"You will be able to create super conferences of up to 12 teams"

I thought it was up to 16? Or is that just before you begin your Dynasty?

You are correct, his write up is wrong and you can boost a conference to 16 teams max.

I really hope that every 5 star recruit won't become a 90+ overall. I got a feeling that progression may be a tad overdone this year..

Quick question. Did you encounter any JUCO's during your forays into recruiting? I've been going through the pool of players and can't seem to find indication anywhere of any JUCO's available to be recruited.

Very nice write up. The excitement for dynasty mode is killing me!

[Demoncrom]

Dynasty is looking good but ?I have 1 major gripe. In 3 games I had 2 running backs go down to injury. My 1st stringer was injured in week 2 after posting a 230 yard running day and then the next week my second stringer got hurt after posting 120. WTF? How am I supposed to win a Heisman if my backs break like glass if they get tackled,. Other than that - this game is BOSS

How in the world can a glitch like this be missed? Don't they have any gameplay testers at all? I will be picking up NCAA Football 12 tommorrow, and being able to use custom playbooks is a absolutely huge deal to me. This patch had better be up insanely fast.

I actually work next door to a EA game testing center. I've asked the guys this many times. They said they prioritize the bugs they find. Try and get the most serious out. The ones they know they can patch up easily are put on the back burner.

Conference re-organization is an absolutely fantastic feature. Could be worth $60 on it's own for replayability.

[redskinst21]

with custom confrences can you still get invites from them if your in a smaller conferences

Re: NCAA Football 12 Reviewer Impressions: Dynasty Mode and Road to Glory

I was told to bring this question here. (sorry for the thread Ryan, I havent posted here in a while.)

Anyone else noticed on recruiting that like 15 of the 20 five stars are WRs? I understand position players and impact players usually get rated higher, but this just seems ridiculous. If you look at any legitimate recruiting rating service they have only a handful of each position rated that high, but there is a mix of the different positions.

I also understand it can depend on whos coming out from year to year, so I made a point to restart and try it a bunch of times and this is always the case. Some may not care about this, but this seems to be a huge overlook if you ask me. In 4 years of a dynasty youll have the top 60 guys all be WR.

Anyone else noticed this?

Hmmm I haven't noticed that, I notice that most of the Sparq 100 guys are WR and ATH, well, because SPARQ rates their players based on certain attributes that favor those type of players..

While looking at the "All recruits" page, iv'e noticed a lot of different 5* players.

I think I tried to help you with this before, but, yeah iv'e recruited a bunch of JUCOS..

The thing is i'm not sure that the game says they're JUCOS when you're recruiting them. Next time I sign one i'll take a pic for you for some re-assurance.

Hmm. I remember going to both pages but it seemed to be extremely skewed in the WR direction. Im at work right now so wont be able to check at the moment, but are the SPARQ 100 the top 100 or are they just the guys with the highest SPARQ ratings? Maybe thats what I was looking at. Could you check that for me if you have a chance?

Yeah i'll fire up the game and see what it looks like...

Okay first up I went to the SPARQ 100 and here's what I got..

5* HB

5* ATH

5* HB

Two 5* ATH

Four 5* WR

Two 5* HB

Two 5* MLB

5* QB

5* OLB

Bunch more WR and ATH, but I did see a TE in there!

It seems like once you get down into the 4*'s in the SPARQ 100 you start to see more positions. CB's, DE's, TE's, more QB's

Funny thing I just saw, UCF beat out Miami and Florida for a 5* WR, pretty cool

Alabama, Oklahoma, Michigan State and VTech were big players in signing these kids. Oregon, Stanford, PSU, Wisconsin and a few others got some signings too.
----------------------

Going to the all recruits page, it looks about the same TBH, top heavy at WR and ATH with a few QB's and MLB sprinkled in. Once you hit 4* players is where things start to balance out.

Thanks for checking man. I just called a friend to look as well and 6 of the 17 5* were WRs. 5 were ATH and 4 were RB. That leave 2 spots for some sprinkled in positions. He did it a couple more times and its always the same. This is so overlooked it just ridiculous. Very unreal to me IMHO and thats the whole reason I buy this game. Wheres an EA dev when you need one!
