I agree with the OP, I have been asking for this same thing for NCAA Dynasty mode of several years now. Some people may think that this is an unfair statement, but if sliders and difficultly levels aren't enough to allow the User to making the game sufficiently challenging and House Rules become necessary, then I feel that is a major failure by the development team.

In certain situations, a rise to mediocrity should be an outstanding achievement, requiring a lot of "hard work" and some luck too. An inevitable ascension to dominance hasn't been fun for me since I was 12. One of these development teams needs to step up give us a Franchise/Dynasty challenge that doesn't come with an Easy button.
