I'm strictly a offline player and you're wrong about us being left out. You don't have to play anyone online. All you have to do is sign in and play franchise online against the CPU. Just like you normally would offline except your signed in. And you have to be online in order for all of you highlights and such to be uploaded to the web. So, I really don't see how anyone with an internet connection is left out here.

This is great news, but my only concern is when it comes to things like conference invites and job offers. Things that add to the offline experience maybe not being available in an online dynasty. If that stuff is in online mode, then awesome. If not, then I'll still be running an offline D alongside my online one.

Say bro thats all fine and dandy, But if thats how you feel about this news and it has you feeling like its the best thing going, Then good for you and all that feel like you. But my point is still made because its offline with me and so many others that buy this game as well, So Im just hoping they have more to give us as well to were the game mostly matter in the end of all this.

Yeah something else would be nice.

However, this is huge IMO. Reason being is because this is the first feature (outside of game-play features),pretty much ever that I can think of, that has positives for both offline and online gamers. The only other things that effects both groups is roster updates and patches.

Like I said before the only people who won't benefit from this are guys without internet connections in their homes and guys who choose not to use it. For guys like me, who sit at a computer 40 hours a week and dream about playing video games, this is huge news. I've been waiting on something like this since this generation of consoles have been released and it's finally here! I'm excited.

Yeah, I can't imagine coaching at a small school with out the hopes of getting a better job offer or invited to a better conference for for 60 years. That would kind of suck. Hopefully, they're in and we don't have anything to worry about.

Sick! EA just keeps bringing it. What a cool feature/capability.

So many improvements in so many different areas, all in one year.

Werd!

My girlfriend is going to leave me by October, I just know it.

My girlfriend is actually going to law school 2 hours away from me and I still have another semester left before I graduate, talk about a perfect situation!

Apparently, as long as I bring my laptop when I visit, I can take care of most of the 'chisin. Just need to plan it out that I have offseason and recruiting stuff to do on the visits

Yeah when we havent had anything even close to what we are getting in this years game I guess you are nothing but right on when you say its a big step for EA. I agree with you,Im just saying I really hope they add coaching changes to make it all realistic.

That's good, because I never play without signing in, usually because I play as a TeamBuilder (created D1-AA, now that's a challenge) team. So this works for me.

Thanks.

Great news, obviously... only problem I'll have is I won't be accessing any of this while at work. Damn web filtering software makes it hard to screw around on the web in any manner. I can't access any EA sites now and I don't expect to be able to access my dynasty.

But as others have mentioned... those of us who are married with a couple of youngs kids, accessing all the OD stuff via a laptop at home will be so amazing!

Recruiting from the kitchen table while kids are watching Spongebob on my big TV in the living room (preventing me for playing XBOX)?? Yes please!!

Coaching changes would be great too! Especially if the coach brought their play-books with them *fingers crossed*

I would hate to doing my recruiting, or writing it down for a dynasty report, and my girlfriend gives me the "it's now or never" ultimatum at bed time.

Gonna be nice to do this ish on a computer on my own time when I don't have anything as important going on ... like when I'm at work.

Souns like something they did with madden 10.

I don't think Madden 10 was nearly as deep as this suppose to be. I hope they make it more depth though.

Yep, that's the only question I have if I convert my offline dynasty to an online one ... will the job offers and coaching changes still be there?

I'm really impressed with what EA is doing to this game this year. Looking like a Day 1 purchase for me.

This is amazing!!

Re: NCAA Football 11 Takes Dynasty to the Web (ESPN Videogames)

Wow, fantastic news. This will really help to move online dynasties forward. However, as a writer the feature i'm most excited about is doing these post-game write-ups. I remember back on Leaguedaddy I think I spent more time on writing pre and post-game writeups than I did playing the actual game.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Takes Dynasty to the Web (ESPN Videogames)

I am a solo player only but I will be putting my dynasties online for sure! This is GREAT. No need to have a dynasty blog to keep track of my teams progress. Also, the ability to recruit and adjust rosters from my phone or laptop means I can screw around with my dynasty while watching TV with the wife, bonus!
