Need Some Inspiration? Ideas for NCAA Football 11 Dynasties...

[Playmakers]

A dynasty with only Classic teams and players that is the best and most exciting type of dynasty for me....

It takes awhile to complete the teams and players but once in dynasty mode it is incredibly fun to play a big time matchup with a Miami team led by Michael Irvin, Bennie Blades and Ted Hendricks vs a Florida team with Steve Spurrier, E.Smith and Wes Chandler

All the great matchups from years past in one dynasty

While I wouldn't expect anyone to try the freakish things I do with my games, I do this with all my sports games:

I create a "side" franchise/dynasty with a team entirely comprised of family/friends/close co-workers/mentors/pets......basically anyone who's been significant/close to me at various points in my life. It's a fun distraction and I actually end up playing these franchises/dynasties more than the "real" ones. Just a thought...

Nice! I do that as well. With NCAA football it keeps on going via created recruits. Although it can lead to awkward moments when you tell your boy you made him a punter, LOL

Exactly! One of my good friends played college soccer, so I, of course, made him my kicker. Makes sense, right? He got pretty upset...thought he should have been a RB. Dude...you're a kicker.

I approve of this message.

FWIW, I just started my 2nd season Minnesota dynasty. I finished 3-9 with 3 deflating OT losses. Let's just say I am horrible at kicking FG's.

From the forums: http://www.operationsports.com/forums/ncaa-football-sliders/442111-post-patch-3-sliders-all-american-wip.html

Options
Difficulty: AA
Quarter Length: 7-8 min
Game Speed: tested on Slow and Normal (Started playing on slow recently, works on both settings)
Speed Thresh: 35-45 (I play at 35, but any of these will work well)

Penalties
Offsides and False Start: 100
Holding:50
Facemask: 55
Offensive PI, Defensive PI , and KR/PR Interference: 100
Clipping: 55
Intentional Grounding, Roughing the Passer, and Roughing the Kicker: 100

Sliders (User first CPU)
Offense
QBA-15/15
Pass BLK-25/25
WR Catch-45/45
RBA-50/55 (Upped to 55 to increase cpu run game, might see too many broken tackles, will be monitered)
Run Block-35 *Note option and spread option teams need at least 45 or 50 user RB to have success/65

Defense
Pass Coverage-50/60
Pass Rush-30/30 (30 for user and cpu, along with 25 pass block, provides the best pocket possible. Blitzing is now risk/reward. More you blitz more people open. Cpu will not block everyone so sacks are their, but a good qb can see it coming and get the ball out quick. Also, cpu blitzes are more effective so watch out!)
Int-35/35
Run Defense-25/60 *Note option and spread option teams need cpu run D at 55 or 50 to work
Tkl-40/40

Special Teams (These sliders are more of a preference to the user, still suggest you use them)
FG Power-30/25
FGA-30/55
Punt Power-45/50
Punt ACC-30/70
Kick Off Power-45/50

AUTO SUBS

OFFENSE
QB OUT-65
QB IN-70
RB OUT-80
RB IN-85
WR OUT-80
WR IN-85
FB/TE OUT-80
FB/TE IN-85
OL OUT-65
OL IN-70

DEFENSE
DT OUT-80
DT IN-85
DE OUT-80
DE IN-85
LB OUT-80
LB IN-85
CB OUT-70
CB IN-85
S OUT-80
S IN-85

Those are what I've been using and they play very well. Only thing I would possibly change is upping QB accuracy to 20 and giving RB Ability a slight bump. It's all personal preference, though. Playing with these sliders goes a long way towards defending robo-playcall, where they are always in a man when you run a screen or blitzing when you playaction.

I got "lucky" when I picked SMU (based on a desire to "run and shoot") b/c their QB, Kyle Padron has really solid ratings as a sophmore, so in addition to being a "BCS" buster project, I am pretty close to beaking ALL the school's season and career passing records with Padron...

I also broke a few school receiver (season) records with WR Keenan Holman, in his senior season...

So, that's turned into my focus as well, picking teams with player who I can break school records with...

It's kept me even more engaged in the third year, as I rack up the numbers with my senior QB...

Yeah, it can be important to pick up a squad with a good young quarterback.. otherwise, you are stuck for at least 1-2 years before you can really start to even run an offense.
