With my capture card coming in the mail shortly, I've decided it was time for me to start writing on a new report. Real life and other personal issues got the best of my previous coaching dynasty, but with the new hardware I thought, why not start anew.
As I own both NCAA '14 and Madden 25 for the PS3, this project will have the following objective : to bring the character of Tommy Jacobs, a fictional quarterback from the state of Minnesota, all the way through his college and hopefully NFL career. I will split that into separate "acts" as such :
- High school senior year (played via NCAA's RTG mode) ;
- College career, in which I will create Jacobs and assign him to the school he'll have chosen in RTG, and play as him in NCAA's Dynasty mode ;
- Pro career, I will simulate the seasons in Madden 25 until Jacobs gets drafted (or not), then play as him with the club he'll be playing for.
As I get limited playing time though, don't expect this story to go on quickly. One thing that I think went wrong on my earlier dynasty was that I was playing too many games too quickly, and ended up running short on stories. I was making up things on the go, but it would sometimes take many in-game weeks for a story to unfold, and I think it detracted from the overall feel. I intend to take more time between actual game updates this time, so things will be able to happen in between.
I want to first say thanks to guys like Deegeezy, Tearz49ers, Cheese2121 and djp73, among MANY others, whose work inspire others as myself to write these things. There will likely be ideas in the story that you might recognize from others, I've done quite a bit of a read before posting this, and noted many ideas that I would like to implement, so I hope people will not get too offended by me using some of their ideas. I'll look into making them work as personal as possible to Jacobs' character.
I intend to write about the games mainly, with some interviews here and there to go a bit inside Tommy's character. Tommy's own thoughts and realizations should primarily be through his (fictional) Twitter account, but feel free to ask anything about him, as I do have some bits of background info that help me drive his character. As for the moment, I don't plan on doing any narrative as Tommy himself, other than his occasional tweets. It is not set in stone however, and I may include that at a later time.
Cheers !
