I also did not read where you can disable reallocating your skills every year which I like if true. Probably my favorite thing is being able to reallocate your coordinator's skills since you can't hire your own. I can finally tailor my coordinator's skills to my philosophy. All of these dynasty changes are giving me hope.

      So you can't confirm any of that stuff, just your speculation.

          Read your initial post that I responded to. Then look either up or down. Then lighten up a little, I was just making a joke that I thought you might get, but apparently didn't.

            You might want to look up or down yourself since I asked you where you had read that and you were unable to give me an straight answer.

              What is your problem? Why are you taking this so personally? "You might want to look up or down yourself"- what does that even mean? I just made a harmless joke about how close you were to the answer, and thought you would pick up on it. And did you see the answer yet or not?

                It's simple:

                You "assume" that there are various progression settings based on how fast you level, and you said that you you can disable reallocation. BUT I asked you (twice) where you read and could prove that information and for some reason you can't. This should not be too hard for you to understand.

                  I totally get why people like this since they have no control over what coordinators get hired. The reason why I will not do this and just deal with whoever my team hires is because if you always change the coordinator's skills to how you want them that is kind of like recreating the same guy over and over again and that kinda defeats the purpose of these coaches being unique.

                  I have not bought NCAA the last few years and I am wondering how offensive styles will tie into all of this. In the past was it determined by the offensive coordinator or the head coach?

                      I did tell you the second time. Follow those instructions. I wasn't be sarcastic, the answer is literally where I told you to look. Or are you being passive aggressive and don't believe the image is real or something?

                        I hope there is a middle ground where, if you disable being able to reset the skill trees at the end of the year, you can still do a one time re-spec of a coordinator when hired if you want to (or not all). I suspect you won't, but it would be nice to have the option.

                          Well it looks like you and I will not get our wish of disabling that feature. Like you said earlier it all depends on how slow progression will be. I would hate to be in year ten of my dynasty and every coach is maxed out. Defeats the purpose of having the skills. This also goes back to EA believing the very few will get that far in their dynasty anyways for it to matter.

                            I have not played NCAA since coaches were added so forgive me if this is a stupid question but do coaches/coordinators retire?

                              Do coaches not know the skills of other coaches? Does Jimbo Fisher not know the skills of Nick Saban?
                              I'm pretty sure Jimbo Fisher knows what Nick Saban is good at. Problem is in real life there isn't a tangible thing like "clutch skill" where Nick Saban waves a magic wand and his players play better in the 4th quarter. But Jimbo knows Saban was a DB coach so his DBs will always be good, he knows what type of game manager and recruiter he is so yes i'd say coaches in real life do know what other coaches are good at and what they struggle in.

                              Even at the high school level as a coach I can tell what kind of coach the other coach is either based off of scouting, experience against him or what i'm seeing develop during the game. If the coach is screaming like crazy and as a result his team is playing undisciplined or something like that, then I know this coach struggles at keeping his players composed.

                                I am not sure but I hope so. That will help me worry a little less about all the coaches maxing out their skills thus making them obselete.
