Road to Glory Improvements

Following its introduction in NCAA Football 10, Road to Glory received a significant improvements in NCAA 12. While the mode works to match the Be A Pro modes in NHL & FIFA and My Player in NBA 2K, the community has asked for numerous additions to help RTG become one of the best single player modes in sports gaming:


Custom Quarter Lengths
Custom/Selectable Camera Options
Ability to play any position, such as KR/PR, K, TE
More difficult to progress from reserve to starter
Photo GameFace
Upon completion of playing career, can be imported as a coach or into Madden NFL (or both)
Upgradeable Dorm Room Interface
Improved player apparel interface: Eliminate lag; “Preview” each item (as in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR)
Correct Player Duties: Not involved in coin toss or penalty selection, etc.
Ability to Select High School Play Style or Use Custom Playbooks
Ability to Transfer Colleges




Co-op Online Dynasty

Combining elements of Online Dynasty and Madden NFL’s Online Team Play, this would allow multiple users to play on the same team in Online Dynasty. A group of users could rotate among being the coach (playcaller) and QB, RB, WR on offense and DL, LB, DB on defense.

Co-op Online Dynasty sounds like a pretty sweet idea, but please make improvements to Road to Glory. Upgrade it, update it, make it more customizable and open.

As a HUGE BAP/MP gamer, I MUST say RTG. It needs depth and Custom Quarter Length

i'm currently in season 2 of my road to glory player. that's farther than any other year that i've played that mode in any ncaa football game. definitely keep improving it.

Throw in HS endzones that do not make your eyes bleed as you scour over jaggies that were reserved for PSX games.

maddens team play is for the most part just a mosh pit of non-teamwork sillyness....trying to translate that to a co op dynasty is a waste of time...what ? are you going to try to get multiple teams with multiple users/ can you find that many with that much time on their hands and a similiar schedule? no, its just a silly idea...getting games together with individual users is hard enough. This wouldnt work on large enough a scale

[psusnoop]

RTG, I enjoy this and would welcome more to it. I think the more depth you can go here the better.

[Pig Bomb]

RTG is lame...zero interest in this mode.

[blkkrptnt819]

I don't like this matchup. I think they both would lose if matched up somewhere else.

[psuexv]

Maybe combine these two and do a co-op RTG

[CLW]

RTG. I don't like either of these options but I would NEVER use coop OD.

[JBHuskers]

RTG by far. Getting someone to join you all the time for a co-op online dynasty, you'd be lucky to get through two seasons.

While I would support cooperative play like what Madden NFL does in terms of Online Team Play "Quick Games", I can't picture myself lasting through the scope of multiple years in an Online Dynasty doing it. Maybe I'd be interested if it was within the Coaching Carousel structure and I could be OC while my friend was DC (or vice versa). But that's a different kind of cooperative play than what is specified here.

Road to Glory has potential, but the mode needs more personality. While there were some improvements to the mode in NCAA Football 12, one area where the mode actually regressed was in providing the opportunity to have a personality for your player. NCAA Football 11 didn't handle this very well either, but at least you had to make decisions about how your player spent his free time and it had statistical impacts.

Co-op OD could be a lot of fun, but I'm going with RTG Improvements. People seemed to really like the changes made this year, but they are clamoring for more.

What if you could create a 'clan' of 10 guys who would have access to play with the squad? This could keep it going rather easily and quickly. It could also help establish Community Site Co-op ODs where TGT could be in an OD against Tradition Sports, Operation Sports, Stick Skills, etc.

If you have some thoughts or ideas beyond what is in the item description, please post them! Your idea is a good one.

Know that is quite the interesting little thought there. That could be something that is pretty interesting to think about. I could really see that being enjoyable.

Also like the part from Paakaa about a CO OP with you and a friend. One as an offensive coordinator and one as a defensive coordinator.

There was actually some discussion on this possible feature when the features were released before the game dropped. Can't remember which thread though. CC would have to go through some changes to make this happen though. As the OC or DC you would only be able to control depth chart on your side of the ball. Same would be said for recruiting. There would have to be some formula dependent on the team needs as to how much time each user would get to recruit "his" players.

what they need to do is make -Road TG more like a long term thing like Nba 2k and the baseball game, but in a different way... I dont mean becoming a coach and junk... i just mean making it so that when one guys college career ends, you make a new guy right after and start all over in the same saved mode..so you arent constantly creating new ones and add something to it....llike after a career ends, you have a map of the states and you pick a State to go to and theres recruits in each one and you pick which one you want to be..of course they would have to make sure they dont generate players that are impossible to build up....the ps2 days when you did drills for recruiters...like,..if they find a way to generate players like they do for a dynasty for you to pick a guy........just a thought....but you would have to add incentive and bells and whistles to keep it interesting...and if you cant pick the plays, that logic better be improved on or it doesnt really matter
