Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

I am in year 5 with Kentucky and loving it...but as we all know, year 5 is the last year for real life players. After this, I'm stuck with fake ones.

I want Madden, but I'm still not sold on blowing 65 bucks on a game I will play for two weeks and then be forced to rarely play due to taking 21 or 19 hours this semester in college

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

I actually love Dynasty. It is Road To Glory I can't get passed the 2nd game.

The only thing making me slow down my Dynasty play is that I may have to start all over when the patch comes and fixes the progression issues (I hope).

Hmmm... called this.

I can hardly play my Online Dynasty because its so dry. It really needs some crucial elements to get me excited again. I remember back in the day I would get so pumped about dynasty I'd make a list of 1 or 2 star teams to coach & have a plan about how I was going to rebuild that team.. Now I just picked a random school and simmed a bunch of years for draft classes.

The comeback AI is a real pisser, but, what can you do besides make the cpu incompetent with the sliders.

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

Ive tried to start 4 different dynasties and I just cant get into it.Theirs nothing there to keep me playing.Every game feels the same--no rivalries, no atmosphere, etc...I find my mind wandering to other things throughout the games, and to be honest I just sim alot of the games just to get it over with.

I've moved on to more enjoyable and complete such as Fifa 09, Saints Row 2, COD, etc...I mean, I have no idea whats going on in Fifa half the time, but its fun as hell. I find myself going "ohhhh" all the time.It actually feels rewarding to win and to play the game whereas NCAA has turned into a chore.

You know as a game developer you have failed when an American 20 year old who has never enjoyed soccer, watches american college football every weekend, goes to games, and even watches replays in the offseason abandons American football for European Football

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

We're all BORED because we are playing the SAME GAME year after year. This in itself wuold be fine except there are missing features, no atmosphere and no presentation. Teambuilder has ended up being a let down for me because me team name is only announced as "the away team" or "the home team" and my stadium has Syracuse written all over it yet I don't play as Syracuse. My rival is Fresno St.... I can't even begin to tell you what's wreong there...

I sure get pumped playing FCS East.... It's so awesome not having formation subs, customizable playbooks, refs on the field, squib quicks, coaches, heisman presentation, etc, etc, etc.

I don't blame anyone for forgetting this game because it will go down as a forgettable game. Gameplay is fine but there is no substance, no longevity. Some people go on and on about gameplay but without presentation and atmosphere there is no reason to play...

I will probably go one more season with my teambuilder team and that will give me four years of Madden import classes and then NCAA will hit the shelf... I hate to talk this way about my favourite series but... "it is what it is..."

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

I am not happy about dynasty mode what so ever. I have been playing RtG the most, when I play the game. But I have been mostly playing MLB 2k9. I may do another dynasty depending on the patch. If not, then if I decide to get Madden 10, I'll do a dynasty for 4 or 5 years so I can get the draft classes.

This I agree with. I've played it alot but lack of any immersive presentation really hurts. Particularly once you move to fictitious rosters, some story lines or dramatic elements to hold your attention would help alot.

Really need to follow Madden and get deep into dynasty presentation next year IMHO.

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

I'm in year six o my Rutgers dynasty. Loving trying to win the Big east and get into a BCS game. Hasn't happened yet.

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

If they do something about the progression then I may be able to get into dynasty mode. Fixing some other game play issues with the second patch would help that as well.

Yea I agree, and the fumble recovery glitch where the player just stands there needs to be patched as well.

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

I only play offline Dynasty vs the cpu and I am having a tough time continuing to play it. I have played 19 games so far and I just can't get the sliders right. It has never taken me this long. Heck, I have been playing this game every year since the first release in 1993 so I know it's not from my lack of experience.

There is just something wrong with this game period. For one thing, no matter how much I keep bumping up the Pass Defense slider for both Human and CPU the DB's don't make a play on the ball. I never see them try to swat the ball down for and imcomplete pass. All they do is stand there and wait for the reciever to catch it. One slider that I think is greatly missed this year is Defense Reaction (I think that is what it was called in the ps2 version). Without it I am having a tough time getting the players to respond correctly.

There are some great sliders in the slider section. I posted my sldiers there a month or so back and I find the sliders I use for A.A. are excellent. As I say, my issue is not the sliders but rather the lack of fun in this years game.

Re: Just can't get into Dynasty mode...

I do this with every game...Get so excited for it, then not really play it that much...Im not knocking the game, I think its pretty good...but i just cant get into it or any game

I've tried a dynasty with a teambuilder 1* team, Michigan, Iowa, Stanford and haven't really gotten into them past a few games..Just posting this makes me want to play as michigan, but i know i probably wont lol

But I think Online dynasty is pretty cool..For me, only having to play once every few days and knowing people are waiting on me if I don't play make the difference
