Dynasty question

[td7]

Are we still gonna have the ability to play other teams games during any given week of a dynasty? I know you could do this in past games.

Re: Dynasty question

I believe you can unless it is an online dynasty. I can't remember if the studio updates changed it though. Can't say 100%

Re: Dynasty question

I'd be surprised if you couldn't. You should be good

Studio Updates didn't last year. You could play every game in a given week last year. I highly doubt they take away that ability.

Re: Dynasty question

The thing with studio updates last year was that if you, for example, played a CPU/CPU 1PM game, then a User/CPU 8PM game, and the game you played earlier came up as a highlight it would reflect what happened when the CPU simmed it, not when you played it. That caused a lot of gnashing of teeth and is why we can't have nice things.

Re: Dynasty question

you can play it and change the outcome but not sim it, and then the studio updates are broken. that feature was just a mess and not worth the damage to dynasty

Re: Dynasty question

Will we be able to edit the ratings and rosters as a whole during dynasty play (specifically offline)?

Re: Dynasty question

I've had confirmation from EA that we can still play any game from the schedule and cpu v cpu games can still be viewed from the sideline cam.

Cheers.

You could last year and I can't imagine they'd take it away.

Thanks for answering my questions guys.

Re: Dynasty question

I can't start threads and my question is technically also a dynasty question.

Playing as the Lobos year 2 of my dynasty in 13.

My star offensive player is a QB who is a converted ATH with 81 SPD he also throws decently. He has 89 SPD and is my top rusher.

I have basically one decent WR rated 81 and then others rated in the mid 70's.

I have been running Baylor's offense to take advantage of my QB's speed. He routinely takes off for large gains.

However for some reason I find I recruit best at TE. I have 2 TE's rated over 80 (both sophomores) and a FB who I switched from TE who is rated over 80 and a sophomore.

My HB is rated 84 with 89 speed pretty middle of the road.

This is my issue.

I got a monster FR Receiving TE. 77 Overall but he's 6'8 85 Catch rating, 83 Spectacular catch rating, 77 Catch In Traffic, 80 Route Running, but only 82 speed.

I had the option during change position phase to move him to WR and he would have went up to 79 overall. I decided to just keep him at TE.

I typically recruit for speed because I like home run passing plays rather than a guy getting caught from behind.

However, given the strengths of my TE's, FB, and HB, it seems like I might do better in some other offense that takes advantage of TE's, FB's, and HB's rather than just QB running and go routes.

So sorry for all of that info but here it is: I am using Baylor's offense. Is there an offense I can use that will let my QB still take off and be a big rushing threat but also get my good TE's, FB, HB more involved? Would Michigan be a better fit? Any suggestions?

Also since I have 4 good TE's should I move this TE who is my best receiver to WR on the depth chart even though he's slow just to keep the ball moving?

Sorry for making this post somewhat OT but I just joined today to ask this question.

Re: Dynasty question

I don't know what exact playbook, but the pistol sounds like a good bet for you. What team are you using?

Re: Dynasty question

@fanlobos
I think your best bet would be to take the time to make a custom playbook, that way you can have multiple sets that cater to all facets of your offense. You said you have multiple TEs that are serviceable, work in some double TE sets to take advantage of that. Slower RB with a decent FB? Work in some I-form so you can go to the ground game without the speed of your HB being a hindrance. Sprinkle in some shotgun QB runs and options to take advantage of his speed.

A second advantage that a custom playbook has is that if you make it, you should have a better understanding of your playbook inside and out.

Also, because the playbook is custom, it can evolve with your offense, you don't have to be locked in with the plays that you currently have.

Thanks for the advice man... it might sound funny but I've never even toyed with the custom playbooks before. It was really fun picking out plays and also doing the formation subs (which I've done occasionally but sparingly in the past). This is really going to help me get the actual looks I want not just what looks best at the time.

Re: Dynasty question

Can someone with the game confirm this? "Are we still gonna have the ability to play other teams games during any given week of a dynasty"?
