So I made it through my first offseason. I'm still not sure how I feel about this feature...
My experience was that I started with Arkansas State (
) as the OC. I played through the first season and the team won 10 games and won the GoDaddy.com bowl vs. Temple. I surpassed almost all expectations as the OC. I had like 6x the amount of rushing yards required and 3x the amount of passing yards I believe. I believe I had a top 5 offense in the country.
In the offseason, I was a little disappointed by the carousel. I was expecting a screen that would dynamically show me who took what job and then move onto the next one. I used to play CH2k8 and if anyone else on here has played that this was what I was expecting from the carousel. Instead, when I selected "coaching carousel" it took me right to my job offers. In future versions, I would like to see it more like CH2k8 where you hit a button to advance through the next job, etc. That kind of builds up anticipation as to when you get your job offer.
The second point I have in regards to the offseason is that I was offered the Pitt OC job. I thought this was a little early. I guess maybe because Pitt (
) is only a 3* prestige school I had a better chance at getting to my destination early than some of the other people who will have 6* prestige jobs as their alma mater. I just hope that this game is different than in years past that it actually takes you a while to get to where you want to be. My other offer was the HC job at San Jose State (
) which I didn't even want to throw my name into the hat for because their roster didn't fit my offense. I guess it would have been interesting to see if I would have gotten that job because I had other candidates with better credentials competing for it.
The third thing I want to note is that
my coach prestige has not increased from D+ yet despite having a great offensive season. I don't know if maybe it increases when the new season begins or not.
