NCAA Football 12 Blog - Coach Carousel

[themassacre771.1]

I think the game looks pretty good. My biggest concern was being able to move up really fast and based on that part 2 video that's not going to happen.

Well that would make recruiting 3 star and lower prospects a more viable option when you don''t need starters right then.

That also makes every team who gets the first few crops of good recruits a super team once they all progress. Yes, those 3 star and under players will get to progress to high 80's or 90's ovr by the end of their careers but those 5/6 star prestige teams will have backups who will be 95's or better during that same time span.

We already saw what happened when they tried to stretch ratings, it backfired and blew up in their face. They need to leave it as is, they game plays on and off the field better with the higher ratings, overrated or not.

Somewhere there is a balance to raitings. Stretched was a great idea just poorly implemented.


I would also like to see the star raiting change through the recruting process. Like in "Meat Market" guys who are only being recruited by for example Western Kentucky might only be a 2 star, but once LSU or Alabama become interested hr magically is a 4 star. That'd how recruiting raitings work anyways.

Anyone else agree?

Recruiting as a whole in this game is fairly unrealistic. What the slot-machine system adds is a game within the game, preventing the player from spamming the most pitches. So this is essentially a balancing act to keep some schools in check, rather than allow a team to spam its A's.

If you can come up with a system that is both realistic and balanced then I am all...well, eyes i guess.

Wassup fellas. Sorry if this has been answered (I haven't seen it anywhere) but I had two questions regarding the Coaching Carousel feature.

1. Can you move between Coordinator and HC back to Coordinator etc or do you go from Coordinator to HC and then you can only be a HC from that point on. For example, is the following sequence possible in the game:

Start as OC of Bowling Green
Promoted to HC of Miami (OH)
Take OC job at Iowa
Take HC job at Indiana

Its probably a stupid question and I'm accuming this is possible but just wanted to confirm.

2. In an Online Dynasty, if the owners are both Coordinators and scheduled to play each other, do you still only control your side of the ball in a user/user game or will you be able to control both aspects even if you are a coordinator?

1. Yes you can. I'm pretty sure they mentioned it before.

2. You control both sides against a User no matter what.
