Re: Dynasty Phone Call Video (EA Sports)

Very cool. Much, much improved over the previous system. Recruiting is actually gonna be enjoyable this time around.

I am so excited for NCAA 11!

Re: Dynasty Phone Call Video (EA Sports)

I have no idea why but I always react negatively to Ben. Hasnt ever done anything to me, just seems like someone I wouldnt get along with IRL Also notice he didn't say anything about FSU's academics! lol

OT: looks cool. It will probably get old at some point but is def an improvement.

Re: Dynasty Phone Call Video (EA Sports)

This looks good so far, I like how the point system is visible, so you can pinpoint where you stack up against competing schools.

The point system sounds cheesy. I was hoping it tied into Coaching Carousel. As is it just not realistic ,but everything else is better.

Yeah I could do without the points being visible...the vague meter got the job done and left some sense of realism still there. Recruiting should not be presented as a mathematical equation to the user (even though I know it is a math equation on the back-end of the game).

Re: Dynasty Phone Call Video (EA Sports)

Interesting. They took alot of control away from the user with this system. Topics are now chosen at random which seems weird. I liked the idea that i could dictate the conversation. I'm warming up to the points system. Gives you a better idea about how hard other schools are recruiting that same kid, just not sure how realistic that is.

I don't think having points is that stark. At the end of the day, I can't use the points to know exactly what I need to do. After all, not only am I gaining points, but but the CPU can recruit against me (even stealing points away from me). So even if I gain 200 points, if three CPU opponents all recruited against me and each got 75 points, I would be down 25 points in total. So while you see the points gained, they still don't present a "mathematical view" of exactly how I'm doing in recruiting.

True, this is a good way to look at it. In the end, I won't know how I feel about it until I actually get into it myself, so we'll see.

Re: Dynasty Phone Call Video (EA Sports)

I like it. It should a lot of fun stealing recruits from other schools.

Re: Dynasty Phone Call Video (EA Sports)

It looks cool but... it seems that they just rearrange the screens and recruiting ideas from the last 3 or 4 years. Its really never anything new to make the off-season exciting. At the end of the day I know Ill just end up simulating the whole off-season.

Re: Dynasty Phone Call Video (EA Sports)

I think schools need to be knocked down in ratings. Only schools that should be A or A+ in academics should be schools like...

Stanford
Notre Dame
Northwestern
Cal
Vanderbilt
UCLA
Virginia
Michigan
USC
Ga Tech
Baylor
UNC

etc....

Re: Dynasty Phone Call Video (EA Sports)

I dont know if USC belongs on that list. The other Cali universities you mentioned are FAR better, esp Cal and Stanford.
