We will create a website soon so we won't have to look through one thread for information or scheduling. We are all about a realistic, non cheesing gaming experience. This is the 4th year of our online dynasty:

I know none of us have the game yet, nor do we have a complete league yet, but I figured I'd look at the ranking and try to figure out which group we should pick from. Also this would give potential candidates for the league a glimpse of what type of teams we plan to play with.

* I propose we use B+ or less (overall) schools that have a prestige of 3 or less:

(Ovr.) (Off.) (Def.) (SP) (Prestige)

Mississippi State B+ B+ B+ B- 3
NC State B+ B+ B B- 3
Arizona State B+ B+ B+ C 3
UCF B+ B+ B C+ 3
Northwestern B+ B+ B C+ 3
Tulsa B B B B- 3
Maryland B+ B+ B B 3
Air Force B- B B- C+ 3
Oregon State B+ B+ B B+ 3
Pittsburgh B+ B+ B+ B- 3
Connecticut B+ B B+ B 3
Texas Tech B B B B- 3
Washington B+ B+ B B- 3
Nevada B B B C+ 3
Kansas State B+ B B B- 3
Houston B B+ C+ B 3
ECU B B+ B- A- 3
Cal B B B B+ 3
Arizona B+ B+ B B 3
Virginia B B- B C 3
Navy C+ C+ C+ C+ 3
Kentucky B B B B+ 3
Ole Miss B+ B+ B B 3
Illinois B B B- B 3
Louisville B B- B B 3
Syracuse B- B C+ B- 3
USF B+ B B B 3
Boston College B+ B B+ B- 3
Cincinatti B+ B+ B- B- 3
SMU B+ B+ B B- 3
Rutgers B B+ B- B 3
Purdue B B- B B- 3

 

[irvine555]

Or if we just did any team > a B+ and with >= a 3 prestige we would have these to pick from:

Tulsa B B B B- 3
Air Force B- B B- C+ 3
Texas T. B B B B- 3
Nevada B B B C+ 3
Houston B B+ C+ B 3
ECU B B+ B- A- 3
Cal B B B B+ 3
Virginia B B- B C 3
Navy C+ C+ C+ C+ 3
Kentucky B B B B+ 3
Illinois B B B- B 3
Louisville B B- B B 3
Syracuse B- B C+ B- 3
Rutgers B B+ B- B 3
Purdue B B- B B- 3

I haven't really looked at any of the rosters, but schools with a B+ or less rating and a prestige of 3 sounds good to me personally. We can see what everyone else thinks. Also, I'm not sure if it's something we would want to use, but one of the new features is the coaching carousel. If we did use the feature it would have to be as a head coach:

Coach Carousel

When starting an Online, or Offline Dynasty, you will be able to create a new coach or use an existing coach. There are three coach positions available: Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator and Defensive Coordinator. As the Head Coach, you will be in control of the entire team and held accountable for completing contract goals both on and off the field. Coordinators, however, are only responsible for their side of the ball, and the CPU coaches will run the other half.

I know the commissioners out there are wondering what type of setting options there will be in Online Dynasty for Coach Carousel. First, commissioners will be able to determine the starting Prestige and Coach Position for the Dynasty. Meaning the commissioner can set the Dynasty to start from the bottom of the barrel as a One Star Coordinator and climb their way to the top as a 6 Star Head Coach. The ability to move teams around via Custom Conferences provides even more flexibility, challenge and depth.
http://www.ea.com/ncaa-football/blog/coach-carousel


Without playing with the coaching carousel it's hard to say if it will add another level of realism and challenge or if it will make things too complicated in an online dynasty. Depending on if we would use it I think it might alter how we decide which teams we can choose from because someone could switch conferences if they got fired or took a better job.

Some other new features for NCAA 12:

Custom Playbooks
While not technically a Dynasty feature, since you can use it in other modes, Custom Playbooks sort of feels like a Dynasty feature since all of your coaches out there are going to want to run your own offense through your coaching career.



NO MORE SUCTION ON TACKLES. Yeah you read that correctly. Did you hate it when you would do a spin move then get sucked back into a tackle? Or when you would be running through a hole in the line—a clear lane—and then a D-Lineman just warps in front of you and makes the tackle? Well this year there is no more warping on tackles. Tackles only occur on collision. So you won’t see a tackle happen unless actual collision is made between the ball carrier and the defender. Jukes and spins are more valuable than they ever have been and running through holes in the line never felt so good.


MOMENTUM ON TACKLES. We’ve all seen this happen: you’re running down the field with a full head of steam and then when you meet up with a defender WHAM complete momentum stop. It’s like the two of you were never running and collided with each other from only two feet away. Well, this year when you see that same situation you will actually notice the preservation of momentum on the tackle. Who wins the momentum battle depends on various factors including speed, size, and weight of the participants in the tackle. If the defender wins you’ll see the ball carrier being driven back as soon as they collide and that will carry through even as the players hit the ground. The movement doesn’t stop as soon as the players hit the ground; it carries through just like real life.


TACKLE BUTTON. This is a new feature that we have added this year; the old Dive Button has been replaced by the Tackle Button. Now this doesn’t guarantee that you’ll make the tackle but once you hit the button you are driven towards the ball carrier. There is a timing aspect to this because if you hit the button too early your defender will lunge in a last ditch effort to make a tackle. This is incredibly useful because the same way CPU defenders have no suction on tackle attempts, neither do user defenders. So, as you can imagine, it is somewhat harder to be pin-point accurate and run into that moving ball carrier. The same steering is applied to our Hit Stick and Strip ball Tackle attempt so the choice is yours. Personally, I like the play it safe and hit the Tackle Button.


NO MORE SUCTION ON BLOCKS. You know if we removed the suction on tackles we certainly corrected that on blocks, too. I know too many of us have said at least one time, “hey I got sucked into that block.” Please believe me, I feel your pain. Right when you are about to make a tackle, out of nowhere you get sucked into a block. The crazy thing is you actually feel like you are being pulled, I don’t mean the character in the game I mean YOU (well that’s how I felt anyway). Now that’s a thing of the past. If you get by that blocker or he’s not in the appropriate position to make the blocks you won’t get sucked back into him, you’ll continue traveling to your final destination which is undoubtedly the ball carrier.


CATCHING THE LOVE. Yes, we had to give some love to catching, as well. We made a deliberate effort to add some new sprint catches to reduce warping and sliding when the receiver positions himself to catch a pass. Another great addition is the brand new dive catches. If the ball is far out ahead of you then a dive catch may get you there to make the play. The dive catches in NCAA Football 12 are reliable and incredibly useful. And, in case you were wondering, yes, the user can trigger the same dive catches that the CPU players can trigger. In previous years, you would get the same ineffective generic dive catch every time you hit the button, but now you get a dive catch that matches the same way you get a sideline catch or a jump catch that matches. Trust me; if you make use of it when the opportunity arises you won’t be disappointed.


Sway Pitch
One complaint we heard last year was that Sway Pitch felt like too much risk without enough reward and because of this, a lot of fans avoided using Sway Pitch all together which is something I never want to hear as a developer. This year, Sway Pitch has been tuned to provide more of a bonus when you are successful, and less of a penalty when you fail. Additionally, we've adjusted the percent chance that a Sway will be successful to help make Sway Pitch a more effective recruiting tactic, I believe you will now find the Sway Pitch option to have a greater impact during recruiting.
CPU Scholarship Offers
In addition to Sway Pitch, another significant improvement to recruiting is how efficiently the CPU will offer scholarships. Previously, the CPU would occasionally have a recruit that, even though he was ranked first on their board they would not offer a scholarship in order to close the deal and sign the prospect. The CPU will now offer scholarships more intelligently, and as a result, causes some much closer recruiting battles with the CPU against other CPU controlled teams and the user.
CPU Recruiting Based on Play Style
We have heard feedback regarding CPU not recruiting based on their play style, so this was one of our earliest adjustments for NCAA Football 12. Previously, if you were running an option offense, the CPU would simply take the best quarterback that was available, or possibly one just interested in the school. Now, you will find that the CPU will focus upon players that fit their particular play style. That means scrambling QBs will be targeted by option teams, while air raid teams will look for pocket passing quarterbacks.
Another community concern that we addressed for NCAA Football 12 is the balancing of the top 150 recruits. There was some discussion that there were not enough highly rated defensive prospects appearing in the ESPNU Top 150. Based on that feedback we have increased each defensive position's chance of having a prospect worthy enough of being considered one of the top 150 prospects in the recruiting class.
Sim Running Stats
The sim stats for the running backs, backup running backs and quarterbacks were also tuned. Meaning when you sim in Dynasty, the backup HB will get more touches and, in turn, more rushing yards. Quarterback sim stats were adjusted to be more in line with actual NCAA results. The added benefit of tuning these stats is that it facilitated tuning Heisman. Throughout Dynasty you should now see a much better balance of several different position types winning the Heisman.
Incoming Prospect Ratings
Finally, we've updated the incoming ratings for all generated prospects with a focus on ensuring they are consistent with the recruits on the default roster. Now you won't notice a drop off in overall player talent in future years of the Dynasty when the players on the default roster have graduated. I think you will find that some positions, in particular Kickers and Punters, will be far more accurate this year.
Answers to Previous Blog Questions
Earlier this week, we released the blog for Coach Carousel and two Quick Clip videos. I would like to take this opportunity to address some additional questions that I've seen on the forums.
Coach Carousel – Who was that mystery man?
In part 2 of the Quick Clips video, NC State hired their Offensive Coordinator, but he was not one of the top 3 candidates. Good catch! This is an example of the bonus that is provided to hiring within the current school. The Offensive Coordinator was not initially one of NC State's top candidates, but when it came time to hire a coach they decided to stay in-house. Also, you may have noticed that as an A rated coach, he had a lower rating than some of the other Offensive Coordinators that were available.
Coaching Carousel – How fast can you climb the ladder?
Can you become a Head Coach at a 6 star school from a 1 star Offensive/Defensive Coordinator within 2-4 seasons? Yes, it is possible. However, it will require some exceptional skill on the player's part to pass most, if not all, of their goals and some luck on the carousel. The right jobs need to open up at the right time to progress that quickly. This is certainly possible, but by no means easy to do.
Coaching Carousel – Prestige and Progression
How much does Coach Prestige impact progression? Coach Prestige is now a significant factor in the progression formula. It can also be tuned via Live Tuning Packs, so if at some point we feel it needs to play more or less of a part of progression, we can adjust it accordingly. However, we have kept the importance of Coach Prestige in mind when tuning and are very comfortable with its current impact upon progression.
Coaching Carousel – Is Coach Prestige your only rating?
As mentioned above, there have been a lot of questions on coach ratings and how the addition of the Coach Carousel will alter the course of a Dynasty in future years. We've talked a lot about how play styles move with the coach from one school to another and the impact that Coach Prestige has on the game, but I also wanted to point out that the Coach Loyalty rating is dynamic as well. If you are the type of coach that looks to hop from job to job every year, expect to have some struggles on the recruiting trail when a prospect wants to know if you will be there all four years to coach him. At the same time, there will be 119 other coaches out there just waiting to use that pitch against you when they get the chance.
Coaching Carousel – Default coach ratings
There seem to be quite a few A+ coaches? Keep in mind that default Coach Ratings can be edited, customized, and shared via Roster Share. If you want more of a challenge in your Dynasty, dropping their initial ratings will cause them to progress slower. Having said that, during the Carousel, schools will always look at A+ rated coaches that are out of a job.
Furthermore, each player in the Dynasty will start out with a Coach Prestige of D+. The contracts were designed with a slow progression to A+ in mind.
Coaching Carousel – Job Security and Wins/Losses
As an Offensive/Defensive Coordinator, will Job Security go up if we fail the objective based goals but win a lot of games? These contracts were implemented so that Wins and Losses have a significant impact upon job security. However, it is largely dependent upon the team prestige and the caliber of the contract.
Custom Playbooks – Formation Audibles
How are formation audibles set? Formation audibles are set automatically by the CPU for each formation in a custom playbook. The CPU will pick the play out of those in the custom playbook's formation that most closely matches that particular formation audible.

SD75 or SaintsDave may want a spot. Hes played with us in previous seasons and is as SIM as they come.

 

[kcirdor]

Im back with good internet, wooot.... sign me up. I'm ready to take my beatings.

 

[MamouMafia]

IMO, we should try and use the option that gives us more team choices. Getting a team that we some interest in playing with always helps in keeping this thing running for a while.

I do like your first list of B+ with 3 stars or less.

 

[irvine555]

Yeah I think the 1st list is the way to go. Just like you said it gives us more choices and I think alot of those teams would retain our interest to keep playing.............but like Dave said it might all depend on the coaching options.

Good to have you back Mamou.

 

[Dave]

SD75 or SaintsDave may want a spot. Hes played with us in previous seasons and is as SIM as they come.

He definitely has a spot if he is interested. Anyone who has played with us before gets 1st priority over new guys for open spots before we start.

 

[Dave]

Im back with good internet, wooot.... sign me up. I'm ready to take my beatings.

Sounds good, everyone interested so far have all been reliable and competitive in previous seasons so this looks like it might be the best dynasty season yet.

 

[Dave]

IMO, we should try and use the option that gives us more team choices. Getting a team that we some interest in playing with always helps in keeping this thing running for a while.

I do like your first list of B+ with 3 stars or less.

Totally agree. Looking back on it now, I want the teams who picked last to have better choices than last year.

• Teams will hire/fire coaches at end of the season, coaches can retired as well
  
• You can play as a head coach(like normally), or as a Offensive or Defensive Coordinator and work your way up to becoming a head coach.
  
• If you want to play dynasty mode like in the past, you can turn off the coaching contracts and not have to worry about the coaching carousel.
• Coordinator can only control their side of the ball(except in a user vs user game in Online Dynasties), but can still recruit as you are designated as the "Recruiting Coordinator" *5/23
• When you become Head Coach, you do not hire coordinators *5/23
• Your Coaching prestige and job security can change from week-to-week, which can affect your recruiting. Ex: If your on the hot seat(bad job security), recruits may not want to commit to your school *5/23
• Coaching Goals have been expanded, Coordinators will get more stats related goals while head coaches will get more team based goals like "win bowl game" and "beat rival". *5/23
• You can monitor the job security of all coaches in during the season to see who is on the hot seat or is safe.

Custom Conference *updated on 5/26

• each conference can have as little as 4 teams to as many as 16 teams, Independents can have as few as 1 team to as many as 32
• Night Games in November – in an attempt to get every possible detail of a conference correct we added this setting. The Big Ten is currently the only school that abides by this rule, but if night games in snowy conditions are your thing go ahead and turn this off…the player's won't mind.
• Weekday Games – some conferences only play on Saturday, while others seem to take the field any time someone says they will show up with a TV camera.
• Start Conference Games – Are you a fan of getting the non-conference games out of the way at the start of the season? Make sure you set this so that the conference games start later in the season.
• Location for Championship Game – once you have 12 or more schools you will determine your conference champion with a championship game. Here you will be able to set where that game is played. You can select any stadium in the game, any bowl game, any school's home stadium, even the high school stadium and practice fields. If you aren't into the neutral site thing, go ahead and set it so that the school with the best conference record hosts the game (like the PAC-12 and Conference USA do).
• Division Names – When you go from 11 to 12 schools the default names are Div A and Div B. It's up to you to change that to whatever you want. You can also edit existing division names too if that's your thing.you can edit the Division names
• Protected Rivalries – here you can set up each protected rival matchup. (teams that play another team from opposite division every year)
• you can edit the BCS Bowl tie-ins(so you can make the Rose Bowl Big XII vs. Big East if you wanted to, etc..)

• Still a maximum of 120 teams in dynasty mode(not counting the generic FCS teams) *5/23
• As Head Coach, Recruiting can be effected by Coach Loyalty and Coach Prestige. Coach Loyalty will be impacted by how long a Coach is at a particular school, if they have met their goals and if they have signed any contract extensions *5/24
• Can not add any additional teams(120 total teams), however, you still can replace teams with a Teambuilder team(max of 12). *5/26
• A conference with 12 or more teams will automatically have 2 divisions and a conference championship game. 11 or fewer teams will remove the Champ game and divisions. *5/26

Breakdown of conference games + Protected Rivals used in Custom Conference added on *5/26

• 4-8 schools – 7 conference games. There are no protected rivals since everyone plays everyone else. For conferences of 4-6 schools FCS opponents will play the part of your additional conference games
• 9 schools – 8 conference games. There are no protected rivals since everyone plays everyone else.
• 10 schools – 9 conference games. There are no protected rivals since everyone plays everyone else.
• 11 schools – 8 conference games with a rotation of other conference members.
• 12 schools – 8 conference games when using protected rivals. 9 conference games when not using protected rivals. (Note: C-USA will use their 8 conference game, no protected rival format by default)
• 13 schools – 8 conference games. Protected Rivals are not available in conferences with odd numbered schools.
• 14 schools - 8 conference games when using protected rivals. 9 conference games when not using protected rivals.
• 15 schools – 10 conference games. Depending on the rotation you will have 6-7 division games in a year with 3-4 rotating cross divisional games (based on the MAC's 13 school schedule rotation)
• 16 schools – 9 conference games. With protected rivals you will have 7 division games, 1 protected rival, and 1 rotating cross division opponent. Without protected rivals you will have 7 division games and 2 rotating cross division games.

Recruiting Changes/Improvements

• Sway Pitch - This year, Sway Pitch has been tuned to provide more of a bonus when you are successful, and less of a penalty when you fail. Additionally, we've adjusted the percent chance that a Sway will be successful to help make Sway Pitch a more effective recruiting tactic, I believe you will now find the Sway Pitch option to have a greater impact during recruiting. *5/27
• CPU Scholarship Offers - The CPU will now offer scholarships more intelligently, and as a result, causes some much closer recruiting battles with the CPU against other CPU controlled teams and the user.*5/27
• CPU Recruiting based on Play-Style - you will find that the CPU will focus upon players that fit their particular play style. That means scrambling QBs will be targeted by option teams, while air raid teams will look for pocket passing quarterbacks.*5/27
• Incoming Prospects Ratings - updated the incoming ratings for all generated prospects with a focus on ensuring they are consistent with the recruits on the default roster. Now you won't notice a drop off in overall player talent in future years of the Dynasty when the players on the default roster have graduated. I think you will find that some positions, in particular Kickers and Punters, will be far more accurate this year.
  
• ESPNU150 recruiting list replaced by SPARQ100 *5/23
• Pipeline state map has been changed, now showing states that are in danger of losing pipeline status if no recruits from that state are recruited that season *5/23

• Scheduling Logic changed to try and maintain traditional dates for match-ups(Ex: Michigan-Ohio State will always be last game, even if they are in different conferences) *5/26
• Sim Running Stats - The sim stats for the running backs, backup running backs and quarterbacks were also tuned. Meaning when you sim in Dynasty, the backup HB will get more touches and, in turn, more rushing yards. Quarterback sim stats were adjusted to be more in line with actual NCAA results. The added benefit of tuning these stats is that it facilitated tuning Heisman. Throughout Dynasty you should now see a much better balance of several different position types winning the Heisman.

• Coach Trust Points extend your on the field ability. As QB you will not be able to call audibles or hot routes until you have earn enough Trust Points
• With enough Trust Points, you'll be able to call plays from the "Extra Plays", which is an extended selection of plays than what the coach already called

XP And the Upgrade Store

• XP you earned during your college career can be spent on item packs in the Upgrade Store. These packs are built around groups of attributes for specific types of players. EX: scat back pack will upgrade your Acceleration and agility ratings.
• There are 600 item packs total, and they'll be six different ones available each week. Rarity, cost, and duration vary, but they will all be based around your position
• Upgrade Store items can not be bought by micro-transactions(paid DLC/booster packs)

MISC

• Calendar system scrapped, and the Road to Glory presentation is similar to the Dynasty Mode's menus
• The mode's menus, replays, montages, etc. will be centered around your player
• Practices are now 25 reps per practice
• Can save all your Road to Glory replays onto your NCAA browser page
• No more study sessions on your calendar

New Plays
EA has selected 25 new plays to highlight(there are more than 25 new plays in NCAA 12), They have all been released, they are:

Offense:

• Pistol Full House HB Off Tackle - The Pistol Full House, aka the Diamond formation, was first unveiled last season by Oklahoma State and was later adopted by other teams across the country. A staple play of the three back pistol set is the HB Off Tackle play. Playart
• Shotgun Spread Flex Wk Y-Stick - Another spin on a staple play of the Air Raid offense that's used by Houston, as well as others. Shotgun Spread Flex Wk Y Stick calls for the halfback to motion out of the backfield to the right. This motion puts him in a spot that allows the Y-Stick concept to develop. Playart
• Weak I Normal Y Over Fly Sweep - Oregon State's Weak I Normal Fly Sweep has the TE aligned on the line of scrimmage to the split end side of the formation. This creates an unbalanced set to the left with extra blockers for the fly sweep. Playart
• Shotgun Twin TE Slot PA Slide - This is a play action boot pass that has two deep crossing receivers and one receiver, usually a TE, who slides under the line of scrimmage and in the flat. Oregon likes to use this play once they get near their opponent's red zone. They're usually successful at getting the ball to one of the crossing receivers for a big play. Playart
