AFL LIVE 2011 - 360, PS3 & PC - Part - 24

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

I get a lot of people trying to block my shots. Funny thing is, it's only ever been blocked maybe a couple of times. I might have to do illnino and HBK as friends... be interesting to see how I stack up against them. My handle is GhostOfBelushi. Haven't been on for a day or so, but last time I checked I was in the top 20 on PSN.

Plus, I'm in Perth, so gives you a chance to stay up later. Might even use my custom Perth Demons side against ya (I generally go the lower ranked sides).

I don't take set shots very often, so I never get blocked. When they try to block me I usually run past them for an easier goal.


hehehe.

Hey mate, I didn't get online until later than I though last night and I missed you and your bro by an hour or so.

Not sure if I'll be online tonight, but I have 2 days off after tomorrow so I'll be on a lot during that time, so hopefully I'll catch you guys online soon

Yea our internet was being annoying, we have massive lag lately for no reason... Even tried connecting through the ethernet cable.

Gonna try changing the IP settings and see if it does anything. I've done it before, and I'm pretty sure it worked but for some reason it reset and i couldn't be bothered changing it back

 

[Smoooothy]

I want to take on some of the top ranked players just for fun, but they never accept my invites. Argh! I'll get my arse whooped I think, but it'd be fun for a challenge.

 

[Mahama]

Playing online at the moment for the first time in a week, becoming a little frustrated at the constant matchups against poor players. Will be playing tonight and tomorrow, wouldn't mind a few close games during that time, so decent players feel free to add me on PSN!

Couple of things for future versions.

No injuries for online play. They are pointless and when it's a wet weather game you end up with 8 or so players being useless and its always one team who gets the raw deal. You know the moment you get an injury that you are screwed for the rest of the game as you will have no interchange and a few players on the field who are struggling to do anything

Less wet weather games, seem to get them 3/4 times online. Not sure if it is just my luck but it's extremely annoying since I hate wet weather games. Not sure why, i just find them to be more about soccering the ball and kicking it forward than requiring any skill at all.

end rant

 

[Beloved]

Gee, I'd love to get online at the moment but Xbox, being the bastards that they are, have to have an update when my internet is capped so it will take half a week to download it.

FML.

Unfortunately we have seen this happen to a few people. We are looking into what we can do but it is happening more than we would like.

Our guess at this point is that if you have a connection error as the leaderboard data is read we get zero's returned but no error code (not sure why!), we then add the XP for the current game and write it back to the leaderboard. We have tried to bullet proof the code (brute force) in the patch where if we get zero's from the leaderboard we re-read to make sure and if the issue continues then do not write back to the board. Hope this makes some sense.

It is also going to be happening to a wider group than reads here so to be fair to all I am thinking of running a competition where we give a prize to the person on top of the leaderboard for XBLA/PSN at a certain date and then resetting the board to zero to put everyone back on level footing post patch. What do you guys think?

[crazyeight]

Uh, no. Prize to everyone in the top 20 would be better.

 

[Scootyb]

Man that sucks, how are you supposed to be motivated to play online when at any point your EXP could go to 0? I was third and the whole point of playing was to see if i could a) compete with the best and b) have a shot at first. Now im 8600th and have to start again

 

[Beloved]

Uh, no. Prize to everyone in the top 20 would be better.

Agreed.*

*I haven't played online in about a month. I need to get cracking.

Resetting the leaderboard is a fantastic idea. Its almost impossible to catch up to the guys at the top. Not sure what time periods you would have between the resets though.

I'm happy with you guys resetting the leaderboards, as long as its XP only and not W/L records. Maybe reset XP every month?

 

[tomwalsh]

Yes reset the xp points because its been bs with quittees and man on the mark etc. When patch is out and everyone on same level it be fair to start again

I experienced a weird glitch a few days ago. I was playing with my custom team (I have about six) and finished a custom career game, and so turned my 360 off for about half an hour. Came back to play another one and noticed all my stats on the main menu had been reset. Also went into the footy factory and all of my created teams and players had been erased. My trophy room had also been emptied despite having won a couple of trophies.

At first I thought I had accidentally hit "reset teams" without noticing but that wouldn't have erased the other things, and also would have set all the created players to "delisted' rather than erased them (as I have done it before). Very strange.
