Q: Weird game center problem

Both my sons have an iphone for ga mes only and share an ipad.  They both have their own apple id's and game center accounts.  They play clash of clans on both phones and sign out on the ipad when the other wants to play.  After one of them finished he logged out of game center and gave it to his brother who signed in and played no problem while the other played on his phone.  the next time they switched, one signed out and the other could no longer sign into game center on the ipad.  It keeps wanting him to create an account as though he doesn't have one when he puts in the apple id and password, but he can still play on his iphone without an issue.  I've tried several different ipads and iphones to no avail, it keeps saying create account.  However when I've tried to use the same "nickname" it say's of course that it's already in use, I assume because he has an account and can still sign into itunes etc just not game center... lol!  My other son has no problem logging in on his phone or the ipad or any other iphone or ipad.  I hope explains the issue a little.  I appreciate any and all help.  I've also tried restoring the ipad to factory settings with no results either.  I'm at loss, Help!

 

Thanks for any advice.
