I only bought this game for Online Dynasty. While waiting for the right people to come along with an OD to join, I played some Campus Legend. It was pretty fun. I joined the OD and experienced major issues with online play. Turned out to be an issue with my cable modem dropping packets for a few seconds at a time at an average interval of about 15 minutes. Still frustrating though that what wasn't bad enough to kick me off Xbox Live was bad enough to kick me off the EA servers. And, there was no option in Online Dynasty games for the other user to invite me back in. So season 1 of Online Dynasty was ruined by connection problems. Season 2 was pretty good, and then in the offseason we ran into the Online Dynasty Players Leaving glitch. Right now we are all pretty pissed off.

Online Dynasty was a brilliant idea. Along with the revamped recruiting from NCAA 08, those are the only two features EA has added that made the game better. And they almost pulled it off. However leaving in a major clitch like the players leaving thing on online dynasty ruined that. They need to stop trying to add so many features and do a better job of perfecting the ones they have. But, everyone wants flashy new options in their game so it will never happen.
