Five Toughest Programs for Dynasty Mode in NCAA Football 12

[RaychelSnr]

In the NCAA series, not all poorly rated teams are created equal. In an article from last month, I talked about some teams that are set up well for a building or rebuilding project. These are not those teams. Instead, the teams on this list feature an often shocking lack of talent and a tremendous uphill battle for relevance ahead. Looking for a challenge? Take one of these teams for a spin.

All of these articles on strategy and this sort of stuff is awesome.

Awesome post.

Nice article. I've been thinking about going back to NCAA for a little while for a Dynasty fix.

Another nice read, with some great dynasty suggestions, MMCS...

I usually don't drop below the LA Tech / SMU / Wyoming level in my rebuild projects, but I'm sure at some point, I'll revisit this article and try on a mega stinker...



Confused about the luv for the Kibbie Dome tho...

I've read similar before, but when I played against Idaho there, it just seemed like a really under lit, tiny Superdome...

Like you said, Eastern Michigan is absolutely horrible. Won 2 games my first year, then 4 the next year. Boise State offered me a OC job so of course I took it

It's even worse than that in real life.

Some other teams that are tough to rebuild IMO are: Wyoming, CMU, and Colorado State

I love articles like these. I'm kind of surprised Kent State was on the list and not Akron, though, who I think starts year one ranked either 119 or 120 in the preseason poll. I think their overall rating is on par with Eastern Michigan.

I'm actually in year four of a Kent State dynasty. It was a little rough in the beginning but not that bad overall. I've got them up to a three star prestige, now, and won the MAC in year three.

This is one of the only reasons I still play the game. If it was not for this mode, it would not be fun. The best part about this is when you get farther and farther into the game and build a few of these powers up is watching the traditional powers fall off the face of earth!

UAB is by far the hardest team to build up...no running game, defense no existent, can't recruit anybody over a 2 star due to the fact you have Troy in the Sunbelt, Bama, and Auburn in the SEC. You can't upgrade the stadium and Legion Field is trash in real life. And they love to play tough SEC teams every year. I managed to throw for 400 yds on Florida with them but after that I couldn't move the ball.

Great article. I started a dynasty with Washington State and it is great. I got lucky and got a 4* WR and 4*RB. I really focused on recruiting the first year and it paid off. The schedule is tough, but can be done.

I have to agree with the Washington State mention. Started a dynasty with them and its quite brutal. Great challenge though!

Good stuff. Last year I played Western Kentucky and they were by far the worst team in D1 but apparently this year they turned it around. I made a decision to only get Madden this year but after reading this article, even with the patch issues, I'm a little saddened that I didn't get NCAA. Building from the basement up is always fun!

Marcus Richmond isn't the SS. It's Deone Buchanon.

Thanks, Wazzu - good catch. I wrote this article using the Fairdale Kings named rosters rather than looking up the schools' rosters online. I see that Richmond is no longer on the team and Deone Bucannon is the new #20 for the Cougars - my mistake, and something to note for anyone that's using that set of named rosters!
