Do players progress during the season with LTP1?

It is generally easy to bring the school you are controlling out of the dumps but the cpu does not seem to know how. Having a static universe where everyone stays generally the same does not really make for a great or interesting number of years.

As for the ratings still being lower than the ones the game starts with - why are the prospects still not very good? If the games default rosters make for the best play, why not strive to keep them that way? there is no question that recruits will never be as good as the default.

Playing dynasty mode which is essentially an RPG is hard to get into when as you play you are regressing instead of progressing for years - even if you are actually winning. Would anyone want to play something that, as you keep going to the next level, your hero/group/team declines in stats? They actually lose abilities?

We seem to be...

I personally think it will be fine for people that love dynasty mode, and get into dynasty mode a couple years in. The ratings work well. How many "A teams" in terms of skill/talent are in NCAA anyways? I wouldn't say any more than 3 in any given season anyways.

It's just unfortunate the default rosters are juiced so much.

I agree with you here, but I'm 6 seasons in and the best team rating is a B+, I have 0 A teams anymore.

How often to the Middle Tennessee States and Western Kentuckys rise to relevance? The basic complain here is that the bad teams stay bad.

That's how it is in college football. I think most of the complaints come from people who just play the game and not watch the game. If in year 20, New Mexico State is 3-9 with a 65 overall starting Senior QB...what's the problem?

The problem is that they stay bad but they get worse. If you check the scores in as you play through the years, you will see even mediocre teams constantly losing to the FCS teams. This is because the yare all dipping below - far below - the level of "bad" they started at and should at least stay at.

Don't you think it still evens out though?


My team is a B-, and I have 8 players that are 86+, and 2 players that are 90+. My team rating might be lower than I would think, but there is still playmakers on my team.

Keep shaking your head you clown.

Does anyone else know if the players progress in season as well as during the offseason?

Before LTP1 they did not progress during the season.

They might, but you can't see it on the edit roster menu.

when I simmed 6 seasons(with the new tuner file) I had 6 teams A- or better(1 team was an A).

Re: NCAA Football 11 Live Tuning Pack 1, Available Now

well, it looks like it still needs some work. But it's a start...

Re: NCAA Football 11 Live Tuning Pack 1, Available Now

definitely better. I was expecting only MINOR changes so I can say I'm satisfied, but unfortunately, it looks like there are people who wanted VAST changes.

I'd prefer it the way it was done. These things can continue to be tuned as the weeks and months progress, but it's a decent start.

I think we can all agree that this season's is better than last year's issue. Sure, we may need more tuning, but I'll gladly accept what we've got.

For those saying, "well I'm going to Madden now", well, it's not like Madden doesn't have issues as well. But I guess it's hard to please everyone.

Nice! I'm liking some of the varied results. That's pretty cool to see.

That's it! I'm starting my offline dynasty tonight!

Thanks for simming and posting results guys (Solidice )

Tuning Set broke the game... Tom Savage of Rutgers just won the heisman. :wink:

If you haven't realized that this is a joke yet even with the winking smiley face I pity you.

I'm liking the improved 2* prospect ratings only have come across one inthe 40s. Still plenty of low 50s ratings though.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Live Tuning Pack 1, Available Now

What a surprise, another question......I know it wasnt mentioned in the blog, but did it happen to fix anything with how the CPU rosters were reorganized for the depth charts during or after the season? I read somewhere that during gameplay a QB was playing CB or a TE would be subbed in to play as a DE? Please tell me that was fixed for those of you that have simmed or made progress with the new Tuner package...a simple yes or no if anyone knows.
