College Dynasty Mode Thread

Re: College Dynasty Mode Thread

Is there a Dynasty Mode carryover type of mode on the wishlist? (Like how you can carry over your MyShow player in MLB The Show)

Haven't heard that suggested for our game until now but it's a good idea.

Re: College Dynasty Mode Thread

Correct. It’s a Dynasty Mode built by one person in one development cycle, so not everything will make it in this year. We have Coaching Carousel on our wishlist.

ok, that's good. I want to focus more on the games than the recruiting. I can "run" a program and focus on games?

Re: College Dynasty Mode Thread

Once in the dynasty mode, can the uniforms and helmets be edited as if the team updated their uniforms and what not?

Re: College Dynasty Mode Thread

This may have been addressed, but will dynasty have an online option?

Yes they can be updated every offseason.

Thanks!
Don't get me wrong, picking a new team each year to turn into a powerhouse is fun, but having some year to year consistency would be nice.

Obviously it's very late in the process now, but I think implementing that into the game, especially if in future games we have an online dynasty format, would be huge.

Thanks for the response. I havent see all of the posts here, but from hopping around the forums here I'm seeing alot of positive things coming.

I do have a couple questions about the upcoming installment, maybe they could be implemented or discussed for the future. I will be using NCAA football series for comparison.

1. Will there be a type of "school progression" for winning? I'm talking in terms of facilities/stadiums. Each school in NCAA had grades for facilities, tradition, coaching style, etc. The one thing that I feel they could have done would be to have the opportunity to upgrade campus facilities (creating more pull in recruiting) 5 star programs have the best facilities( Rated an A in NCAA). But say I want to build a 1 star program. Would we have the chance to upgrade our campus facilities from a C to a B, and so on. Obviously this would need some sort of requirements to be met. I know NCAA had coach requirements, and maybe by meeting those you could earn points to increase your school "stats". (training facilities, gaining an extra uniform slot for editing, or even being able to edit your stadium) I say this because I think it would help give the player a sense of progress. Seeing the progression of an Oregon, when I was younger they were relatively unknown. And they have grown through the years.

2. Also not sure if Maximum will have an offseason training for players to progress. (In NCAA this was just a menu showing underclassmen who improved). Sticking with the above "upgrades" for school. I would think that a 5 Star school would progress players faster than a 1 or 2. Say a 70 overall freshman would go up to a 75 attending a 5 star program, but maybe only go up to a 72 or 73 at a lower school due to the lower grade of facilities.

3. The equipment side of things is sounding good. It's not/nor should it be a make or break for anyone, but the fact that you guys are getting sponsors is great. I dont expect madden level of customization. But the fact that player AND TEAM customization already gives you guys a leg up. I cant wait to tinker with things!

4. Will there be a home field advantage or "toughest places to play" mechanic? Atmosphere is huge for college sports. Some games have tried to implement this and have done admirable in my opinion. But I dont think a game has mastered it. The feeling of a crowd bearing down on you. Getting louder with every misstep of the opponent. Too often I feel like crowds Roar on good plays like a sack or TFL, but dont sustain the energy as the next play they simmer down when they should be getting louder. I may be wrong in this department, but maybe I ask for too much? Haha

5. This one is more for getting a rise out of your potential fans. But if you were able to get mouth guards in the game. There will be a large number of people who will lose their minds.

Ok I have rambled enough. I'm not a programmer so I dont know how to implement this stuff into a game from a technical standpoint. But MAYBE there is someone out there with a louder voice than mine who may or may not agree.

Anyway, I wish you guys the best of luck. I know making a game in general isnt easy, let alone trying to take on a giant of a franchise like madden. But I admire it and I'm sure others do as well. Keep making progress.

I'm pretty sure NCAA 06 (Or around there) had that decibel meter. Can't remember much, but I do remember pumping the crowd up for big plays and the decibel meter going crazy. (Back when blocking a field goal attempt was actually possible)

Yes the ps2 games had some good things. Even 14 has the scrambled route trees and some throw icons would have ? Pre play

Dude the scramble routes were awesome. I loved when you created a player you had to take a test every couple of weeks to stay eligible

Re: College Dynasty Mode Thread

Coach mode and/or spectator mode included?

Re: College Dynasty Mode Thread

New to seeing all of this. Can someone confirm/deny and answer some questions for me?

Single player offline dynasty only, can't be played online with other users?

Can't create share teams/rosters but you can fully create and customize them for your own use? (130 Teams/players/coaches/10 conferences etc.)

As far as the schedule goes, will it be similar to how actual college schedules are with conference/non conference games, byes, rivalry games, conference championships, the normal expected college layout? Part 2 of that question will it be built like a BCS system or have the 4 team playoff system or will it not even have bowl games at all?

For those who played 18 or have seen some of the 19 stuff, are the graphics on par with NCAA 14 or are they slightly better since it is next gen and many people playing on 4k tvs?

Is there a dynasty cutoff like 25 seasons long or is it infinite?

Thanks, definitely interested

1. Offline dynasty only.
2. Can't share files online, but you can customize all of it for your own use.
3. Schedule will have conference/non conference games, byes, rivalry games, conference championships, and 4-team playoffs.
4. Graphics on '18 were not on par with NCAA 14, but '19 is looking much improved.
