Online Franchise Mode Connection Issues:
If you are experiencing problems connecting with your opponents, please do the following:
-Make sure your PS3 is directly connected with an ethernet cord and not wireless. **Wireless causes lag and does not allow information to be read correctly**
-Make sure you have 55 players on your roster. No more than 55. Count how many you have.
-Make sure you have enough players at every position.
**At least 2 for every position and 5 for WR's/CB's**
-Make sure you do not have any injured players starting in the line-up.
-The last thing you do is you click on a starter, sub him out for a back-up and save your depth chart. Then sub your starter back in and save your depth chart. What this does is it updates your depth chart correctly.
******If you follow all these steps and the PS3/EA Server Connection issue steps, you will not have an issue connecting to your opponents. It works at least 95% of the time*****
*****If you continue to experience problems, it is possible that the franchise servers are overloaded and you will just have to play your opponent another day****
