As some of you know, I'm from the UK, and I've been a fan of American Football for 7 years or so.
I ordered my first NCAA game a couple of days ago from Canada, and it should arrive either tomorrow or Tuesday. Despite having a decent knowledge of Pro Football, and having watched some college games, I have very little clue of how I should go about running a successful dynasty.
Recruiting in particular is an area of which I know extremely little, and I was wondering if I could get a few helpful hints and tips from the rest of the OS community on a few things, such as:
1. Which team should I go for? Is it better to start with a high-ranked team or a low one? I was thinking of maybe Colorado or Oklahoma but suggestions would be nice
(I play on All-American and win roughly 50% of games on the demo. I usually play Madden on All-Pro but have found it too easy, however NCAA 12 is definitely harder)
2. How best to start my dynasty? Anything I need to know before I start my first season?
3. Recruiting - Simple strategies which I can use and not get too confused with. (Bear in mind I have very little knowledge of the college system, and my geographical knowledge is only reasonable.)
4. Gameplanning - Should I stick with the default playbooks? (Which is the way I am inclined to go as they will be well suited to the individual teams)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This community has been very helpful to me concerning college football over the past year or so, and now that the game's arrival is imminent I need all the help I can get!
