Providing Detail and Clarity to Changes Found in NCAA Football 12 Dynasty Mode

Re: Coach ratings are not in.

Toe anyone saying this lack of a CC is ok because it is the first year,

Was it not College Hoops 2k8's first year with CC when they implemented theirs? If so is it not a shame that EA had a basis of CC that they could learn from and instead only took 5% of it?

With that being said this game still looks a lot better than previous versions but I was so hyped about CC and when it's finally in it is actually pretty disappointing. Honestly without the leaked RTG info I would be pretty mad today about the dynasty info. Kudos to the new RTG dev who in 1 year not only kept this mode alive (which I like) but possibly made it a better mode than dynasty. I mean I am extremely excited that I am going to be able to replay my Senior season! And not only that but I can recreate the schedule with TB? AWESOME

I was not expecting a 2K8 type of CC. But I was disappointed that there might not be anything else added besides Tuning. IE Spring Game and other stuff. I hope we can play on a TB team. That would make my day. MY hopes are that you can set Quarter Lengths and improved Coach play calling
With the RTG info this made my day. This will probably might be my #1 mode this year.

Seems to read like Coaching Carousel is all cosmetic.

Where's the beef?

nope it took 2k something like 3 or 4 games to get it right like in 2k8 I think

Again, 2K8 WASN'T (not yelling, just making it clear) the first year the 2K team has "CC" in the game. You could search for jobs in 2K4 and 2K5 (and it wasn't you search for it, you got it, you had to be good). 2K6 and 2K7 expanded on that, and 2K8 is the first one I remember that was as full-blown as they gave us.

People need to realize to get where 2K8 got is a process, and unless you neglect everything else about Dynasty, it's going to take 2-3 years to get there.

Well looks like I found my answer.

No editing player during season like on madden.

They had a feature implemented way bad in CH 2K4 where you could search for a job. Coaching Carousel took a little while for them actually implement into the game. But when they did they did it right. EA has given us CC, and this will be there first year for both the feature, and any sort of Coach Mode. Also to say we got 5% is absurd. The only things missing are Coach Ratings, and even then we have a general coach rating (prestige) in its place. We actually got most of what we wanted. Ability to create a coach, ability to progress with this coach, CPU controlled Coaches taking new jobs, playbooks attached to offensive and defensive coordinators, the fact that we got coordinators was unexpected IMO. I think for their first attempt, EA has done a damn good job.

Oh yeh that is a big thing that's needed too. I know Madden has had it in for their Superstar mode so hopefully they will take from it. That makes a big difference because I want to be able to get a realistic amount of plays in. Also it would be nice to be able to change it during the season because HS is only 12 minutes so their are less plays.

wait we are allowed to do rosters online this year and download them onto the game. The freaking awesome and will be so much easier

Re: Providing Detail and Clarity to Changes Found in NCAA Football 12 Dynasty Mode

Practically the whole Q & A looked like this
1. No
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. No
6. No

Does not make sense to add a mode that really has no substance. A CC should have Coach ratings.

My Point: Look at teams like SMU, Baylor etc. When the NCAA Pre Package roster is released it rarely has good players on bad teams, which is not at all a simulation of real life NCAA Football. Great players can be found on terrible teams. Therefore a coach rating system would lower or raise certain abilities of players making them better or worse when playing for a certain coach at a certain school. I think you see my point, coaching should have some affect on players, making them better or worse.

have you even read the whole thread... ? The coach prestige rating has a DIRECT IMPACT ON PROGRESSION of a team.

and to also add to that, ln TGT it has been made clear that coaches will actually prefer certain styles of players to recruit (but if someone highly ranked wants to come there, they will recruit him).

Ok 5% was a obviously an exaggeration but still I wouldn't give it 25% because right now it will only be playbooks floating around. We can't even hire/fire OC/DC's which shows even more that they have little impact. Now if it is true that they will make an impact for simulated games that will be interesting to see but right now I'm still skeptical.

Also I didn't realize 2k had implemented CC before, I searched for it and it wasn't advertised. That's the biggest thing too is the CC in 2k8 wasn't even listed as a feature and EA makes it their feature which isn't even close to CH2k8.

Now with that being said I will take a step back because I am not blasting this game at all in fact I haven't been this excited about NCAA in a while but it bugs me that they make this a feature, which 2k didn't, and it is still way behind 2k.

Of course the majority of the answers in the thread were "No."

Look at the majority of the questions.

Re: Coach ratings are not in.

This also means Rich Rod would produce better defensive players than any coach with a lower prestige than him, but we all know that Rich Rod has defensive players get worse under him in real life.

Spoiler

Am I a buzz kill?

Even though his defense at Michigan didn't perform he still had NFL talent on that side of the ball. The defense he ran wasn't ideal for his conference or personnel. If you have a bunch of players who fit the 4-3 scheme (which Lloyd Carr had that Rich Rod was left with) it doesn't mean you will succeed in a 3-3-5 scheme. Matter fact Donovan Warren, and a few other lineman have went on to the NFL during Rich Rod's tenure. And again, with coach prestige changing yearly you probably will see a situation where a guy, much like Rich Rod, comes into a big school like Michigan with wild expectations and under perform and as result lose prestige and eventually their job.

So in Rich Rod's case he comes in A or A- to a school where he can't meet the immediate goals b/c of personnel issues, lose prestige (w/ the ability for players to progress as well) and may lose their jobs quicker than a coach who comes into a situation that is more ideal (Jimbo Fisher @ FSU) b/c he was a coordinator at that school or b/c he has a similar philosophy to the previous coach.
