I haven't played dynasty mode yet, but I can tell you the gameplay is very good in rivalry games, and overall better than years past.

I have heard that progression has been toned down, and that recruiting is more challenging.

For more reliable impressions, I would go to the retail impressions at the top, and read through that a bit. There's some good insight there. Overall, I'd reccommend getting the game in your case.
