Official NCAA Football 12 Dynasty Mode Blogs Incoming This Week

I really like the inclusion of Coaching Carousel and an expanded custom conferences. Being able to change conferences throughout the dynasty will be huge b/c when a school starts dominating the Sun Belt I can move them up to the ACC, etc etc.

Coaching Carousel it's cool to have coaches retire and play styles change. It looks like a pretty good start for the mode. The real key for me is how it will effect whether or not teams have up or down seasons - or will I be in the year 2025 and Alabama's coach has won 10 National Championships. It will be cool to see how it plays out.

One thing that I really want is for some 2 or 3 star guys to end up being studs. It's one of the main reasons that I want to be able to edit player ratings in season so I can manually add these into the game. Very interested in the other tuning aspects of dynasty

Sounds like I have a few things to look forward to over this week.

Well that killed most of the hype I got from last week. Overall, reading that Q&A did nothing but kill the hype from last week. I would much rather have the majority of these than coaching carousel (or at least, the coaching carousel they put in this game).
