I was just curious as to which 1 star teams were the hardest programs to build up. I'm looking for 5 or 6 bottom dwellers to choose from. I've played in many dynasties in NCAA 12 thus far, and won national championships with Western Michigan and Arkansas State on Heisman difficulty in either my first or second year with those teams. Now I'm looking for the bottom dwellers of the 1 star prestige teams challenge me (this is also an online dynasty). Please list 5 or 6 teams you feel are near impossible to build up (aside from Army).

Re: What are the hardest 1 star teams to build up?
Western Kentucky. Very weak talent, virtually zero recruiting pitches that work (beside proximity and early PT), and a date with LSU in the middle of the season. If you can with the NC with them on Heisman within 5 years, you deserve an award. -
Re: What are the hardest 1 star teams to build up?
Yeah I figured they would be one of the bottom 5. Who else do you think there is? Looking to have a selection of 5 or so teams to choose from so I might actually enjoy playing for whomever I choose. War Damn. You pumped for Diamond tonight?Comment

Throw a team like UTEP into the Big XII, or a MAC team into the Big 10.
The really bad teams like Western Kentucky play bad teams in conference, so it's not insanely hard to go 6-6, 7-5, 8-4 your first few years regardless of sliders.Comment

Re: What are the hardest 1 star teams to build up?
I gotta say Akron is awful. I have dynasty with them right now and they have absolutely no offensive playmakers and like 15 people are interested in them in recruiting. I would bet Wester Kentucky would be tough as well although your first year you would have a really good tailback. Tulane could be difficult as you must deal with LSU
PS. War Eagle! Glad we pulled Diamond last nightComment

Real Life Akron is going to be good in 2 years. Got the Bowden boys as well as other FSU alum, & they got Jim Tressell, too. Look for them to be good in their crappy little conference.Florida State SeminolesComment

Re: What are the hardest 1 star teams to build up?
I think EMU is the hardest team from my experience. Haven't played as Akron in NCAA though.
EMU gets worse in year 2 and can be extremely difficult to win with. The defense is so slow! No playmakers on defense it seems.
You are recruiting against Michigan, and Michigan State for Michigan recruits. Luckily you have Florida, and Canada as a pipeline too. Florida is hard to recruit in though as most schools have better pitches than you. Canada doesn't put out a lot of good recruits that want to go to EMU.Fan of...

Re: What are the hardest 1 star teams to build up?
My vote also goes to Eastern Michigan.
They're not very good in recruiting, and they always seem to have a touch OOC Schedule if you play the default schedules. Their offense isn't too bad, but the defense is just horrible, and most of the time you just don't have the firepower to play keep up with the other team.
Also, I would look into some harder difficulty settings if you win the NC with them the first or second year
