A 3* DT (29th best) chose Oregon over me! And he's from Michigan - prick! First battle I was surprised when I lost. I didn't work him hard early and Oregon was able to stay on top. Oregon actually has the #1 class in my dynasty and I'm #3 with UM. I've got at least 10 4* kids now on AA difficulty. No 5* though but I never even tried. The best was a 5* kid but I've got enough young QBs. I don't like to over-recruit top talent.
I really wish we had them too. I work till midnight, then have to get up at 7-7:30 to get my son off to school, then do my online classes and either play a game or nap before work. In game saves would be awesome. When he was little and up a couple of times per night, that's what got me into coach mode. I'd coach a game with one hand at 4am and feed him his bottle with the other, lol. Madden 05 I think it was.Originally Posted by jaymo76
That's funny. Playing as Oregon, I got the 14th ranked center out of Michigan. He had me in his top three from the beginning. I've never seen Oregon get the #1 class in the country, but I like it!
I've got the #1 class at the moment but I'm concerned. I've acquired 10 4* kids and 11 3* kids. I only have 4 schollies left and 4 guys are on my list. The 4* tackle is probably going to go to Arizona St (stupid school still hasn't even offered a scholly yet he's soft committed) so that really only leaves one opening for the offseason (I'm 10-0). Should I drop a few of the three star kids to leave some spots open for the offseason? How many new 4 or 5* kids will become available for offseason recruiting?
NCAA 11 seems to be prone to big offensive plays for me. People complained about NCAA 09 being wide open but I see a lot of big plays in NCAA 11 and I like it. I'm not a guy that yearns for 6-3 games and tons of punts. That's not college football anyways. You can just look at the BCS Bowl games to see that it's very rare for a team to win a big game scoring less than 20 points. In some ways it reminds me of NCAA 06 - big plays and big fun.
Press coverage is definitely risk and reward in this game and I like it. You can really get burned just like I burned Purdue en route to 10-0!
I guess this is probably a glitch but anyone go to kick a FG and have the camera shifted over about 10 feet? Makes it hard to pick a good angle. I've seen this a couple times on FGs but saw this today on an XP too.
Yep, I've seen it on several FGs. I think it has to do with the distance of the kick. Well, I haven't had it shifted "over", but I've had the camera about 10 yards behind where it should be.

Yes it does. I've played assholes that play lame as hell and I've played REALLY straight playing people online so it has EVERYTHING to do with who you're playing against. Random people online that do nothing but the same bullshit all the time is a waste of breath.
Play a sim person and you get what this game is all about. Strategy and luck with a little bit of stick skills.
Played my first game in season four (Arizona St vs. BYU) With wonky progression we are now both C+ off. B- def. and C+ overall. Both teams have a lot of freshman and ALL freshman have very low awareness (40-44 on avg.). It was as interesting game. I won 34-26. Basically my QB and half my offensive line are rookies. My QB played awful, I had no time to pass the ball and my RB's were regularly brought down behind the line. BYU had a rookie RB who had the worst game ever played (22 rushes 58 yards and SEVEN fumbles + 2 drops). Here are some of the basic stats.
23 total penalties for both teams.... first 7 plays were penalties
three missed extra points
two missed field goals
four ints by my freshman QB
seven fumbles by BYU's freshman RB
thirteen drops (8 for my team)
seven sacks by the cpu D
I didn't use any game planning. I just played the game as usual. I really, really, really hope that the tuners can "fix" the awareness issue because if this game was an indication of what it will be like for the rest of the season, it will be a deal breaker for continuing to play. The #7 team in the country versus a strong (in the game anyways) BYU programme should not have a total of 13 turnovers in a game...
My guess is that it has something to do with picking the FG play too quickly, particularly before a replay has a chance to start.
My worst example of this was on an XP when I scored from ~50 yards out and then quickly called the XP kick. I then saw the kicker for a split second at the ~50 yard line while the rest of the team was setup in the normal XP position. The kicker then quickly warped to his normal spot but the camera remained at the ~50 yard line.
I have seen the weird camera glitch on two extra points. The camera looks to be placed on the sideline and just like with field goals, it's really difficult to line up the kick.
Yeah, it could be something like that G.

You guys jinxed me. I hadn't seen that FG camera glitch until reading this thread and then saw it this morning.
You're welcome, friend.

I must say it's nice to play in the Big 10 and my last two games have been cold and I see the player's breath out there.
I suppose this is already listed in a glitch thread somewhere but when they highlight a defensive player pre-game his stats are screwed up.
And while my sliders may be a touch easy right now (will address for season #2) I won my 3rd game where I trailed in the 4th quarter. That's 7 wins of 7 points or less now and I just beat #17 Wisconsin at home to go to 11-0! I'm ranked #3 and have my last game @ #2 OSU. OSU is 11-0 and only ranked below undefeated Bama. This will be tough but this has been a great year to play for me. So many close games makes it fun. And despite many people's hatred of college football's postseason, the pressure to win every game makes NCAA dynasty a blast. It also makes every game exciting unlike Madden's franchise where you play some, sim some and just worry about slipping in to the playoffs. One loss? Four losses? Seven losses? Who cares as long as you make the playoffs. Not so in NCAA where there is pressure to win every game.
Could Michigan Win it All?

I haven't played anymore since I read about the glitches in dynasty mode. I've played all the way through but I don't want to progress until the tuner set is released. I recruited a lot of 3 and 4 star talent, I don't want to see all of my players rated in the 50s and 60s with... basically a top-out at 70 rating.
Man this game NEEDS DYNAMIC RIVALRIES. Please EA/Tiburon, add dynamic rivalries for 12. In season four I just finished another game against Stanford.
Season 1: 24-22 ASU #3 RANKED GAME
Season 2: 16-14 ASU #2 RANKED GAME
Season 3: 45-7 STAN (they blew me out~ this score is flattering)
Season 4: 31-14 ASU (I scored two late td's~ it was a tough game)
I seriously hate playing Stanford now. The games are so tough but so exciting. A win feels like the BCS championship while a loss is devastating. These games are just so fun to play. My "natural" rival Arizona is AWFUL in this game. They are now ranked #109 with a C- overall. The games aren't remotely exciting and it's a real shame that this game gets such hype from the broadcasters and the AD comments. This year I fully expect to put up at least 40 on Arizona... again. WE NEED DYNAMIC RIVALRIES TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE!!!
This would be a GREAT feature. Playing As NMSU, I've noticed that I'm competing with (and losing to) the same schools (SMU, North Texas) for recruits, so I've started scheduling non-conference games against them. I'd love to see a rivalry with SMU develop over time.
I won the Big 10, I won the Thorpe (Kovacs) which seems to be easy to do again and I won the Lombardi with Van Bergen who had 8 sacks on the year. That was a pleasant surprise.
no AI had more sacks ?
After getting into the dynasty mode the glitter of the new game has fell off. If EA says that they test a game and actually advance past the first year of dynasty, there are two possibilities. EA is a big fat liar or they hire blind chimps to test the game.
