    NCAA 12 "I need a team" topic

    There's always a few of these every year. Myself included. Being Canadian I have no hometown/state allegiance and barely get to watch.

    I want flash and trickery. I've used Vanderbuilt,UL Lafayette,San Jose State and Cal so far this gen so take them out. Not that anyone would suggest them anyway,well maybe Cal.

    Baylor has that great QB and being a 49ers fan Washington might be a nice pick but other than that I don't have any idea.

    Since you've used a Sun Belt team before, I'll suggest - Arkansas State

    Why? Ryan Aplin was a top 10 passer in yards in 2010. Derek Johnson should be on the field this year (a top recruit from 09 transfered from Texas this past year) and new coach, Hugh Freeze, took ASU from being in the bottom 10 in total offense up to the top half of the nation as their OC.

    Roster - C+
    Schedule - B (unless you change it)

      Sounds like you prefer lower rated team, and building them up.

      If you want to build up a small school, then your looking for a Sunbelt or MAC team, a few MWC and WAC teams to.

      If looking for a big time conference team that needs to be built up..

      SEC - Kentucky, Ole Miss, Miss State
      Big Ten - Indiana, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, Minnesota
      Big 12 - Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State
      Pac-12 - Colorado, Washington State, Possibly both Arizona schools
      ACC - Duke, Wake Forest, Virginia, NC State
      Big East - IDK... in 2011 they were all pretty even.

      The following link has NCAA 2011 info for each team (like playbook, run/pass%) It should be close to what 2012 will be, with the exception of teams with new coaches.

      Maryland

      Georgia

      College Basketball
      Maryland
      Georgetown

      NFL
      Washington Redskins
      Atlanta Falcons
      Baltimore Ravens

        By that list of teams, it seems like you don't go for the stacked teams like the Alabama's on the game. If you're doing a dynasty, I'd look at one of the schools that just changed conferences. Now, when I say that Colorado comes to mind. Maybe not the best team possible but they have a fresh new start in the Pac-12. That, and the new Colorado intro with the bull running looks extremely awesome. If you're looking for a mid-major school I'd try Northern Illinois.

          Rutgers should be pretty fun.

          A stable of WRs that all could be ALL BIG EAST, one of the most highly decorated HS QBs coming back off his Freshman campaign, a Top 5 Freshman HB comes in and most likely will start from day 1.

          We switched to the Pro Style, but we are sprinkling in some random things such as the Pistol.

          Defense emphasizes speed over size, very aggressive, lots of movement and blitzing.

            San Diego State University:
            -A mediocre team with high potential
            -A decent Conference (MWC)
            -Pretty good Pitches
            -A good stadium that allows you to take advantae of dynamic attendance

              I suggest Utah. There a fun team to build up and wouldnt be an unrealistic power type school judging from there past (undefeated seasons, #1 draft pick, beating Alabama etc). Plus now in the pac 12 the competition for them is going to be harder so will take a lil longer to build them up.

                South Carolina Gamecocks. 2010 SEC East Champs! Our RB (#21) and WR (#1) in the game will be beastly.

                  From the list of schools, I think you definitely enjoy a challenge, but prefer a school that appears to be near a recruiting hub (Texas, California, Florida, etc.) With many of those schools, it doesn't look like you need to have a particular skill set from your team.

                  I'd recommend Temple, sweet uniforms and a really challenging conference to escape from. Regional rivalries with some really powerful teams (Penn State & Pitt)

                  Tulsa would be another team I'd recommend. Solid uniforms with a crazy yellow alternate uniform set. Another team with strong ties kids from Texas and you can build regional rivals from tons of teams (TCU, SMU, Okie State and when you're solid enough... Texas and Oklahoma)

                    Im looking for a One star team that has a decent passing game. Im thinking maybe Akron, UL Lafayette or San Diego state (If they are still a 1star)

                      If you are looking for a small school, I'd suggest Arkansas State. They are a good small school to use. I ran a dynasty with them last year and plan on doing another one this year.
                      If you are looking for a school with lots of tradition but has struggled recently and won't be too easy, then you should consider Tennessee. They are extremely young and have a lot of talent, especially on offense. QB Tyler Bray,WR Justin Hunter, WR Da'Rick Rogers, WR Matt Milton, and 4 of 5 starting OL are either freshmen or sophmores.

                        Missouri. Great uniform combos (including Pro Combats) to keep it fresh; they run a flashy, effective offense, and the challenge factor is there being in the same conference as Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M

                        If you're not feeling them, I'd recommend

                        Arizona
                        Arizona State
                        Houston
                        Washington
                        Southern Mississippi
                        North Carolina
                        Duke
                        Middle Tennessee
                        Boston College (I assume you are a Red Sox fan)

                          As for the SEC, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Mississippi State are the LEAST respected in the conference and are always expected to flop. These are the gimme games.


                          As an SEC fan myself, I'd wanna add to the conference, maybe bring in USF or UCF and build them up and get them off to a roaring start in the SEC.

                            I took Vandy because of the staduim,UL because they had the best cheerleaders in the background and San Jose State because of the logo.

                            Is Georgia Tech still good? They had a ton of flash and trickery last year but there wasn't much in the passing game. I remember playing as them to get the achievement for using all different types of schemes.

                              Option playbooks (Which is what GT runs) are difficult to run, atleast in the past. I would not suggest them unless they do some major tweaking or are highly skilled with that type of offense.
