Anyone else feel guilty when starting a Dynasty with a Powerhouse Team?

[OGKing]

Honestly, i want to start a dynasty with an SEC team so bad, preferably Auburn, but i feel like it's cheating, well, eh, i don't know man. It just feels weird.

I never start a Offline with a powerhouse.

No, not if its with LSU. SEC is hard, I haven't gone undefeated.

I prefer to go with a team that is close to getting over the hump and seeing if I can get them there. Typically I go with SMU because they have some good players in place but you have to recruit well since they have no depth.

I just can't get into it with a powerhouse team because it just feels too cheap in recruiting.

I guess so, is Michigan State ok? I don't want to feel cheap

As long as you are getting fairly realistic results with whatever team you choose I don't see where it would be cheap. I've been a Buckeye fan since the early 70's and I just cannot start a dynasty with any other team. After a while I do get the itch to move on to a bad team which would be Cincinnati in my current dynasty. Just not having any luck getting that job...

I don't feel bad, nothing you can do about it, I always want to play one of my dynasties as Penn State. Now I'll usually start a 2nd one with a lesser team when I get a little bored with a PSU dynasty, and go back after a while.

I usually do a dynasty with UGA every year and keep that one going for multiple years. I also always make a dynasty with a weak team and try to build them up, or find a new coaching job.

Well if it is your favorite team then NO I don't feel like it is cheating.

Now if you are in an online OPEN TEAM dynasty then NO again because everyone else had the same opportunity to get the same teams.

And NO again even in a single player offline dynasty. The game is meant to be fun and if you play on Heisman it will still be hard enough to make up the difference on skill alone.

Nope, but I never really start with a powerhouse.
If you truly feel guilty, make them as a TB team, same everything just lower prestige and a modified roster.

There is no cheap or easy in this game, you can always make the game easier or more difficult thanks to slider and player editing control.

Do y'all use coaching mode in your low level team dynasties or just normal mode?(1 team) I'm thinking of starting a crap team dynasty, it sounds like fun.

I never start a dynasty with a team ranked in the Top 25. Also, I try to stay away from teams that are historically good (i.e. USC, Michigan, etc.)

I don't feel guilty, I just don't enjoy it as much.

I dont care when I start with FSU because the game has a built in Bias against the ACC.

Re: Anyone else feel guilty when starting a Dynasty with a Powerhouse Team?

This entire thread has motivated me to take over a weak "powerhouse" in my current dynasty.. Next true dynasty I am going to have to run a powerhouse with a lot of history just to experience it.
