Promises are a big component of prestige. Are you breaking promises to recruits?

I agree. I just won 2 National Championships and my prestige was at a C+. EA needs to fix this.

Re: What is Wrong with Coach Prestige?

Anyone think that it's not broken, but instead this is the way EA made it work?

It goes up in-season while you offer and keep promises. Showing how your integrity is going over with new recruits and the guys currently on your team. Then goes back down in the off-season to reflect how much experience your coach has over the long haul. I mean, your coaches are still going up in prestige every year, right? You're not falling back down to a D grade in year 4. You're starting out at a B. How realistic would it be if your coach was at an A+ prestige after 3 years with head coaching experience, even if you did win NC every season for 3 years. It still should only be a B. An A+ grade should be hard to reach and stay with. Not handed to you after 3 years as a coach. I'd say only a handful of coaches in real-life would have an A or A+ grade, and all of those guys have been around the block a time or two.

Re: What is Wrong with Coach Prestige?

Your example falls pretty short. I agree with the statement as a whole, but if you won three consecutive NC's, you'd probably be regarded as the best coach at the time.

True, but this is a video game. A 1st time head coach isn't going to win 3 NCs in a row in real life. Actually, a 1st time HC isn't going to get the Alabama job in the first place. So the game does a fine job of showing how your integrity goes up in regards of a career as a whole, not just after 1-2 great seasons.

I'd like to see someone who has played 6-7 years in Dynasty and have them shed some light on whether or not their coach reached an A+ rating and stayed there in the off-season. If that doesn't happen, then yes, there is an issue with Coach Integrity.

No broken promises. Nothing that would affect prestige. It just drops at the beginning of the season.

I'm wrapping my 6th year up tomorrow. I'll give another update.

I'm starting my 4th season with WKU...coach prestige was D or D- in year one. Can't remember the totals but I think we had a losing record year one, .500 year two, and went 11-2 with a loss in a bowl game year 3 (F+ schedule) and my coach prestige is now a B+...has gone up every year.
