How will you use player editing in dynasty?

[White Out]

I think a great aspect of player editing in a dynasty is making the NCAA world you live and play in that much more interesting. Here are some ways I plan on using it to spice things up, how will you use it?

• If I'm a team like Kentucky, it will allow me to keep Louisville competitive and make our rivalry games that much more meaningful
• You can fix the weird acceleration and other random weirdness for incoming freshman (like WR's who are 5"6)
• Create a break out sensation for a mid major program. For example, make Fresno States' 3rd string 2nd year QB a sudden high impact player who might win a Heisman.
• Trim perennial powerhouses who seem to recruit too well regardless of their years. Sick of Ohio State or Alabama? Eff em. Bring em down to size. If you choose.

Perhaps my favourite planned change will be "studs and duds". How I plan on doing it is once recruiting is done, I will randomly (thru rolling a dice, or a random number generator online) make 1, 2 or 3 players from each star rating a stud or a dud. So I'd make a few 5 star players duds, some 4 star players 5 star studs, a few duds, and so on. By using a random number generator you can expose yourself to this lottery, and as long as your honest with yourself it can make things that much more awesome.

I can't wait. I love this feature. Let's hear some more ideas.

Re: How will you use player editing in dynasty?

I only plan to use it to update those players that come outta nowhere and are playing great in real life "after" I've already started my season.

Example:

Last year Cam Newton comes out of nowhere and becomes the best player in the country. But in my season he wasn't good at all. Because his initial ratings were so low.

Well, I wasn't controlling Auburn so I couldn't do anything to change him.

I'm hoping to use this new feature to keep my recruiting classes accurate. This way the game always has "real" players in the game and I can also make sure they go to the right school.

But what happens when you are in season 2? Or on down the line when they are all fantasy players? How do players come out of nowhere... or do you have a crystal ball I can borrow.

Edit my conf year to year.. All the teams I play will get the right ratings the 1st season ( Plan on using Mich and lowering a lot of ratings)

Give running QB's the right ratings so playing true running teams will be hard

Re: How will you use player editing in dynasty?

i will honestly probably use it more on other teams to make it more challenging for me.

besides that, i will probably be helping players from other teams who had a great season but were rewarded with only 2 or 3 points overall points.

Ex. If some runningback (especially from a smaller school) rushes for over 1000 yards and an average of at least 4.5 yds per carry, and his overall goes from being a 68 to a 70, i will likely go and make him a 80, depending on how good he does, could be higher or lower.

I don't play multiple seasons.

I can only speak for how I play homie.

Re: How will you use player editing in dynasty?

I'm thinking about doing a random drawing for every recruiting class of mine to pick a three star guy out of the bunch who will become a badass. And also doing it to pick out a 4 or 5 star guy who is going to suck and become a bust.

Re: How will you use player editing in dynasty?

Im all for rebuilding projects, but if my team has like 4 straight horrible seasons ill boost up some of my players so we can be more competitive next year or if i have a stud LB whose ony a 66 OVR ill move him up to like a 72. Also if its like last year, ill boost my kickers ratings once im in year 2015ish.

Re: How will you use player editing in dynasty?

I'll probably do a survey around college football and upgrade some of the 2-3 star guys. Maybe edit some guys into breakout players for other teams as well. Also, change positions of some guys on other teams to fill out their roster better. I'll also change player numbers on other teams to reflect numbering in real college football better, where you see guys playing all over the field with non-traditional numbers to their position (i.e. a RB wearing #6, DB wearing #13, etc...). Won't do too much rating editing for my own team, just weight adjustments to reflect the fact that these players are training at a high level and are going to gain quite a bit of weight over their careers.

If someone gets injured early I will edit him back a year as a medical redshirt

Good call on the medical redshirt.

Do we know if we can change that in dynasty? What is to stop someone from having someone play 4 seasons and resetting him back to a freshman to have him 4 more years? Seems like that could cause issues with stats

Re: How will you use player editing in dynasty?

-medical redshirts.
-randomly pick some 2* or 3* recruits (before they have signed to a school) to be "diamonds in the rough." i'll edit their ratings after they sign to be better than they are.
-edit ratings of players that are way better than their ratings indicate who have break out years irl (cam newton).
-fix height/weight issues.
-if the cpu recruiting is broken (not recruiting to fit their style) then i will edit certain recruits to be better in certain areas (no more oregon recruiting 50 speed qbs).

can't think of anymore right now..

Re: How will you use player editing in dynasty?

I'm going to use it if a spread option or triple option team has all pocket passers on their depth chart at quarterback. I'll edit one or maybe two and make them scrambling qbs, so that team has at least a fighting chance to run their offense successfully.
