View Full Version : gschwendt's Recruiting Only OD (PS3)

One of the things I've always enjoyed in NCAA Football is building a team up through recruiting. In the past, I've always had a Dynasty that I would recruit and then just sim every game. With the added nuances to recruiting & scouting, I've got the itch again. So with that in mind, I've decided to start a secondary Online Dynasty and it will be nothing but recruiting. No users will play any games, except POSSIBLY bowl games. It will have a 24 hour deadline for every week... if you don't get your recruiting in, too bad. If everyone gets it in early, we advance early. Coaching Carousel will be on and there will be no restrictions on what jobs you can take. If Saban retires after year 1 and you're offered his position, you can take it.

I had originally thought I would do this solo but I've decided to open it up for others to join in. However, I'll stress again, 24 hour deadlines are firm. If you miss several weeks without recruiting at all and no reason given, I'll boot you. If you play your game, I'll boot you (that includes super sim from the web or simming from the schedule on the console).

For anyone interested in joining, just reply to this thread. Those that I already know I can rely on will have first dibs. Anyone else can be given a chance, but I will be a hard-ass about this OD. No one can join mid-season... only after each season's coaching carousel and only taking a job equal to the lowest user-controlled position.

Deadline to express interest is by Sunday night at 7pm CT. I'll send out invites by Sunday night, then advance to Week 1 by Monday night at 7pm CT or when everyone completes their preseason, whichever comes first.

Here are some more details:
Recruiting Difficulty: Heisman
Coaching Contracts: On
Starting Job: 1-Star Coordinator (only teams in the table below)
Created Coaches Only
No Custom Conferences except to follow real-world moves.

Let me know any thoughts or questions. I promise, while I'll be a hard-ass about it, this will be fun for anyone that loves the recruiting aspects of the game.

Looks like we'll likely have a spot but again, first dibs go to known commodities. Nothing against you at all, just want to make sure I get a group of guys that can hopefully stick it out from the beginning to end so that we can see where everyone lands when everything is all said & done. That said, if we don't have a full 12 by Sunday afternoon, you'll have a spot.

The only thing I'm decent at is defense and Escobar's (Tulsa) offense tore me a new one. I need to play him some more so I can get better.

Btw...what day/time is good for you?

Looks like we've got 12. jimbob, since you were gracious in your response, you've got the last spot and UAB is yours.

I'll send out invites this morning and everyone will have until Monday night at 7pm CT to complete the preseason. I'll likely be creating a new section for this OD but probably not until next week.

Everyone should now have an invite. I'll have limited availability over the weekend so everyone should check for their invite and let me know if they didn't get it for some reason as soon as possible, that way I have a chance to see it before Sunday night.

Yeah, but that's a lot of work. Plus, it's too late now anyway. Maybe if someone drops out after the first season I'll jump in.

Actually once you're in the OD you should be able to edit your coach philosophy. However in simmed games, I think it looks at playbook style plus your coach sliders to sim the games... Not certain about that though.

I'll check but if I can't add my playbook to my coach, it's not a big deal since we aren't really playing the games.

I would LOVE to be in this league. Cool Idea! I do the same thing every year.

I'm currently the commish of my own 12-team OD. I'm a dedicated player. I would always be able to meet the 24-hour deadline. I'm sure this is full, but I want on the waiting list. I would LOVE to be in this OD.

Guys I'm starting something very similar. I just love this idea. So why wait? Since this is full drop me your psn and tell me what team and position (oc/dc) you want. Not trying to steal guys from this league at all. But if you're on the waiting list here like me, let's start one too and get going.
