    Reaching for the Brass Ring on NCAA Football 12’s Coaching Carousel


    Owen O'Cain err... Owen Good chimes in with this new NCAA Football 12 article with more Coaching Carousel information.

    "Ben Haumiller's got a job for me. Several jobs, actually, but they're all in NCAA Football 12's new career mode, the "Coaching Carousel." Haumiller, the game's producer, explains it all using an offensive coordinator named Owen O'Cain as an example. Who the hell is Owen O'Cain?"

    "And Dynasty packs in all of the decisions you face as a head coach of a major program."

    Really? Hire and Fire assistants? Lobby for funds to remodel or build a new stadium? Run spring practice? Spring game? Recruit juniors? Specify areas you want a player to improve? (gain weight, lose weight, improve strengths, etc etc)

    Dynasty lacks more decisions then it has. Not a complaint, I know it takes time to add new stuff and they added a bunch this year, and it sounds good.. But its a long way from being all encompassing as this guy is trying to claim.

        He must be thinking about NCAA 11.

              So is possible for 2 User coordinators to play an online dynasty game vs one another, if they are both coaching offense or both coaching defense?

                I'm pretty sure they said that in User vs User games both guys will control both sides of the ball and play out all the plays.

                Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

                Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                    It's decently easy. I did a simulation as Tulsa's OC using a new coach (started at D Prestige), and within a season I had very high job security and got a decent prestige bump. I didn't have a chance to see how quickly that prestige bump would turn into a new job ... I think you'll probably have to stay at a higher prestige level for a little bit of time before you start getting good offers. Guess we'll have to wait and see on that.

                    I'm 99% sure that you're right. User vs User games will play both sides of the ball.

                            correct, but can you "coach mode" both sides of the ball vs a USER in OD? Where both users only call the plays and watch via the broadcast cam?

                              Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember 2k Sports hyping up Coaching Carousel in College Hoops 2k7 as much as EA has done for NCAA 12. I think the folks at 2k figured that fans expected that feature to be in there in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the addition of coaching carousel, I just wished EA hadn't copied and pasted it from CH2k7 without any major additions like JalenTigh had pointed out.
