NCAA 14 Revamped - Vintage Dynasty feat. the Kansas Jayhawks 1991-...

Prelude

Growing up in Europe (American) football isn‘t likely to be your number 1 sports. And it hasn‘t been for a long time of my life. Just like many kids I grew up playing and watching soccer.

About a decade ago many national leagues have turned into boring one team shows. In the German Bundesliga many very unlikely things have to happen, so that Bayern Munich won‘t win the league title. The last time that they didn‘t win it was in 2012.

I had my first encounter with football in the early/mid 1990s, watching short NFL highlight clips on CNN International. With a friend of mine we would play Madden '93 on a Sega Genesis. Thats how I learned the basic rules of the game.

In the last years football has become really popular in Germany. Two Regular Season games are broadcasted regularly on national TV every week. And every playoff game is broadcasted on German national TV.

I wasn‘t much into college football up until a few years ago. But since then I‘ve been digging into the world of CFB, its conferences, its rivalries and the fantastic atmosphere in the stadiums.

I‘ve been playing Madden and more recently NCAA 12 on my PS3 for a while now. Just a few weeks ago I got hold of a NCAA 14 copy.

With this dynasty I want to relive the decades of college football, that I missed out on. Playing in the Big 8/12 with all its line up changes over the years will keep this dynasty fresh.

Kansas Jayhawks Dynasty

Rosters:

Since I can't get any 1991 rosters, I play the latest 2021 rosters available.

Starting the dynasty I set "auto names" to yes, but the game didn't create any names - the original 2021 names are still in the game.

Conferences:

I realigned the conferences as close as I could to match the College Football world of 1991 - see posts #8 +#9.

It is impossible to aligne those conference as they were back in 1991. I tried to find a solution to be historically correct as possible.

The Sun Belt serves as a conference to "hide" all the programmes, that weren't part of the 1-A in 1991. There are more than 16 of such programmes, hence the rest of them are aligned as independents

I still don't know for sure, how to handle 1-AA programmes, that become too good, before officially entering the 1-A stage. Currently UCF is playing a great season (see ranking below). I hope they will lose against Clemson in their next game.


Realignement in 1993: A few more independents like Penn St and Florida St have joined conferences, so that I could realigne the MWC and the SBC. The MWC in the game will now function as the WAC and the SBC as the Big West Conference. I decided to treat programmes like Coastal Carolina as the teams they were in the original game, so that Coastal will be NM State. All other 1-AA programmes have become independents.

NOTE: Difficulty, sliders, recruiting house rules and in game house rules may be subject to change in the future depending on how this dynasty is going.

Difficulty and general settings

All American (both sides of the ball)
Quarther length: 9 minutes

Sliders

Since I'm relatively new to the game, I don't mess with sliders just yet.

I did a few changes though:

CPU Defense - INT 40
FG acc. 40/40 (since 1993)

Threshold - 25
Game speed - slow
Fatigue - on (change in 1993: off for the first play of the 3rd quarter)
Home field advantage - off (change in 1993: set to on in away games)

Offside - 80
False St - 80
Holding - 80
Facemask - 55
OPI - 100
DPI - 100
Intentional grounding - 80

Recruiting

Recruiting is restricted to my starting pipeline states (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas) and the home states of my fellow conference members. I will have to surrender newly gained pipelines once conference line up has changed.

1991: Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado
2011: Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Missouri
2012: Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, West Virginia
2023: Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, West Virginia, Ohio, Florida, Utah

I think about making recruiting harder from 2008 onwards, because the Jayhawks have been struggling to be competitive since the 2009 season.

Rule Changes (1992 season):
  • No scouting of players who did not yet commit to our team allowed
  • Mid season 1992 - on defense I will always pick the play in the middle (ask the coach screen, x-button PS3)
Rule Changes (1993 season):
  • Recruiting: number of scholarships = number of seniors + 1
  • Recruiting: At the start of a new season I will role the dice. If I get a one I will only be allowed to recruit 1+2 star caliber and I have to role the dice again. If it's a one again there will be no recruiting allowed at all and I will only get walk ons.
  • Coach skill trees: not allowed anymore (HC - game management)
  • Sliders: FG accuracy reduced to 40 on both sides
  • Injury ratings - QB -10, HB -15, WR -10, OL -70, TE/FB -20, Defense -40
  • In-game house rules: turn off fatigue for the first play of the 3rd quarter
  • game speed: normal
Rule Changes (1994 season):
  • Since I have now managed to make the NCAA tools work, I will use them starting in the offseason 1993/94 (draft, progression, playoffs in 2014).
Temporary pipelines
  • Missouri (1992-?/2011)
  • Colorado (1993-?/2011)
  • Florida and Georgia have become pipelines too in the 1993 season due to coaching tree advancement, but I am not allowed to recruit in those states.

1991 - Weeks 1-9 Kansas Jayhawks
Schedule.jpg

1991 - Week 10 - Colorado @ Kansas

Going into week 10 expectations weren't high against a Colorado team that outmatched the Jayhawks rating wise.

The first drive ended with a missed FG (49 yards), but Colorado's offense would perform even worse throughout the first two quarters: zero points

13 nothing at halftime

But the Buffaloes came on strong in the 2nd half, they just couldn't finish their drives with touchdowns - 13:6 after the 3rd quarter.

Just when everybody at Memorial Stadium expected the momentum to shift even more in Colorado's favour, their offense made a huge mistake, that would finally decide the game. Interception in their own half and the Kansas QB cashed in turnover points with his 2nd rushing TD of the day.
