EA Shutting Down Servers

UnleashTheCASEY · 01-06-2011, 02:33 PM

So, since EA is shutting down the server, does anyone know which achievements require server interaction? Obviously "Go out and Crush Someone" qualifies, but any others? Season Showdown achievements? "You Gotta See This"? Road to Glory achievements?

Server Shutdown for this game February 8th, 2011.

EA isn't shutting down the servers for this game just yet.

The original article just listed the games, had to do some digging to find systems. Apparently, NCAA 10 is shutting down for PS2 only.

ahhh...Simple mistake. You had me scambling cause I just bought this on eBay. Who plays PS2...am I right?

UnleashTheCASEY · 01-12-2011, 07:37 PM

I never did. I was so irked by the poor design of the PS 1 (no fan, really) that I refused to buy the PS2. Almost did anyway after the Dreamcast death, but then Microsoft got involved.

I was a big Nintendo guy...all the way up to Wii...then I got my xBox 3 years ago.

My wife wanted the GameCube back in the day so I got her that system. Now, I have two little girls and we got a Wii to play the family games. Just recently got the Kinect for the same reason but my 5 yr old has some trouble working the menus and understanding that she can't keep creeping closer to the TV.

Back to the original question since they are shutting down the servers....just two achievements that require online, correct?

ianke_2002 · 07-13-2011, 02:49 AM

^^^^^^^^^ somebody answer this mans question

Ellerkermike371 · 07-13-2011, 02:54 AM

Rephrase the question

ianke_2002 · 07-13-2011, 07:28 AM

are the only two achievements that REQUIRE online capabilities oin NCAA do the achievements named Reach Out and Crush Someone and You Gotta See This/. or do more achievements require online?

Ellerkermike371 · 07-13-2011, 08:41 AM

Yes you do need gold for all online achievements.

ianke_2002 · 07-13-2011, 03:39 PM

Wow...really?

Although I believe I know the answer, the question is.......since they are closing the servers, what achievements are online dependant. IE: You need an online Xbox Live account to gain the <fill in the blank> achievements.

Thomas Irwin · 07-15-2011, 03:13 AM

I would suspect that the three achievements for Skills, Strategy and Sportsmanship points are server dependent as well, as the stats are uploaded -- not sure that they are actually stored in your harddrive's profile. Had temporary server connection difficulties the other day, and received no points for a game played -- potentially why?
I would get these to be safe. Other than those five, I believe you should be good. Been worrying about this myself. Scrambling to finish.

JLogan27 · 07-16-2011, 03:18 AM

Yeah, it seems your skills stats are uploaded to the EA servers. These will probably not work once they are shut down. Thanks for the heads up on that.

EA loves to shut its servers down...I got caught on madden 07. Best to get EA games done and out of the way early.
