(Sticky please)

So I've setup a Long Beach State Teambuilder school. Why?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3b/Beach-Big.png/200px-Beach-Big.png
How cool is that?

Anyway, I used San Jose State's roster and swapped LBSU with the Spartans.

Didn't know that their opening game of the season is against Alabama. Methinks I might be changing that ...

Preseason All-WAC ... the following are the players not from Boise State:
HB V. Taua, Nevada
WR G. Salas, Hawaii
K K. Goessling, Fresno
P A. Shapiro, Fresno

Otherwise it's every starter from Boise. Oy.

OK, so I'm kinda doing a user-participation thing. I'm bringing back a dynasty team I used in NCAA '07/'09 on last-gen with Cumberland University (Tennessee) or another TB school, and I'd like to get some user-created TeamBuilder teams in the dynasty to fill up 8 other spots, since I'm doing this on more than one site, post me a link to your team with any base roster, and I'll include them in.

They're supposed to link to one of my Dynasty Wire stories on a Public dynasty, but a friend is saying they don't work. For me, they only work if I'm signed into the Online Dynasty site. But I wrote them, so they might be even further limited than that.

Would appreciate any feedback.

I dont have time to do the long dynasty threads so I thought I would start one where you can come in and update however you like.

I usually start my dynasty with multiple coaches, one with the team I am going to be and others who I may recruit for and play a couple games with. This year I just started with 2 coaches. My team would be ULL and the other was NMSU.

ULL is a fun team to build up my first year was difficult. The team was in transition from a spread no huddle team to a more pro style attack the first half of the season would be an failure at 2-4. the second half of the season would be more successful. ULL finished out the year at 6-6 with a suprising bowl bid. ULL would face a superior houston team and come home with a whipping in the bowl game.

Year two looked promising with a year to get used to the new style and a senior heavy team ULL looked to challenge for the Sun Belt. The season started off fast with 3 straight wins. In week 4 ULL had to travel to kansas state for a tough road game against a big 12 team. Nasty weather and a few timely turnovers would help ULL beat KSU by 3. The win was great but I lost my best player for 4 weeks in the game and losses to MTSU and Ark St would ruin any chance at the Conference Championship. ULL finishes 9-3 and another Bowl Bid vs Northwestern. This bowl game was closer but still ULL would come home defeated. ULL would go from a 1* team to an 2*

Year 3 would be a year to forget, 3-9 with not much to be happy about. After last year some very promising players would transfer in but all of them would have to sit out for a year. The increase in *'s also helps. I think there was 5 seniors on this very young team.

Year 4 was great, all of the transfers would be eligable to play, and the young guys have a year of play time under their hats. A tough non-conference schedule would keep ULL at 8-4 for the year but a Sun Belt championship would be ours. After 2 attempts at the bowl games ULL would finally win one and party like it was 1999. A motor city bowl win vs UTEP is the highlight of my coaches career so far. LOL.

Coach ULL would recieve offers from Wake Forrest, VT, Clemson in year 4 (after turning down NAVY, SMU, Houston) in previous years. Clemson was coming off their 2nd consecutive losing season and was rolling out the red carpet for Coach ULL (pride stickers, multiple uniforms, death valley, and that cool tiger roar when you score LOL) coach ULL chose to take the offer from Clemson. His time in Louisana was successful ULL would go from a 1* to a 3* with better recruits to go after and a team with a very well stocked pantry.

What's your recruiting experience been like, griffin? I haven't had a low-tier-team dynasty that I actually stuck with, so I don't have much to go on.

Recruiting as a 1* program on All-American is TOUGH. Playing as New Mexico State, I'm having a hard time getting even 1* players to commit. Of course, it doesn't help that I've been under .500 each of the first two years, but I've been starting with like seven players with me in their top ten, total. I've done pretty well getting into guys' top two or three, but it takes pretty much the whole season, and most of the time, some other team swoops in and steals the recruit right out from under me, which I actually think is pretty cool. Unfortunately, I've got something like 41 players on my roster, which isn't quite as cool. :(

The recruiting is very hard. ULL starts out as a 1* and that is pretty much the caliber of recruit that you can go for with a few 2* guys who may be interested. Forget anything above 2*. As my season progressed and I finished up 6-6 my first year with a bowl bid, more 2* guys were interested the next year. My second season I was 9-3 with another bowl bid and my team also went from a 1* to a 2* team so the next season there were about 5-6 3* recruits that had me on their list. What I noticed is that: if you are a 1* the highest recruit that will be interested is 2*. When I became a 2* team the highest recruit that I would see is 3* player with some interest. The best way to recruit with the lower teir teams is to stick to your pipeline and to guys that have you on their lists. Its very refreshing because in past NCAA games after 3-4 years I would have already won the NC with ULL

From what I see in my tryout dynasty with the no-edit rosters playing MTSU, I tried out the CC multiple times. Offers from TTU, WMU, NIU, Baylor and Maryland in 5 attempts, every attempt offered 2 or 3 deals out of those 5 and
every time a 2 or 3 year-deal. Sometimes TTU offered me a 2-year deal, sometimes a 3-year deal and sometimes no deal.

How are you guys handling recruiting? Personally, since its not one of my goals I'm allowing the CPU to handle it. I don't want to be bias towards one side of the ball. I am going in and setting Team Needs as 'High, Medium, or Low' in the Recruit Plan section. Giving the coach advice is what I like to call it.

What are some of the things you guys are doing?

morsdraconis
07-24-2011, 06:31 PM
Well, depending on the length of my contract, I've actually not been worrying about it in either of my ODs since I don't plan on sticking around in either of them after the first season.


Also, in my offline dynasty, I just saw first hand a major change in my Coach Prestige by switching jobs after the first season. Went from a C to a D+ because I jumped ship after one season.

Actually always the same with recruiting. No CPU influence and I always keep a small board of 10 people, based on needs first, then on interest and depth. It's one of many strategies, but it keeps things simple and organized and
I always make sure I give as many scholarships as roster spots after this season, so the roster doesn't exceed 70. You always have to cut anyways and time is mostly short if you scout on a big board, I think.
I have no trust in the CPU, I joined nevada as an OC and they had some of the needs open and an overload of DT's scouted. I'd rather do it myself, even if I know I'll be leaving.

It looks to me like I can only control one team in a dynasty, is this true? Am I missing something?Yes. It's not quite as straight forward as years past, but it's still there.


First up ... how to setup a multi-team offline dynasty ...

I've seen the question asked several times: Yes, you can still play as multiple teams in a single offline dynasty. However, there are a couple of things you'll need to know before diving in.

1. For Offline Dynasties, only your first coach can "Use Existing Coach". I do not see any way to switch additional coaches to user control. It may be there, but, if it is, it's not obvious. So you can either have 1 existing coach plus X new coaches, or X new coaches in a multi-team offline dynasty.

2. The initial setup will be like you're doing a single-team dynasty. You'll create (or choose to use existing) your first coach, then do any pre-dynasty steps like Custom Conferences or Importing Teambuilder schools, then proceed into dynasty. Once in dynasty you'll go to the new "Coach Central" category and choose the "Coach Info" option. That's where you can customize existing coaches, or add new ones.

3. Any newly created coaches, within Dynasty, are assumed to be user coaches. However, after creating the coach you can select them and choose "Make CPU Controlled".

4. Age and Specialty are not set during creation. You'll have to edit the coach after creation to change these.

5. Prestige and Job Security are not editable within dynasty. You'll be starting at D+ prestige.

not sure if this is the area for this, but it's dynasty related- mostly directed towards cpu stat tweaks/player progression. this list is taken from my 2015 :USC: offline dynasty. hopefully, this can be used to tweak some areas to help bring a little more balance to the game. my opinions will be in bold.


10 games into the season so far, my fullback (91 OVR) leads the nation with 56 pancake blocks. the next closest player in college has only 36. the next closest on my team only has 7. i frequently slide protect up, but why it only affects my FB, idk?

9 of the top 15 pancake blockers are right tackles (1 FB, 1 C, and 4 LT's are the rest). the first guard appears at #27 on the list. more balance is needed. one position shouldnt dominate the list

the top 4 WR's in receptions all have over 100 catches 10 games into their seasons. the #5 place WR has 65. why the sudden drop off?

the best rated player in 2015 is a punter (98 ovr). 8 of the top 13 are either punters or kickers. cant explain this. :dunno:

there are 12 players with 99 speed, 9 of which are WR's. more balance is needed. the other 3 players were RB, FS, and CB.

there are 10 players with 99 strength: 5 DT's, 4 RT's, and 1 RG this might contribute to why DT's are more dominant in the game than the DE's. Right tackles seem to get a lot of love in this game

there are 69 players with 99 awareness. 17 WR's have 99 catch ratings, 12 receivers have 99 route running ratings. way too many 99's across the board. imo, ratings should be lowered across the board, which would help distinguish the different levels of players (great from good, good from above average, etc).

there are 5 QB's with 99 throw accuracy, however, my qb is the only qb in the country completing more than 60% of his passes. (this with cpu qb accuracy on 35). the completion %'s of the 5 qb's with 99 accuracy are: 44.8%, 61.8% (my qb), 51.5%, ---, and 55.4%. one of the qb's is a redshirt freshman and isnt even the starter. this is completely retarded....probably mostly due to the qb accuracy slider at 35, but then why are these elite accuracy qb's not even close to being a leader in completion percentage?

the top 8 rated block shredders are either LOLB's or LE's. again, balance. might just be a freak thing though?

5 of the 9 players with 99 pursuit are FS's. other 4 were a DE, MLB, SS, and CB....again, balance is needed. imo, a mixture of all positions should be listed here.

of the top 8 rated players with the best play recognition rating, 6 are CB's....all are defensive backs. cant explain this. LB's and the d-line should get some love, LB's especially.

JeffHCross
04-28-2012, 02:22 PM
I've been bouncing around a few dynasty ideas ... might as well bring them here, see which one strikes interest.

#1: The "Resurrection Dynasty" thread I started over a year ago was supposed to be a Death-Penalty dynasty in NCAA 11. The idea still intrigues me. While I don't totally want to go back to NCAA 11, it probably would be good for me to ease back into playing football, and there are some things I wanted to learn in NCAA 11 that may carry over to NCAA 13.

#2: Head Coach 09 dynasty with Saints - I started to write a dynasty thread with the Saints in Head Coach 09, and then my free time dropped to nothing. So glad I didn't write up that thread. Anyway, I took the Saints with Sean Payton, started with the 2008 NFL Draft and had one of the best drafts I could ever imagine. Drew Brees has plenty of weapons, let's just put it that way.

#3: Head Coach 09 dynasty with Falcons - This is an idea that just hit me a couple days ago. The Falcons, with the Head Coach 09 preseason roster, have practically no QB (Chris Redman, 68 OVR), and huge cap room ($66M). They have a lot of solid WRs, but other than a few highly ranked players (John Abraham, Keith Brooking, K/P), they have a lot to re-build. Obviously in the 2008 draft they took Matt Ryan. No matter what path I choose, I wouldn't be picking up Matty Ice (though I'm a huge fan of his). I'd either be trying to survive Year 1 with a veteran QB (trading away practically all my draft picks) and then building a normal offense, or try one of the game's "college offenses" (i.e. Rich Rod Spread, Florida Spread, Wishbone) and build a completely different NFL team. Of course, the rub with NFL Head Coach 09 is that the computer is controlling the entire on-field play, so I'd be running an option using the CPU. It would be very interesting.

Anyway, thoughts?

I got in a game of NCAA 12 this morning. My CAL dynasty is going well. We are now in the year 2020. I played UCF today and I had a ridiculous 9 sacks. I looked up UCF's stats to see the ratings et al and as I expected, they had no TACKLES or GUARDS listed on the team (they also had 6 QB's and 9 WR's but that's another story). For those of you who had not played past five or so seasons, the depth chart/roster issues are just as severe if not worse than NCAA 11. This has to be fixed for 13.

Wait, no Tackles or Guards at all? Or just none on the depth chart?

They had no guards or tackles that I could see. I have ran into similar situations versus other teams but nothing to that extent. Centres, HB's, FB's TE's, Qb's etc. all were used to fill the positions. I just played another game versu Arizona and other than a few too many Qb's (six again) there were no major glaring issues.

I wonder if they just had a bunch of walk-ons. It shouldn't be possible to have 0 at a position that has a minimum.

i played arizona in my offline :USC: dynasty, and their #2 and #3 wr's were both quarterbacks. when i first saw the personnel on the playcall screen, i was like, "what the hell? 3 qb's?"

Sorry man, I meant to reply back when you first made the post but completely forgot to. I agree with steeler. Option #1, then Option #3 as a secondary pick.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more Option #1 interests me the most. I may still do Options #2 or #3, but not as an on-board Dynasty.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more Option #1 interests me the most. I may still do Options #2 or #3, but not as an on-board Dynasty.So, in the interest of a lack of time, Option #1 is definitely not happening. Only two months until NCAA 13 releases, and I'm not going to play nearly enough to do a decent death penalty dynasty in two months. And I'm pretty confident that 13 is going to be enjoyable enough that I will stop any 11 dynasty dead.

So, going back to the original reason I was revisiting the Resurrection Dynasty ... there are a couple things I want to work on in preparation for 13, and get myself back in the right frame of mind to play. So I'm just going to start a new dynasty, with the deck only slightly stacked against me, and go from there.

To that end, I'm planning to start a new Dynasty with Cincinnati in the Big Ten. I'll probably simulate Year 1 and get us to 2011, or go ahead to 2012. Cincinnati's pretty highly ranked with the default rosters on NCAA 11, so two years under CPU control should take them down a peg or two. Anyway, that's the plan, and I hope to begin the first weekend of June, so keep an eye out.

While not something regarding NCAA, I'm just gonna borrow this thread instead of clogging up my current dynasty thread with side talk.

With the death of the NCAA series and thus no longer any rush on my seasons, during the stretches when I'm not really feeling like NCAA games, or the week or two stretches between seasons in NCAA, I'm looking at firing up a Madden 25 franchise to run alongside my NCAA dynasty.

This is something that I'm not figuring on starting for a couple weeks, so it'll be a bit. I'm also still trying to decide what I want to do with it. If I fire it up as a coach or an owner, after doing some numbers work and eliminations, I had my team considerations whittled down to 5 teams: Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay. Essentially I was going for the sucky teams from the last 1-3 seasons.

Through some more numbers work, I cut the list down to three teams: Buffalo, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay. A little more numbers work, whittled it down to just Buffalo and Jacksonville. Technically, Jacksonville was the winner out of 100 head to head simulations (52-48), but I'm still keeping Buffalo in the running.

Now comes the decision to make regarding what I do. I could do a quick simulation through RTG to create a player and have him drafted, then transfer him over to Madden 25 and run from there as a player.

I could take over a current player. If I were to go that route, while I wouldn't mind playing for a team other than Denver, my top pick for current player would probably be Zac Dysert, third-string QB for Denver. He went to high school in Ada, Ohio (just an hour away from me, and I actually played against him my senior year in high school), so he's someone I'd probably enjoy playing as, "local boy" and all. As third-string, wouldn't be playing much in the early years (if at all), but he's also a rookie (as far as Madden 25 is concerned), so I'd have a whole bunch of years to grow his skills and either move up the chart in future seasons at Denver or hit the free agent market and sign somewhere else.

And whether I go as a NCAA '14 created RTG player moved to Madden or start as a current player, do I just do a player career or move onto a coaching career after I retire? Or, do I forgo playing entirely and just start off as a coach at Buffalo or Jacksonville?

So that's what I'm giving thought to right now. My NCAA dynasty will still be going, as long as NCAA '14 still loads up and plays in my 360, I'll continue my dynasty. Just giving thought to firing up a Madden dynasty to change things up when I'm between seasons in NCAA. NBA Live/2K is too long with an 82 game season, NHL is too long with an 82 game season, FIFA soccer wouldn't be too bad, with seasons only from 30-60 depending on whether I was in the MLS or Europe, but while I follow soccer, while I watch it regularly, my knowledge level is not on the same level as steeler's, so I by far would fail to do a FIFA dynasty justice with my posting about it. So Madden fits the bill with a relatively short season of just 16 games (20 max if you include all four rounds of the playoffs), so it would make it easier to get through seasons.

Like I said, it'll be a while. Only four games into my current NCAA season, I want to finish the current season before I even think about creating a thread or setting things up for a Madden franchise, so it could be March before I even give thought to setting anything up. Just putting my ideas down in post form so I can come back to them later, and if anyone wants to give any feedback as well, I'll take it into consideration when it comes to make the decision on what route I want to go. Another thing I have to decide, whether I go coach or player to start, is how in-depth I try to get. I'm not sure I'm going to go quite as in-depth in regards to play by play and everything else in games like I do currently with NCAA. NCAA games already take a good 3 hours to do between playing and typing everything up. I wouldn't mind shorting things up a little bit if I add Madden to the fray.
