Uh no. I don't recall last year's game ever freezing on me. It's frozen on me twice now because of this stupid Season Showdown thing. It doesn't concern me in the least yet I have no option to turn it off. The only effect it has on me is it counts against me for sportsmanship each game and now I guess I have to cross my fingers that my stats will get uploaded at the end of the game without freezing.

I will be disconnecting from the internet from now on. It's asinine that you have to do that but with EA's shoddy work on Season Showdown I guess I have no choice.

Re: Get rid of Season Showdown completely

I couldnt agree more with the OP. I hate this feature.....now it might hold some merit for those people who play online ranked matches and cheese. But for me i just play in an online dynasty with a friend. We play on opposite sides of the country....we dont even want to play against each other until the bowl week. So for us we are mostly playing against the computer.

I have had this stupid thing freeze on me a couple times as well, But the Most frustrating thing about this feature is giving me negative points for throwing the ball @ the end of a game when i am up big. First of all i have tried running the ball late in blowout games and you know what happens the computer loads the box with 10 guys and either my RB gets hurt or he fumbles. Now im not gonna sit there and let that happen over and over. If their gonna put 11 guys in the box im gonna run a slant and burn em' and if anyone thinks for a min that this wouldnt happen in real life ur crazy. Im not trying to run it up, but im not gonna risk one of my players getting hurt just for some stupid season showdown stat that doesnt even matter. Second of all in the real world of college football, no defense.....none......0 would load the box with 11 guys at the end of games. Im an OU fan, when OU plays North Texas or UTEP and blows them out..... those schools usually run there base defense at the end of the game....and OU usually runs the ball trying to eat clock and end the game. Now if that happend in NCAA 11 then i would be happy to run the ball kill the clock and finish the game. Third, las time i checkd 35 - 14 is not a blowout.

Just give me the option to end turn this off, thats all i ask for.

If I want to pass on 3rd down when I'm up 21 points, I'll DO IT!

Just so I'm clear, to DISABLE season showdown I just need to SIGN OUT of xbox live before playing, correct?

Game froze uploading stats to season showdown server. After a big win too, just great.

There is no way we can disable this at all?

Re: Get rid of Season Showdown completely

Running my offense with my second string in so that I can get a feel for how my backup isn't unsportsmanlike. If the CPU wants to onside kick in the 4th quarter it's a close enough game to pass. Shove your WARNING: RUNNING IT UP up your ****ing ***. I'm not going to just run dive plays into a 9 man front so the CPU can come back.
