Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog 2 of 3 - Prospects

These seem more like recruiting blogs more so than Dynasty blogs. Don't get me wrong, I love the info, but these just seem more focused on recruiting than overall dynasty.

Uh..Recruiting is a MAJOR MAJOR portion of dynasty.

Liked what I read for this blog

Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog 2 of 3 - Prospects

I had a bunch of recruits come in at 84+, so I'm not sure what to tell you. You also need to realize they still have one more dynasty blog before E3, so don't get too negative yet if this blog wasn't for you.

Recruiting did need some fixing, but in all honesty, what they did was stretch recruiting out to 2 blogs when it really only needed one(the phone call blog was nothing of real substance, it was only about a new look to phone call and adding point values which look like have taken the place of the interest bar). IMO, the dev team really took out the thunder this would have by already deflating it with a whole 1st dynasty blog dedicated to a facelift to an aspect of recruiting and then doing another recruiting blog that had some actual substance.

And they already hinted at what the 3rd and final dynasty blog will be about at the end of this blog.

When you add up all the changes to Prospects and the new Phone Call we've already made some significant changes to Dynasty Mode in NCAA Football 11. But honestly that wasn't enough (and well this is only Blog 2 of 3), so there is still more. What's great is Blog 3 will address some of the comments about the first blog: both about Kent State being in the Top 10 of our 5 Star Fullback (in the last blog's screen shots) and the points showing up in the Top Schools menu. We will take a look at the logic behind signing a Recruit and how the CPU will do it.

Really, they should have just labled the blogs with what they truly are:
Recruiting Blog 1 of 3
Recruiting Blog 2 of 3
Recruiting Blog 3 of 3

Then they would have actually been able to garner alot more hype. The blogs all seem dedicated to one thing, and thats recruiting. Recruiting is a major aspect of Dynasty Mode but certainly not the whole mode.

I like that the ratings are getting spread out. hopefully will make elite players more rare and actually mean something, instead of having your third string ranked in the high 80's, low 90's.

I've skipped the last two NCAA titles, but I get the feeling that the next Dynasty blog will put this years version into the "Highly probably purchase" category for me.

Only some catastrophically bad gameplay/A.I. design decision/glitch could dampen my enthusiasm now.

Love the info and the game keeps looking better and better. Also since TCU's pro combats are in I think Virginia Tech's made it.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog 2 of 3 - Prospects

Seems like now we're going to have players go to schools that fit. (That kent state FB hint) No more 5 star power backs going to Texas Tech.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog 2 of 3 - Prospects

I was hoping height would matter in the ranking of recruits, so i could get smaller players easier for WVU .

I'd guess early-mid next week. I say that because with BackBreaker right around the corner, I expect them to release a Team Builder Blog late next week or early the week after to steal BB's thunder somewhat.

That last paragraph where he says "we will take a look at logic behind signing a recruit and how the cpu will do it" makes me hope they fixed the cpu recruiting logic!

still reading the blog, but nice to see TCU's pro-combat uniform.

it would be even better if they made the gloves with it too
