What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

[gharp14]

A lot of people seem dissapointed in the new things added to dynasty this year. The way I see things is that they finally made it about the coach and gives you a chance to build your program the way you want while also having the variety of skills to diversify coaches. Then the recruiting seems even deeper while adding more simplicity to the user. With that, why were people dissapointed about the features and what did they think needed to be added instead?

Playoff
85 Man Rosters
Custom Bowl Tie Ins
Able to upgrade stadiums and facilities to help recruiting pitches
Be able to delete conferences

85 man rosters is so simple yet so important. It's hard to have an depth in the trenches with a 70 man roster.

Re: What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

I think plenty of people like or are ok with the changes and additions, they just think there should be more. There are some things that really should be added - some that were in the previous gen - so a lot of players are disappointed that those features are still absent. I really like the recruiting and coach skills, but I acknowledge that there remain some head-scratching omissions.

I would have liked to see hire/fire coordinators and facility upgrades. Can't complain too much with what we got though. I'm excited for dynasty this year.

Re: What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

I like the changes/additions. I think they are about 5 years overdue. But I like them.

My main concern (as always) is the coaching carousel. It has been very underwhelming since its inception and I was hoping that they would talk specifically on how they improved it. Their lack of communication about it makes me think/feel that they did little to it. Now, I could see the coach skills thing making a difference in how it functions, but still. I'm tired of seeing coordinators from small schools with losing records land BCS head coaching jobs. The logic needs to be severely tweaked.

I also really wanted the ability to hire/fire coordinators. I understand you can control the ratings they have, etc. But to me that is so video game-ish. I realize that's what we are doing here, but I want as much realism as possible. Quite frankly, I don't want to determine the skills my coordinator has. I want to hire the guy because of a certain skill set and help him to grow, not change how he is.

I think I heard contract logic was fixed some

Re: What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

I like the changes but there are a couple things still missing.

Hiring/firing assistants. Even just coordinators would be fine.
Negotiating assistant coach salary as part of your contract. Do you give up some of your pay (xp) to get better assistants?
Upgradable stadiums. It'd be tacky but even just plugging in a dozen or so generic stadiums and letting me move into one would be alright. Also upgradable facilities.
Team builder upgrades.
Playoffs.

Re: What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

I'm glad they made recruiting not so tedious anymore. I honestly went back to playing NCAA 06 just because the recruiting was more fun to me. Now, i just want them to have better immersion into the spirit and passion of college football. The atmosphere of the game of College Football is like no other, but EA has a very hard time of representing that. That's all I want. Oh, and for CBS and ESPN to come to an agreement to allow both in the game so that we may have the SEC game of the week on CBS. For next gen, I'm hopeful that may happen, along with SEC GOTW on the SEC Network, ABC Primetime game, Thursday Night on ESPN, and others...

REALISM!!!

Re: What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

I think precreated Recruiting classes with stories similar to maddens draft classes would go a long way to making recruiting more intense and in depth. It'd be nice to get some hype surrounding some of the recruits in an online Dynasty.

Re: What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

I'm disappointed that they left us stuck once again at the 12 user MAX limit...

This game could be so much fun if only we could have more USERS


I thought 12 users only was too small in NCAA 2009. Now we fast forward to NCAA 2014 and even the real life conferences have swelled but for some reason EA still has us stuck in the dark ages...

This is unacceptable on every level.

Ultimately, we must be able to have ALL of the teams user controlled... That is a MUST

But for now can we at least get some marginal increases?? How about at least two conferences full??

Isnt there suppose to be some sort of randomized story lines or is that only for current players?

Re: What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

De-commits
JUCO recruits being different
National Signing Day being more exciting
Spring game
HS All American game
Playoffs
Allow 120 teambuilder teams

I do like the changes this year but I expected at least a couple of these to be in.

Re: What did You Want In Dynasty instead?

85 man rosters.
Ability to hire/fire coaching staff.
Ability to add/remove conferences.
Shared recruiting classes would be amazing.

The most important thing for me personally, is toning down player progression. That almost ruins dynasty for after a few seasons.

Always felt like they could add a dynamic to recruits like "potential" because some players have a higher ceiling than others. That would make recruiting that much better in my opinion.
