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

  05:22 PM - June 9, 2010 by Steve_OS

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."

But if you're playing a single-player dynasty online, how would you get cheesed?

I play online a lot but, I feel like they're phasing out any offline modes and that truly makes me sad I enjoy offline dynasties way too much for it to be a thing of the past.

Also are we able to do offseason tasks via the site? That's the only thing I'm really interested in if not its a half baked scheme to me cause that's the only real time OD's slow up and this would be extremely advantageous.

how can there be "cheese" if you play by yourself? he stated that you can play online dynasty by yourself(no other humans, all CPU teams) and get all the dynasty web based stuff.

I wonder if this is a roundabout confirmation that job offers and conference invites are available in online dynasties now?

I think that this just confirmation that EA is going to charge second hand users for online content. It's just like the teambuilder codes.

Also, if he really feels that way, then why did they take the time to program in conference patch/logo changes or even speak about it early on?

This is awesome and it's great that you can play your offline dynasty as an "online" dynasty and get all of the same features. My only concern about this is the fact that in '10 I'm 95% certain that you can only commish 1 OD. If this is the same with '11, then you can't commisn an OD and then do an online "offline" dyansty too, or you can't do 2 offline dynasties "online."

impressive features covered in this article. Reminds me some of the old ESPN Web integration with 2k5, except a hell of a lot deeper

I hope so.

If not, it will still be an offline dynasty for me. If so, that will be great!

I don't understand your point you can still make conference swaps in online dynasty right? so dynamic logos are useful for both modes.

Can you? I wasn't clear on that or whether or not coaching changes/offers and conference invites will occur online. Was there confirmation on this somewhere? I don't mean swapping conferences before the season. I mean moving to a new conference via an invite later in dynasty. Small Mac school moves to the Big Ten, etc.

no there hasn't been confirmation on that, but regardless of that the feature is still useful for both offline and online because whenever you switch conferences your field logos will update.

Well, well, well, the Madden/ NCAA purchase has just got a little stickier for me. They're neck and neck right now(I never own both at the same time). I guess E3 will be make or break for one of these. I must say, I absolutely looooooove this. In my OD, as well as a few others, we were already doing write ups on our games so the storylines addition will be great. In fact, it all will be great!!

The only thing I'm concerned about are the glitches. OD has been filled with glitches the last few years and I don't see how they can get better now. I can see it now, somebody does their recruiting on the cpu while everyone else did theirs on the console and when the commish advances, the user on the cpu doesn't get credit for his recruiting. I'm telling you I see it coming. Still though, I'll give EA the benefit of the doubt right now. Everything I just read SOUNDED awesome. Hopefully everything will be implemented without any glitches......but I wouldn't bet my life on it lol.

This looks pretty cool but since they took this idea from madden 10 I am not that impressed
 
# 176 cowboykmoney @ 06/11/10 11:33 AM
I just hope they got the stuff in offline thats needed for this game can be a great and playable one.

How so? Was there anything you could do via the web on M10?
 
# 178 ZoneKIller @ 06/11/10 11:59 AM
Hmmmm Be sweet if they would let the Commisioner evaluate the guys in his Online Dynasty and notice that a 6 star school is falling to then offer that job to a established user in the Dynasty.

Meaning itd be nice if they let the Commissioner offer other jobs to the users
 
# 179 ZoneKIller @ 06/11/10 12:00 PM
Does anyone know if we can simulate games through the web?
