We've got news trickling in.

Along with coaches being in (based on the leaked photo), it was revealed today by Chris Vanini at the NYT that all players will be getting $1500 this year (up from $600) because of the success of last year's game. Ambassador and cover athlete pay is also increasing.

Good on EA for doing right by them. Having the real players in the game made a big difference.

I was going to do a thread on the need to recalibrate your Dynasty mode, because Front End/NIL players “are not” rated into an Archetype/Tendency and throw off the Real Time Coaching (RTC) logic due to

1) Roster build based on Player Archetype mis-matching to Coach’s Scheme
- if the player is an Archetype mismatch, the displayed OVR will not match the underneath recalculated Archetype OVR RTC is looking at within the Roster Quality formula that’s used

2) Mismatch NIL ratings not in-line with Generated Star ratings ranges
- you’ll see the Tulane/ECU with 2-3 Star NIL positionally rated like 5-Star players

- when you Sim, these inflated players will generate winning (1 or 2 loss season) progressing lower tier school’s Prestige level to 4-5 in 2-3 seasons real quickly

3) RTC looks at on-field players positional ratings for mismatches to adjust what plays will be called, audibles etc…
- this leads to lower prestige schools playing like Power Schools

Other mode breaking stuff also

NIL players because of how they must inflate them as to not upset someone, are really not conducive to balancing writhing Dynasty Mode

HC/Coordinators also suffer from similar mis-match issues against each schools profile, that’s used when looking to hire vacant position replacements
- school profile notes it’s preferred scheme, but will hire a coach with an different scheme

I wish HC’s mainly deal with Roster Building, while Playbooks was attached to Coordinators and the Coordinators Prestige level dictates how big of a playbook the Coordinator has available

- lower Prestige Coordinators run very vanilla schemes/playbooks

Next, tie in QB or Defense Cumulative AWR rating to dictate how many plays are available to be called/used

Dang I feel bad for the service academies cadets. They are not allowed to participate in NIL deals.

I think they're fine.

“You sell your school,” Newberry said. “The NIL for us is on the backend: a degree from the No. 1 public school in the country, a guaranteed job when you graduate and you’re making six figures three years into your service.”

They are employees of the academies. Before NIL, they were the only players who were allowed to get paid.
