Disconnects:
Divergence errors, disconnects, connection issues, etc. Because the game may kick you back to the main menu if any of these should occur, it would be hard to recreate the same circumstances as when the network problem happened. In this case the game should be replayed in full.

Note: If you have noticed a number of disconnects happening all of a sudden with just a certain player please get in touch with the NCAA Commissioners to work on a way to try and work around the problems.

Voice chat:
It is an official requirement that every league member use their headset while playing league games. If not just to chat with your fellow gamer, at a minimum you need it to talk and hear each other if something should come up (ie. phone call, door bell, etc). The voice chat feature is what makes these games great, and it helps build comradery with fellow members. So please use it and get to know each other. If you don't like to talk, or maybe you can't because it's late at night or whatever, you still are required to wear the headset and be able to listen. Have the common courtesy to tell your playing partner "I can't talk right now" if that is the case.

Instant Messengers:
Please try and make yourself available on AIM, MSN, ICQ, etc and add all of the league members to your buddy lists. Most of use one or all of these chat clients and it is our primary tool for getting our games scheduled, lined up and started. You can use the forum and PM's of course, but the chat clients are "instant" of course.

Rankings/Polls:

I would like to make very clear we will not tolerate any members dropping out of the league. Anyone who drops from this league will never be asked back to this league and future membership in future & Current leagues (eg NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA, or Links 2004) could be invalidated.

Proper etiquette will be followed while posting in the NCAA Forums. Anyone found causing problems(Arguments, Soap Operas, Etc.) in the NCAA forum may be subject to removal.

Thank you all for your interest. We look forward to having a very competitive season, but most of all looking to have a lot of fun with this league.

 

=P~ <--------I think that says it all.

 

Re: NCAA Football 20

What does that mean? input the score and stats into the calculator? And what stats will we have to include?

 

Thee... Dude its no big deal...

There is a page you'll go to, to enter stats, which is call the calculator page...

The stats will probably first downs, rushing yards, passing yards, punt yards and kick yards... and turnovers as welll as personal stats like QB stats, RB stats, WR stats, with some defensive stats like sacks ints fumb recoveries.. stuff like that... That's how it was in the NFL league.. but we havent seen what all NCAA will track so... this is not edged in stone..

Dont get worried man.. this crew of commishes will keep you from getting lost..

 

Stats like QB yds, att/comp, tds, ints, RB/WR yds, att, tds, Def sacks, ints. The winner of each game inputs the stats for both teams on the score input page.

 

1) looks like stat entering should be easier with the fact that you get mailed the stats.. would be nice if there was some way to just enter those in and just enter basic stats for personal players...

2)I havent seen or heard anybody say anything about playbooks...im not liking the TCU PB andl its probably the fact that havent used it enough. is there any problem switching...?

 

1. The stats in the email are insufficient for stat entry. If you look closer, it is more of a scouting stats and no individual stats are given. There will be stat entry, but I'm not sure how much can be pulled from the email and what we are going to do with that feature yet.

2. I see no problem changing playbooks if that is what you want to do.

 

Yeah, the email would only give you rushing/passing totals for each team. That would save all of 10 seconds from checking it yourself. Plus, there's the issue of "if" and "when" their server sends that email out and it could hold you up from entering the stats if you're waiting for an email.

I'm still looking how to change the defense playbook. The email report keeps saying "Air Force" for everyone's defense (which would make sense as everyone seems to have the exact same defensive sets and plays no matter what team they pick online). When you pick your playbook in the setup, it doesn't specify Off/Def, so maybe it's just a bug of some type.

 

I still dont receive emails. Do you start receiving emails after you link your tag to the EA site? Or is it automatically sent to the email address you typed on the EA set up screen on LIVE? Also, does your email addy have to be the same as your LIVE account or we can type any? Thanks for any replys.

 

Maruaders that's what i was saying, use the email. for the stats and then get the individual stats personally.. But no problem either way...

Glad to hear abou tthe PB's .. I need some help.. I might go back to that PB.. but right now.. i need an edge that my pb isnt giving me..

 

Striker, make sure you go through all the options and turn the email feature on, I think you also must share info with Ea, but you don't have to share it with EA partners. TMG has had lock up problems trying to set his up, but mine has worked fine from day 1.

 

Yeah & it's still locking up. :evil:

 

Thanks Papernut. I was having lock up problems last night also.

 

Striker -

You can use any email you want to, doesn't have to be the one linked to your live account. In fact, I've changed mine 3x already depending on where I want the box scores sent that night.

You do not have to share with EA or partners (both to OFF/NO) and it still works fine.

What you DO have to enable is that you want box scores sent to you "YES" in another page of the setup in the game.

You do not have to link your Gamertag to your EA account or whatever. That still isn't even working for me.

 

I guess it isnt working for me. I tried everything you guys stated and nothing. I guess some of us have to wait til they clear all the bugs.

 

Must just be us Florida College Fans.

" Welcome to the Lockup Zone " you can log in but never get out! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ..........

 

LOL, that is what is funny. I enabled the yes to receive the box scores, but I have yet to give an email address. Didn't know where that was.:?

 

I did all that stuff last night, but everytime I signed off of XBOX Live for whichever reason, it would always be blank and ask that I re-enter it all which is very frusturating.

 

That doesn't make any sense socalguy. You ARE telling it to save after you put in your email address right?

 

Yes, I go to Save all Settings or Save All Changes however it is worded exactly, and then it sits there for lke 5 seconds and then it blacks out the Save as it is already saved. Then I hit B to go back, and then change other settings, but when I sign back on later, it is all gone.
