I'm OK with trying to just play an online game away from the dynasty I guess.

This is bullshit. Ziff that is a opition but you wont have your hot streak players which would be a big help in the real game. Agreed. It's not ideal, but we've tried at least 10 times. EA sucks.

Is there a way to have us play at a neutral site?

Orange Bowl
Maryland 31 #8 SMU 28
Got an early lead forcing two turnovers in the first quarter. Had a 31-14 lead with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter. SMU got near the goaline twice and scored two touchdowns after I whiffed on two goaline tackles that I should have let the cpu handle. Recovered the onside kick and my qb ran for a first down to ensure victory.
SMU only ran the ball 5 times the whole game but scored 3 touchdowns on the ground...lol. Couldn't get pressure on smu's qb he had all day to throw most of the game. Hopefully this win gets me in the Top 25. Won a BCS bowl but I'm not currently in the Top 25. (9-5) record on the year.

I realize you guys are a little preoccupied right now, but I haven't noticed any "hot streak" players. Maybe I haven't played well enough to see one? Anyway where would this show up because I've heard about ratings changing, but I haven't seen it anywhere? My RB should have had a ratings jump early in the year when he was leading the nation in rushing at the least.

Seriously Ozi? Why did you quit? I understand that this whole process has been tough, with all the disconnects and stuff, but we had a good game going.
The score right now is Tennessee 26 - 14 South Carolina. Ozi was driving and took it down to my 13, but I forced a fumble on a Connor Shaw scramble, recovered the ball, and Ozi quit. There is 6:05 left in the 4th quarter.
I'm going to continue against the cpu I guess.

Cuz I'm not letting this bullshit EA shit ruin my Nation Championship run Dude, we're playing in your home stadium and I've been playing the entire second half without Tyler Bray because he got knocked out with a concussion. Yeah we don't have our hot players, but you would have counted it if you beat me like usual. This is the first time I've ever beaten you and I've never quit a game early on you, even when you used to rout me in our Purdue-Indiana games.

I don't take this as a loss... Will have to figure out how to play the real game.

I'm acting this way because I've already beaten you in the regular season, and beat Hez for the 1st time to get to the NC game. I don't think it's fair to play with out our real teams, I didn't want to do this in the first place.

After finishing up against the CPU, the final score is Tennessee 26 - 14 South Carolina.
Admittedly, it was in less than idea conditions. After about 10 attempts trying to play the real game, Ozi and I decided to try playing a regular online game with the default teams. Whoever won that game would then sim the online game and take the W. In fact, I invited Ozi first to the game to try to get it going once we both agreed. When we realized we couldn't have a neutral site game, Ozi quit the game session I invited him to so that he could invite me and be the home team, as would have been the case in our actual online game.
When we first tried to play online, Ozi won the coin toss and elected to kickoff first. Thereafter, each time we tried to play our game, regardless of whether I won or lost the coin toss, I replicated that result, even though I prefer to kickoff in the first half. I tried to get the game as close as we could to our initial encounter.
Our game was a tight one and there were no complaints. Ozi took a slim lead into halftime, 14-13. After some great defense, Tennessee finally broke through with a big play from BACKUP QB Justin Worley, because Tyler Bray was out of the game with a concussion. The ensuing 2-pt attempt failed, as Ozi picked it off in the endzone.
In the 4th quarter, I ran a playaction to my TE and scored an open Td. This left Ozi losing 26-14 with 6:40 left in the game. He drove the field from his 5-wide formation that I've never been able to stop. When he got into the redzone, he tried to scramble with Connor Shaw. My linebacker that was spying him hit him and forced the fumble. I recovered, and Ozi quit.
I am now 1-5 against Ozi, so he's certainly still the better play. However, I feel that this game should count and I believe that the only reason Ozi is saying that it doesn't is because he doesn't like the outcome. I respect Ozi and understand that his record against me speaks for himself. I am disappointed, however, that he quit the game and is refusing to count this game.

In my eyes only 1 answer to all this..........
1. Congrats on the NC Beef. 2. Good season Ozi just look forward to utilizing the #1 player in the nation for 4 years. Beano Cook is predicting 4 Heismans. 3. RW and Beef do what you have to do to log this game into our dynasty. 4. Flip this shit. 5. Let's continue to work the boards to see if EA comes up with a resolution to this issue in the next month.
Season 2 is upon us.

OK, not to be coy, but this scenario just happened this past season--no one voted LSU a national champ based on their regular season win over Bama. I admit that I would have rather played the real thing, but it obviously wasn't going to happen--we tried 10 times.
