Small schools as head coaches
I'd prefer head coaches whichever route we go. Big or small doesn't matter to me... I can always adapt.
Also, Papa, be sure to read the first bullet here: http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/for...l=1#post198400
I would like big time schools kinda goes with the "powerhouse" theme.
Ditto.Quote:

Practice mode in preseason *busts*
After reading the whole thread....I'm down with whatever the majority leans to.
Reading EA finally getting deep into coaching skills/sigs....I can only imagine what 2K would be doing with a College Hoops 2K14 right now....
I prefer using bigger schools. I lose interest when we start with the smaller schools. I would not mind using 4* or 5* schools. I really would like to use the Canes this season. Head Coaches all the way also.
BTW, I would also suggest we check to compare how the true freshmen on default rosters compare to those top freshmen that come in. Last season it really sucked not really being able to use the freshmen from the default rosters because they were rated so low compared to the guys we started recruiting.
I'd prefer bigger schools as well.
Powerhouse Teams for a Powerhouse OD :P
I can play with whomever. I prefer lower rated teams but have no problem using the 4 & 5* teams. Im curious to see where Arkansas will fall on the spectrum this year after our abysmal year last season. Im guessing it wont be pretty.
I would prefer HC at bigger schools. We already do coordinators in TGTOD, and in my OD we are starting with unranked teams. So it will give me some variety.
For me, I already have small schools with SBCOL. If Tommy doesn't continue with it for 14, I (or maybe Snoop if he's interested) will take over the reigns of something like it.
Just ran across this post again.Quote:

and here are the schools in power conferences
:Auburn::Arkansas::BC::Cal::Colorado::Kentucky::NC _State::Nevada::Oregon::Purdue::Syracuse::Tennesse e::Texas_Tech::Wisconsin:
Nevada added, because they have been successful over multiple years even though not in a BCS conference.
Per my previous post we could still do this with Powerhouse schools/conferences.Quote:

I think whatever we choose, it needs to be fairly level just to keep people from losing interest because they cannot compete on the field or off.Quote:

I dislike that idea, I want to play with South Carolina.
I think you would be in the same boat with Miami. They haven't been a powerhouse for years. Wisconsin could be considered a powerhouse considering they won the Big Ten last year and have been in the running for years. Arkansas, Oregon, and Texas Tech were teams we started off with this year, so the talent disparity would be the same.Quote:

True, but I was saying we had a talent disparity with the teams we started off with last year so this year would not be too much different. Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, and a horribly underrated Texas A&M team (who some stated would be a disadvantage before we picked teams) were teams that we started off with last year that didn't match up with the likes of LSU, Bama, or Oregon talent-wise. Or with Texas recruiting wise.Quote:

If we did it we would be best served removing the Power teams from that list IMO and would be doing a small school dynasty that the majority has voted against.Quote:

My non-roster viewing early top 4 are Texas, Florida, Stanford, and Ole Miss....I can't wait to see the rosters on the website.
Ditto. Im most interested in how Arkansas, Stanford, UCLA, Michigan St andQuote:

I might go homer and see what I can do in Martinez's last season. Guess like everyone else, depends on what the roster looks like.

What does everyone think of picking teams that were once Powerhouse teams but have slipped recently or teams that are right on the cusp of becoming a dominant team again or just excluding teams that have been in the top 10 a minimum of three out of the last five years - this would exclude:
Alabama
Oregon
Ohio State
Stanford
Boise State
TCU
Florida
Sounds good to me as I'll probably stay consistent and would like to roll with USC
I am down with whatever is decided, I just want to play the game already lolQuote:

I'd be down with that Oneback. I could get rid of Brady Hoke and bring the option back to Michigan.
I would love to do a team builder and use the default roster and program ratings (starting pitch grades, prestige, etc. as the team I end up drafting. I've been itching to bring my LoneStar College (LSC) Outlaws back. That one year that we all had 'em for about 5 advanced weeks was fun. I remember picking the Rose Bowl as my stadium....used the bowl game instead of UCLA and ALL of my home games had a split crowd....lol
Colorado was my first thought as well. Its a shame what has happened to them in the last decade.Quote:
