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

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

Wow, reading this stuff makes it incredibly difficult to wait for a patch. I had no idea depth charts could get this bad.. IMO that's a gamekiller. I may trade this in while it still has value. I think I'll give EA another week or two before my copy heads back to the store.

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

Blah, this is annoying.... what year do you guys start seeing this... or when does it become noticeable?


I doubt I'll ever get to year 10 of my Dynasty... but maaaybe year 5 and if it sucks, then I'll have no motivation to move forward.


If there is a patch, will I have to restart my dynasty? Does EA even know about this? They'll probably patch up a bunch of small crap instead....

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

That is only in year 3 though. There are still some kickers from the default rosters left. The problems people have reported start after all the default roster players are gone.

I keep on seeing people say "I am year 2 or 3 and I don't see any problems." That is because they don't start showing up until all the default players are gone.

Yeah, people don't realize that because the initial roster ratings are so high generated recruits wouldn't possibly start until year 3 at the earliest, more likely year 4.

It doesn't, I left mine at vasity, and it's the same as AA and Heisman, only it's easier for the player.

Recruiting difficulty has nothing to do with recruit ratings. The only thing it affects is the # of times you can change the topic.

EA has spoken!!! I just read this and I feel better about the problems.

lol no... All of my stuff was just based off a sim. However, there are people that spend a disgusting amount of time on these games over the course of a year. Blogging about dynastys, setting up the blogs recoding stats for years and such. And, before I am willing to jump into that world, I always sim ahead at least 5-10 years to make sure that all the parts of the car are working properly. Nothing like getting half way to Wally World and realizing that your car's brakes and transmission don't work and all that effort was wasted.

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

So a fix is ludacris? What do you want man? For it to be right in the first place?

BREAKING NEWS! THIS JUST IN! It's a little late for that.

Let's send them a petition or a letter. Get one of the OS contacts to try and get an update. Perhaps strike up a boycott of their products. Doing that would be productive, our ranting is not.

eh...I don't see how giving the ability to fix players from 120 teams every season is a "fix" of any kind.

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

Reading through most of the thread this morning, I really agree with the point about the game being legitatmley fun this year. It's probably the most fun I've had in a NCAA game for a long while. Of course the irony is that the dynasty mode is unplayable after a few years. Still I'm hoping that this is something that the tuner set can fix next week, or the big patch the week after.


Checking the calendar, the patch should hit around the same time Madden 11 comes out. While I'll probably still play NCAA a bit, a lot of people will give up the game(especially if it's still screwed up dynasty wise) and just move onto Madden.

That's pretty much where I stand. I haven't bought NCAA 11 yet. And based on what I've read, I'm very glad I waited. If they don't fix this problem with dynasty, then I will just skip this game and pick up Madden.

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

Hi, I simmed 10 seasons ahead with Idaho to 2020. I had a 56 rated QB, a 62 rated WR, and a 57 RB... also had a 58 CB and a 57 OLB. Other than that, everyone was below 55. My kicker was 44. I played Fresno State, who weirdly enough had some decent players (had an 81 corner, a few 70s, about five 60s, and then 50s). Gameplay was atrocious. I lost the game 18-13. In terms of field goals, the computer missed EVERY extra point. I'm a very good field goal kicker, in Madden I can routinely hit 55+ FGs and in NCAA, I can make the 50 yarders (depending on my kicker), but I missed a 36 yard field goal for the first time in my life. I got full power, and it fell short of the crossbar - that was depressing. Also had an XP blocked, which was weird. My QB was missing passes everywhere. His final line was 5/21, 1 TD, 4 INT. However, he probably missed about 8 of those. The rest were these wide open drops by my wide receivers. And then of course, when they did catch it, they ran slower than the defensive ends. The running game was better, my main RB had 11 carries for 46 yards, and surprisingly didn't have a fumble. But I had to pass a fair amount because I was down.
