I did this last year and again wanted to see what College Football would look like with Madden 12 features, visualizations and state overlays.
I must say that I like very much!!!
Though the EA limits what you can do creation wise, the game does have the ability to deliver a solid College experience utilizing the game's Pro platform.
Because of the
limitations of Madden's Custom Team feature, I just used some alterations to logos to give a "Perception" of logos on helmets of some teams. (not much of a sore thumb when your actually playing)
Some things needed:
1) Modio
2) Your own Custom Playbooks/Gameplans for College Teams
I started doing rosters within the Dynasty through Trades to match player's height/weight/skin etc... to be realistic as possible for each team, but quickly found that this is very time consuming (1 3/4 hrs per team for me), so
I will continue to update the Frachise File as fast as I can.
Although somewhat different, I've been incorporating some of the discussed information in this thread from GotMadSkillzson and Playmaker
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...d.php?t=494915 to alter player ratings to try and produce a similiar effect in Madden.
Editing contracts to represent Fr/So/Jr/Sr plus any redshirt years (1-5 yrs).
The Franchise file is at the beginning of the season with no games played.
All 32 teams are user controlled with some funtions set to CPU.
Using FA Bidding as Recruiting:
Let CPU draft for all 32 teams, but do not sign any picks forcing them to FA pool.
Change top schools to CPU during FA Bidding period while lower tier teams (Hawaii, Fresno St etc...) kept manual, then have CPU at the end fill rosters after top talent has been taken by top schools/teams.
