im an idiot so can you elaborate on this more.

are you saying that say i finish my game monday night. when i go to play tuesday night, if the ea servers are down i can still play my next match up?

obviously that's what you make it sound like.

so say i play that match up, then on wednesday fire up my recruiting on my pc, does everything upload and flow consistently?

somehow on this issue im really in the gray.

this is also a very good point.

1-person online with Stanford probably. This is perfect, the write-ups and everything. I had, for YEARS, been writing journal write-ups of both my NCAA and Madden franchises for readers to enjoy so this feature just makes life so much easier for me now. As stupid as it may sound, this was one of the biggest features I asked for from EA and they delivered, so I'm exteremly happy about this. I used to solely be an offline franchise guy but I'll use the capabilities of online now. I don't see why I wouldn't go online

offline as always.....

I'm going to flood the game with all classic teams and players lock in on some solid sliders. I might venture on online just to have dynasty stories created about guys like Deion Sanders and Roger Staubach but it would still be single player mode.

I'm looking forward to enjoying this years version all year right up til NCAA 12 hits....

Other than the lack of Dirty Uni's...... I blame on making this game BEASTY for my personal gameplay preference!

Well since you cant change conferences in an online dynasty, im gonna take a weak teambuilder team and try and get them to a major conference. only way to do that is offline

I've been playing this series for awhile but I've never got down with online dynasties. Mainly because the fear of lagging/other players not taking it seriously. I've vowed to give it a fair shake this year, however I do have some questions that I hope someone can please answer.

1. is it a full dynasty of 120+ teams, or is it ran like some mini tournament?
2. How does schelduling work? what if you scheldule someone who doesnt want to play you?
3. Can you export draft classes?
4. and most importantly. Can you use uploaded rosters (names)


Thanks for making this the one stop shop for all video game inquiries.

Go Blue!!

1-Usually it'll be 12 teams and depending on how it's done it could be a conference OD or just a regular one. You'll still play computer teams it's just a way to enhance the experience.

2-scheduling is handled by the comish and usually they talk with the guys in the dynasty about head to head games. If you end up with someone who doesn't want to play then the commish will figure it out.

3-Last year you were able to so I would assume yes.

4-Yes you can use name rosters
