Some of you guys are making the implementation of a Coaching Carousel sound waaaaaaaaaaaaay more complicated than it is.

College Hoops 2k series did it..and did it extremely well.

"Well, what good is it if you don't have the real coaches?"....because you can EDIT THE COACHES.

Just like the roster, you can edit all the coaches to be the real coaches with real coaching tendencies then save the file. It's already been DONE on College Hoops 2k8.

Exactly, plus we could potentially share this file in the same manner as rosters via EA Locker.

I think people are also oversimplifying the coaching carousel and making it sound simpler (and more boring) than it truly can be. In CH2k8 you also had assistant coaches, and you had to think about what coach was your 'teacher', your 'scout' and your 'recruiter'. The coaches abilities had a real impact both on and off the court. I'll never be fully satisfied with an NCAA football game again, until they allow us to at least have a game mode where this is important. Dynasty has been boring for years because all they ever do is TWEAK the recruiting system (with one major overhaul in recent memory).

As great as that blog was, if GT still recruits Mallet's and Brohm's as QB's it will take away from recruiting.

How are they going to implement assisted tackles? Better not be like Madden where they have two seperate catagories....ADD THEM TOGETHER DAMN IT!!!!!

they did say that franchise news is not done....and I know they mentioned online dynasty, but I bet money there is still more to offline to be revealed. They usually use E3 to release the bigger news.

CH2K8 should definitely be the starting model for any kind of coaching carousel. It was extremely well done, and like you and a couple of others have said, not overly complicated. Anyone interested in the coaching carousel idea but not familiar with CH2K8 should check it out. You will be sold after doing so.

Head coaches and assistant coaches were fully editable and the head coaches were pretty much modeled after their real counterparts. These edits were part of the regular roster file, so it was very simple to keep up with.

CPU head coaches got fired, retired, accepted college HC jobs to better programs, accepted lesser HC jobs after getting fired. It's pretty realistic. All this had a trickle down affect that led to you getting opportunities and even assistant coaches getting HC jobs. There was a logical heirarchy to the promotional system. You couldn't go from say Marist straight to UConn. You had to work your way up at least a step or two. About the only thing it didn't have was head coaches leaving for jobs in the NBA.

For those that like the more realistic approach to working your way up in the coaching ranks, this is definitely a huge feature. Even those that aren't into that all that much could definitey appreciate this feature if they saw how CH2K8 did it.

I have wanted this option in the EA games for since I saw and played with the CH2K8. It was very well done and, hopefully, will be included this year.

It was the most realistic type of gameplay I have ever played. You had to start at a smaller school and work your way up. And choosing which schools to go to our pass up made it even more realistic.

I agree with you, if you guys don't know what we are talking about...rent that game and you will find out and will love it and know exactly why people want it included.

From my understanding the way CH2K8 did it was you controlled the coach. I believe from what I read in the survey the Coaching Carousel proposed in NCAA Football 11 would be the user controlling the school and the coach being independent. So in theory you'd be the AD and you'd be at the mercy of the coaches leaving, instead of the way CH2K8 did it where the AD's were at the mercy of the user.

Either way...without more additions to offline dynasty, this game will fall short for those of us who don't care about online improvements.

How right you are on this because as of all the talk on this site it alone should let EA know this is needed to put this game over the top and make this game the best Ncaa game to date.

Why can't they use real coaches?I mean it's not like the players. Theire not amateurs, and are getting payed for what they do. So you would think that the ability to use real coach names would come with the NCAA license.

That too would be cool. And I assume if the coach is doing awful, you have the right to fire him. And on the flip side, if he is doing great than he may leave.

If that is the case then I will be enjoying NCAA Football '11!
