NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution

You then have the problem that recruiting is the exact same thing for each player. And the difficulty increase is an aberration. It was basically, "recruiting seems to be too easy, what can we do to make it harder? Oh I know, let's take control AWAY from the players and let it be more of a game of luck." Because we all know college coaches use a ouija board before entering a recruits house to decide what to pitch. I'm all for taking control out of the players hands if it's realistic and implemented right...but recruiting this year was the laziest possible option to make it harder. So yes, recruiting needs work. Overall, the mode needs to be less predictable from year to year. It's very linear and each season is just like the previous. If gamers are willing to accept a mode which sucks today then I guess I'll just have to deal with it (or create my own game), but the dynasty in ch 2k8 was light years ahead of NCAA 11. I'm not accepting mediocrity.

I have to agree with you, it is getting old. The same thing every year.

Problem is, like you said NCAA has had the same system for 13 years and it is still screwed up and needs patched every year. How long would it take them (EA) to get a new system right. 10, 20, 30 years. Can we really wait that long for them to get a new system right?

I'm 38 years old next month and I don't have another 20 years left for them to get it right. I will be to old to care by then.

Hopefully the work on a new engine for the new consoles. We've had these same consoles for around 5 years now, I've replaced my computer and had 3 phones in that time.

Parody: I for one, and I don't think I'm alone on this, love parody, the more the better. As a Syracuse fan and alum, it kind of makes me sit back and smile that teams like, Bama, and OSU, get what they deserve, and start to suck after a while.This may give the "St. Merry's School for the Blind"* schools a chance. Eastern Michigan for the championship? Doesn't aply to all: I recently recruited a 4* WR, even though he only has 85 speed, he was rated a 76 OVR which is the equivalent of a gem for a 4* player, and has a great CIT rating, which makes him perfect for the slot. He was in my 2nd recruiting class. So far in year 3 week 4 of my dynasty, he has had Wes Welker type slot production, with 26 REC for 392 yards. *My coach always referred to cupcakes as "St. Merry's School for the Blind"

That is not the case at all. The quality of recruits a team like Eastern Michigan brings in this game is absolutely terrible(even more so than real life). No chance that would allow them to win a national championship in the game. The teams around them may get worse but they get worse as well.

In Response.
1)Soldiers (When their in the rear).
2)Roger that.
3)Yep
4)It's a band aid a couple people mention, however if grown men don't have time to play 25 seasons,they definitely don't have the time to create 15-20 new recruits at the end of every season.

then expect games to get stripped as most do with a new console

It's simple. This ruins dynasty. Dynasty is for me and possibly many others, the reason they drop $60 on the game. The gameplay is fantastic for the most part. But progression in dynasty is broken and ruins that part of the game. You wouldn't buy a Call of Duty game with terrible multiplayer would you?

same can be said about Maddens franchise mode..its EA....they slacked off on franchise aspects of the game for a while now to cater to the online A.D.D. kids

quantity over quality anymore
