I've been wanting to post a dynasty story for a long time now, but didn't have the time. I am starting a new career now, though, and am hoping I will have the time to keep this going. I play sports game for fun, so that will be the main focus here. If I am not having fun with this anymore, I'll try something else. The good news is that once I start a new dynasty, I generally stick with it for multiple seasons. That is the goal with this one: simple updates that cover multiple seasons of my NCAA Football 14 career. This is as much a place for me to highlight some of my favorite moments and stats as much as anything else.
I am Michigan born and bred, and though I did not attend Eastern Michigan University, I have a lot of friends who did. EMU always plays second fiddle to some of the more popular MAC schools like Western Michigan, or even Central Michigan. Eastern Michigan has not had a lot of success where the other schools in the conference may have, so it is time to change that, even if it is just in video game form.
Eastern Michigan University is less than a 15-minute drive from one of the most storied franchises in college football history (University of Michigan), and yet the football teams have always seemingly been on separate planets. I hope to move EMU up the ranks of the Mid-American Conference, and eventually gain them a higher prestige. I will play my character as realistically as possible, meaning if another, larger program offers me a shot at their school, I could potentially take it. That doesn't mean I will, and I fully plan on fulfilling at least my three-year contract with Eastern Michigan.
Here is the basic rundown of my settings:
Game: NCAA Football 14
System: Xbox 360
Rosters: Pasta Padre's from July of 2013
Difficulty: All-American on Offense, Varsity on Defense
Recruiting Difficulty:
Coaching Progression: Normal
Quarter Length: 7 minutes
Game Speed: Normal
Player Min Speed Threshold: 25
I am using a penalty set that I found on here, but I cannot give credit because I forget where I found them. They are pretty realistic, though.
I do not use any special house rules on gameplay or recruiting as I like to keep things fun for myself, but I try to play realistically each week. That said, I may make some plays that not everyone agrees with, and I am perfectly fine with that.
Because I hate playing defense, I will most likely stick to Offensive Coordinator throughout this dynast (subject to change). That said, I will only focus on the offense when posting stats and depth charts because that is what I would do if I was actually hired in as an OC. Sorry if this bothers anyone.
One final note: I will only post Top 25 Rankings every so often unless my current team is active in them.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this becomes a thread that garners some fun discussions.
