really figured out recruiting on there since they made it all complicated a few years back... I pretty much just do quick call all the time

8/13/2009 8:32:26 PM

Just coach up the walk ons, COACH.

8/13/2009 8:35:50 PM

I'm gone until Wednesday.

8/13/2009 8:47:58 PM

South Carolina takes Neyland by storm, defeating the Vols 23-16. In the post game interview coach Spurrier said, "I'm real proud of my team today, we had a tough day on offense but our defense and special teams stepped up to get us this win."

The first play from scrimmage for the Volunteers was a short pass that went for 9 yards but was then fumbled away to the SC safety who ran it back for a touchdown only 15 seconds into the game. After a Tennessee drive that led to a field goal, Cullivers 96 yard kickoff return put the SC offense in prime scoring position, 3 Baker runs later put the Cocks up 14-3 less than 3 minutes into the game. The rest of the first half was primarily a field position battle, a late drive by Tennesse led to a touchdown but the missed extra point only narrowed the lead to 5. Garcia led an efficient 2 minute drill that led to a 39 yard field goal to put the Gamecocks up by 8 at the half, 17-9.

The second half was another defensive struggle as both teams managed to play good defense when it counted. Tennessee's only points of the half came on a poor throw from Garcia that was picked for 6 by Berry. The USC defense was able to repel 4 late game plays from the 10 yard line in an attempt to tie the game, and the Gamecocks were able to hold on for a big divisional victory.

USC Stats:
Eric Baker: 21 rushes for 125 yards 1TD
Clifton Geathers (LE): 3 sacks

Tenn Stats:
Nick Stephens: 22 for 37 for 197 yards 0TD, 1INT
Montario Hardesty: 18 rushes for 109 yards, 1TD

Next up for the Gamecocks is the 1-6 Arkansas Razorbacks.

We are ready to advance!

8/14/2009 12:02:33 AM

week advanced.

The Tide continues their hot recruiting streak and picks up the #2 HB in the country, Art Brown, a 6' 180lb speedster from Jacksonville, AL.

8/14/2009 7:47:59 AM

despite a 17 point flurry by memphis in the fourth quarter that came from god knows where, UT holds off memphis 63-31 behind the legs of my former high school teammate monterio hardesty.

Hardesty: 282 yds 3 TD
Passing: 9/18, 182 yds 3 TD, 2 INT

Eric Berry had one pick six and the UT defense finished with 3 INT for the game.

8/14/2009 11:51:43 AM

so, we should do an online Madden league with a draft if it will let us do that...

8/14/2009 1:27:18 PM

Yeah just picked it up

Are you talking fantasy draft, or just draft for teams ?

either way would be fun

8/14/2009 1:31:41 PM

^Do you want to knock out our game this afternoon?

8/14/2009 1:36:47 PM

I'll be at the office till at least 6...either later tonight or sometime this weekend

8/14/2009 1:40:35 PM

Yeah that's fine. We'll figure something out. HUGE game at Death Valley...

8/14/2009 1:45:53 PM

Yeah two top 5 teams...winner gets a birth in the ACC title game and the inside track at a BCS game, if not the National Championship game

8/14/2009 1:53:39 PM

Yep! If you win though, you still have N.C. State. And markgoal is no walkover. So there are still some ways we could all end up tied. If I win, I think I have a couple ACC CPU games left and Florida in the finale. Either way, there's still work to do for both of us. HUGE game, nonetheless.

8/14/2009 2:00:17 PM

Well since we are both undefeated, the winner of this game would have to lose 2 ACC games after this not to be in the ACC title game...since if we finish tied the winner of this game wins the division

not sure how it works in a 3 way tie...its kind like texas, texas tech and Oklahoma last year...maybe the highest ranked team wins ?

fantasy draft.

brand new players, us being GM... would be sweet

8/14/2009 2:18:04 PM

Yeah would be fun...max of 8 or so people, maybe 10, anything more than that would be tough

8/14/2009 2:27:39 PM

I'm back... Played my game and killed UCF 26-0 (could have been A LOT more)... lost to UF I see.. Too bad it didn't work out I played that game and sim'd UCF...

8/14/2009 2:35:12 PM

can you do an online dynasty with the draft option?

anyone try it last year? this year?
