NCAA football 12 Conference Alignment

[Dynasty411]

Hello all,
I am new to this site, but I am no new comer to the NCAA Football franchise. I am a college junkie. I have been trying to make my dynasty experience better and I hope to do so in this year’s copy of NCAA Football 12. I have come up with 8 conferences and I would like to get everyone’s input on it. I plan on adding 12 created teams to these divisions.
You’ll see the Pac 16, Big 10 (16teams), Big 16, SEC with 16 teams, ACC with 16 teams, Conference USA with 16 teams. The Big East and WAC conference both will have 12 teams. I plan on dropping the Big East as BCS qualifier, and adding Conference USA to take their spot. Please if you have any questions about any of these divisions… feel free to ask. I would like everyone’s input and any suggestions to make this a more dynamic dynasty. Thanks and I look forward to everyone’s response.

Re: NCAA football 12 Conference Alignment

I still don't understand why people do this. I prefer realistic conferences. I might make changes after 2013-2014 in my OD, but nothing too drastic. It will definitely be something realistic, though, like moving A&M and Clemson to the SEC.....

It's their game, they can do what they want with it.

Thanks for the advice. I just posted it onto that thread.

Re: NCAA football 12 Conference Alignment

That's the response I anticipated, which is cool. What I'm wondering is why? People here put so much emphasis on making the game realistic and simulating football, but then they go and cancel it out by throwing all these nonsense conferences together. Like I said, it's cool that we have that option, but I just don't understand the phenomenon.

I do this to make conference games more challenging. I do this to limit teams going undefeated. I do it because I perfer a challenge. You should do it... try it for a couple of seasons and tell me what you think.

Re: NCAA football 12 Conference Alignment

Yea I used to be all about realism too. But after all the years of playing NCAA and starting dynasties, I get bored playing the same teams every year. So this year I'm drastically changing every conference so the top 48 are in the top 4 bcs conferences and having musical chairs for new conference members the following. It will all be based on the previous year. If you have a bad year you can be kicked out. It will be interesting to see USC struggle and temple come from nowhere to be a top program while winning in the toughest conferences the conferences will be even more difficult than the sec of today

Re: NCAA football 12 Conference Alignment

I think people want to see what it would be like if they were in charge of all the conferences/NCAA and how it compares to reality. Having the game be as realistic as possible means the results will hold up more solidly on the comparison. Think you can find a way to make the Big East earn their AQ-status? Do it and test your mettle. Could the MWC hang with the other conferences (if they hadn't been blown up last season)? Do it and find out.

I think this feature is one of the coolest additions they've made to series and I think could really add to the lifespan of the game.

Re: NCAA football 12 Conference Alignment

Having the on the field play be as realistic as possible doesn't mean the result of your dynasty will be any closer to real life. Programs like USC and Bama have massive advantages over programs like Temple and when combined with the BCS itself they put a cap on how far most programs can advance. Things that happen deep into NCAA dynasties, like Houston being one of the top programs in the nation, would never happen in real life.

As for why people make drastic changes to conferences, I think it is as simple as they want something different in the game. From kick off to final whistle the pursuit of realism means there aren't going to be big changes in the game. But giving the freedom to play with conferences means a person can enact massive change from the game they have been playing for years.

Re: NCAA football 12 Conference Alignment

What was your reasoning for creating so many teams instead of just redistributing all the FBS schools?

I only plan on creating 12 teams. I created 12 in NCAA football 11 because I wanted more of a challenge. All of the created teams I created were rated an A+. Plus, I enjoy creating teams and the feature. Especially, this year I am going to recreate Southwestern U Pirates and Phillip U who were both apart of the Southwest conference years ago. So, the new Big 16 (I created) should be a fun conference to play in.
What do you think of all the conference realigments I've done... do you think I should move teams around or what?

Re: NCAA football 12 Conference Alignment

Actually had you been paying attention you would have notice the game will NOT let you do that conference alignment. All 11 conferences MUST have a minimum of 4 teams, and conferences can not be deleted also there must be at least 1 independent.

I watched a couple of videos and they said if you want everyone to be an independent you can. So, the number of conferences don't come into play. Guess, we both will find out once the game ships.
