Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

[Rebel10]

So I'm in my 8th year of Dynasty, and yet again, for probably the 5th year out of 8, my top RB gets snubbed for the Heisman. I know that this is sort of realistic, that players get snubbed for the heisman a lot, but my players stats are so far and wide better than the guys who win it... we're talking like 39 total TDs versus 17 total TDs, 1800 yards from scrimmage versus 1300 (not to mention, in the final game of the season, my senior RB set the NCAA record for career yards and obliterated the career TD record). My player will then go onto win every other major award, player of the year, offensive player of the year, RB of the year, etc., but can't nab the heisman.

I first thought, early in Dynasty, it was because I was a small, non-major (team builder) school and didn't have much TV time, plus I was playing a cupcake schedule. But, now, I'm a six-star powerhouse who's been in the top 5 every season for several years, national title contender each year (though not winning it every year)...

So I've gotta ask, who has similar stories? Seems like my player will be #1 or #2 for the last few weeks and then in the final week, the 2nd or 3rd place guy will jump over him.

Re: Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

I won it pretty often with Tech (played with them for 9 years) playing 7 minute quarters. It was pretty easy putting up enough numbers to put my QB on the top of the list, if not the WR.

With Army (started with D- players) I almost won it in my 8th year. Both my QB and WR were in the top 4 but then within two games both were injured for the season. Probably would have won it the 9th year with the QB but I simmed through most of the games and played 3-4 min quarters on the rest so that I could finish up the year and move on to another school.

I won it my first year in dynasty with Oklahoma WR Ryan Broyles. Playing on Heisman and 7 minute quarters

Re: Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

Winning the heisman is easy, you just got to be diversed. For example:

With a QB - throw for over 4,000 yards, more TDs then Ints and have 300 rushing yards or more = guranteed heisman

With a RB - have a lot of rushing yards and receiving yards = guranteed heisman.

Re: Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

Yeah I think that my issue with my RBs have been that they've mostly been one dimensional: I run and score TDs with them but do not get many receiving yards. I had 2000+ yards rushing and 39 rushing TDs in one season (crushing any rushing records for a single year) and got snubbed, was first place for almost the entire season as well, only to see in the final week get second. I've finished second for the heisman 5 times, I believe, so I just wrote it off as like impossible.

Re: Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

I had two receivers win it in back to back years. But it's because not only did I pass it to them a lot (using formation subs to get them to the spots that I wanted), but I used them to run out of slot a lot, too. This was using Louisville, by the way.

Re: Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

I won the Heisman for the first time with a true sophomore WR with Florida State. Guy is a monster. Was the No. 1 overall recruit coming out of high school. As a true soph, he was a 91 overall, with 98 speed, 99 acc, 81 catch. He put up about 55 catches for 1200 yards and 17 TDs.

His redshirt freshman QB finished third in the Heisman. He tossed for 41 Tds versus 10 ints and about 3700 yards.

A guy in my dynasty had well over 3,000 rushings yds with Armando Allen....smh...

He thought he was a lock for the Heisman, but in the last week, somehow Noel Devine got it. LOL

Re: Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

I had Alshon Jeffery go off for over 2000 yards and 20+ TD's and he won it.

Blame Lattimore for getting hurt. I had nothing else. And Jeffery is almost uncoverable on deep routes.

Nope, don't really try to win one either.

Re: Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

I've gotten robbed out of it twice... First with Forcier having a 20 TDs rushing and 20 TDs passing. 3,000 yards passing. And the year after with Vincent Smith 1,800 yards 22 TDs. What I don't understand is how I can lead the Heisman voting the entire season, never let up, and lose it dramatically during the voting to players with worse stats than mine.

Re: Has anybody ever won the Heisman in Dynasty?

I ran for 3,000 and 40 something scores with Roy Helu in NCAA 09 or 10 (I don't remember) and didn't win it.

I honestly think there's a point where your stats can be so outlandish that the game won't give you the trophy. It's the only way I can explain why Helu didn't win it that year, or why Lattimore can rush for just over 2,000 and 20 TD's and get beat out by Trent Richardson and his 1,700 yards and mid-teens TD's, as happened in the first year of my South Carolina Dynasty.

Good chance they programmed it so Freshman can't win it, I guess.

Nah, i actually had a Freshman CB win it, I was excited since he was the first 5* CB I got (he was actually an athlete). Since his second position was WR, he had 80 catching. He ended the season with 32 INTs, I figured they would just stop throwing his way.

I also had a pocket passer QB win it, he didn't have many (if any) rushing yards. The key was, i spread the ball around a lot. So instead of it looking like 1 WR was doing all the work, it looked liked "this team is doing well because of this QB." But I did have my 2 starting WRs and my TE over 1,000 yds.

I've also had a WR get it too, but he was my starting WR/KR/PR.

P.S. I play on heisman and it was a teambuilder team that took forever to become a 6* school
