Next dynasty going to use all base rosters from the game coming out, taking all UAB players making them RS seniors. Starting off dynasty with existing coach and recruiting for uab while having them independent and playing all power schools (uab will be basically an fcs team) may do this one or two years probably two to have hopefully 50 my own recruits in play. Then creating myself as coach and taking over.

Re: Reviving UAB
I have done this a few times over now. I like having no one on the roster for year 2. The issue I had was getting fired each season if I built the roster the right way or too easy to build if I didn't follow any house rules. I scrapped the idea after two attempts, but now think the best approach might be getting a few seasons in as a OC/DC before taking over. The roster will be bad and the team will be a 0-2 win team each year.
I also went the independent route with the max number of FCS games but that made it too easy to get wins. The one I keep in C-USA was the one my coach was fired each season causing me to create 3 new coaches, it got old fast.Relax, it's just a video game! -
Re: Reviving UAB
Thats the route I went with. Made all the Sonoma State guys Seniors and gave them a touch schedule. I was OC at Idaho until the Sonoma job opened up. They went 0-12 and fired the head coach after year 1. Thats when I stepped in, I'm in my 5th year now and still loving it.
The best part about starting with a blank slate (all seniors) if that you have to recruits for NEEDS, not for depth. It adds a good challenge to build the program. My QB just completed his career, he was a 91. Next guy up is a 72...and thats after offseason training. I just didn't have enough key players to start going for depth. (also had very strict recruiting rules).Comment

Re: Reviving UAB
I didn't follow any rules for recruiting just did as always would, I actually signed the #2 QB 79 overall after adding him to my board week 6 due to no one recruiting him also, went and got a decent receiver as well. I also made a team builder team up and made the roster fairly bad as well, now have to decide which I wanna go with. Only player on my teambuilder team that's any good will my QB which made a Senior transfer from Pitt (favorite team) in Chad voytik due to him transferring anyways. Other than that hugest overall guy is 74, 73,73, 71 and 70. All the rest are 60 overalls and 50's think I even made 3 to 4 guys 48 overall as the computer would done for walk ons.Comment

Re: Reviving UAB
It doesn't matter how bad you make your team initially. If you're pulling in the #2 QB in the class in the first season, you'll be a ten win team by season 3. Probably by season 2, assuming the QB wasn't the only good recruit you gotCheck out my dynasty thread:

Re: Reviving UAB
If you add the unrecruited players then you will be a 10 win quick unless you have some amazing sliders. I went that route and it sucked the fun out fast. If you get 2-3 high overall each year you can win a lot of games.
My only advice is use a slow build method and build with recruits a 1* program would get. Getting the #2 ranked QB is going to make the build too easy and limit the fun that could be had. Just my advice.Relax, it's just a video game!Comment

Re: Reviving UAB
Agree I started over and recruited only 3* players who at most started off at 65 overall. I had a few members bolster into low 70s after scouting but that was only a few I recruited for 2 years and added to my teambuilder team my too players are Chad Voytik at QB as transfer at 84, WR 77 and a MLB 72. All the rest are 60's. My back up QBs. Are 54 and 56 overall. I'll need help. After 3 games (Texas State. @Baylor and @ Arizona I am 1-2 heading into my home game vs FIU.Comment

Re: Reviving UAB
You can build UAB how you want. My advice was just what works for me. It is easy to find 4 & 5 star guys that the CPU is not recruiting that you can get. Those players make the rebuild happen really fast. For me I like to take my time and saw my error.Relax, it's just a video game!Comment

Re: Reviving UAB
Yes sadly I do not keep auto save on and so after a night of playing 5 games I thought I saved but only saved my profile, which ticked me off so I tweaked some teambuilder stuff, my team then started off as a 57 overall. I lost to New Mexico State, Florida, and beat Georgia State. And put restrictions on recruting. Only 3 stars I can recruit are pipeline. And only unrequited 4 stars I can get has to be in Alabama and can't start recruiting them till week 8. So we will see how it goes. I run the pistol offense and decided to only be the OC and try work way up.Comment

Re: Reviving UAB
I thought using a teambuilder team would work, Just finished a game VS Kansas last night kept it close most the game, ended up losing 42-25 lost my top 2 RBS so now down to my 3rd and 4th string (58, 57 overalls) for the next game as one RB knocked out for game for Concussion, I do not let any concussion players play next week, Least its @ Utah State
Really using pistol offense with bad players and the option allows for some good offense regardless of Ratings, but the Defense...well that's another story even though shows my Total yards given up after 4 games is only 47th in the nationComment
