Dynasty - What You Need to Know (by JeffHCross)

[JeffHCross]

Anything wierd in terms of scheme change for coach hirings? AKA an option OC going to a spread team in which the HC had not left?

I honestly haven't been looking, Jayrah. There is a ton of OC/DC movement to follow, so I've just been focusing on the head coaches.

Jeff, If you are the DC or OC and the head coach leaves for another school are you able to follow him to that school?

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm not playing as a coordinator so that situation hasn't come up.

I don't really buy that. Why let players play dynasties on Varsity and stuff if the designers are so worried about the players stacking the deck?

:: shrug :: Was just a theory.

I think it's much more likely that they stuck that 100% rivals goal in there on the faulty (or simply careless) assumption that the majority of teams play their rivals every season, and just decided not to worry themselves with the handful of teams that don't.

I agree that it may have been innocently overlooked (I don't agree with "careless"), but you may be right. Then again, the game may be purposefully incentivizing you to play your rivals. And I think it's a fair assumption that most dynasty players do try to schedule their rivals normally. If nothing else, it can provide a recruiting benefit.

It's also worth noting that this was a contractual goal for a top-tier program (TCU). I haven't seen "Beat 100% of your rivals" goals at lower level schools that may be less likely to play their rivals on an annual basis.
