TGT Coach Mode OD (360)

[SmoothPancakes]

Guess I was going off his front page.

I was too, as recently as this morning. Then I decided to do some digging around in the forum there after there hadn't been an update on number of conferences/teams remaining for a couple days now. That was when I found that thread.

[Coach Kernzy]

We have started everyone. You should all have an XBL invite. I will PM the password if it wasn't included in the invite, not sure how that works.
I used the Patrick Morty rosters with coach names since FKs aren't out yet and they won't even have coach names in them.
If someone completely and totally opposes we can wait but there is no ETA on the next version of FKs rosters which will include coach names and I didn't figure any of us wanted to wait any longer.
Let's go.

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, if you guys are willing to wait for a few hours after FK releases his, I'm going to be going through and doing all the coach names myself. I want coach names for my personal dynasties, so as soon as FK's hits Xbox Live, I'm going to work on the coaches. I dug out my chatpad for my 360 controller, so I'll be able to enter a lot faster than by stick and button.

I just got home from work and was going to jump right back into my Road to Glory career, but I'm putting that off for the rosters. Coach names are going to be the ONLY thing I focus on from the time FK releases his rosters until I am done. Depending on when he releases them, I can say with fair confidence that I'll be done with coaches before 12 noon EST today.

Edit - I'm also going to set the correct Alma Maters on all head coaches. Quite a few are going to have "Alma Maters" at schools where they first coached at since their true Alma Mater was a school that isn't DI-A/FBS, and those are the only schools you can choose from in the game, but I tried to get the spreadsheet as realistically accurate as possible.

Offensive and Defense Coodinators, I'm only going to name. It would literally take at minimum a day, probably two, maybe even three days, of just plain searching the internet for profiles, real life Alma Maters, and coaching careers for all of the OCs and DCs, and then having to go through and set all the correct Alma Maters for them in game. I'm not going to do all that (especially since I want to have this coaching roster done today), so I'm just simply naming the OC and DC coaches, and whatever Alma Mater they have in game currently, will be the one they keep.

[Archedemius]

Just got up.... so we have started? Good! Let it all begin! So we are using a different roster?

[SmoothPancakes]

Just got up.... so we have started? Good! Let it all begin! So we are using a different roster?

It sounds like it. I've never heard of this Patrick Morty guy, so I'm personally not trusting of his rosters.

Plus, looking through the coaches on that Morty guy's rosters, they are horrible. Take Mississippi State for example. Dan Mullen is the coach. This Patrick Morty guy has him named Dan Mullel, and he has Mullen's Alma Mater as UConn. Mullen went to a D3 school in Pennsylvania, and has never in his entire career ever coached at a school, on any level of football, in Connecticut. Same with George O'Leary. He has O'Leary's Alma Mater as being Oregon State, a school O'Leary has never had any association with, plus he spelled George's name 'O leary'.

His player rosters might be alright, but the coaches, names mispelled, apparently just completely random Alma Maters instead of going with their true Alma Mater, or at least making their Alma Mater as school they actually once coached at, etc. Minor things I suppose, but it's stuff that just annoys me when it comes to names. I personally do not care one bit for this guy's rosters.

I still would rather prefer waiting for FK's rosters. Wait for FK's rosters, then give me a couple hours to go and do the coaches myself, including making sure every Head Coach has the correct Alma Mater, or for those who went to non-FBS schools, have their Alma Maters set to school they actually have had an association with at some point in their life. Even going that route, we'd still be able to get this thing started today regardless.

So I say lets do it right and use rosters from one of the most trusted roster makers on the internet instead of this random guy's rosters that ended up being some rushed attempt just so he could become popular for a couple weeks by having named rosters first.

[Coach Kernzy]

Alright, flag thrown on the play, "False start, Coach Kernzy"

I'll delete that OD and wait till FKs rosters are out and Smooth does the coaches.

[Archedemius]

Ugh...

[SmoothPancakes]

Alright, flag thrown on the play, "False start, Coach Kernzy"

I'll delete that OD and wait till FKs rosters are out and Smooth does the coaches.

:D Nice analogy. Yeah, I know we all want to get started, but just a bunch of mistakes like that are things that really stand out to me and bother me. I'd rather go with the rosters that are done right. As soon as FK releases his rosters, I am instantly jumping into the coaches to start renaming them, and that is going to be the only thing I'm going to do until I'm done. I'm not even going to take a break to browse new posts on here for a couple minutes or something. It's just full speed ahead on the coaches until it's done.

Thankfully 4-5 hours ago, after I got home from work, I took the HC, OC, and DC names from Solidice's Team Info spreadsheet, put them into my own spreadsheet in Excel, and then went through and mapped out every single Alma Mater for all 120 Head Coaches, so I have one spreadsheet already completely ready to go with everything I need to name all the coaches and instantly put the correct Alma Maters down for the HCs, so this will go pretty much as fast as I can type the names out on my controller chatpad and save them.

[Coach Kernzy]

Sounds good, now if FK would just get done...

[SmoothPancakes]

Sounds good, now if FK would just get done...

It's only a matter of time now. ODogg replied to a post of mine on the forums over on FK's website. He said FK had gone ahead and taken a quick 2 hour nap at some point overnight, but by 6:30am (three hours ago) he was already awake and back to working on rosters. As of that post three hours ago, FK had only the MAC left to complete. So it could be anywhere from a matter of minutes, to maybe an hour or two remaining before he's done. But we are inside the 5 yard line for getting completed rosters.

[Archedemius]

......Well... I guess I'm glad I didn't go too far into recruiting. I probably won't get as many 3-stars interested in me in the "do-over." DAMN! haha

[SmoothPancakes]

:D Sorry Archedemius. If you get screwed over by the recruiting in the "do-over", you can go ahead and blame me for it. :blush:

[Coach Kernzy]

I applaud Smooth for being the voice of reason here. It was 2:30 I was barely awake and my lack of brain function got the best of me, I just wanted to get started and with FK not doing coaches I figured no one would want to wait much longer but with Smooth jumping on it to get the coaches done today we should be good to go tonight. As soon as I get home at about 5:30 Central I'll download the roster from Smooth since I'm sure he'll be done and then get started creating the dynasty, for real this time. :P

[Archedemius]

Not a big deal.

[SmoothPancakes]

Oh yeah, I'll absolutely be done by 5:30 Central, 6:30 my time. Depending on how soon FK gets his rosters up online in the EA Locker, I still am hoping to possibly make my "estimated completion time" of 12 noon Eastern. Depending on how much longer FK needs to complete the rosters, I'm basically putting a hard deadline on myself to be done with coaches by 3pm Eastern at the absolute latest.

Also, for anyone who wants to use those rosters when I am done, I'll make sure to post in here when I am done, and you'll be able to download them from my EA Locker, GT: Smooth Pancakes if you don't already have me as a friend, and you will be able to use them in your personal dynasties right away instead of waiting for FK's second edition of rosters, probably not until sometime next week, that would then include his edits to coaches.

[Archedemius]

Excellent!

[morsdraconis]

Just a fyi, I wouldn't go with 55 for Roughing the Passer penalties. They get called WAY too often, in my opinion. One and a half games played with it at 55, and I probably saw it get called 6 or 8 times. 54 is definitely the place to be for that since 55 causes them to be called far to often (especially against the CPU).

[morsdraconis]

As for the sliders against competition, expect to get fuckin' slaughtered by the big boys. I played against Duke with my shitty Teambuilder team and got annihilated 75-3 (granted, it was 48-3 around the beginning of the 3rd quarter and I got tired of getting stomped on so I just simmed the rest of the game). Duke is something like B+ overall or so (my TB team is D+ or so if I remember correctly with my highest rated player being a 68 or 69 overall) and their ground game was basically unstoppable. If I guessed incorrectly on what their play was (expecting pass instead of run), it was 10+ yards on the ground for their RB pretty much every time.

It was like me taking a decent team and stomping the hell out of a FCS team. It was GREAT. It's exactly how it should be and, while it sucked to play against Duke and was frustrating as all hell to get killed by them, it was VERY refreshing. If I would have played that game without Coach Mode, I probably would have kept it close, maybe even have won it, but not with Coach Mode. It was WONDERFUL. I'm even more excited to play in this dynasty now!

[HawkFan]

Sounds great guys, cant wait to get going with this. I work tonight til 1am but will accept my invite when I get home and be ready to advance soon.

[Coach Kernzy]

10-4, we'll put it 54, I noticed the same thing last night and I put it to 54.

[SmoothPancakes]

Alright fellas, looks like it's gonna be a little bit yet. They just updated the front page of FK's website to show 112 teams done. They updated it to show 111 teams done 55 minutes ago. So we're looking at maybe 6-7 hours at the current rate before FK is done.

In the mean time, since FK is clearly not going to be finished within the next hour or two, I'm going to lay down for a little bit. I've been awake since 8pm last night, and am starting to get pretty tired. I'll check back in in a couple hours and see how FK is progressing, but in the mean time, I'm going to catch a couple zzzzz's while I still can.

See you all in a couple hours.

[Archedemius]

118 and counting! ;alkdjfadkfjdkfj must recruit!

[JBHuskers]

Turning in for the night, will accept in the afternoon sometime.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, I'm up at work for the next 6 1/2 hours for my morning show, so it won't be until 10am eastern, at the absolute earliest, before I'll even have a chance to accept.

[Archedemius]

Getting on to accept! 1015 eastern.

[Underdog]

Got a quck question....I have accepted the invite and did my recruiting tec....It seems like there was a way to save your online dynasty and use it as a offline dynasty in previous years games. Is that not available this year? If it is , I cannot figure out how to do it.

[HawkFan]

I will be on in a while to accept and get ready for the season. Looking at it the first time Coach K set up the dynasty I am not sure what to do with New Mexico, if I take the head coach job I am only given a one year contract and start with one of the lowest approval ratings in the game, which in itself would be a challenge. But then again I definitely do not want to get fired and get a new job after one year. What do you guys think?

[Coach Kernzy]

You'll be fine, if you get fired you'll probably get a better job.
I only got a 1 yr contract as well and I'm sure several other did, it's just a random deal.
No worries man.

[HawkFan]

okay, sounds good. Gonna get me that extension.

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, there's a bunch of other teams still left over that no one has selected. I personally wouldn't have a problem with you switching teams if you wanted to go with someone else.

New Mexico definitely would be pretty much a dead man's land. They already suck bad enough as it is talent-wise, like you said, you start off with one of the lowest approval ratings in the game, making getting fired very likely. And their schedule. Yikes. Arkansas, Texas Tech, Nevada, TCU, Air Force and Boise State. That's 6 losses alone right there, with UNLV, San Diego State and Colorado State other tough games on their schedule.

For anyone playing as New Mexico, I'd probably put their odds of getting fired after the first season at 2:1.

Edit - Nevermind, I see everything has been worked out.

[JBHuskers]

You're guaranteed a job if you get fired. It may be waterboy of Akron, but you'll have a job regardless :)

[JBHuskers]

I'm doing some OT here at work, get off around 3:30 central, so I'll accept the invite and do preseason stuff when I get back home.

[Archedemius]

I got a 3 yr contract. Is that possible?

[JBHuskers]

I got a 3 yr contract. Is that possible?

Yep....goes from 1 to 7.

[SmoothPancakes]

Good lord, this is going to be just plain a rivalry all around between myself and natcret. :D We're coaches, and rivals, at Florida Atlantic and Florida International. We're battling each other to be the first to Navy. And looking at all of the recruits I just put on my recruiting board, there are 12 recruits in which FAU and FIU are both in the top 3 of that recruit's top schools.

5 players have FIU in first and FAU in second. Three players have FAU first and FIU second. One player has FIU second and FAU third. Two players have FAU first and FIU third. And one player has FAU second and FIU third.

This is going to be very interesting on the recruiting side of this OD. :D

[JBHuskers]

...meanwhile I'll be on the other side of the country getting my face beat in :D

[SmoothPancakes]

What the hell? Slight issue here. For some reason, the game made me Offensive Coordinator for Florida International, instead of the Head Coach.

[SmoothPancakes]

Now I'm really confused. My contract/goal details says "Offensive Coordinator Contract Details" at the top, and the coach rankings show me as the OC with Mario Cristobal still HC for FIU. But yet in the same contract/goals screen, FIU is telling me "Congratulations on being appointed the new head coach at FIU."

[JBHuskers]

Yeah that's an error. Does it for all coordinator jobs tell you that you're the head coach.

[JBHuskers]

Were the settings set up to allow to choose head coach?

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah that's an error. Does it for all coordinator jobs tell you that you're the head coach.

I had a feeling that was probably the case. But regardless, I thought we were going with the settings allowing only head coaches? So how the heck did I end up as the OC (according to pretty much every coach related ranking in the OD files) instead of the HC of FIU?

Something tells me I'm going to have to retire my coach and have Coach Kernzy re-invite me in.

[JBHuskers]

Something tells me I'm going to have to retire my coach and have Coach Kernzy re-invite me in.

Not sure, but I am guessing that is what will have to be done. I know there is a typo though saying you're head coach when you accept a coordinator position.

[JBHuskers]

I'll be home in about an hour, so I'll accept my invite and see what happens.

[Archedemius]

So, I noticed the button that says "ready and waiting on commissioner." It always says I'm ready, and I was wondering if there was a way to tell the commish that I'm not ready to move on to next week.

[Coach Kernzy]

Smooth, I'm out now but will reinvite when I return home.

I did set things to force head coach jobs but maybe that didn't work or doesn't work knowing EA :)

Sounds good. I'm retiring my coach from the OD right now so it'll be all set when you return home.

[morsdraconis]

Well, it appeared to work just fine for me (going to dumb check here in a minute to make sure).

[Underdog]

It gave me the option to pick OC DC or HC when I joined the league. I picked HC.

[HawkFan]

It gave me the option to pick OC DC or HC when I joined the league. I picked HC.

Same here, New Mexico is ready to go.

[Coach Kernzy]

Re-sent your invite Smooth

[ciscokid89]

coach how do u go 2 coach mode on online dynasty

[Coach Kernzy]

u don't, you have to use regular and then make sure you have auto-pass on before you start a game

[morsdraconis]

u don't, you have to use regular and then make sure you have auto-pass on before you start a game

In a vs CPU game, you can use Coach Mode. You set it at the same time that you set your playbooks before the beginning of the game during the team select screen.

[SmoothPancakes]

I tried to join, but for now it's not letting me. Must be something going on with the OD servers on EA's side. Everytime I'd click accept it'd load for a second, then kick me back out to the main menus and bring up up a pop-up saying:

"TRANSFER FAILED

Unable to finish accepting Online Dynasty invite at this time. Please try again later."

[SmoothPancakes]

Alright, recruiting battle, take two!

I have 35 recruits on my board right now. FIU and FAU are both in the top 3 of 21 of those recruits! 9 have FIU first and FAU second. 1 has FIU first and FAU third. 6 have FAU first and FIU second. 1 has FIU second and FAU third. And 4 have FAU second and FIU third.

So of those 21 recruits with FIU and FAU both in the top 3, 15 of them have both of us in their top two. 9 have me first and FAU second. 6 have FAU first and FIU second.

Now this is going to be a recruiting battle! Even better than the last dynasty try.

[Archedemius]

I have a few extra battles possibly against Coach K's WMU this time around also.

[SmoothPancakes]

I'm going to warn you guys right now, do not get too terribly excited for Coaching Carousel in Online Dynasty if you have already gone through it in an Offline Dynasty. After experiencing how much fun CC is in Offline Dynasty, it sucks in Online Dynasty. This was a post I made in my FIU dynasty thread in the Dynasty Recap forum:


So I'm starting to have some serious buyer's remorse about making this an online dynasty instead of offline dynasty. :(

Besides the coaching carousel issue that Pastapadre wrote about (http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/07/18/ncaa-football-12-dynasty-problems-surface), I'm also discovering that coaching carousel actually sort of sucks in online dynasty. I'm currently simming a test OD as OC of Alabama to test out this contract and coaching carousel issue that PP wrote about, and I just went through the coaching carousel after the first season. CC in online dynasty seriously sucks bad. All the coaching changes, all the movement, by teams and coaches not involving you takes place all behind the scenes.

You basically go in and are "On the Clock" and just sit there accepting or declining offer after offer until there are no other teams interested in hiring you, and that's it. None of the suspense of teams maybe being interested in me. None of the mystery factor of what this team will do, or who that team will hire. Nothing. It's just sitting there accepting or declining a bunch of contract offers and that's it.

Considering this dynasty is about following the career of my coach, half the fun of this dynasty (besides trying to win with various teams and successfully complete contracts) is the coaching carousel and the complete unknown of what's going to happen and what job offer I might have next. Did I just turn down my best offer or is there a better one coming up later? In online dynasty CC, there is none of that. All you see are teams that are offering you a contract, and you can at least see the next team with an offer in line behind the team you're currently on. Which means you at least know for a fact if the next offer you are receiving is better or worse than the current one.

For me, that's not fun. That's boring, dull, time-wasting tasks. I don't want to sit there just declining offer after offer, know exactly what team is offering me a job next. I want to be sucked in to the full exciting, immersive, great unknown of coaching carousel.

As I am only three games into this dynasty, I am seriously considering starting over with an offline dynasty, and just replacing all the contract info, all the scores in my coach history, and all the game recap posts that I already made, with the new results from the offline dynasty, so the flow of everything will still be exactly like it is now, just it'll all be updated with the offline dynasty info, instead of having those three game posts sitting there and then starting over with new posts for each game.

I'm going to have to think about this tonight and decide what I want to do. If anyone has any opinions on what you think of everything and what I should do (stick it out with the suck ass coaching carousel setup in online dynasty, or start over in offline dynasty so I can experience the full fun and excitement of CC like it was meant to be in offline), let me know what your own thoughts are about all this.

It is not fun at all. It is so much not fun, that I have completely brought my FIU single player OD (in which I am currently in the middle of week 5) to an abrupt halt and am completely starting over my Dynasty Recap forum thread as an offline dynasty, just because I want to experience the full, true Coaching Carousel if I am going to do an entire Dynasty Recap thread about my coach's career.

Also, as a side note, that Online Dynasty Coaching Carousel issue that I linked to a report by Pastapadre about at the beginning of that post, has been fixed. There was an issue where if you tried to test the waters and chose to "Explore other options in the coaching carousel" after your contract had expired or you had been fired, you would instantly get kicked back to the main menu, basically bringing ODs to a complete standstill. However, when I booted up the game a little bit ago, the "Message of the Day" from EA was about this issue and said that it had been fixed and that you could continue on from wherever you are, no need to restart your OD. So that issue at least is taken care of.

[Coach Kernzy]

Well that sounds like it really sucks for ODs but at least it's something at least and we'll all still have fun with with Coach Mode OD I think.

[SmoothPancakes]

Well that sounds like it really sucks for ODs but at least it's something at least and we'll all still have fun with with Coach Mode OD I think.

Yeah, it is at least something, and it'll still do the job. Just at least for me, with a single player OD, hell no, it isn't going to cut it for me. I need the full fledged, immersive, completely mystery unknown feeling every time I go through the CC. Thus why I stopped my single player OD and am now going with an offline dynasty instead for my flagship NCAA 12 dynasty.

[Archedemius]

As far as I can tell, it has to be that way. You can't do it on an OD because if you were competing with another user on the OD, what happens if they aren't on to accept? And vice versa? I wish it could've been set up so if there isn't another user involved, you could still do all that cool stuff. I can't comprehend how a simple if-then statement could not have been programmed. Of course, that is why I dropped engineering for a major to begin with.

[SmoothPancakes]

Curious about something I just thought of. What is everyone's opinion on using the various Dynasty Wire features in this OD? Like for instance, recruiting on the website, or using SuperSim Online to get your game for the week played instead of on the console if you don't have the time?

After an idea smace767 and psusnoop both had, of running an entire dynasty from the web, using the console as little as possible, at least after Advance Anywhere goes live so you can advance the week from the website, I just created a single player OD with Western Michigan and am going to do the same. It'll be a nice little way to kill some time at work, doing some recruiting and playing a game or two.

So what would be everyone's thoughts about possibly intermingling the two through this dynasty? For instance, if/when Coach Kernzy advances the dynasty to week 1 tonight, I'll probably do my recruiting on the website when I go to work in 6-7 hours. If I don't do it online, it'll probably be around this time, 9pm EST tomorrow night, at the absolute earliest, before I'd turn on my Xbox and recruit on the console.

And I could be tempted to SuperSim Online some games now and then when I'm too busy with work and stuff to get on the console and play the game. Once HS football starts up at the end of August, I'm going to be absolutely swamped with work at the end of the week to the point I probably won't even turn on my 360 a single time from Thursday evening until probably sometime Sunday. It'll get even worse come the end of October through mid-December when our Christmas for Kids and Neighbors in Need campaigns for both stations start up, as most days during the campaigns, I'm up at work or out on location at live remotes from 6 or 7am until 6 or 7pm. By the time I get home at the end of the day, after really longs days like that, the last thing I'm going to want to do is turn on my Xbox and try to play a game.

[morsdraconis]

I don't see an issue with it, if it works as intended. You'd be doing remote coach mode anyway with only calling the plays and it simming the results.

[Archedemius]

I'm cool as long as we always make sure everyone is ready to go before the move to the next week. I will be doing most of my gaming on the box.

[Coach Kernzy]

I have no problem at all if you recruit online or super sim a game if you need to. Don't see why anyone would care if you did that.
I recruit online myself from time to time if I don't have the time to stay on the console.

[JBHuskers]

Think I'm going to have to step down from the league. Lots going on, and it looks like I'm holding things up, and there is a waitlist, so I'll let someone else jump in.

[SmoothPancakes]

Think I'm going to have to step down from the league. Lots going on, and it looks like I'm holding things up, and there is a waitlist, so I'll let someone else jump in.

Damn. :( Two losses in two days. We're not off to the greatest of starts it appears. Sad to see you go JB. I was looking forward to having you around the league.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah on top of that Coach Mode just isn't as interesting to me.

[Archedemius]

Damn! Sorry to hear that JB! :smh:

[Coach Kernzy]

Oh ok, guess I read this after I posted in the owner thread.
So yeah apparently mors and JB are now gone. Sorry to see you guys go. Both of you take care and we'll see you around here as always :)
I've already sent PMs to the wait list to fill spots but if we aren't full that's fine.

[SmoothPancakes]

I'll be honest guys, this may very well be my only season. This game is just too goddamn stupid to play on Coach Mode. 9 seconds until halftime, no timeouts, ball on the 29 yard line, I call a deep pass to take one last crack at the end zone before settling for a field goal. My dumbass QB throws the ball to my HB 5 yards in front of the LOS, as I watch the clock tick off.

Or else he makes some 50 feet high in the air dumbass throw to a receiver in the flats, that no QB in the history of football would ever have any business throwing, and if they did, their ass would be kicked off the team right there on the spot.

Either that, or he completely ignores a fairly wide open receiver, and instead passes it to someone who has 3 or 4 defenders all within 5 yards of him. :fp:

This stupid ass lag is pissing me off. I have not kicked a single full power kick all game, because this goddamn lag is completely screwing me.

This game, the CPU specifically, is just too damn stupid to try and play in coach mode. Half this bullshit would never happen in any level of football.

I know that stuff is frustrating Smooth and I know you were in the heat of the battle there but I hope you reconsider and hang in there with us for the duration.

I'm lucky as NT's QB is pretty good. Haven't seen too much dumb stuff actually.
