Otherwise old coaches would never be fired in favor of a young guy who has never been a HC before, its just an absolutely absurd concept to me, and if I had the game I would at least want the ability to turn that feature off. Having said that, I'm just really disappointed that they have the audacity to put 'ALL NEW DYNASTY' on the box, and then this is really the only new feature. The recruiting is the same as it ever was, just every call is a quick call now, that's false advertising.

When you see a car advertisement on TV around the time the "New models," come out, they usually show a car racing through a street (professional driver on closed course do not attempt,) while the voiceover says, "Introducing the all New Datson Mudspitter," then the voiceover professional goes through a list of all the new bells and whistles which make it "All New."

When you see and hear that do you stand up and throw your drink at the TV and scream, "It's NOT ALL NEW! What are those? Black tires! Right there's an axel! There's no jet engine or wings for a flying car! All new? I don't think so!"

Think about what a "Dynasty" is in NCAA before you say it was false advertising. Essentially a Dynasty is:

-Playing games
-Recruiting
-Progressing as a Coach/or Coordinator

Everything on that list has changed:

-Playing games: new engine, so gameplay is going to be different.

-Recruiting: Totally new way of doing it, as well as added drama with the 2 weeks after the season is over. The only thing similar to last year is Dynamic Pitches, and the fact you are signing high school football players. I'm sure there are more that will come to the surface as time goes by and information is disclosed, but essentially "how recruiting works," is totally different and NEW.

-Progressing as a Coach/or Coordinator:Just based on the fact there are abilities that you use points for to progress your coach makes it completely different.

You can start off as a OC or DC at a small school, build your ratings, and progress. Whereas before, the only thing you did was win games or lose games and your "prestige" would change.

I'm not saying that EVERY detail of Dynasty is brand spanking new. But when you get down to the "main," ingredients of what a Dynasty is, it's completely different and new; much like all of the 2014 non flying car and truck models.

I liked what I heard and read but I want to hear things about the presentation aspects of dynasty

I like the coaching skills also

I struggle with the fact, that this game still only hosts 12 users per Online Dynasty when "Super Conferences" are forming up everywhere, yet NCAA can't give us more than 12 users, meanwhile Madden can host 32 users. It was cool 5 years ago to have 12, but now?

Where is the official Dynasty Playbook with blogs and stuff? It still says "Come back May 28th..."

honestly, it was cool on LAST gen to have 12. Since they added Teambuilder (remember that feature they never touched after adding), it has been necessary to give us more than 12.

+1

I totally agree. It makes no sense. This should be an easy fix.

It's always something new that they can sell as new. They don't seem to be pleasing anyone. The Presentation people still didn't get the broadcast camera they've been asking for, they got something else. The uniform people are still waiting on facemasks/cleats/dreads/uniforms that are either old or incorrect, instead they gave us new gloves. The dynasty people wanted something to get them excited about and instead got recruiting repackaged. No one says it's an easy job and no one is saying they will ever be able to please everyone but I'm so sick of people making excuses for them when many other games out there can get it done. Are you honestly satisfied with where we are with this game as we near the end of the current set of systems?

I'll admit that it was a bit of a reach on my part; I was trying to quell some of the heat that the dev team has been receiving. We as gamers are very quick to overreact when we don't get what we want. We're an impatient bunch, and I'll say that these announcements, while needed, weren't exactly what I was looking for.

But I don't know the process of deciding what worked and what didn't work. I don't know where they get their feedback from and then how they respond to that feedback to creating new features/improving upon features already in the game.
