NCAA Football 14 Pre-Release Q&A: Dynasty

[gschwendt]

Are you sure about that? In this SS:

It says that @ level 2 you get 50% for 50 points and then at level 3 you get 100% for 50 points so that makes it sound like it's the same cost for each level (or at the very least for levels 2 and 3).

Ah... apparently I was wrong. I either remembered wrong or they may have changed it since March. Good find.

[gschwendt]

Will the skills trainer be available with your dynasty team?

No. It's not part of dynasty mode... it's just a separate mode for people to learn how to play the game better.

So do they still have the optional paid content in recruiting? I believe it was recruiting advisor? Doesn't seem like there is much need for it now.

Thanks, guys, for answering questions. I learned alot by going through what you guys posted today. Great job, as always.

I'm using Tapatalk 2 and the Cleveland Browns STILL suck.

Very helpful, as per usual.

Recruiting can be very quick, though you can also spend a lot of time with it (if not just as much as before). You can analyze how you're doing competitive from week to week against other teams... so each week, you'll probably want to check to see how much ground certain teams are gaining on you and then adjust your points for that recruit as needed. As well, in the past, since scouting & recruiting were from separate buckets, you could just use an hour of time on 10 recruits. Now, since they're from the same bucket, you have to budget from that and be more wise on how you spend.

A question on tracking week to week. One thing that always annoyed me is that the game didn't track my progress and I'd have to do so myself or hope I remembered it. Meaning - for a particular recruit if after week 2 recruiting I'm in 2nd at -300 then check in week 3 I'd love to see something like 2nd, -250 (+50). This would allow me to see at a glance how if I'm trending up or down week over week for a particular recruit.

Is there anything like this in to see week over week progress?

Thanks!

In a game are we able to sub a player out like madden 13, by like pressing R1, LIKE I wanna sub the DE out because he tired..am I able to just take him out for a play??

How do you feel about the off-season being just two weeks now? It seems like a good idea, but the long off-season was in a way necessary i suppose. I do think I will love not spending 2-4 hours of off-season on an OD because of slow recruiters that was terrible.

[Lane8323]

Also, any word on when/if teambuilder will be available?

Unless things have changed, I believe it does exactly how you are asking.

I don't ever really mess with manually subbing, so I'll leave that one to CDJ or G.

I love it because unless everyone got together for one night, it'd take damn near two weeks to finish the offseason. There still is going to be some fun drama with a bigger pool of points.

Also, any word on when/if teambuilder will be available?

No word yet.

No. That is a matter of how Madden & NCAA each handle formation subs differently. Many prefer NCAA's style (including many Madden guys) while obviously many NCAA guys would like to have the way that Madden handles it.

At the end of the day, they're still different, though I would like to see a combination of the two in the future.

im just hoping that when you tell both CB to press both sides will do It not just one...that happens a lot of the ps3..the left CB didn't get his hands on the guy so if you didn't have help over the top you would get beat 95% of the time

I asked this question in the play book thread but moved it over here since this is the Q&A thread...it was regarding coach skills and getting a boost in the 4th qtr due to the 'clutch' skill.

If you are 'cold' going into the 4th qtr does the ratings boost start at the original rating or from the 'cold' rating?...hopefully that makes sense.

I think back in March the function was cold to normal, normal to hot. But with so much changing in the Coach Skills, nothing will be certain til the blog is out.

And the more I think about it, I could be confusing that with the one where you get a boost for calling a timeout anyways....anything Coach Skill related, basically just wait til the blog.

If I'm a coordinator, does my head coach's recruiting perks work in my favor?

Question re: "Complimentary" v. "Competitive" visits.

The articles mention 2 QBs (which makes sense). However, does this also apply to 2 Ts Gs, Cs, RBs, WRs, TEs, DEs, etc.......

In other words, say I bring in 2 CBs for a visit. Will that hurt me with both of them? It doesn't seem like it should after all there are almost always at least 2 CBs on the field.
