However, I know that the vast majority of EA's customer base won't play that long so EA needs to cater to them so it'll be much quicker than that. At least there's a slider for coach progression (I think with slow, normal, and fast settings) and I hope it works well. With this setting on "slow" I'm hoping that even if I play 15+ seasons I still won't have a maxed out coach, no matter how well I do.

I have a feeling they'll do what NBA2k did in regards to their MyPlayer mode: It'll take you awhile to get there if you just want to "grind it out", but if you don't want to wait you can just buy XP to use on your coach to get you there faster.

Will he be impacted by the commitment in the Playing Time portion, even though he would likely play first based on your scouting?


Yes, they will be impacted by other incoming recruits dynamically.


This to me is going to be a great addition. It's really going to make you think about who you should recruit. With the playing time pitch being dynamic, you could set yourself up in a situation where you really like two quarterbacks, running backs, etc., but one will eventually decide to go elsewhere due to the dealbreaker. With that said, I know that not everybody's dealbreaker will be playing time. This should still make some interesting things happen in recruiting. With this and the fact that you have to strategically set up visits (ie. not bringing in two qb's on the same visit that will negatively affect your recruiting), this to me is a big addition.

With as much time as they have had to work on this, because clearly this is where their focus was on the improvements to Dynasty, then let's hope to God they get this right. I'm not saying they will, but I am definitely praying they did.

......... Allegedly.

Ridiculous.

I like the ideas of the new coach skills. However I am not happy that we still can't hire and fire Coordinators. I mean we've had OC's and DC's for what will be the 3rd year. College hoops had this option in a game in 2007, that's 6 years! Lets go Tiburon.
