NCAA Football 11 Blog: Dynasty Wire

[Solidice]

Ben has posted another NCAA Football 11 blog, this one discussing the dynasty wire.

Quote:

"In its most basic terms, the Dynasty Wire is your central source for the stories in your Online Dynasty. The latest story is the first thing you see when you enter the dynasty or access the Dynasty website, which helps keep the Dynasty fresh since that lead story can be different every time you get into your Dynasty. There are three basic types of stories: Weekly Updates, Game Recaps, and User generated stories - and I'll get into each of these in a bit. First I wanted to give a quick example of what you might be greeted with when you access your Dynasty from both the console and the web."

Here's what worries me:

Quote:

Dynasty members can create a story about anything they want. Absolutely anything (as long as it passes the profanity filters) can be a subject for your story. Sign the top prospect in the nation? Let them hear all about it. Win the Heisman? What better way to rub it in than to create a story with that player's greatest highlights. About to play your biggest rival? Create a preview story filled with highlights from previous contests.

I can just imagine it now:

Trailing by six with less than a minute to go, senior quarterback Chris Essex connects with Cody Spikes on a six yard strike to lift Cumberland to a 32-31 victory over Morehead State.

That's how it should look, but we'll end up with this:

Trailing by six with less than a minute to go, senior quarterback Chris XXXXXXXXXX connects with XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX on a six yard strike to lift XXXXXXXXXX to a 32-31 victory over XXXXXXXXXX.

If you have a 12 man Dynasty, with a 13 game a year schedule, and every game has 15 highlights saved, for all 60 years of a Dynasty you would have 140,400 highlights at your fingertips when going to create a story.

How is that possible when easportsworld only allows us to upload a certain amount of videos.

Cool, it was a nice read. The screenshots look awesome. The menus this year are freaking great.

I don't think the dynasty wire media counts as your limited uploads for EASW. after you finish an OD game, the media will upload to dynasty wire and not your account.
