Twelve Ways to Improve Dynasty Mode

Re: Twelve Ways to Improve Dynasty Mode

Adding some of these things might be great, but without working sliders, accurate rosters, and improved AI we would still have a broken game.....but with more features. Isn't that where we are at right now?

DON'T ENCOURAGE EA TO ADD MORE FEATURES!!!!!!!!! ENCOURAGE THEM TO FIX THE CORE GAMEPLAY!

Too many people on here are complaining that the problem is that EA isn't fixing the core gameplay and are just adding features. Why for the love of God do we have articles encouraging this exact behavior? It really blows my mind, it really does.

This isn't a new feature, it's fixing/adding to a current feature which I'm personally fine with and wish would happen. You can fix gameplay and improve/add to features you have in the game already, look at Madden this year.

I totally agree, the problem is EA for whatever reason isn't doing both with the NCAA series.

To me, the game plays good enough. It's video game football.

But recruiting is the core of college football. If you are a small program, you need money to recruit. To do that, you need to schedule games against powerhouses and get pummeled. With more money, you can recruit more.

The budget idea is money. Pardon the pun.

Idk about this really. I like making dynasties where I dont have to focus so much on being the head coach, and maybe its just because im used to it, but, I like being that wierd "force" that controls what happens in the football program, controlling the coach when necessary and controlling the players when necessary.

Dynasty Mode is perfect. I hope they don't change a thing.

Re: Twelve Ways to Improve Dynasty Mode

Good read. One thing I've always wanted was for dynasty to focus more on the coaches and school than the players, kinda similar to the 2k college hoops games.

Can we please bring back player discipline? I loved how in past NCAA games if one of your players got him self into trouble you had the option of disciplining said player. I wonder why they would get rid of that feature. They could have bult on it and made it better with time. I also never understood why they gave you a set amount of discipline points to work with either. But that's the one feature I wish they'd bring back.

Re: Twelve Ways to Improve Dynasty Mode

I absolutely love 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The rest I don't really care much for.

Is it even possible to include a real coaching market? Is there a college coaches association that can be paid off or something?

I like your wishlist. The more RPG-ish it gets - the better IMO. I like the strategy, the checks and balances.

Make mine the "simple" dynasty mode. All the stuff we have to do now with recruiting and the off-season and pre-season activities are time-consuming enough as it is. Having to do much more than that would be a nightmare.

[RamzaLugria]

You have some great ideas there...
My take is that NCAA needs (badly) an overhaul next year. Both NHL and FIFA have done this recently with great results.
I would base it off College Hoops 2K, alot of what we are talking about they had before its untimely demise, they had a lot of great features in Legacy mode.

Re: Twelve Ways to Improve Dynasty Mode

I made a list of my own that I posted HERE.

Hope you guys enjoy.

it would be awesome to be able to upgrade certain facilities like the Stadium, Weight Room, Practice Field, Etc. depending upon how much money your school is making via the football program Also throw in a Tim Tebow every once and a while the recruiting seems to have set rating if i get the #1 recruit he seems to always be 84-86 why not have an immediate superstar once upon a lucky day and ADD POTENTIAL i'm sick of no one under a 5 star rating turning out great where are the Steven Jacksons, Steve Smith's, and other 3 stars that turn into amazing players

Re: Twelve Ways to Improve Dynasty Mode

Some great ideas here. I personally would be content to see FCS, editable playbooks, formation subs, and pre/post game show back. Add those to 2010 and I will never leave the couch

Now, one thing to keep in mind is that we must be careful what we wish for. A.D. Mode sounds interesting but if you take away my abilities to schedule whatever team I want and where, that will have a negative impact on my gaming experience. I want to see more in-depth dynasty BUT I don't want to lose any abilities I currently have. Coaching carousels, and stadium editors are excellent, but don't take away the power for me to formulate my "perfect" schedule. Just my 2 cents...

OC/DC is somthing i wished for in the last 2 wishlist...but still nothing...some of these points written are valid...but one thing I hate EA for doing is removing the amount of coach options that were in the game...seriously...what happen to the digital coaches...I loved seen my coach get mad because of a stupid play...there are so manythings that need to be fixed with this game its not even funny...lets hope this years wishlist they start working on now...
