Re: game informer

The ability to recruit, sim, and advance weeks basically gives you a PC game...to go along with the console game.

I don't see an issue with them charging for that. Especially since you can still have an OD without using those options. I can see why people would get mad, but I can see why they are charging for it, for sure.

Re: game informer

Being an OD commish, why should I have to pay 3 bucks just to advance on the web? Flat out joke. I don't mind the charging to host more than one, because it takes up space on their server (still shouldn't have to, but it's understandable). But paying to ADVANCE A FREAKIN DYNASTY?

I planned on running a solo OD too, where I'd just super sim while sitting at work and recruit (Hey, I work in a toll booth. It's slow.) I really don't want to waste 7 dollars to do both (if I'd do both, I'd just get the pack so I can host up to 5 ODs, since I'd need to host 2 to do it.) Just a total ripoff.

EA has to pay for the servers somehow...

Re: game informer

Man, I was getting excited about today. So far, I've seen 2 things that have made me not care nearly as much about the new additions:

1. Paying to sim on the web
2. Not hiring your own coordinators as a HC

Basically, #1 is them just being greedy. #2 means that we can't control our own teams and that there can't be coach ratings because if there were and we still weren't able to hire our own coordinators, that'd be so messed up. So basically, coaching carousel is just moving playbooks around and the actual coaches don't matter at all.

Those 2 things right there is EA pretty much saying "Go f*ck yourselves" IMO. Why implement something if you can't do it right?

What exactly do you want coordinators to do once you're the head coach? Give you an extra, unnecessary boost?

I understand why they charge for hosting more than 1 OD (as I explained earlier). I understand charging for boosts, since they're a cheat. I don't understand charging to advance online, which does NOTHING extra to their server compared to advancing off the console. Super Sim online, I understand because it's on a PC and it probably is harder on the server, as it has to remember everything without storing information like a console can.

Re: game informer

Full Coach editing (both Head coaches and coordinators) is available in the front end under Team Management. The coaches are saved to the active roster file, so if you upload/download an edited roster file you will also upload/download any edits to coaches that are on that file.

That is why we already pay for an EA online PASS for EVERY EA game.

Re: game informer

Does anyone know if you can import a RTG players to a coordinator after the RTG is over?

Re: game informer

Yeah I mean it isn't a gamebreaker but if coaches had ratings (which they should but apparently do not) then it would be cool to have assistants who effected your team. I guess it just kind of seemed like a no brainer that that would be in as part of CC.

Couldn't agree more. I don't get it. So, basically, the only thing that changes when you work your way through the ranks and become a head coach is that you get to call plays on both sides of the ball. That really is a let down. I would have liked to have seen a lot more responsibility given to you as a head coach. This would include being able to hire/fire coordinators, the ability to train/improve coordinators and watching them take jobs at other schools and starting your own coaching tree, increased recruiting abilities, etc. As it is now, there is no big incentive to become a head coach.

Why do people insist on boosts for having, hiring, firing, and improving coordinators? YOU control the team now. YOU'RE head coach. YOU are making the decisions that affect the entire team. I don't see coordinators being any more than middle-men to your players on the practice field once you're the coach.

Exactly. Nothing is free.

EA is a business. I get that. The cost is minimal when you compare what it can do, and how long you get something out of it vs going to a movie, a couple packs of cigarettes, 7 bucks worth of beer alcohol. I would not expect to get an online pc game for free.

3 dollars for an online NCAA pc game is nothing to me. One less six pack and i can play dynasty games online for at least a year. Im buyin it.

Re: game informer

Also, for the minor charge to have extra OD controls for your PC, I'd like to consider this as an "add-on". Add-ons are never free. If you want a little extra, you gotta pay for it. It's not like they're charging you to have custom conferences or for the use of team builder, it's an extra service.

Re: game informer

I could see coordinators being a key point in recruiting but really outside of a small boost to players ratings they are irrelevant to being hired.

It would be nice to see them add a coaching style to the recruiting process. A speed QB would not join a Pro Style or traditional team as quickly as they would a spread or option squad.

The RTG updates sound nice, but I don't really have the patience to make up my old HS conference so I can play on my team again.

[If Bull rushing works, I'll be able to remake myself for one RTG, except I would actually play for a D1 school rather than just get mailed for D3 ]
