Do the seasons begin to feel tedious when you aren't competing for a conference championship? Is scheduling a hassle with most teams playing conference games at the end of the season?

Re: Playing as an Independent
im currently playing as an independent with my team builder team cleveland state. i started out as a 1 star and went 7-5 my first year. i didnt get a bowl bid. so that kinda sucked. but scheduling wise it wasnt so bad and it was a nice change of pace from playing in the mac. getting to schedule anyone i wanted with diferent opponents. but having said that after my second year im going to move to the mac. i really do miss competing for a conference championship and i believe i will have a better shot at a bowl game even with a few losses. -

That's my fear. ..getting two or the seasons in and feeling like "why am I doing this? what is all this for?

Re: Playing as an Independent
it is a nice change up as i am always in the mac so it allowed me to schedule different teams. but i do miss playing for a championship. although if you were a highly rated team it might be fun to go for broke on winning the national title.Comment

Re: Playing as an Independent
It's nice in that you get to change up your opponents every year. But the lack of any conference or divisional race tends to put a damper on the excitement toward the end of the year and you don't really develop the long term rivalries you get in a conference.Teams: Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Reds, Marshall Thundering Herd, Virginia Tech Hokies (2010 alum)Comment

Re: Playing as an Independent
I think it might be fun to play a full season with only neutral site or road games, which might be best done as an independent. It would be cool to experience 6 or 7 neutral site locations in a single season. You could say that your team's stadium is under renovation or something.

Re: Playing as an Independent
I've played with navy for 4 dynasty years until my PS3 gave out. You certainly get a certain advantage when you are not in a conference and pick your opponents. Don't really worry about conference championships etc instead I have a really strong schedule to my advantage. But you can't really let rivalries go to waste either which is why I always schedule army and NDLast edited by Agatorfan; 07-22-2015, 07:43 PM.CFB-Florida Gators and UCF Knights

Re: Playing as an Independent
Notre Dame is fun if you like powerhouses. Army is a great challenge due to their offenseComment

Re: Playing as an Independent
I believe your fears are well founded. If you're Notre Dame, and have those built-in rivalries and trophies and a tough slate year in and year out with big-name rivalries it's one thing.Comment
