NCAA Football 09: Online Dynasty Should Spawn a New Era

03:56 PM - April 28, 2008 by RaychelSnr

Longtime MaddenMania Editor Bryan Clark, aka Hellisan, returns from the dead today to give us his thoughts on how online dynasty should spawn a new era for football gamers.

This article is right on. If they do online dynasty right I'd purchase this even if it was professional women's football

Yeah i agree with the article 100%

the triumphant return of Hellisan ... and in his first article he steals my idea for Wednesday's column ...

nice article. I can't wait to participate in an online dynasty this summer.

I've been saying that since day 1 when I found out it was really happening.

I'm STILL playing 08 very often, so as long as the gameplay is tweaked at least as good as last years, I can find some good sliders for dynasty...PLUS having another 4-5 guys to compete against.

I learned my lesson with the Legends league about immediately jumping into a 12 man dynasty because I plan on playing this game for the entire year.....which I'd say about .08% of the entire OS population will do as well. So picking guys who will go the "long haul" in a great dynasty is the one major factor involved.

So far..we've got 4 really great guys ready to play and I CANT WAIT!!!

Solidice and I have been wondering about the slider situation.

Will we have to play on a default level, with no editable sliders?

Will there be one slider set for all players?

If so, will they be editable once the dynasty has started? (By the "commish"?)

GREAT IDEA!!!

I'd be interested in a long term dynasty...I'm also still playing 2008 and for me, it's the same every year...Play CFB and Madden until the new ones come out...But the priority is CFB all the way.

Go Sooners!

Nice article. I have lost faith in EA, but damn do they have a great marketing team. I am tempted to make this a first day purchase, but no, I've learned my lesson. The online dynasty sounds very interesting, I'll wait a bit and see what general OS consensus is before I commit to anything though.

Im really looking foward to the dynasty online. Me and a few friends used to do this alot, but now we are grown up, and live on all different ends of town. It will be nice to start doing these again. Plus (i dont see why not) but if all of us can play our games at the same time, it could really speed the season up.

It would be really fun to do a 12 man dynasty if a big 12 one is out there i will be willing to be Baylor.

Sliders can be customized as well as you can play at any difficulty level. The Commish sets this all up and all teams play with these settings.
Yes I believe the settings can be edited even after the season starts. (All done by Commish)
