Re: How Do You "Run" Your Dynasty?

I'm getting kind of bored with this approach and wondered if you guys had any other methods.

The way you play was my typical dynasty backstory in 14 and earlier. I initially tried this twice in 25 and was highly disappointed because or the lack of job offers in 25. It seemed to be redundant as I could always get Virginia and a G5 HC gig early and opportunities would dry up for a few years shortly afterward. It inspired a "get out when the getting is good" mentality. Perhaps that reflects real life, but it isn't the way I want to play.



I just ran a 20-year dynasty where I started and maintained my HC job at Kennesaw State. I also ran Relegation system where every year the conference champions move up to the next conference and the worst teams move down. I got Kennesaw to the top for several years and maxed out recruiting, which made recruiting far too early.


I am now in my 1st year as the OC of Georgia. I wanted to see how the Bundle Discount skill worked and I have upgraded my defensive recruiting and tactician skills on the cheap to help me move on to a new job. I want to stay at UGA for a couple of years and I hope the game offers me a HC at a C-USA school (lowest ranked conference) like Sam Houston, Jacksonville State, or New Mexico State (one of my favorite starting places in the older games, which was removed by default by Revamped). I'm still a few weeks away from Conference Championship Week, so I don't know how well the job offers have been fixed, if at all.


If the initial job offers dry up as they have in previous attempts, I will probably start as a HC of one of the teams mentioned in the previous paragraph. I will look to spread my skill purchases in a different direction. Recruiting at Kennesaw State got far too easy after maxing the skill. I would have the #1 class with 20 signees, all 4 and 5 start players excluding kickers while other schools trail me with 32+ signees.


So far, starting at KSU was my best dynasty experience. I will start over with a C-USA HC job if the Georgia OC career path feels like it fizzles.
