Poll: How often do you utilize the Online Dynasty Website?

[The_Wise_One]

It is a convenient little feature that I don't hear people talk about. How often, if ever, do you visit the site?

I only use it when i need to recruit, and im not able to get on my xbox.

It is a nice feature though.

Although we were stuck with the beta for awhile, the final version is nice and polished. Just something I thought EA did a good job with.

I use it all the time. There are still bugs, though, which is just ridiculous.

For my OD I use it all the time. I never recruit from it because it takes way too long when compared to the console, but I use it for scouting sometimes. Other than that there are some things that are just nicer than what's even on the console.

The "Teams" tab is awesome for seeing who still needs to do what for the week and is way better than the corresponding menu on the console. The rankings tab is better than on the console and the standings tab is WAAAAAY better than the console. On top of that, I love looking at the Home tab to see everyone's highlights in 1 place.

For those not familiar with the OD website, here's what the rankings and standings pages look like:

Depending on how many recruits you are recruiting, the web site can be much quicker than booting up your console, putting NCAA in, booting the game, loading your dynasty, and then recruiting. Though somehow it is definitely more tedious.

I use it a good bit to have my roster pulled up while recruiting on the console. The website recruiting doesn't show how many points ahead/behind you are on a recruit and it doesn't show the advisor and a few other things in the recruiting screen on the console.

Another problem is that in the change position part of the dynasty, you are unable to move an athlete to a specific position. I even opened a ticket with them on this, telling me to call the phone number which has a wait time over a hour before it disconnects me. Then I emailed them back on the problem and they send their blanket response and didn't attempt to read my email and even referred to wrong game. I take it they weren't interested in fixing it. It is a shame, the Online Website could be better than the console if they put more work into it.

You can move athletes just fine (I've done it before). The problem is that it doesn't show up in the position changes on the DW, but they do in fact get moved.

IE. I have 2 ATHs:
ATH Jones
ATH Smith

I move ATH Jones to QB and ATH Smith to WR.

On the DW, for position changes, it still shows them both as ATHs so it looks like they didn't get changed.
However, after the OD is advanced, you can see that I now have a QB Jones and a WR Smith on my team so the changes worked fine.
