    Bought!

    Cool addition but no deal breaker. Plus....the gameplay and presentation upgrades more than make up for that.

      For me Custom Playbooks would add years to Dynasty for NCAA, but not really for Madden. If you put it in perspective, Dynasty mode is more of a Heach Coach mode and Madden is more of a Owner mode. Since in Dynasty mode you are playing as a new coach rather than the owner, the abilty to be a Offensive Head Coach or a Defensive Head Coach is great. I dont think you can edit or create coaches(not talking about philosophy). I am not the type to change how they call plays. I like the ability to edit/create coaches in NCAA. I think they will have it like in NCAA Basketball, where it shows the coaches(but only in cutscenes).
      So if CC is in and is not half-***ed, It will make it an elite game.

        Agreed 100%.

        Very few games get into my "elite" range and NCAA 11 put the series in the right direction but NCAA 12 could put it over the top

            what is a coaching carousel?
            My score for Madden 13: 4.5/10

            3 points for graphics, 1 point for the passable commentary, and a half point for the boxart. I can give no further points since the all over the place gameplay would ruin it anyway.

              Yes, NCAA is a first day buy every year no matter what.

              Madden used to be, but now i still get it every year, but i am in no rush to get it. I just pick it up when ever i make it to a store.

I'll deal without the pretty stuff with NCAA 11 because without the CC, it's basically the same game, no matter what else they say or do to gameplay. This is something that should have been in before. If they make an announcement about it, I will preorder immediately. But until then, it's a no go. That is a great disappointment because I have bought NCAA football every year since 98 but I guess my financial situation just makes it unnecessary if it's not worth it.
                  This.
                  After playing College hoops 2k8 I can't go back to a bare bones dynasty mode. Even with upgrades in other areas. I Feel A full Coaching carousel with coach ratings and coaching staffs is a must for a good dynasty experience.

                  I'm of the opinion that gameplay will not get much better than we have now on current gen. So a deep dynasty mode(with CC) is the only way I Will really enjoy this game.

                  Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the improvements all around. But College hoops 2k8 set the bar very high, and I don't think I'll buy unless A Good CC is implemented.

It will be a huge disappointment if it isn't in the game. I'd feel like the development team basically said to hell with offline dynasty because I don't feel the franchise can continue until something is done about dynasty longevity. Offline dynasties become rather dull and boring after 5-6 years. The teams who start off with good rosters are the best teams. The teams that start off with weak rosters are awful. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. That needs to change.
                    This is a good point as well In terms of taking dynasty to the next level. A Full on CC
                    with Assistants(Just coordinators is fine) adds so much to your dynasty. You can play many years into your dynasty because its an ever changing world.

                    Saban retires after 6 or so years, a new coach steps in at bama and brings the spread.
                    doesn't work out so well and they fall back to mediocrity. Or the Boise St. Coach takes The job at Colorado and takes them to national prominence. Imagine this through out the college football world. It would be ever changing, never getting stale. Makes my head spin with excitement.

                    We have had basically the same dynasty mode for some time now, I feel like Coaching carousel has to be in for a full enjoyable, dynamic experience. anything less would be a disapointment.

                      CC is crucial for me. It will totally add to the dynasty immersion.

                        Yes. I don't care one iota about a coaching carousel.

                          Alright, I would love to see CC so this next comment is just a thought of why they haven't given it to us yet.

                          - The devolopers know that if they throw in CC at full force, with coordinators and coaches flopping to other schools taking their style of play with them, that this game would be at a stalemate. All they could do every year is add improvements to gameplay. So you have to think yes I want CC, and it would probably be my last NCAA game to buy for 3-5 years if they added that, because I would run a 30 year dynasty if they had that and there would be no use of buying a new NCAA title until you ran your 30 years up once or twice, and they had added a few years of improvements to the games.

                          Thats just my opinion but I think that is one main reason they are slow playing adding CC

                            I highly doubt that. This game is very far from perfect. Everything we have seen up to now plus the addition of a CC would not be the perfect NCAA. There are 100's of things they can add to the game after a CC to still make it feel new.

                              True, I wasn't saying it would be perfect, but alot of people would spend more time playing one title, rather than buying one every year. I buy them every year but I mean CHoops2k8 is about 5 years old and I still play it and never even looked into buying any of the EA Cbball games, due to its got so much depth.

                                The main reason you play choop2k8 is because there was no choops 2k9.
