I do remember one dynasty in NCAA 2001 which I was Michigan and recruited a Safety who was 6'2" and 215lbs. He was my Brian Urlacher. Man those were the good ole days!

indeed the good ole days. my friends and I used to have these NCAA 'parties' where for like 30 hours we would just play NCAA nonstop. We had tournaments and it was such a blast
I miss those days...

mine was ncaa 99 on ps1. I played with my vols of course and i remember throwing to peerless price a lot. I think he won the heisman(or ea MVP), didn't have the Heisman in the game. It didn't really have recruiting, but like a draft system between teams to get new players. I think this was the 1st import to madden game too. Still use that feature today

Mine was the days when Byron Leftwich was marching us down fielding, throwing the deep routes to Darius Watts.

Marshall used to be unstoppable back then

hol crap yall are bringing back some memories i almost forgot about. I cant remember my first dynasty, it was defintely on PS1 though and im sure it was with Bama. I used to love playing games with the legendary teams as well... old school defenses against new school offense. as much as i hated them that 01 Miami offense was beastly. i also remember using all my draft picks to trade the good players to my teams on Madden. Im not that into madden anymore, usually stick with ncaa, through the ups and downs.

Anyone remember a pro game where you could tackle the ball carrier like 3 or 4 times after the play was dead? i think it was joe montana but im not sure. i loved that to... play is whistled dead and you could hit him as many times before the screen changed to "pick your play".

good ole dys...

First one was with NCAA '99, played with my 'Noles. Couldn't really recruit the kids your self, just had to say what you wanted and stuff like that.

I still remember one year, can't remember the actually game year, but I was Georgia, I recruited this low low star QB, man...he ran the option play like Tommy Frasier. Kid was awesome, couldn't be stopped. He had a heart of a lion I know that, he would get smacked time after time after time, still got up. I don't think he EVER got hurt in his 4 years starting. Yes, back then Georgia was that bad I think a 3* had to start at QB for 4 years. If I remember right I had to RS him, he started after David Greene left. DJ Shockley was hurt or something, can't remember to much details about that. But anyway, kid was magical, he actually made me believe I couldn't lose a game when I played with him. I think I too drafted him in Madden, but he didn't really do nothing in the NFL. To me, he was a college legend. I think in his time as my QB, I won 3 SEC titles and played for a national title and won. I've never since had a QB like him. Kid took every hit you can think of and NEVER got hurt.

Good times.

Its probably sad that this is the topic that draws me away from a life of lurking around these here boards but what the hell.

I've run dynasties on NCAA ranging back to 2000 when Ricky Williams was on the cover.

I typically run a Michigan dynasty but the most fun I've ever had playing this game was in 2004 when I and two of my college roommates ran a dynasty together.

I was Air Force, Roommate A was Utah and Roommate B was Colorado State. In our 7th season I switched and took over at Eastern Michigan finally ending Air Forces college football dominance.

Roommate A - who typically fished the season with only one lose to me - finally made it to the BCS title game with Utah against Texas where he was unceremoniously destroyed by a very high-powered Texas passing attack.

At some point Roommate B and I talked a little too much trash about Roommate A losing to Texas and that ended our several month long NCAA 2004 dynasty. Ahhh what a ride.
