Not that I'm aware of but I might be mistaken.Quote:

Obviously sounds like it's up to the individual conferences and at least the Pac-10 did away with it.Quote:
UPDATE --- And to clarify this further in light of some questions I've gotten, the Pac-10 did use to have a rule that players transferring within the conference had to sit out two years, enacted to really try to discourage anyone ever doing that. In 2004 the rule was amended so that it was the same as the general NCAA rule, that players could transfer just sitting out one year. In this case, the Pac-10 is merely saying that its usual transfer rule will remain in place regardless of the rule that has been enacted by the NCAA allowing players in programs that have post-season bans to transfer if their eligibility runs out before the post-season ban does (in this case, juniors and seniors at USC). The reason is obviously that the conference did not want to encourage other Pac-10 teams to try to "poach'' players away from USC.
Interesting, thanks for the info.
Welcome to the site man! Long time no see :nod:Quote:

How many recruits can you create before the start of a season this year? I believe last year it was 30.
Yeah ha. I did a couple of dynasties and for some reason Kenjon Barner always transferred to Stanford. Every year...every time.Quote:

If the player chooses, they can go to a school the coach doesn't allow (usually conference opponents, OOC rivals and sometimes future opponents). They then have to sit a year, while not being under scholarship. Every now and then the coach will allow a player to go within conference (Mark Richt sent some player to Mississippi State) and while the player still has to sit out a year, they'll be under scholarship.
I'm 99% sure that's how this works, and I hope that made sense.
Didn't see this asked yet unless I overlooked it. Many apologies if this has already been asked.
If I elect to play as an Offensive Coordinator or Defensive Coordinator in an Online Dynasty and meet up with another User who is a Head Coach, how is the game handled? Will I still be controlling my OC/DC duties only, or does it revert to me being a Head Coach?
You'll still retain full coaching, both offense and defense, in User vs User OD games. That's for all combinations of positions ... it's treated as if you're both Head Coaches, no matter your actual assignment.
In all Online Dynasty User vs User games, you'll be controlling both sides of the ball. They did this because it'd be a pain in the ass if both of you are OCs and therefore just have to keep watching as your opponent plays and no interaction from you until it's your turn to be on offense.Quote:

It would add to the tension in the game I would think. Say they go down and score then you know you gotta match it or fall behind. I think it would've made for a fun OC vs OC user match. At least in Coach Mode it would've made sense. I think maybe they should make it optional like a Yes-No thing the commish can choose when creating the dynasty. User Match Coordinator Restrictions: Yes - No type of deal.Quote:

Yes. As an OC, if I'm playing co-op, we both play the offensive side of the ball and skip defense.Quote:

I was just wondering if they were a little better in the game than they were last year because last year IMO they came in looking like 2 stars, some werent even good enough to get any playing time at all!
hester, it's going to take a lot more comparison for me to really be able to answer your question ... but on first glance, the 3-stars at least look better. There was one notable CB on TCU's board that was a 3-star ... he had much better than average SPD/AGI/ACC, which was one of the big problems with 3-star prospects last year at skill positions, but lacked in the MCV/ZCV area. I think that's what you would generally expect from a 3-star in real life, so it's at least promising.
I didn't notice in 11 and haven't seen it asked/answered but are the appropriate logos showing up on schools jerseys when they change conferences? What about home field conference logos?
I've yet to mess around with Custom Conferences but I believe the statement was made that field art would change but uniform patches would not. I'll let one of the other guys correct me if I'm wrong.Quote:

You have to replace a school.Quote:

Ahhh I took it as him saying they were just crap on last years game, and I didn't think they weren't competitive on last years game.Quote:

From my understanding there are certain set job security when starting out a new contract. 47%-57% or something like that. I don't see why as a coach you should be able to change that cuz it's the school thing. Now Coach Prestige I can see being able to change cuz that's not to do with the school but the coach.Quote:

That didn't happen last year. I took on a heavy amount of 3-star players in my first season, and I suffered for it. They all started low in OVR and progressed horribly.Quote:
