Q: Can multiple players play in the same online dynasty while on the same console?

A: (from BEN) "yes, multiple users can participate in an online dynasty on the same console. While only one user can be signed into the dynasty at a time, the user will have the option to set an "offline password" which they will be able to enter in order to play their user vs. user online dynasty game offline. The reason for the password is to prevent one user from playing the game offline without the other user's consent."

Q: Will the online dynasty stats be posted at EASW?

A: (From BEN) "Online Dynasty Stats will not be tracked as a part of EASW, that is something we are looking into adding for next year, but turned into a much larger task then originally planned and will not make it in for NCAA09. As for the stats that will be tracked, we will track the same stat categories that Madden tracks for EASW (total games played, W/L, Avg. Rushing yards/game, Avg. Passing yards/game, 3rd down %, Avg. time of possession, etc.)"

Q: Can you use custom sliders/rosters in an online dynasty?

A: yes, the commissioner chooses what rosters to use when creating the online dynasty. The commissioner is also in charge of difficulty levels/sliders. They can be changed during the season, however, when he/she does change it, it does not go into effect until the following week. to prevent any kind of cheating being done by the commissioner playing on a lower level.

Q: What happens if someone gets disconnected during an online dynasty user vs. user game?

A: (from Ben) "if your opponent disconnects you will have the ability to continue vs. the CPU and use that game result as the game result for both opponents. you will also have the option of quitting and not counting that game (i.e. willing to play the game again).

In addition to this, we've added a way to deal with a situation where one user had a legit disconnect, and the other user completed the game, but both users want to play the game again rather than take the result of the disconnected game. In this situation the user that didn't finish the game can send a game invite to their opponent, the opponent can either decline the invite (i.e. keep the result of the disconnected game) or accept the invite, which will toss out the previous result and allow the users to play their online game again."

Q: How does the Weather for online dynasty work?

A: It uses the same weather system as the offline dynasty does.

Q: Will there be a chance for lag or disconnects during user vs. CPU games in an online dynasty?

A: no, games vs. the CPU are played offline in an online dynasty.

Q: Can the commish tell how many times a person disconnected from a game? (example....human vs. cpu, and human keeps starting over to keep from losing)

A: yes, everyone will be able to see how many time a person has restarted a certain game.

Q: Can the commish throw out game results?
