NCAA Football 11 Live Tuning Pack 1, Available Now

[andicesharks]

It is generally easy to bring the school you are controlling out of the dumps but the cpu does not seem to know how. Having a static universe where everyone stays generally the same does not really make for a great or interesting number of years.

As for the ratings still being lower than the ones the game starts with - why are the prospects still not very good? If the games default rosters make for the best play, why not strive to keep them that way? there is no question that recruits will never be as good as the default.

Playing dynasty mode which is essentially an RPG is hard to get into when as you play you are regressing instead of progressing for years - even if you are actually winning. Would anyone want to play something that, as you keep going to the next level, your hero/group/team declines in stats? They actually lose abilities?

We seem to be...

How many "A teams" in terms of skill/talent are in NCAA anyways? I wouldn't say any more than 3 in any given season anyways. It's just unfortunate the default rosters are juiced so much.

I agree with you here, but I'm 6 seasons in and the best team rating is a B+, I have 0 A teams anymore.

The problem is that they stay bad but they get worse. If you check the scores in as you play through the years, you will see even mediocre teams constantly losing to the FCS teams. This is because the yare all dipping below - far below - the level of "bad" they started at and should at least stay at.

Don't you think it still evens out though?


My team is a B-, and I have 8 players that are 86+, and 2 players that are 90+. My team rating might be lower than I would think, but there is still playmakers on my team.

Does anyone else know if the players progress in season as well as during the offseason?

Before LTP1 they did not progress during the season.

They might, but you can't see it on the edit roster menu.
