Official NCAA Football 12 Dynasty Mode Blogs Incoming This Week

[Gosens6]

The question that got me most excited from the Q&A was this one:


1. Will coaches recruit to their style of play?

A: 1) Yes... more specifically they'll recruit to the style their playbook is set at. It's determined by the player "style" (ex. scrambler, pocket passer, etc.)

After last year, how can any one not be excited for this at least?

Feeling a certain way that IGN paid to spill the beans early on thursday. Also this is the same way everyone felt after finding out Carousel wasn't in last year. But ncaa 11 ended up being a good day anyway. So while I'm disappointed that IGN spilled the beans and we'll get blogs throughout the week with a little more in depth info. Overall happy what NCAA will be. So now I wait for my Teambuilder info hopefully going active in three weeks.

That sounds great to me. Nothing more frustrating that a Peyton Manning trying to run option reads.

It makes no sense that you couldn't change all bowl tie-ins. Just think about it. Every big conference has 8, 9+ tie-ins. But if you cut the conference down to 4 teams like we are allowed to, then what? Only that really sucks is now that I know I can use my setups from past years, but there will be 3x as many bowl games as there were back then. You can't delete conferences, but can you delete bowls

they added this afterward so GTech can still recruit pocket passers

One thing regarding that, if a very highly regarded player is very interested in a school, the school will still give him a look even if he doesn't necessarily fit into their scheme. However in an option team instance, they'll weigh the scrambler QB considerably higher than the pocket QB so they might go after a 4-star option QB instead of the 5-star pocket QB.

Me personally I wouldn't change everybowl, but having just the bcs ranking to determine who would go to a bcs bowl game is a good option vs bcs tie ins

It will randomly select a bowl eligible team to substitute in. That's how it has worked in the past when a conference didn't have enough eligible teams (sometimes it even put in a non-eligible team with a losing record).

Either way, it has tempered all excitement for custom conferences. I understand this is the first year and everything, but it kind of seems they had a lack of foresight when implementing some of these features.

I'm still purchasing. I need a NCAA with updated conferences. But that's pretty much the only thing I'm happy about right now. Can't even edit players in dynasty. Oh well. Shouldn't have got so excited in the first place, lol.

That's not necessarily a bad thing though, so long as long as they're not indiscriminately recruiting players like last year.
