EA has no reason to create a realistic long dynasty mode

so basically the last NCAA they made before going to the 360/PS3? And you know you can play PS2 games on PS3 right?

Only on certain PS3s. I would have thought they would of did a PS3 patch to play PS2s.
I miss the PS2 days. Online gaming was not as popular as it is today, so Offline got alot of love. There was only so much they could do with graphics, so there was more space for other things

Yeah, you're like me. I feel the exact same way. Give me a great game, PS2 graphics were good enough. I don't care if the cleats show dirt/grass coming up lmao

Which system do you have? I'm pretty sure I have the first reg. size 60 GB

Right now dynasty is just games and recruiting, but if they put more into the game and gave the player full control of their team in all aspects, dynasties would last longer. If dynasty was like more like the Franchise mode or dynasty mode from the PS2 Maddens and NCAAs, don't they think it wold keep more people around? A few things I could think of are: -Gameplay fixes and player logic fixes -Becoming the AD -Micro-managing your stadium and events (White outs, spelling things in the crowd, etc.) -Stadium Renovations -Player discipline, player attitudes, players playing to their strengths -Custom play creator and custom playbooks -Custom Jerseys after time -Practice Drills (7 on 7 pass, 9 on 7 run, 1 on 1 routes, etc.) -Game Preparation (Full scouting reports of your opponents playcalling and tendencies{It was on the PS2!!}) -Coaching Carosel (Come on that was on the PS2 also) ......Maybe in NCAA 13.....

Crazy thing is CH2k8 has all nearly all of these and it's the best franchise mode I've personally seen in a console game. You can get real deep with that game down to adjusting what you wanted each individual player to practice on each week.

I agree with what you're saying, Dynasty mode is just playing games and recruiting, no depth to it at all. I don't think things like editing Stadiums and jerseys is that necessary. Mainly because the generic stadiums / jerseys never look as good as the default ones.

Some things I'd like to see:

Recruiting Underclassmen
Multiple High School AA games, Underarmor/Army one. They could even have generic names.
Spring games.
Coaches that actually matter.
Better presentation so you can actually feel like you're in season, not just one team playing a string of games.

I dont understand why in almost every sports game thread you hear someone say they have no reason to make franchise modes better? That is bull if i ever heard it why do you see threads when these games come out with the major problems in some of these francise modes? they are huge at times. I think they know that people love a good dynasty mode thats what made some of the last gen games so awesome. And is why people still talk about them.

Heres to hoping that they do realize this and try to make improvements.

I play dynasty like I mofo. They do have a reason to

bingo to both above. Online can only go so far because it would take a lot to incorporate every aspect of offline dynasty mode into the online world. Most online guys don't care for the extras either. Yeah in Madden it would be nice to have some sort of salary cap but it would be hard with 32 guys as user. NCAA has a nice online dynasty already, just fix those bugs on the offline and attach them to online...then start adding old features and new ones and no...i'm not talking about presentation. I really don't care if there is an announcer at all or you can see your fans or mascot. The PA announcer back in the day was good for me, besides it was easy and they could pronounce almost every player's name. A lot they put into presentation is just overkill and its the younger audience that loves this.

I still go back to the fact that the first gamers are in their 30's and still play...they play with their kids and everything. It's this new age group...like 10-18 that are in love with graphics and presentation. The ones that don't really recall the 'good ol' days'. But who buys the games? Parents or the young adults.
