To Start or Not Start a Dynasty

I am kind of a on the fence about beginning a dynasty, especially with all the problems that I have heard about upsets and poll logic. On the one hand, I want to go ahead and get a "sample dynasty" going before the season. On the other hand, if it is bad as people are saying, I might just continue to try different, "Play Now" matches until the inevitable Week 0 patch drops.

Any thoughts from the OS community?

Re: To Start or Not Start a Dynasty

The upsets, G5 teams winning national championships and scheduling issues in dynasty are ruining it for me.

It might be 3 more patches before I can hold my nose and start a dynasty if ever. Maybe CFB32 will be the game we are all looking for.

Re: To Start or Not Start a Dynasty

I've had plenty entertainment in my test dynasty with Ball St. and I learned something or a few somethings along the way about recruiting and my playbook.

Ball State just beat Ohio State (sim) in year 3 of my test dynasty. Awesome, if you can convince yourself Ball state=Alabama or something

I solve this by forcing wins. Yeah, we shouldn’t have to do this, but this also takes about 2-3 minutes per week, so it’s not a lot of time.

I go to schedule, then I filter by ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, and SEC. I force wins for games where it is obvious what will happen (OSU beating Ball State). I’ll also do it for games like Vandy at Bama since Bama wins that 98/100x. If the teams are more evenly matched (say Kansas State at Kansas or Utah at Texas Tech or Bama vs. Texas or whatever), I just don’t touch it.

If I’m playing as a team in a smaller conference, then I also do that conference each week. I leave the rest of the G5 alone to play out as the game intends.

It’s not perfect and a bit annoying we have to do this, but it makes dynasty mode playable with realistic results. And it only takes seriously 2 minutes each week, which isn’t much. Probably costs me 30-40 minutes in an entire season, which I’m willing to spend for this to be more accurate.

Re: To Start or Not Start a Dynasty

I'd say maybe wait until the 8/29 patch drops that will fix the issue with being unable to do position changes with newly acquired players (freshmen and transfers). On the other hand, I'm having a total blast playing as Minnesota in Dynasty, so if you can't wait, just go ahead and pull the trigger. BTW, I haven't done custom conferences or schedules, which do cause problems down the line in Dynasty.

I agree with this 100% and do the same (except I don’t force any G5 games, even for my crappy little Sun Belt Conference). It takes very little time and produces good results.

I don’t just force any game I think needs it as I use their OVRs to determine the % chance of the favorite winning and then use an RNG to determine the winner. That way there are still upsets.

TLDR: By forcing wins you can get solid win/loss results so that should absolutely not be a reason that prevents you from starting a dynasty.

Thanks, I’m going to start doing this. I’ve been resisting but it is futile
