NCAA Football 14 - A Deeper Look at Coach Skills

[berad88]

I have not played NCAA since coaches were added so forgive me if this is a stupid question but do coaches/coordinators retire?

I'm pretty sure Jimbo Fisher knows what Nick Saban is good at. Problem is in real life there isn't a tangible thing like "clutch skill" where Nick Saban waves a magic wand and his players play better in the 4th quarter. But Jimbo knows Saban was a DB coach so his DBs will always be good, he knows what type of game manager and recruiter he is so yes i'd say coaches in real life do know what other coaches are good at and what they struggle in.

Even at the high school level as a coach I can tell what kind of coach the other coach is either based off of scouting, experience against him or what i'm seeing develop during the game. If the coach is screaming like crazy and as a result his team is playing undisciplined or something like that, then I know this coach struggles at keeping his players composed.

I am not sure but I hope so. That will help me worry a little less about all the coaches maxing out their skills thus making them obselete.

I see where you are coming from and I retract my previous statement.

You know what, as a guy who is pretty harsh on the NCAA developers year-in and year-out, I mean, at least they are trying something new here. I can't fault them for that. I can see it working out pretty well, especially with that pic Jello posted proving you can set how fast you progress. I can see a dynasty set to "slowest" for progression really becoming a rewarding, deep, RPG-esque NCAA experience.

Do I expect the gameplay to match the greatness of the past-gen games? No.

Am I still pretty excited for the release? Yes. Definitely renewing my season-ticket pass.

As someone that plays NCAA year round, my fear is that my idea of what should be the "slowest" progression is gonna be a lot slower than what EA feels is the slowest any normal person would want.
