Seems like we've been talking about NCAA 12 and what teams we would pick, etc, in a lot of different places and threads. Figured it was time to make one primary thread where we can talk about that stuff, rather than having it spread all over.

So we have the SEC represented with:
Papa-Arkansas
RCSinger-Bama


Anyone else have a conference preference? I'm flexible, but not fully committed to a team yet.

Like I said in the other thread I'm really up in the air, but if I had to put some choices on the table it would be

USC
Florida
Penn State
Nebraska

I'm willing to move to any conference and battle with any team.

That'd be sick, I could see myself being very interested in joining teh SEC Power conference.

FSU-Prime
BAMA-RC
ARK-PAPA
FLA-E

Boy I could see an LSU, AUB, Geo, teams shaping up. Stinks though because we just had an all SEC super conference but I'd still be game for another one. 12 members all in 1 conference, bring in any team you want hahaha

Only downside to keep in mind about throwing everyone in the SEC is that if someone quits, the new guy may not want to play at the only SEC school not taken. That kinda sucks.

Papa LoneStar
04-13-2011, 06:37 AM
I'm sure it will get balanced out similiar to NCAA 10....I remember starting out with Kingpin at LSU....when finals came....cartman left Kentucky to take LSU....then when cartman quit....Snoop left Ole Miss to take LSU....but that was with 6-8 people in the league. Maybe 6 in the SEC....and 6 in the Big 10 or Pac 10....let everybody play with who they want....and break it up east/west or north/south with custom conferences.

I'm an army brat that was born in Fort Worth, TX. My Dad was born and raised in North Little Rock, AR....similiar to states like Alabama, Ohio, Louisiana (until Saints got good)....The Razorbacks ARE the pro team (unless your name is Tommy G). The 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers got me into college football. Jumped on the bandwagon Longhorns in '96 after the Big XII title game. Started getting pissed when Texas lost in 2000....started being EVERYTHING Longhorns in 2002 (T.J. Ford stepped on campus). Like Oneback said....from 11-18 years old....I was a bandwagon fan of Nebraska football, UNC basketball, Magic/Lakers (Shaq). Now I'm strictly Longhorns, Cowboys, Mavericks, and Rangers.

Well, yesterday was my birthday and it's followed by Friday the 13th.

Today I went home to play some NCAA 11 or GTA4 and my PS3 YLOD'd. I did a disk trick to get NCAA 11 out and the console actually booted up and died about 10 seconds later and it made an odd grinding sound like shit was really hitting the fan this time.

So when PSN comes back up, I'm out obviously and I'm not sure what my console plans are at this point. My PS3 could work tomorrow, but I can't really trust it since it hasn't been on more than once now and I'm pretty sure it's done for.

I'm not sure if I'll buy a new console in time for NCAA 12 or not. It depends.

RcSinger
05-20-2011, 05:05 PM
Throwing in a comment from discussion on page 1. The SEC Super conference would be cool, but it would drag the advances down severely. Having 6 user games to be scheduled every week would be a headache. Also those of us with slightly less talent would never make a CCG or big bowl.

JeffHCross

ryby6969
05-23-2011, 01:46 PM
The question about that is how many conferences are we going to use? If we all go to one conference, we will play so many user games it would be almost pointless since you control the whole team.

RcSinger

In this year's version you can choose to be a OC or DC and work your way to a head coaching job. You only control your side of the ball though.

psuexv
05-23-2011, 02:30 PM
Now that information has been released for dynasty. What are everyones thoughts on starting off as a coordinator? What level whould everyone like to start at?

I think we would have to set some rules before a decision could be made. For example can you jump ship as soon as you have a job offer? Especially if we do lower level teams it would kind of suck if someone got hired within the 1st 2 years as a HC at a major program but everyone else was still at a midtier, I know JB just gave an example of how it took him 6 years to get a HC job at a major school.

Also agree with Ryby that if we do a super conference then the coordinator thing is kind of moot since you play both sides against users.

RcSinger
05-23-2011, 02:35 PM
Wouldn't that get monotonous though if you choose OC and you play against a grind it out team that makes long drives that your AI counterpart DC cannot stop?

As an OC you will play as your team when you have the ball, however when your team is on defense the game will supersim until the next change of possession.

gschwendt
05-23-2011, 03:16 PM

To be clear, you do have the option of watching while the defense is on the field, however you don't have any control over what they do.

Depends, let's say you are an OC and Papa is a DC, when you two play you can "play the game" when you are on offense and Papa on defense, when you are on defense and Papa is on offense it would turn into coach mode rules where you can either choose the play and let the CPU run it or choose the play based on the "Ask Corso" feature.

fsuprime
05-23-2011, 03:23 PM
i might want to play around with it some when the game is released to see how fun or not fun it is to be a DC (seems like if your team stinks it could be shaky since i would guess your progress as DC is based on statistics)...

I wouldn't mind doing 2 ODs either, one like regular and one with a OC/DC at a mid major or something like that either.

Kingpin32
05-23-2011, 03:26 PM
Would there be a required number of OC/DC?

fsuprime
05-23-2011, 03:35 PM
actually reading about this stuff, starting at a crappy school as a coordinator might be really fun and give a fresh take on how we do the OD...the 6* prestige teams we end up at (in like year 7 maybe or something) would sort of be chosen by us but also be an accomplishment as well...of course i will nerdrage on anyone who goes to FSU :)

ryby6969

I am down for whatever I guess. The problem with starting at lower level schools is if it takes 5-6 years to land a HC position at a "Powerhouse" school, next years game will almost be out and you would not really get to move up.

If anything it only strengthens the fact of a superconference. You mother really must have feed your ego as a kid :DHa, far from it.

It doesn't really guarantee anything. The flexibility of the custom conference system allows us to modify everything, practically on the fly. That eliminates a lot of the problems we've had with picking conferences in the past.

My initial thought was starting with a 3-star team.

psusnoop
05-23-2011, 08:24 PM
I'm on board with this, and as Oneback just said about starting as a 3star team he can actually as the commish put a cap on the highest allowed rating of a team we can choose from. I wouldn't mind starting up and seeing how far I can get.

psusnoop
05-23-2011, 08:27 PM
The rules are going to have to be clear though, like when is the allowable jump to a head coach or how big of a jump. I mean if FSU comes knocking that first season can I take them just to get under Prime's skin a little? Hahah

All kidding aside I'm going to be running an online dynasty again this year but I have no clue yet how or what we should do with it. I'm going to wait and see how this and SBCOL chooses to go and make a decision from there.

ryby6969
05-23-2011, 09:18 PM
As I said, I am willing to try whatever. It is definitely not my first choice, but I will go with the majority.

JeffHCross
05-23-2011, 09:21 PM
I think, no matter what we "choose", we should plan on having people run a handful of test offline dynasties, just to get an idea for how the progression from position to position will work over time. For example, does a 3* OC get a 1* HC position? If so, that would pretty much ruin any chances of us getting a "Powerhouse" coaching position before NCAA 13 releases.

Escobar
05-23-2011, 09:25 PM
I don't know if I would like only being a coordinator in an online dynasty, because I have very specific systems I run on offense and defense especially with the types of players and plays I use. I know the CPU would have no chance at running them the way I do.

ryby6969
05-23-2011, 09:29 PM
The main problem I have with having to jump to 3 or more "jobs" is the fact you lose any connection to a team. To me, that is a big part of OD's. Building rivalries on and off the field just adds that much more. If someone beats me out for a stud freshman and I know I have to play them every year, it adds something to the experience for me. The competing for off season awards and what not, it all is stuff you cannot get going against the CPU in offline dynasty. Again though, I am willing to try out whatever the majority decides.

RcSinger
05-23-2011, 10:11 PM
I'm indifferent, I think it might be cool but it might suck depending on how the CPU plays the "other" side of the ball. I think this feature would have been much better if there was an option to be HC and hire/fire assistants and receive a ratings boost in a particular category based on the assistants strengths. Having the ability to lose your OC because you play against his strengths and being able to steal each others assistants if they are unhappy.

Ok sorry for poking some fun Jeff, anyways

Are our 'in the know' members not comfortable yet posting what they would like to do with our OD in ncaa 12 due to the NDA?

The more I think about it, the more I would not mind ever using FSU in this OD...I can run an offline OD just for myself or a 2 player OD with my buddy.

I would love to work my way up as a coordinator, maybe landing at Michigan State for a while and then after 5 years or something maybe save FSU or some other program with good prestige that has fallen on hard times...

Oneback
06-01-2011, 07:53 PM
I like the idea of starting as a coordinatior, I think the question becomes at what level do we start off at?

JeffHCross
06-01-2011, 08:03 PM
OB, I think we need to run some test dynasties to see where we could start and get a "good" job in a recent period of time. We'd want to make sure that it won't take a Papa level of success to get a good job, nor would we want to get 6* jobs within a year.

fsuprime
06-01-2011, 08:22 PM
I would take a guess that you have to start as coordinator at a 3 or 4* school to get to a decent end goal in 5 seasons? We should be able to nail this down in offline simulations, hopefully that whole EA pass thing will let us get started with it a bit early.

Papa LoneStar

I am torn on which side of the ball I would want to be on. I need to play around on defense more to see what I can cook up....I spent the community days trying to make sure what was there worked. On offense however, I really like some of the things I would be able to do.

psusnoop
06-02-2011, 05:57 PM
I'm with Papa and would be down with whatever.

I also will probably be looking towards the defensive side of the ball as well.

I'm going to wait and see what we decide on this dynasty and do something a tad different with mine for 2012. I want to give people options and such on what they would like to do and if they want a mix then everyone will get that chance to do both if thy would like. We just have lots of options and ways we could go with this that I'm really pumped for NCAA12!

On last gen, me and my buddy use to swap the controller back and forth during games. I played defense and he Played offense. It was pretty fun. I just thought it was a possibility and would have it's good and bad if it actually happened.

JeffHCross
06-04-2011, 04:27 PM
Would there ever be a time where one of us who is an OC end up getting a job offer from a school where another of us is a DC?I think they put safeguards in place to prevent that. Even if so, I think we can all agree to not accept that offer in that case. Unlike the current Coach Contract system, if you're a decent candidate you shouldn't be hurting for offers ... I would expect that once we start generating offers, we'll see at least a few each season.

Since they've announced that User vs User games will be played with the user having control over both sides of the ball, I don't think there'd be any way for two users to be in control of one team.

Kingpin32

If I can join the OD without a system I can still get games in online. I'll just pay the 2.99 to sim online.

RcSinger
06-05-2011, 01:12 PM
CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS!!!

Finally, we can again decide what to include and what to exclude from our playbooks. For the last several releases I have had trouble finding the plays I wanted because there are so many and so many duplicates in the same and other formations. Now we will be able to set the playbook up the way we want it to be. Include the sets we want and get rid of the ones we don't use.

If Zone Defense plays as well as they indicate it will, many pass heavy users might have to start running the ball more rather than just pass the ball all over the field scoring 60 points a game. I like what I am seeing so far with 2012.

hey jeff/g/oneback i forgot to ask a few weeks ago but did you (can you) talk about how sliders affect the OD this year? is it the same old same old or can you actually tweak some stuff for UvU?
I'm fairly certain that sliders won't effect UvU. Honestly though, with the current slider setup we have, I don't think I would want them to. I think what I would want to see is sliders for U vs CPU and UvU games separately... that way you can tweak them as needed without worrying about handicapping the other game too much.

Has there been any thought of running 2 dynasties this year? One starting as coordinators at lower level schools, and another as a traditional "Powerhouse" dynasty?

for sure G, guess i didn't think it that far through, that would be an amazing addition for next season. Being able to set Heisman for CPU games with sliders and then whatever you want for UvU (or whatever difficulty you like for CPU games).

This is something that I would love to see as well. This would be a huge thing for 2013 if we could get it in there. Maybe wishlist tourney?

I know you were, and if you wanted to I'd be willing to switch commissioner over to you or anyone else who wants to continue if I choose to bow out. I want to at least get into Week 1 or so next season so I can get a feel for one recruit in particular.

Nice love the interest!

I'm going to be running one from the mid tier as well just have to hash some things out and I'll post tonight about it. Last year we started real late and I just wanted a mix between Powerhouse and SBCOL and I'm going to try it again. I know a few played in all 3 and it was fun and I'm hoping to gain more momentum with NCAA 12

Oneback

I believe the discussion for NCAA 12 will probably start ramping up a little in the coming weeks. Much like the NFL lockout there hasn't been a big push to start firming things up...we've spent a lot of time talking about what we'd like to do.

I think we are leaning towards starting out as coordinators, but we haven't nailed down what level at which to start.

I am wiating to get the game in my hands before we start breaking down what we are going to do. I'd like everyone to start off on an even foot if we plan on going the coordinator route. Once I get the game in hand I'll have a better feel for the ratings of all the teams and can come up with a plan.

The expectation is that the people that were with us for NCAA 11 will be invited back, though I don't think anyone's taken a roll-call for NCAA 12. We currently have 11 members in the OD at present, with Oneback being the only one to leave ;)

Right now, I'm leaning towards not returning for NCAA 12, but I'm waiting to see what Oneback is planning first before making my final decision.

ugh if he is leaving for traditionfootball 'elite' OD that stinksIf I do leave for another OD, then there's not any in particular I'm planning to leave towards. I know (and get along with) the guy in charge of Tradition Sports, but I don't think I'm ready for the insanity of one of their ODs.

The simplest explanation is that I know Coaching Carousel is going to be a big change for Online Dynasty. And I'm not sure if I want to subject myself to the "rules" of an OD, whether this one or any other, or if I want to go my own route, or if I want to just play offline for a year. It occurred to me in the last few months that I haven't played a dedicated offline dynasty since Online Dynasty was created. I'm not sure if that sits well with me.

tradition football is fine, i wasn't taking a real shot at them : )i was in a few over there (they all have way more rules then we do :p) but the ones I was in never seem to have players stick to the rules.

I can see your hesitation jeff, I'd rather have you in than mess around with it in this OD, good chance we do something with coordinators in Gs OD and if not I can mess around with it OFFline. I guess discussions will get more serious soon enough.

The demo looks pretty cool but there is still warping and the defensive linemen still fall down WAY too easy. Special teams returns are much more fun as you can actually return some and punt returns are MUCH better
