[SuperNoVa27]

Did they get rid of random colored equipment?

I also posted it over in the bugs thread but direct responses aren't allowed there.

I had a 15-team conference with 5 TB teams and no issues. I've never had problems with wrong conference schedules like some people and I've had conferences as small as 5 and 6 teams. I can test the 12 and 6 case, though and see what happens.

That is going to happen. I've been talking to the guy who worked on the scheduling logic. You don't play the team in the other division every year unless you make it a protected rivalry. The same thing will happen to the MAC with BGSU and Toledo in different divisions. No matter how big a rival they are, it won't schedule it yearly because you can't have protected rivals with 13 teams.

i dunno who you talked to, but my protected rivalries aren't working even if I list them as a protected rivalry in conference setup AND they are listed in team info as rivals too... STILL wont be on schedule... and this happened in a 12-team, 2 division dynasty

why include protected rivalries if it doesn't work when subbing in TB teams for FBS teams

Okay I know I'm probably way late on this but I just realized it's no longer possible to add TC equipment to created prospects in dynasty. That coupled with created recruits not wearing gloves and the inability to add TC gear to TB teams means there will be very little TC equipment in later years.

I just noticed today that none of my TB players had Nike equipment (all generic gloves and shoes) and that I couldn't change it. Sad. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed. I guess you could always make a team that has black and white as its colors and then all the generic equipment would be TC.

This may be old news as well, but it snuck up on me so I figured I'd throw it out there. When importing your teams into dynasty realize that your preseason ranking will be that of whichever team you replace. this is especially important to note with coaching contracts. If you lose to a team that is lower rated than you regardless of their grades your job security takes a pretty good hit. I went 9-3 with a D/1 star team, but because the three losses came against lower rated teams (the teams all had much higher grades than me) my job security was at around 50% while I saw CPU coaches with 1 win whose security was over 70%
