Post your NCAA Football 12 Dynasty Mode & Coaching Carousel questions in this thread.
However, before posting please review the thread to see if your question (or one similar) has already been asked and/or answered.
1. Please, someone, sim the game to season 5 or 6 and see what type of ratings the teams have. Are there any A overall teams at all? Interested to see how progression is working this year.
2. Please sim a season as a :1star: coordinator (whichever one is fine with me) and see what type of job offers you get after a mediocre/bad season (or what type of offers you get after a great season - whichever happens).
Thanks guys (you lucky bastards)!
Key question: Does PRESTIGE change if conference are realigned? AKA is conference prestige dynamic or at the very least can it be changed by the user???
Are 2 and 3 star players actually viable at the big boy schools this year?
Just a heads up, Jason French from the NCAA team tweeted that the websites for NCAA12 won't be available tomorrow. Sounds like first version will be up on Friday or sometime thereafter. We still should be able to run online dynasties, etc. but we obviously won't be able provide any info on the website changes until after that.
Ya recruit ratings and just sim to see stats and what not
maybe some screens of different created coaches outfits...?
Submitting this on behalf of one of our twitter followers:

@BdyDrpdKotaEC - I want to know if recruiting will be affected by the new coaching carousal or not? If so, how?
I just want to second simming through to like season 5 or 6 and seeing how the league shapes up and what rosters look like. Anything recruiting related, would love to see a demonstration of the sway pitch being stronger than in previous years.
It's incomprehensible how jealous I am that you guys will have the game tomorrow.
Got a couple questions:
1. Are 2* and 3* recruits viable now?
2. How well do teams recruit to their style of play?
3. Are recruit ratings more logical? No more terrible juke and spin for RB's and WR's? Also, is the relation between speed, acceleration, and agility better then last year? For some positions, a player had one or two of the three, but not all? I hate seeing a 4.4 safety who has 76 agility and 82 acceleration
4. How good is progression compared to NCAA 11? Is it more performance based?
5.. Are there more kicker and punters, and are their ratings any good now?
If you're going to sim ahead a few seasons I'd like to know if teams still stockpile players at certain positions and neglect others, like having 6 QBs but only 1 RG and 1 LG.
Also, do you see players out of position on the depth charts? WRs playing CB because of a lack of CBs or CBs having lower ratings than the WR.
Could you sim ahead 5-6 seasons then post a list of the top 15 players at each position and the bottom 15 players at each position? A screenshot or video would work great. I'd like to see how the ratings compare versus the season 1 rosters.
Any changes to fullbacks, as in number or recruits or quality from previous versions?
Similar to above, would like to know if there is any affect on a recruiting class if a coach is fired, etc?
With the addition of the custom conferences you now make super conferences with 16 teams, but can u have 16 users in and Online dynasty? the old limit was 12.
I'm 99% certain that you can still only have 12 members in an OD.Quote:

Obviously the first half of that question is easier to answer than the second, but your observations would be greatly appreciated when time allows. Thanks!
Make that 110%Quote:

It looks like coaching contracts, at least the initial ones, are 3 years by default. Just to confirm, could you start getting offers (and can you accept those offers) from other schools before the 3 years on your current contract is up?
Yep!Quote:

and are you offered an extension every year if you are playing well. In 11 each season I would be offered a six year extension.Quote:

Thats in his first season. Which would speak to the disrepair of the rosters currently as opposed to what they might be later.
True it is season 1 but I'm sure that the roster has been sorted by overall rating just like they are in future years for CPU controlled teams. Maybe it's just me but I wish the CPU actually factored in a player's natural position when organizing the depth chart. I'd love to see something from a few seasons into a dynasty that contradicts what this video showed.

Throughout Dynasty and the Carousel, different ratings can be effected by your coach.
- Progression: Your HC's Prestige can help your team progress more than others. The devs have said it's not a huge boost to be unfair, but it should help separate top teams and coaches.
- I forget the category (Coaching Stability?), but it will drop if your coach keeps moving around and will be higher the longer he is with a school. This can help or hurt in recruiting obiously.
I'd have to look through all of the Recruiting Pitches, but those are two that come to mind in response to the question.
How are the FB recruiting? Last year it was almost impossible to sign a real FB and from the video everyone was a 2*.
In Dynasty, if you are a bad team, does attendance suffer (visually)? Do people leave the game if it's a blowout?
That's something I'm going to try to capture this evening. Yes, they should leave much more abundantly this year. I'm going to Super-Sim to the 4th quarter with a team like SDSU or Temple hosting a high caliber team to show the difference between 1st & 4th quarter.Quote:

Would love a video featuring off season progression! Thanks!
Can u see sim a season and post the overalls for some of the recruits? This is important bc the rosters ovr ratings being streched out?
How much of in season progress are u seeing?
Would like to see what types of recruits the highest Sparq ratings guys are and how useful that will be as a tool to gauge what the overall will be of that player.
Noob question:
What is Sparq and how is players rated by it
can we get a run down of highest rated freshman from recruiting pool after year 1 of OD
not comprehensive, just the highest u see. Also how do recruits look in the post season recruiting part, same as last year?
