Season 2 - Week 4 Open

Week 4 is now open.  I will advance the week on Sunday (10/13).

You guys know how much I need a win... I'm up 14-7 on Utah in the 2nd and of course I DC. Not saying I would've won but the 14 in 2 quarters was what I scored in the last 2 games. 

I'll give it another shot tmrw but sad to say my new starting QB almost had 100 yards rushing by that point.. Much faster than Hundley

Utah pulled the same crap with me after I jumped up 21-0... 

Kinda shady... I think we should kick them from the dyanasty...

Ohio State vs Nebraska having some technical difficulties.

Game 1: Rain (bleh). In the 2nd quarter, Ohio State is driving to go up 14-0. Both of us get kicked.

Game 2: The AI decides Nebraska is to become '94/'95 Huskers god-like and go up 17-0 in the first quarter. Braxton started 0-4 passing with 3 Interceptions. My internet drops and disconnects from PSN.

I don't get how I can play everyone just fine in Madden and NCAA. But me and Buckeye can't complete a game in NCAA 14. We'll try again tomorrow night.

I've had the same issue.

A buddy of mine and I played a bunch of times in Madden 08 or 09 and then the next years version we couldn't get pass the first quarter without disconnecting and neither of our internet set ups had changed.

Also, OV4U2 and I have the same issue. We've played regular online games (not Dynasty) in NCAA13 but we couldn't connect in our Dynasty Bowl game and then in Week 1 we tried three times without getting pass the team selection stage.

Just weird.

Michigan State, perhaps looking ahead to next week's monster matchup at Iowa, gets a late pick 6 to survive a scare against Purdue. The Spartans did receive some bad news, however as star RB Nick Hill, who tried playing through the game with a sore shoulder, dislocated his elbow and will be out 10 weeks.

No tears were shed in Iowa City.

None in Champaign either.

Same.

Hawkeyes Claim Cy-Hawk Trophy



The Iowa Hawkeyes entered the game vs Iowa State 3-0 and #3 in the country, but as usual the case in rivalry games those records don't matter.  The Cyclones, playing at home, were determined to knock off the Hawkeyes and for 3 quarters they hung tough.  Iowa, led by redshirt freshmen QB Nic Shimonek due to Jake Rudock's injury, once again employed a run heavy offense to move the ball.  Shimonek was effective and accurate early in the game but his first real mistake came in the third quarter when an ill-advised pass landed in the hands of a Cyclones defender.  Iowa State turned that turnover into a TD and tied the game at 17 midway through the third quarter.  From that point on, however, Coach Steel Pitt and his staff put the ball in the hands of senior RB Damon Bullock who carried the Hawkeyes to victory by rushing for 2 second half TD's and chewing up the clock late.


RB Damon Bullock finished with 175 yards rushing and 3TD's

The Hawkeyes earned the Cy-Hawk Trophy for the second straight season with a 34-24 victory.  The Hawkeyes return home next week to open Big Ten play versus Michigan State.

FINAL SCORE

Iowa Hawkeyes 34
Iowa State Cyclones 24

The Irish blow open a 21-21 game at halftime, scoring 28 points in the 3rd on their way to a 56-28 victory. Malik Zaire continues his development with 209 yards passing and another 78 yards on the ground. Stephon Tuitt was the defensive player of the game getting to Devin Gardener for 5 sacks.

The team select issue might have something do with uniform packs. EDJ and I had this problem week 1, but were able to fix it.

Apparently if one person has downloaded the free uniform pack, the other person has to, otherwise the game locks up when both people hit "Ready." Tried 3-4 times, froze every time. Then I downloaded the uniform pack, and it worked just fine.

FYI, the week advances tomorrow.  Two games remaining:

Alabama vs Missouri
Ohio State vs Nebraska

W just got disconnected for the 3rd time... Let it sim... Hopefully Nebraska wins as he was kicking my ass (21-3) again...
