I'm having a great time playing as UCLA. Hopefully I can bring in a few PAC 12 championshipd

Can you do a solo online dynasty, so I keep keep track of my whole shebang (vs CPU) on that kind-of-cool dashboard setup?

Are there any things I need to know to do / avoid, if that IS possible?

Anyone else doing that?

Thanks!

Genius! This article is hot diggety spot on! I was following most of if not all of these rules on instinct before this article was even born, and have carried the San Diego State Aztecs (who?) up two stars within 3 Dynasty years. Friends, focus on recruiting any player over one star who likes you more than 30%, bomb the highest rated early on in the school year, plus promise them no redshirt, a winning record against rivals and if you feel confident a conference championship the first year they're on campus. As soon as you get exactly the number and types of players that you NEED to get, move onto the highest rated players whereever they may play who like you. Don't worry about balance more than the sim is making you! And then win. You can soften your schedule, since you're probably not going to get to the Nat'l Champ, so stack your deck, since winning now is so important to make sure you can win bigger later.

Yes you can do an online solo dynasty.

I don't do it because of the transfer failed error I don't want to get stuck on my solo dynasty because of EA's server problem

You won't get that snazzy dashboard because they still haven't made it available. The online site is still in beta even though they have touted the new site for quite some time.

Kind of taking advantage of the flawed system here...

But near the last few weeks of the season, there will be some 3-5 star rated prospects who are still in their top 10 schools phase with no scholarship offers. As a low to mid-major level team, it helps to really hit these guys hard with promises and minutes and hope you can jump into their top 10 by the off-season while the other schools stay away.

I don't do this often, just when I'm looking for a story line or something to create. Nothing like going undefeated with a non-BCS team and going to a BCS bowl but still have to choose from the 2 star recruits to live up to expectations. So it's nice to get some of these higher rated recruits to come to your school in hopes of joining a team on the upswing of things. Or I pretend they had terrible grades or character problems or something..

Ah, thanks for the heads up...

Might be a cool thing down the road, but yeah...that server /error thing is a deal breaker for me (for now)...

I'm loving playing as KU.
Problem is, I've have the Jayhawks ranked number 1 with one game to go in my first year.

I'm playing on heisman, and almost lost a couple of games, but I need to adjust my sliders so that I don't keep winning everything.

I also need to adjust my recruiting level, because I have it set to Freshman so I could get the guys I created that are 3, 4, and 5 star guys.
