    I know that it should obviously keep your bowl record, but will it keep specific bowl records, or BCS bowls at least.

    I like how coaches with the same alma mater and playing style get preference in coaching searches. I also like the new grading system which appears more in depth than before for coaches contracts.

    Besides playbooks, do the good coaches have a way to stand out from the bad ones?

    Sounds good but it's really sad that you don't hire your own OC and DC. It will be interesting to see how much of a tangible difference you actually see regarding coaches. If schools pretty much go after the same type of coach/style it almost seems like CC will be unoticeable.

    I'm going way out on a limb here, but can two users control one team. Can I be the OC and someone else be the DC? I'm guessing no, since recruiting would be difficult.

    If I'm a coordinator, do I control the depth chart and formation subs of the other side of the ball.

    Do you basically control the entire team but just in game play you only run one side of the ball?

    Thanks. This really made me excited for this feature. This alone has improved online dynasty ten fold.

    Good Q... PROBABLY "YES" only because you control recruiting still even if you are an OC/DC.

    Yeah that stuff you will be able to control both sides of the ball.

    Mentioned in the Q & A thread

    Originally Posted by Deuce It'd be cool if they did co-op online. 12 people on 6 teams. Two on each team. 1 as oc and the other dc. It would be interesting as people got promoted and left for other schools. After time everyone would have their own team.

    Gschwendt:Unfortunately two users can not be at the same school. At least part of this is due to the fact that currently no more than two people can connect in order to play a game... if two schools both had user OC & DC, that obviously would require four people to connect.

    FWIW, in ODs you can sort these stats by User Coaches to do a direct comparison to see who has the most All-Americans, Heismans, best record, etc.

    We expressed that concern as well, but the team is confident that the goals are those you will need solid output all season long and running it up in one or two human vs. human games will not be enough to cross milestones. In addition, even if you can't reach some stat milestones, W-L record and conference titles are likely more than enough to keep you employed.

    Prestige is the big one. Prestige aids in progression, so the top coaches should rise to the top. Also, the game tracks W-L record within the Dynasty menu interface so you can keep an eye on the top coaches throughout the Dynasty.

    Coaches will only get a boost in regards to playbook (and alma mater, for that matter); it is not what they look for first.

    Oh okay... that makes more sense. Can't wait to start playing around with it myself.

    Can you create a coach mid-dynasty? So if my guy gets fired, can I create a new one and keep coaching the same school? I want fluidity in coaching changes (mainly so other schools can change coaches/styles in dynasty), and so I can change my own coach as I see fit, but want to be able to stay with one school throughout dynasty.

    JHC would be able to clarify, but I believe you can edit/make a new coach in Dynasty Mode. However, I'm not sure if you can assign him to a certain school. He might be able to answer it exactly.

    That's not the point. My dynasty runs over multiple versions of the game, and currently I am on season 22. My coach should be retiring in about 10-15 more season. I'd like to be able to have him retire and hire a new one. Then say the new coach I hire gets an offer from his alma mater after five seasons. I'd like to allow him to go to that school, and bring in a new coach/new system. Now, I can make this all up in my head if I turn contracts off, but I'd also like to be able to see coaching changes at other schools. However, if I can't change the coach at my school by creating a new one and assigning him to my school, this awesome feature is, unfortunately, useless to me.

    I gotta say, dynamic attendance is really sweet. I played 4 games of a Tulane Dynasty last week and seeing the Superdome at about 20% capacity on opening day was awesome. Schools that have huge stadiums, but aren't powerful programs, will be fun to try to build up in 12. Playing in an empty stadium for a few years, then having near-sellouts after you establish success, will be a welcomed tweak to dynasties particularly with the addition of differing crowd sounds by size.
