An Idaho Franchise is the test of a man's man

This is why EA needs to put stadium upgrades in the game. So that when you make them into a better program you can upgrade the stadium.

hha. I was considering doing an Idaho dynasty. I think given their success last season they shouldn't be that bad in NCAA..but I cba to find the correct link to the NCAA 11 teambuilder to confirm this.

Eastern should be fun to play with. Michigan is a recruiting powerhouse in this game, and State and Central are both 3* schools, making recruiting those local players even more difficult. The only thing that prevents them from being a great challenge is that they play in the MAC, which is usually pretty even each year. You can win conference games even if you're lacking some talent.

Last year they had a pretty good QB who got drafted- Rusty Smith. I used to play with them even online. Fun team.

This year they have a pretty good RB in Alfred Morris.

I'd love to, but the Kibbie Dome is absolutely atrocious. No offense, but I'd get bored real quick. Maybe it's just me but stadiums are a big sell for me and keep me interested; doing U of I dynasty would have zero staying power with me.

This is why EA needs to have a stadium creator or some type of renovation tool in their games. I could take Idaho to the promised land over multiple seasons and win National Titles but I'd still be playing in the Kibbie Dome with 7,000 fans at the game.

Question mark is the defense.

Agreed to a point, but it just makes it hard when you could turn Idaho into an elite FBS team but you're still having to play in a 7,000 capacity seat stadium.

I think your thinking of Idaho State, they have 7,000. Idaho is more like 16,000 capacity.
