Dynasty & Coaching Carousel

[HawkFan]

if you can, you can..but how does that work? I get game- I name coaches- then when I get a roster from someones locker- the coach info will combine/save with that? is that possible to answer in 30 words or less ?

I don't think the situation you are describing is possible, but i could be wrong. I was thinking you would have to get the roster file first and then start a dynasty with it and then edit the coaches. I could be wrong with my assumption as well. Anyone clear that up?

[JeffHCross]

You can edit the coaches outside of dynasty. It's a separate menu option under Team Management, like "Edit Rosters" is on '11 and '12.

For full clarification, rosters and coaches are combined into one file... you can't combine the two to take a set of rosters from this guy and a set of coaches from this guy. If you download someone's rosters, you're also getting their coach file (whether they touched them or not). That said, yes, like Jeff said, you edit the coaches outside of dynasty which allows you to be able to use the same set of coaches everytime you start a dynasty.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the clarification guys.

Hello guys, i was wondering can you import a teambuilder team after the initial setup? like if i wanted to add South Alabama to my dynasty in year 2013, is that possible in the offseason with the conference realignment stuff. thanks

Unfortunately no... you would have to replace one of the existing teams at the start of the dynasty. Obviously could start them as an independent and then move them to the Sun Belt in 2013 but no way to bring in a new team during the middle of a dynasty.

I am sure this is not in the dynasty part of the game, but just so I am 100% sure, are there medical red-shirts in 12? If not, was this discussed at all as a possible feature that was thrown out for this years game and they just thought it would be best for maybe next year?

now with the CC in your dynasty does it track the CPU coaches career records or do they just reset at the end of every season?

[gschwendt]

Jumping into Dynasty a little bit today... just thought I'd share the new Pipeline screen with you.



I'll keep updating various things throughout the afternoon as I find something worth noting.

Quick question regaurding Dynasty mode. In last years game tranfers were a big issue after the 2nd season. End of year one there would be 35 to 45 transfers then after year 2 it was a big drop off and would only be like 8 guys transferring. Each year it got less and less. So my question is did this issue get fixed? Thanks in advance.

CPU career records have been getting tracked for several years now.

I spent some time talking about transfers with one of the devs. Based on our conversation, I'd guess that the overall number of transfers was not changed. What may have changed (and I won't figure this out until I get a lot of simulations under my belt) is the rapid rise and fall you described.

So basically what you are saying is after the 2nd season there will be more than 8 transfers (compared to 45 the year before) and so on and so fourth? Not as big of a drop off like that?

No. What I'm saying is that I have no idea yet, and it's going to take me time to determine that one way or another.

Oh okay I just misunderstood what you were saying my mistake. Are you going to post what you find in this forum? I'm on;y asking cause I'll just keep checking in from time to time.

If I feel like I can actually come to a conclusion, probably.

[hoosierhusky]

thanks...truth be told i just recently finally upgraded to the ps3 so this will be the first new version of the game i've dove into since ncaa '08 on the ps2 so to me this game looks amazing lol

[beartide06]

I actually really love that new pipeline screen. It makes things a lot easier to verify.

[ThatSnickelfritz]

Yeah I really like the new pipeline feature this year, where it tells you if you're in danger of losing a state as one or one you could require. Really cool.

This is my first post ever on the gaming tailgate.... Could somebody please answer this question for me... If you start an online dynasty and choose to be head coach, what exactly happens with your defensive and offensive coordinators? Can you see who they are? Can you hire/ fire? Do they have any effect on your team? Any information would be great. Thank you!
