NCAA Football 12 - Coaching Carousel Hands-On Preview (TSO)

Re: NCAA Football 12: Hands on with the Coaching Carousel

I noticed in the vid that the stats goals are normal for 15 min qrts but kinda outrageous for 5 min qrts. If we change the qrt lengh will the goals be affect. For instance one goal for oregon was 4000 passing yards. If this was for 15 min qrters than a more reasonable number for 5 min qrts would be 2000 (techniquely 1333.33 yrds but that seems a bit low)

Re: NCAA Football 12: Hands on with the Coaching Carousel

there is a limited amount of customization... shirt/sweater/suit etc.. and headgear/glasses type stuff. It's not that robust, but there are some.

Yeah that's about what I figured. I was wondering if a pullover or jacket was an option? Not really a big deal at all but I'm curious. And I don't know if you know or not, but do you know if we can import a RTG player into dynasty as a coach? I remember being able to do that on the PS2. That would be amazing to begin as a high school senior, go through your college career as a player, take a job as a coordinator, then get a job as a head coach.

Agreed.
I also hope it is based off your playstyle. I wouldnt want to see Pass for 4000+ yards since I will run a Run-Heavy Playbook. It would be lucky for me to have over 3000+ Yards passing

I don't think the goals change for your quarter length and besides, at 15 minute quarters wouldn't most people be able to achieve every goal almost since there is no true accelerated clock?

At 7-8 minute quarters I usually finish with realistic season stats and thats because there is a form of accelerated clock in NCAA 11 already. Not chew clock, but every time you huddle it takes off 8-10 seconds off the play clock and the game clock too when it should.

I would think they would set the goals based on your playbook, maybe the 4000+ yards goal was in pass heavy offense, or at least it should be.

Exactly.
In my offense I wouldnt be able to pass over 3000 yards.

Re: NCAA Football 12: Hands on with the Coaching Carousel

Going back and looking at the video again, the vast of majority of the goals are really unrealistic(maybe because it[s oregon is why the numbers are so high). I'm not 100% sure what the green and red arrow's are supposed to indicate for approval. You'd think it'd be green for positive and red for negative improvement, but when passing for 4000 yards and running for 2000 in a season are all red arrows, and no green arrow's, I don't know what to think.

It shows what happens if you accomplish or fail your goals. Say one gaol is gain 5000 yards passing and there are 3 green arrows, but now red arrows. That just means if you accomplish it, you get more security for your job and improve your prestige. If you don't accomplish, since there were no red arrows, then it won't hurt you.

I believe it is pass/fail impacts. So if you dont pass a goal or two with a HIGH Fail Impact you could lose your job or Job Security goes down.

That makes sense, but Oregon didn't even throw for 4000 yards last year, yet that's the neutral goal. I'm a little worried about the these goals now, seems like there's a high probability for unrealistic goals if throwing for 4000 is just "acceptable", and Oregon's not even a pass oriented offense.

Re: NCAA Football 12: Hands on with the Coaching Carousel

lol its like they were reading the CC thread

Thats a good thing !

[LionsFanNJ]

That's great that the coaches have a tangible impact on prestige and recruit progression. I'm excited for the feature for its first implementation. Remember it took Choops 5 YEARS to get the CC the way it was in 2k8. So for a first time effort, I like it. I'm sure it won't be prelevant but it'd be sweet to play my Rutgers dynasty and meet up with the new coach of say USF and they've become a pro style/3-4 team a few years in.

I know some guys are disappointed at the CC news but at least there's some impact to the on the field play.

Re: NCAA Football 12: Hands on with the Coaching Carousel

I read that you have to fully recruit as a Coordinator. So if you are a OC you have to recruit for both sides. So you cant just recruit to your side as a Coordinator. But I will recruit mostly to my side until I become head coach since I will supersim all defense plays.

correct.. the color indicates positive or negative and the quantity of arrows indicates it's importance to your boss!!!

Re: NCAA Football 12 - Coaching Carousel Hands-On Preview (TSO)

I'm curious to see how the coaching prestige progresses. If I start out a defensive coordinator and work my prestige up to a B, does that automatically mean I have B prestige as a Head Coach as well?
