Remote control errors
When i start to play EA Sports active and get to the main screen, the controls become reverse. So when you point the remote up the pointer on screen goes down. when you point the remote left the pointer on screen goes right... any ideas?
The wii is up to date.
This error only happened on the second day of gameplay. first day was fine.
This only occurs when playing EA Sports active. any other game is fine.|||I have the exact same error. It only happens with one of my remotes, the other works fine. And it only happens in EA Sports Active. Any suggestions would be helpful. I've tried new batteries, resetting the remote. I could hold the remote upside down but I'm not sure if there is an impact on the nunchuck then.|||I have had exactly the same problem and its really frustrating, it happened on my third day when I was half way through doing my work out, I've tried everything and nothing has worked to correct it, I've tried it on another game and the remote is fine, so it is definatly this game.

Create workouts from web
We should be able to create workout programs on this site, some tool which we could add/edit custom workouts, then the game could sync when it logs in to the EA servers. Anyone else think this is a good idea? I don't know how responsive or supportive EA is in regards to listening to user feedback for things like this and I know it would be a big job but that would separate them from the rest of the fitness games, none of the others I've ever tried let you do this like Wii Fit, EA active 1 or UBI softs fitness evolved.
Along the same lines it would be great to be able to do the Other Activity and Nutrition surveys from this site.
These fitness games linking their data to a web site is great, just would be awesome if it was more than just an online display for what I just did. Kind of like these web portals are becoming obligatory for this genre and not a focused and useful tool like it could be.
Anyway if you agree please keep this post bumped and maybe EA will agree its worth building! Tx and good luck to all!

How to add a second profile to EA Sports Active 2.0
Hi, I just bought EASA2 today, and so far I'm very pleased with the product.
My only problem is that my girlfriend would like to setup her own profile, so she would be able to excercise and track her own stats without having to use my profile.
So far I browsed the different menus, but wasnt able to find anything close as to add a second unique profile to the game. I did found a way to delete my profile (which is listed as LEAD right now) but not creating one... Id like to add that as soon as I load the game and press start on the welcome screen, I'm sent directly to my profile without being asked anything else.
Please help on this matter.
Thanks! :)|||Sorry for double post, server stopped to respond the first time I tried to post this topic|||My wife and I also bought this product with the same expectations as we had that capability with the previous versions of this game. Please provide some support.|||StrifeK, if you have a PS3, you'll need to go out of the game by pressing the PS3 Home button, and enter the Sony dashboard. From here, scroll to the far left and enter the Users option. Select "Create a new profile", and then select the profile and select "log in". If you now enter EA SPORTS Active 2, you will be using this new profile.|||Thank you for the quick replies, the help is really appreciated!|||

NFL issue with DB Challenge
I have been using Active Personal Trainer, More Workouts, and since New Year's I've been working with NFL training camp. Aside from the network issues recording my workouts to the website which began 30 days in to my 60 day Challenge, the only other issue I have has been when the DB Challenge comes up. The video shows how to hold the Wii remote when you go to the right forward and back, which is not a problem. However, I struggle with how/where to point the controllers when going left forward and back. Does anyone have success with this challenge?|||Here is what has worked for me:
Think of them as slight modifications of the split lunges that we do in other parts of the workout, the only difference being that you are adding left, right and backward shifts to the movement.
If you are lunging to the left side lead with your left leg, to the right side lead with your right leg.
The lead/front leg should be bent at the knee at a 90 degree angle, and the trailing leg should be straight with your heel off the floor (just like with the straight on split lunge).
The Wii remote should be pointing straight down at the floor, hanging straight down from your shoulder and parallel with the lead leg (which again should have a 90 degree bend at the knee).
Hope this helps. It has been working pretty consistently for me. And remember that the lunges in this challenge should not look much different from the split lunges you are already doing, except for the direction you are doing them in.|||Im on day 2 of TRYING to use my game! I have to say I am livid !!
I was doing split lunges and it refused to see me! Kept saying " get moving " "Hold still" I was ready to throw my damn WII out the window!
I was doing it properly, no shaking etc... it saw 2 of my lunges then gave up... I had to turn off the game and put my Zumba in instead...
I tried moving my sensor yesterday cause it refuses to see me doing side ups .. so far I will have to give this game a F

Workout 1 min from complete and disc crashes
I just did 2 workouts in a row and the disc gave me an error right at the last cool down exercise that "disc cannot be read" out of nowhere.
My wii has never said that before on any game or this one before.
I'm really annoyed! I just did 2 30 min workouts and now it only counts one of them, and I have to redo the program workout.
Why can't I just finish the part I missed? Wasn't it updating the progress to the server?

Ps3 Usb receiver not connecting
My usb receiver cannot be detected by my ps3. I unplugged it and tried other devices in the same usb port and they work so I know it's not the usb port. I tried rebinding the total body tracking system and the usb receiver will not connect. Is anyone else having the same problem?|||I'm having this problem as well but with the Wii console. I've tried turning the console off and re-inserting the USB several times with no success. I'm in the queue with tech support now but seems to be a long wait. Also tried emailing but the screen never fully loads to allow you to type the email. Last, there's supposed to be tech support on line chat available...can't seem to find that either!!!! Very frustrating!!!!!|||RE: jonesy65
Make sure that when you try to sync your peripherals, it is when the game is running.
In any case, if the game simply isn't detecting the USB adapter, it may be damaged and need to be replaced, unfortunately.|||We have exactly the same problem, and I received the following fairly unhelpful response from the EA helpdesk:
"As per your concern, the question you submitted seems to be related to the mechanics of playing the game. Due to the high volume of contacts we receive, Customer Support is only able to assist with issues of a technical nature, such as error messages, game lock-ups, or game crashes. For suggestions on how to play or utilize features of our games, we recommend visiting the games message board forum"
Has anyone else experienced this and found a resolution? I don't want to have to send it back, especially if the replacement has the same problem....|||Fortunately, I was able to resolve my issue. Tech Support wasn't helpful for me either. However, the tech I spoke with was going to escalate my issue. I understand that's it's a new game and they hadn't received too many calls in order to have a ready solution. I chose to take the game back to the store for an exchange. If the replacement didn't work I would know there was a larger issue...it did work, seems to just have been a damaged USB receiver.|||Having this problem as well. I guess the USB Receiver is a piece of crap. I used mine the first day, left it plugged in and came back the next day and it was broken.|||I am also having problems with my USB - looks like a lot of people have defective USB.
EA Sports should definitely upgrade this problem!|||Make sure to plug in your USB receiver directly into your console, and not via a USB hub for best results.
For those who the USB worked for one day, but not the other please try these steps:
1) Try unplugging the USB receiver and re-inserting it again. Does the game recognise the USB receiver?
2) If this still doesn't work, please send me a private message and I'd like arrange a way to get our team to look at your USB receiver.
Thanks,

I have the same problem with my wii.
The game won't recognize the usb. We tried
A lot of things, but nothing works!
Please help, because I was not able to play
It since i've got it.

I moved the Wii away from my satellite receiver, pressed the Sync button a few times, and cleaned the USB connector

How many trips am I going to have to make in order to get this game to work??? I'm totally frustrated!! So much for new technology! Can't EA sports do a recall on all the USBs?? Car makers do it all the time!!!|||
It took four attempts to recognise the USB yesterday so rearranged my gear
Moved the Wii away from my satellite box, hi fi etc and it actually worked first time this morning.
I was wondering whether you are supposed to leave the USB receiver in all the time or not? Now it seems to be working I will leave well alone.
Have EA recognised any product problems with this - I am worried I may have a faulty receiver? I would rather get an exchange now than in a few months down the line.
