Somebody had to have screwed around with their roster as they got really good in a hurry in my dynasty as well. I didn't look at the individual ratings before playing them but I was stunned at how good the team ratings were. I've yet to see any CU players explode like that for me!

yeah, its strange because a couple of the guys who exploded for them are not even their big named recruits.... as long as this doesn't get too stupid I will continue to play this OD and report back what happens. We are almost half way through our second season now so by end of next weekend we should be done with season 2. This season I am way up there on a number of SUPER stud defensive players. However, I brought about 10 in for the Purdue game and only landed 2 with zero SOFT VERBALS. I really hope I didn't mess up by bringing them in too darn early!

There are no Notre Dame fans on the NCAA team that I can think of. The lead programmer of dynasty mode is a Pitt fan.

OMT, have you heard of this rapid progression before? No way my buddy is doing anything shady on his end. He went 5-7 and doesn't care enough to do any more then play his games and recruit his recruits. I hope this was just a freak thing and his entire team isn't filled with 99's in a year or 2.

just in my 5th game with IOWA but having a great time. had 2 easy ones to start with beat iowa st 7-6 lost big at Pitt with a turnover fest and now b10 play

in the recruiting trail i have liek 15 players ranking me #1 but no one committed yet.

My crown jewel could be the #1 overall HB..already on top3 after being out of his top10 in the pre-season

So much for my conspiracy theory. You guys do have a hidden potential rating in the recruits though don't you? Any chance that got screwed up with some Notre Dame players?

in year 3 of my UGA dynasty...got speed on defense. Last year started a Frosh QB at 6'7" 242lbs and getting great recruits but no stand out WR with size and speed.Trying to get one or two but we are still great.

A Pitt fan? Do people openly admit that nowadays? Thats like openly admitting your an Oakland Raiders fan


before someone has a fit, I'm a Raider fan

I've never seen anything like that before. I'm not sure what he's doing. Are they generated recruits or are they on the default Notre Dame roster?
