***Important Information Regarding Dynasty Settings***

---

In another dynasty some of us are involved in, there was a huge snafu which caused all game results to be erased, and the games simmed when the advance was initiated. This error is due to a user not setting "Ready to advance" manually and saving the dynasty file to their hard drive. When the dynasty is advanced, the save file of the commissioner is supplanted by the incomplete file of the user and the wrong info is sent to the servers.

The rule of this dynasty is no saving the dynasty to hard disk, and all users must manually set "Ready to advance."

Here is some info on the problem from the 360 league page.

From what I have been told, this happens with no set pattern when the user does NOT go into the Dynasty Headquarters and manually set ready to advance. This doesn't happen to everyone, it doesn't happen often but it should be eliminated by choosing Set Ready to Advance.

Hell some users don't know that it even does it to them because the result doesn't change. The easiest way to see that it happens in the dynasty is to go into the scoring summary for each user and look at when the points were scored. We play 7 minute quarters and were seeing TD's at 11:39 in the first. This was the tell tell sign.

We have since all (9 members) been setting Manual ready to advance and have not had a problem since.

For us this was huge. We had problems in the first 2 weeks of advancing but have since started doing what I mentioned and the problem has not repeated itself.

Also make sure to do this for the offseason recruiting as well. If not you could lose that weeks recruiting. Happened in a different OD that I was in. Guy forgot to set it, and boom the next week he had 0hrs left in his recruiting.

We all played it off as a recruiting violation just to add some fun with it though. We keep track of everything in our 9 man dynasty so it is fun to follow and keeps everyone entertained. We all write articles (or most), clip highlights, and post like a message board main page for each team. That was the big headline, UW gets slapped with a recruiting violation. Everyone loved it.

Moral of the story here:

1.) NO ONE save the dynasty file to your HD. It apparently can eff things up for everyone.

2.) ALWAYS set "Ready to Advance" from now on in every facet of the dynasty: Regular Season, Offseason, etc.

I will attempt to play my game at lunch. If not I will def get it in before 10pm.


figs....

Didn't save they dynasty to the HD, and will replay my game in a bit.

Colorado St. 28

Only that close because the computer threw a late TD. The game was never in question.
