Ha I asked same thing on here and folks just said it was released weeks ago during Presentation blog.

At least a few of us were expecting more dynasty specific presentation news. But looks like there will be nothing new which is disappointing.

Did he say anything about recruits de-commiting?

[ActLikeYouCrow]

nope didnt mention that. basically recruiting is a lot more streamlined with the points system. bigger schools have a tangible advantage though i cant remember if it was points or what, but there is a maximum amount of points you can spend on one recruit so that you dont have someone spending all their points on one player a week and then going onto the next guy.

theyre taking steps to make the recruiting more realistic, but hopefully things start going hand in hand when they jump to next generation. there needs to be 85 man rosters, there needs to be balanced injuries and gameplay across the board to make balanced recruiting matter, and the roster depth chart issues that has jsmitty tearing out his hair needs to be fixed.

Like I wouldn't want them to be locked into playing five ACC games year two and beyond if they are in a Custom Conf with 13 other teams.

If you put ND in a conference, it will schedule all the conference games FIRST, then it will schedule all of their annual rivals, and THEN it will try to schedule the games that are scheduled in real life (like the ACC games). Since the first two steps will probably fill most of the schedule, you won't get very many, if any, ACC games.

From the Presentation Playbook:

Quote:

There are also special storylines in store for the most dedicated Dynasty gamers. Some won’t become available until at least your 2nd year as a coach, while others take much more time to unlock.

I would imagine that these 'storylines' would be something that are mentioned by Rece Davis at the beginning, middle, or end of a game.

Hey All- we implemented pregame stories and in game stories about players/coaches/teams that are dynasty specific.

I think you all will enjoy them.

[Jeremy.Horne.SC]

Nothing about toning down player progression? For me that's been the biggest issue keeping me from really enjoying dynasty mode in '13.

Awesome. When can we see an example?
