So I've never done anything like this before, but I've been lurking around the dynasty threads here for a while and felt inspired to try something.
This will be more like a "Let's Play" in written form. I don't have the time nor energy to write long-form articles about how my team is doing or do fake interviews with the coach or anything super creative like that.
However don't expect this thread to be all box scores and stats. I'll be giving my personal impressions on how each game went, how players are performing, recruiting, etc.
The title "Bottom of the Pyramid" not only represents using GSU in this game in general, but also this concept I'm trying out with this Dynasty mode playthrough.
Long story short; it's promotion/relegation with mega conferences.
I've set up the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac 12, and SEC as "mega conferences" with 16 teams each sorted geographically. The remaining teams will be placed in the smaller conferences. However, unlike in real life, the promotion/relegation system will take place over the course of 3-4 seasons at a time. Basically, if a team from Conference A is consistently performing badly and a team from Conference B is blowing away the competition, they'll swap. There's no real set time frame for this so it'll just be based on my personal judgment at the end of the season.
I've listed each conference as well as each conference it connects with in the spoiler below, along with the teams in them. I'll be using the traditional BCS system for this Dynasty because I'm too lazy to put together a playoff system. Each of the 5 major conferences winners get an automatic bid to a BCS bowl with the other 3 slots for at-large schools.
Here are the settings I'm using.
Difficulty: Heisman
Quarter Length: 9 Minutes
Sliders: OS Community Heisman Sliders
Roster: vikesfan059 2017-18 rosters for PS3
The only house rule I'll set for myself is that I have to recruit at least 1 player from Atlanta (or nearby) each season. Everything else is fair game.
The next few posts will be reserved for record-keeping purposes. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know!
