    The Rise of Smoky Mountain State University | CFB Teambuilder Dynasty


    On NCAA 14, I ran a dynasty for Smoky Mountain State dynasty for a while and to this day, it is still my favorite Dynasty report I've ever done on OS. Now that college football has made it's way to next gen consoles, along with revamped Teambuilder options, I wanted to give this another shot.

    This difference with this new report is that SMSU will have a nickname that better suits the area Gatlinburg, TN area along with a different color scheme. Last time around, we were the SMSU Kodiaks. Now, we are the SMSU Black Bears as the Black Bears are commonly seen throughout the Smoky Mountains and the Gatlinburg area.

    In terms of recruiting restrictions, I haven't had a chance to play CFB much since it released. With the new recruiting system, I'm not too confident in my ability to recruit. Until then, the only recruiting restriction I'm going to put on myself is that I cannot recruit any 4* high school players until I reach the college football playoffs or join a Power 4 Conference. I feel like that is realistic to begin with.

    Also, I enjoy following the same path that East Tennessee State University did when they first brought their football program back. They had a recruiting class or two and then began to play in actual competition. For the sake of the Dynasty, I simmed through a season and recruited only high school and JUCO players. I then made a new Dynasty file and manually ported those players over to this new file in which I will begin my play through.

    Also of note, I took over Kennesaw State for this Dynasty and will be playing through their 2024 schedule before I modify any season's schedule in the Dynasty.

    Thank you in advance for following along! This should be a fun rise to the top for this SMSU football program!

                New name and Colors look good.. I love the idea of Team Builder but it needs a a major upgrade in next year's game. I personally hate that you have to replace teams vs being able to add.. With the Pac-12 needing to add teams and taking 5 teams from the Mountain West, I wanted to do a rebuild of the MWC adding teams like North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Eastern Washington as well as some fictional schools like Death Valley State and Wyoming State, but the problem is when you replace a school, the school you replace still keeps it's geography location, so when I replaced Old Dominion with Eastern Washington my proximity to home pitch was for kids from Virginia. I tried UMass and it was the same thing.

                  I know I said Teambuilder was revamped in the main post, so I don't mean to back track... But the one thing I really don't care for in this game is what you mentioned at the end of your message. I just don't like the fact that I swap out Kennesaw State for SMSU and now Georgia is my main pipeline while Tennessee somehow isn't a pipeline state at all. Obviously, that'll change with time. I just don't understand that part of the game.

                  I love the idea of the MWC rebuild though! NDSU has had me following along with them ever since I realized just how dominant they were at the FCS level.

                  But, I do appreciate the response! Especially since I know we've followed each other's dynasty's for years!!

                    team builders are always fun. Like you and Deuce said, it is good but definitely needs some QOL improvements to be viable. I wanted to do an alaskan teambuilder, but replacing Hawaii would be my only option to simulate the distance an alaskan college would really have.

                    Wishing you the best of luck with the Black Bears!

                        Smoky Mountain State Debuts Uniforms Ahead of First D1 Season


                        Gatlinburg, TN -- The upstart Smoky Mountain State Black Bears' football program is building momentum towards their first season in Division 1 football.

                        In a press conference held in the university's basketball arena, Head Coach, Danny Carmichael, debuted the team's uniforms as they prepare for their inaugural season of play in the C-USA. The school struck a deal with Nike to create the inaugural uniforms. Nike will also create the school's basketball and baseball uniforms, which will debut later this year.

                        Below, in order, are the team's home, away, alternate home, and alternate away uniforms:


                        The Black Bears will don the all black uniforms at home with the all white away uniforms. With their alternative home uniform, the Black Bears while wear a Green jersey with black pants, while the alternate away uniforms will see them wear a white jersey with green pants.

                        Carmichael noted that this was a popular sell to recruits as they looked to build upon their first signing class in preparation for their 2024 season.

                        During the press conference, Carmichael also praised Nike for how the uniforms turned out. "Nike did a phenomenal job with these uniforms," Carmichael said. "Not only are the color combinations great, but we have the opportunity to mix and match jersey and pants throughout the season to keep our uniform combinations fresh."

                        That certainly seems to be the case as the SMSU football staff turn their full attention towards putting the final touches on their 2024 Signing Class.
