Hi,
First post. I am a longtime DOA fan, but I am late to the party in terms of DOA4 and 5. I was given a 360 a couple of years ago and have only played it offline. DOA4 is an offline game, so it works fine.
I recently bought DOA5 Ultimate. I first played it offline, but it pushed me to connect online. I had created an XBL account, but never used it.
Once I connected to my XBL account, the game then became unplayable. It gives me some crap about my "family settings" preventing me from playing the game. I contacted MS Xbox support and the rep was of no help. She had me even create a brand new account, made sure the date of birth was entered properly, and I then downloaded that new account to my Xbox. It still gives me the same error message about family settings.
But the thing is, content controls are already off.
So in my predicament, the game is completely blocked from me.
This is what I get for not sticking to retro, offline consoles, I guess. This sucks.
I reformatted my HD using this tutorial and it didn't help the situation.
The only "family settings" to be altered on the xbl homepage is talking about family associations and such. I wonder if maybe XBL settings have changed since this game was created and it's now impossible to play the game with a recently-created account?
I am not interested in playing the game online with others, but I do want to download costumes, etc.
Is it possible that I just have to download all updates for this game to work?
All I have found doing a search for anyone else in my situation was this:
This talks about needing to have a Gold Pass just to play this game. This can't be right. I don't want to play the game online!
Anyone, please help!

For Dead or Alive 5 on the Xbox 360, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Doa 5 won't let me play live!".

This talks about needing to have a Gold Pass just to play this game. This can't be right. I don't want to play the game online!
