NCAA Football 11 Takes Dynasty to the Web (ESPN Videogames)

Manage your school using the web in NCAA Football 11. Read all about it, at ESPN Videogames.

Quote:


	"With "NCAA Football 09", EA Sports introduced football fans to their version of an online dynasty where gamers were able to play in a conference with up to 12 players, but managing your school had to be done through the console. This year, the team behind "NCAA Football 11" is finally taking the feature full-force to the Web, enabling gamers to log onto their dynasty anywhere they have access to the Internet, whether it's on a computer, iPhone, or even an iPad. That's right, now if you an extra 20 minutes to kill at work (or if you just don't feel like working), you can log onto your team online, schedule a game, try to recruit that strong-armed quarterback for next season, and even write up a news story about how you destroyed Florida the night before and post the story to Facebook. Talk about a productivity killer. "NCAA Football 11" is set to cost corporate America millions of dollars in lost time just so Dan from Palo Alto can try to convince some virtual running back that Stanford is the best place for him to high-step down the field next season. But that's just the start of what EA has planned. I recently had the chance to sit down with NCAA Football 11" producers Ben Haumiller and Russ Kiniry to get the inside scoop on the game's new online dynasty features. Video highlights of a player's entire career? Team highlights that extend to 60 seasons? That's only just the beginning."

WOW.........

Hey, Adam T - this probably goes without saying because the blog said you can do everything from a PC that you can on a console as it relates to the Online Dynasty, but can you confirm for me that I can also advance OD weeks from a PC? I travel alot and it would be great to have that ability when I'm on the road versus signing over commish duties to someone else in my absence or let the OD stall. Thanks - and GREAT news on the OD front!

if online dynasty allows conference invites this year, I'll be running my normal 1* build-up offline dynasty online by myself. this just looks insanely awesome.

If not just export it to an offline dynasty before the invites happen, then after you get one/don't get one, put it back online.

I just can't get over how awesome this is going to be.

# 86 HokieB @ 06/09/10 09:14 PM

Any chance you can edit rosters online this year?

# 87 lint @ 06/09/10 09:14 PM

Man they really thought this through. I would rather do recruiting and whatnot from a computer rather than do it from console (that's just me). This will probably make me play the game that much longer.

What would be even cooler though unlikely is merging this dynasty into next years game. which wouldnt work due to probably the addition of new attributes.

Good job EA. Now I will only be buying NCAA 2011 instead of nothing from EA

that'll make it pointless though, as you'll lose all the coaching/dynasty history.

# 89 HokieB @ 06/09/10 09:17 PM

The more I think about this, the more insanely awesome it is. Being married with a two year old really digs into your game time. I figured I'd probably be doing auto recruiting because I much rather spend me limited time on the field.

But now I can recruit while my wife's watching all her television shows

Edit: In the past EA's website/game tie in has crashed due to too much traffic. Remember when they introduced Gameface to Tiger Woods? The site was inaccessible for hours at a time due to so many users. I hope EA has this sorted out for NCAA.

Yea, this was my concern too. I remember when the server didn't work when they added the photos/videos online. It was a pain.

I have to say that this could be the best feature ever in a sports game. Now if they tell us next week at E3 that they put in Coaching Carousel and AD mode I'll just have to quit my job and lock myself away for the summer.

Haha. I wrote a blog about ways you can use web dynasties to avoid or enhance other activities. My number 1 activity is :

1. The Costanza: Use your cell to set up your non-conference schedule while you "multi-task" in bed with your significant other. Spicy mustard is recommended.

This is an epic Feature!! Normally features divide offline and online gamers. This is actually a feature all can enjoy. If done right this feature will set the bar high for other sports games.

# 94 davep @ 06/09/10 09:28 PM

Meh...I'll never use it but it looks like fun for some people.

# 95 UCFTirade @ 06/09/10 09:34 PM

oh yes, I think it is about time for me to find a competitive online dynasty to play in. So excited to play online this year. Hopefully I can find a good OD

This is a such a great feature. I'm ready for Christmas in July

(needed reason to use the Santa)

# 96 tswiatkowski @ 06/09/10 09:47 PM

Oh. My. God. This is just so much cool stuff. I don't even know what to do with myself.

i def agree

# 98 statum71 @ 06/09/10 09:49 PM

Mannnnnn!!!! Very impressive. Now let's see somebody say its the same ole game.

I guess now my single player dynasty will be online.

# 99 AuburnAlumni @ 06/09/10 09:50 PM

As an online commissioner....

I "heart" these new additions. Getting 12 guys through an offseason of recruiting is going to be muuuuuuuuuuch easier.

And...the email alerts will be used extensively.

Awesome additions all the way around this year.

Big applause for EA.
