NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

Re: NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

I've said it in 3 different threads on the Dynasty topic:

Post patch, the recruits, recruiting and CPU logic was close to perfect in NCAA 10.

Why did they screw with it?

Re: NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

This is why I want someone with Madden to import NCAA draft classes from about 2016 so we can see if the players are bad. If Madden upscales the players it will be fine, I just don't want to see the 3rd round and later rookies to get the shaft because they aren't leaving college at a high enough OVR.

Plus to see if the speed issues were fixed.

Re: NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

Perhaps an answer...

I can't even play offline dynasty anymore. I have played offline dynasty like crazy on this game forever. But recruiting is SO SLOW if you want to do it correctly and that's the only way I can do it. It gets to be so tedious. It doesn't help the fact that all the menus within recruiting are incredibly laggy and slow. The idea of the recruit phone call is great, but it just gets so repetitive.

Why change up dynasty? Because it has been the same mode for a while. Chris makes a great point. Who are you in dynasty mode? It should be a coach mode. I could go on about the coaching carousel aspect that has been beat like a dead horse, but that is what NEEDS to happen. Just like that article says. It would make dynasty mode an excellent, refreshed mode.

+1, i wasted many a hours playing offline dynasty back when it was addictive as hell on the ps1 and ps2. however, in it's current incarnation, dynasty mode is boooring! it's a feeling of a disconnect that comes from a few factors: recruiting has been refined for the worse and needs to be streamlined, aspects that were on the ps2-differing recruiting budgets, a spring game, med redshirts, player discipline, in-season progression, etc. have not been added to the current gen mode, and the lack of a coach mode (not like ingame coach mode, carousel style) gives no reason to play an offline dynasty longer that a year or 2. add to it the abomination that is the progression/recruit ratings issue, and the former bread and butter of ncaa is no longer playable.

1) What grown man with any type of personal life has the time to play 8-25 years in dynasty mode?

Do you actually think people play every single game?
Man the things I wish I could say to you...

2) This problem needs to be fixed hands down.

3) EA would do themselves a great service and take a very close look at hiow 2k implimented dynasty mode into their game...from recruiting to recruit ratings.

4) I guess until this is patched the only thing a hardcore gamer can do do is to create a max number of create-a-recruits

are we talking bout 2k's College Hoops team? or the team of developers that made those atrocious dreamcast college football games?

Re: NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

Is everybody gonna have to quit their online dynasties now? I mean there's no point in continuing when we all know what will happen.

Do all of these problems apply just for online dynasty or is it for both online or offline? I assume it applies to both

[ForceOfPhilly]

Glad I didn't get this game, and I won't until a patch is made. EA was okay in my opinion, but now it's starting to lose it. It used to have great games, now it's stripped down it's games to make them boring and sloppy. I don't know what they're thinking.

Can somebody tell me what this revolution thing is? Taking over EA sports or something?

Re: NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

Been asking for a Coaching Carousel for years now to no avail. Dynasty Mode is quite bland and boring without it. I agree that the mode needs a drastic overhaul.

Hopefully part of that overhaul is a true Coach Mode or AD Mode.

Re: NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

I'll just echo what I've said in the other progression/dynasty threads...

MMChris is more on topic with the real issue, it's a problem with ratings of incoming recruits.

The progression system may be a great thing but it can't showcase it's talent because the ratings of incoming recruits are too low.


Of course it could be fixed with progression, but players should not be coming in with the low ratings they have. And, players don't progress that much from year to year.

This is a ratings issue, not progression.

I'm referring to their basketball developers. They give the user the option to go in and edit rosters at any given moment. In their ratings system they give recruits and players a grade for "potential" so thta you will have an idea about how much they will progress over a career. They had a system in 2k5 I believe where recruits could actually get in touch with you, the coach by e-mail to try and get a visit. Recruits could come to your school on unofficial visits. You could go to a recruits high school game...and actually play the game as him if you wanted. The cool thing was they had it so perfect that if you were recruiting a 7'0, he was more than likely the tallest player on the floor and the center on the other team was 6'3 just like real life. They got so many things right with their dynasty modes man.

I agree, CHoops recruiting was awesome, 2k8 in general was awesome.

Re: NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

After playing the game this past week I came into work today thinking this was the best game of all time. After reading all the progression threads Im not sure if life is worth living anymore lol

This might be the funniest post I've ever read!

Re: NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

Here is how EA should handle this. Allow us to edit ALL players attributes for every year. That way the one's who are fine with it is ok, and the one's who hate it can edit.

Problem solved.

Yes, problem solved. I love the idea of manually editing hundreds of players myself, because EA screwed up something as basic as player progression.
