Randomization in Dynasty

[kcooper47]

To spice up our online dynasty we decided to incorporate some randomness through dice rolls. Here is our first run at it. I'd love to hear what you guys think about it and if we should subtract something or add something. Thanks.

Spoiler

Dice Roll - Penalty
2 - You must leave your school in disgrace and coach a 1-star team for 3 years (i.e. the Petrino)
3 - You must simulate two conference road games in the next season
4 - You must use your team's offensive playbook next year (we use customs typically)
5 - You are not allowed to convince anyone declaring early to stay
6 - You must simulate one rivalry game
7 - No penalty
8 - You may only recruit from your pipeline
9 - You may not sign any ATH
10 - You may only recruit in-state recruits
11 - Your highest rated recruit does not qualify academically and must be cut
12 - Your highest rated QB is dismissed from team

We plan to roll after the bowl game each season. Would love to get your feedback.

Hey guys just wanted to give an update on this since a few folks found it interesting.

We settled on this as the dice-roll table:

Spoiler

2 - 2.78% - Petrino - Leave in disgrace & coach a 1-star team for 3 years + roll again for extra penalty

3 - 5.56% - Sanctions - You may only recruit 3-star players in the next recruitng cycle

4 - 8.33% - Road - You must simulate 2 conference road games (your choice)

5 - 11.11% - Playbook - You must use your team's specific playbook this season

6 - 13.89% - Declare - You are not allowed to convince anyone declaring early to stay

7 - 16.67% - Rival - You must simulate 1 rivalry game (your choice)

8 - 13.89% - Pipeline - You may only recruit from your pipeline states in the next recruiting cycle

9 - 11.11% - Positions - You cannot sign an athlete in the next recruiting cycle

10 - 8.33% - In-State - You may only recruit from your home state in the next recruiting cycle

11 - 5.56% - ACT - Your highest rated recruit doesn't qualify and must be cut

12 - 2.78% - Scandal - A highly rated player must be cut (Roll for player) + roll again for extra penalty

Here is the roll table for players if you happen to roll 12:

Spoiler

2 - 2.78% - Tight End or Fullback
3 - 5.56% - Offensive Line or Defensive Line
4 - 8.33% - Highest Rated Offensive Player
5 - 11.11% - Quarterback or Safety
6 - 13.89% - Running Back or Linebacker
7 - 16.67% - Wide Receiver or Cornerback
8 - 13.89% - Running Back or Linebacker
9 - 11.11% - Quarterback or Safety
10 - 8.33% - Highest Rated Defensive Player
11 - 5.56% - Offensive Line or Defensive Line
12 - 2.78% - Tight End or Fullback

Your highest rated player at the position listed

If you roll a 2, your extra roll can't be 2.

Rolls of 12 can stack so in theory you could roll 2, 12, 12, 12, etc. in one season.

In year one of this system we had a coach roll 4 and a coach roll 6. The coach who rolled 4 lost both sims and it kept him from competing for a title. The coach who rolled 6 had no one declare early so he skated this season. I'll update further as the dynasty progresses. Throw out any ideas you have. I'd love to hear them.

That's pretty cool. Do you have a 12-sided die or something?

No it's two 6-sided dice like in Monopoly

On points 11 and 12, I always wanted to come up with a way to have guys cut from teams(violation of team rules) or suspended (Targeting, on field conduct etc.) or issue academically.

I have always used #5 in all my dynasties. It is a little too easy to convince players to stay. I feel as though this is a good user-handicap as well for when your team inevitably becomes great.

I'm considering using something like this in the offseason. Create some randomization to have someone kicked off a team, gain a boost for a certain rating (I.E. OL has excellent offseason workouts, +2 strength) or lose points (QB pulls a Manziel and parties too much, doesn't study playbook...-10 AWR for next season or -15 plays from playbook), and other things.

I do this on and off. Sometimes my general rule is if they are over 90 OVR or won a major award, I have to let them go.

Only way a heisman winner is staying is because he isn't eligible for the NFL yet (freshman, sophomore), otherwise, so long.
