Coach Prestige and Coordinator Prestige have an effect on simulations. While it won't have an effect on game play if you sim a game it will effect your teams preformance.

You were maybe one of two people who agreed with me that it would end up this way. Everyone else just flipped out and then celebrated when my prediction came true. I just don't understand how people aren't ticked about it being half-assed.

Agreed, I didn't even honestly expect a CC at all, and pretty much the only CC anyone expected was a half Assed one. I wouldn't call this CC half assed at all though, more like restricted, due to time. I've got faith that EA will further expand on the CC next year, and I normally have no faith in EA at all, but they've proved to me that they actually care.

I know. When I wished for a coaching carousel I wanted ratings to be the big factor. I wouldn't care if playbooks never changed in year one, but I do care about ratings.

I think most people here just haven't played 2k8 so they really don't know how a carousel should be done and when done correctly how big a feature it is.

Maybe would could wait for the full blog before passing judgment where they clarify everything instead of the tidbits we got.

Wow... the whole CC stuff just lost 90% of its appeal for me...

Agreed. And even the other additions haven't been done correctly. It's really disappointing.

I disagree...I think this is better than nothing. Also, in the link you posted it said the two ratings you can edit for coaches is prestige and job security. That will make a tremendous difference. In NCAA 11 guys like Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer and Mack brown would lose their jobs for no reason at all. Hopefully with job security this is eliminated. Also guys like Rich Rod last year would go 8-4 and not be fired b/c the game didn't know that Rich Rod in real life was already on the hot seat at a prestigous school, so he wouldn't be fired.

Also the guy said that prestige is kind of like an overall rating of a coach so it will make a difference if we are able to establish who the elite coaches are (Saban, Stoops, Miles, Brown, Tressel, etc.) and who are the guys who shouldn't be considered at top tier schools. Also, with the addition of alma mater I'm assuming that this will have weight in the way college hire the next coach which is realistic. In the videos everything is generic as far as coaches/coordinators go so once we put in the realistic coaches/coordinators we may see less randomness. Because in the videos I see there are ALOT of generic A+ coordinators which there really shouldn't be any at all. If prestige is a raw overall of a coach then no coordinator should be an A+. And once that is eliminated you'll probably see teams stick with their B+ coach who's having a down year rather than go with the C coordinator who's had a great year with a team. Just saying, you might want to see how it works out before we condemn it.
