If you're like me, every single year I start a dynasty with a new team. Yes, Arizona St. is MY team but in all my NCAA years I have only started a dynasty with them twice (06 on PS2 and 11 on PS3). Just looking at the past handful of years I have been all over the map.
05... Michigan St.
06... Arizona St.
07... Virginia
08... Idaho
09... Utep
10... Simon Fraser U (teambuilder Cdn team from the CIS)
11... Arizona St.
In several of these dynasties I have switched schools after 4-5 years (USF, Washington St., Cal, etc.) but for the most part the majority of my gaming is from my first school.
This year I have no idea who I will be. I know that TEAMBUILDER is out. I did that one year and it was kind of neat but the total lack of realism killed it for me. Being modest, my NCAA gaming skills are pretty darn good so I like to take over weaker schools and build them up for the challenge. Wokring for the N.C. often keeps my interest (except in the case of 08 on PS3... worst game ever~ I stopped after two seasons!!!).
So for this year my EARLY top three is:
1. SYRACUSE
* superficial yes, but the lighting vid for the Carrier Dome was freaking amazing!
* a fairly weak programme that needs to be built up
* colder away game weather may be fun for the sched.
* major con: the Big East is a pretty weak conference... will I be too good too early?
2. UTEP
* very weak programme and conference; a great challenge
* tough to land Texas recruits
* 09 UTEP was one of my best teams ever (skill/talent wise)
* con~ this would be my second go around
3. Indiana
* playing in the BIG 10 for the first time with a championship game
* programme needs a lot of work
* huge challenge recruiting wise
* con~ win the big 10 and you have a BCS bid (would I get it too quick???)
So that is the top three as of right now. I'm sure it will change by next week. WHO ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT FOR NCAA 12?
