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

i usually cant stand having to do recruiting but it really sounds like recruiting is going to be a lot of fun this year. Lots of strategy involved with it and they are doing a good job with the 120 ways to win in the sense that they are having the teams play like their real life counter parts and the recruiting matches the personel that is need to fit that system.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who's bothered by this and I haven't seen it brought up yet, but why can't you choose a random play (for all packages) during practice in Dynasty?
Also, in Madden, there wasn't even a practice option for season.
I love doing this at the beginning of a season to see what I'm working with. It seems like pure lazyness to me that it's not included.

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.

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.

While I agree that the first blog was pretty weak compared to this one, I'm not going to complain about them breaking the info into three parts, especially since two of them came out within 3 days.

This blog was about recruiting but the revamped ratings will effect much more than just the recruiting cycle, and the third blog could be a coaching carousel which would obviously effect much more than recruiting. I understand your frustration, but let's see where this goes before we get too upset about how they've done it.

This game is shaping up and if coaching changings is the last blog this will be the best game to date.

the uniforms TCU was wearing the the "120 ways to win" promo video were not their pro-combat. pretty sure this is the first picture/vid that has TCU pro-combat, and maybe the first pro-combat shown to be in NCAA 11(didn't double check though).

I haven't played dynasty since 09 (kept 10 for about a week), but wasn't "coaching prestige" and "coaching experience" or whatever two of the categories to pitch to recruits? This screen doesn't mention them so hopefully this means the coaching carousel is in, please God.

it seems they order them by highest to lowest this year. it's possible the coach prestige and/or experience in down further to where you have to scroll down.

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

Nope.

yup, the black pants and purple helmet should make it obvious that those are not their pro-combat. unless there was another scene in that video that had TCU that I missed.

They could do mix-n-match, but I don't think EA would do that for a cheap 3 second clip.

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

This all sounds good. I hope they make it so guys can play multiple positions. That's really important in the college game.

Also, I hope this year's rosters are rated properly. Will there only be a few 80 OVR Frosh?
