Re: Official NCAA 12 Dynasty Blog

No, in the gameinformer video it shows that you can select any conference for any Bowl tie-in.

I only saw BCS Bowls, any chance you can grab a screenshot bro? Would be nice to level out some of the Bowl Games.

Hopefully since the embargo has been lifted, some other sources will drop some info today.

Re: Official NCAA 12 Dynasty Blog

So basically, they posted a blog telling us they will be posting blogs. Sigh. lol.

I just noticed something that will kind of suck. They say we can edit the BCS bowl tie-ins, but what about the other bowl tie ins? So if I make the Mountain West a super conference and make the Big 12 a scrub conference, it will be the Big 12 teams going to the Cotton Bowl instead of the Mountain West super conference teams.

I guess these are things they can build on for the future. But I'm already going to have to re-think the custom conferences I have written down on paper, because the bowl season will be completely broken with the way I have it.

No, you can change any BCS bowl tie-ins to any conference you want. In the Game Informer Dynasty video posted today they showed the Rose Bowl with a Mac vs Sun Belt change.

ADD: This blog was disappointing lol. The one thing I do LOVE that he confirmed is that you can change conference alignment after EVERY season. WOOT!

So like right now with Alabama destroying me in the SEC I can ship them off... lol

Re: Official NCAA 12 Dynasty Blog

The ability to change conferences at the end of each season is HUGE. Finally will be able to take the teams that are playing really well in the bad conferences and pull them into the bigger ones in online dynasty. That is gonna be wonderful.

+1

I'm not much into changing conferences, online stuff, and all that.

I completely agree, although I probably will put TCU in the Big East and make the changes that really heppened.

I believe he is asking about non-BCS bowls

That is pretty freaking awesome! That could really keep dynasty fresh...

I might replace a couple Independents with schools that will eventually be in conferences...

Of course ND will forever be independent!

I think you're mistaken. I closely watched the video and they only showed BCS bowls. And there has been no mention in the blogs that you can edit the tie-in for ALL bowl games. It just says BCS games. Maybe they will elaborate in detail in the future blog, but so far I don't see anywhere that it says you could edit for example the Outback Bowl and make it a ACC vs Pac 10 matchup.






With people likely making a ton of changes to conference, they may experience a broken post-season if you are not allowed to edit all bowl tie-ins.

DorianDonP : If you look at the top of those screenshots you can see there are two pages, and the one he is in is "BCS Bowls", so I assume if he tabbed to the page to the left, he would have the rest of the bowls.
Just looks like that is how it works to me.

You are not reading what I said correctly. I'm talking about non-BCS bowl tie-ins.

For example. The Capital One Bowl happens every New Years and is between a top SEC team and a top Big 10 team. If I, for instance, made the SEC a crap conference, and put Troy, Tulane, FIU, etc in and put Bama, Georgia, Florida, etc into the ACC, then the Capital One Bowl would still feature SEC vs Big 10. We could see a 6-6 Troy Team playing a New Years Day Bowl against Ohio State, or something like that.

Re: Official NCAA 12 Dynasty Blog

Does anyone know if we still get invites to conferences? I am going to do the real stuff like move TCU next year and everything, but for my cupcake team builder team i would rather get invited than just choosing any conference i want to be in.

That's cool. But at this point it still has not been confirmed in video or in writing that you can edit all bowls. They have only specified "BCS Bowls". For all we know, if we tabbed to the next page it could go to the Conference Rules page. It also says in the first screenshot "BCS Bowl Tie-ins" from the dynasty start up menu. Seems to me it should have said "Bowl Tie-ins".

Hoping I can get a dev to clarify this. Or if not, I'll just wait for the official custom conference blog to clear it up.

Have you failed to notice inflation within our country? I'm VERY surprised that the game is still $59.99 to be honest.

This site is having a Q&A on Dynasty Mode right now if you guys want to ask these questions there.

Yea, I misread your initial post, so sorry -- but I agree with the other poster who mentioned two tabs. I believe that there is another tab for the other bowl games -- it seems only logical.

I think you should rest assured that the developers have thought about how changing BCS conference bigs would affect the other bowl games and made proper adjustments. I would at least hope they played a couple years of their own dynasty mode to see if the bowl bids were messed up. lol
