NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog 2 of 3 - Prospects

[DJACK]

This all sounds great! Now you can actually recruit big run stopping defensive ends it sounds like. Last year all the DE's were like 6'1 225 it made no sense. Hoping that the final blog is coaching carousel that would be the icing on the cake. Also having 85 man rosters would be a verrrrry nice addition and it shouldn't be that hard to include.

Coaching carousel would be huge. It helps make College Hoops 2K8 dynasty mode great. Coaches changing and bringing in their different styles, recruiting philosophies, etc...

These seem more like recruiting blogs more so than Dynasty blogs. Don't get me wrong, I love the info, but these just seem more focused on recruiting than overall dynasty.

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.

When you add up all the changes to Prospects and the new Phone Call we've already made some significant changes to Dynasty Mode in NCAA Football 11. But honestly that wasn't enough (and well this is only Blog 2 of 3), so there is still more. What's great is Blog 3 will address some of the comments about the first blog: both about Kent State being in the Top 10 of our 5 Star Fullback (in the last blog's screen shots) and the points showing up in the Top Schools menu. We will take a look at the logic behind signing a Recruit and how the CPU will do it.

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.

I like that the ratings are getting spread out. hopefully will make elite players more rare and actually mean something, instead of having your third string ranked in the high 80's, low 90's.
