I would have liked to have seen a lot more responsibility given to you as a head coach. This would include being able to hire/fire coordinators, the ability to train/improve coordinators and watching them take jobs at other schools and starting your own coaching tree, increased recruiting abilities, etc. As it is now, there is no big incentive to become a head coach.

Why do people insist on boosts for having, hiring, firing, and improving coordinators? YOU control the team now. YOU'RE head coach. YOU are making the decisions that affect the entire team. I don't see coordinators being any more than middle-men to your players on the practice field once you're the coach.

Exactly. Nothing is free.

EA is a business. I get that. The cost is minimal when you compare what it can do, and how long you get something out of it vs going to a movie, a couple packs of cigarettes, 7 bucks worth of beer alcohol. I would not expect to get an online pc game for free.

3 dollars for an online NCAA pc game is nothing to me. One less six pack and i can play dynasty games online for at least a year. Im buyin it.

Also, for the minor charge to have extra OD controls for your PC, I'd like to consider this as an "add-on". Add-ons are never free. If you want a little extra, you gotta pay for it. It's not like they're charging you to have custom conferences or for the use of team builder, it's an extra service.

I could see coordinators being a key point in recruiting but really outside of a small boost to players ratings they are irrelevant to being hired.

It would be nice to see them add a coaching style to the recruiting process. A speed QB would not join a Pro Style or traditional team as quickly as they would a spread or option squad.

The RTG updates sound nice, but I don't really have the patience to make up my old HS conference so I can play on my team again.

[If Bull rushing works, I'll be able to remake myself for one RTG, except I would actually play for a D1 school rather than just get mailed for D3 ]

It'd be fine if Coordinators do nothing in this first implementation of CC. I think in the future, for me, I'd like to see them have an effect on recruiting, maybe improve a certain position's play/AWR, and [pipe dream] call the plays in a "gameflow" type of thing.

If they don't do anything [in the long-term scope of the game], they are just there to provide users with a new challenge to start up a dynasty...which is fine in and of itself.

Well, since coaches retire, the assistants become future head coaches. So even though they seem useless, in the future of the dynasty they aren't.

This brings up a thought. When I'm in year 2029 of my dynasty, is JoPa still going to be at Penn State?

Same here, has me the most excited. Glad it will no longer be a crapshoot as to which teams get bumped up if need be. That and taking away the Big East's AQ status (unless they decide not to be terrible next year) will be on my priority list after a few seasons.

Doubt it, he will probably retire pretty early on seeing as age is a factor.
