First NCAA Football 12 Dynasty Mode Details Revealed

01:00 PM - May 19, 2011 by metallidevils

IGN posted a story today detailing some of the additions to Dynasty mode in NCAA Football 12.

The biggest change seems to be the ability to create a coach and move up the coaching ranks. Many folks have been begging for a "coaching carousel" in this series, so this addition seems like it should make a lot of people happy.

Quote:


	...EA and Tiburon have responded and given players the ability to create their own coaches from scratch. You can modify looks, set ages and even pick an alma mater. Save these changes, and you can share them with the world and every mode in your game. That stuff might sound cosmetic, but it plays into the cool changes in Dynasty mode. When you start, you can choose to go be the head coach of whatever school you like, but the real challenge is taking on one of the new offensive or defensive coordinator slots and working your way up to running an entire team. Yes, this year you can be one of the assistant coaches and manage just one side of the ball for entire games. Do well, and the shot at a head coaching job might pop up.

The story also mentions some details about Online Dynasty mode, including confirmation that you will be able to simulate online dynasty games from your computer.

If you're a more visual person, IGN has also posted a video preview detailing these changes.

On a level beyond the additions themselves, the biggest change this year just seems to be the ability to customize the experience to your liking. The folks at EA Tiburon have been relatively rigid when it comes to customizing players, leagues and so forth, but the shackles seem to be coming off in both football games now.

More details should be released about this mode and the Road to Glory mode in the near future. The embargo for all media as it relates to these modes lifts on May 23.

this took my hype meter up 10000000 times! can you imagine how deep online dynasties will be now? weekly news letters where you mention coaching and schemes, whos on the hot seat...newly set rivalries, conference changes in different seasons...special neutral field games and bowl tie in games and stuff...not to mention the custom playbooks and everything...it will bring so much more depth into it! geesh july wont get here fast enough!

well from the screen shots it looks like they take coach specific playbooks since that stanford new coach had an arkansas playbook. My biggest question is will coaches have a recruiting scheme that matches their playbook. Because what good is it if a pro style qb takes over at georgia tech but still gets option recruits?

As a coordinator will you be able to recruit?

# 286 theohiostbuckeye @ 05/19/11 07:00 PM

Wow! Just....wow! Someone's been hard at work in sunny Orlando this past year! Way to go, EA Tiburon!

Just one question to EA_Alex_Howell- (only if you are allowed to talk about it, obviously)

Will RTG be integrated with this amazing new feature so I can start out as a high school senior, play college ball at a position, become a coordinator at a small school on that side of the ball and work my way up the coaching ranks to perhaps return to my alma mater as head coach someday?

That would introduce a lot of replay ability to the game offline, and make '12 the best current gen NCAA iteration by a looooong shot!

PS: If you can't answer it specifically, will you at least be able give a Yes/No on whether Coaching Carousel has any integration with other game modes?

You can see in the stanford screen shot that when they hired a new coach they are using the ark playbook so thats in.

The are coach presitge so im sure that will have some effect on something.

its ok. i want ea to deliver what they promise to the consumers. Im all about gameplay. if the game doesn't feel right then whats the point of dynasty mode and a improved RTG. i liked them adding double hit and consecutive hit tackles(finally after 7yrs lol) but that new zone coverage scares me. in the trailer, i didn't like how the db's where sliding and gliding to get into position. it seemed as if they sped up the backpedaling which can cause for more cheating A.I. i would like to play dynasty mode online with my friends, but if they dont fix that, then its another year of NCAA 07 for ps2 lol.

I think(hope) so. I think you will be able to set requirements for your part of your team. For Ex. QB: Scrambling

# 291 illwill10 @ 05/19/11 07:09 PM

Will there be a RTG preview tomorrow?
I cant wait to monday

# 292 NoDakHusker @ 05/19/11 07:34 PM

I'm going to cry this looks so amazing. EA listened this year! It looks so freaking awesome.

# 293 buckeye02 @ 05/19/11 07:38 PM

It would be awesome if you were a D cordinator and could only recruit defensive players and athletes. Makes sense.

True. Gameplay is the foundation, w/o a solid foundation you have nothing. We can only hope that the gameplay doesn't ruin the good work they've done in other areas.

# 296 AUChase @ 05/19/11 07:49 PM

After last year, I'm not even worried about the gameplay.

I may even stop reading this forum, when the game releases. I find that I enjoy myself so much more when I don't have people pointing out every single tiny flaw. Just not necessary.. either enjoy the game or don't play it.

I'm looking forward to this.

# 297 JalenTigh @ 05/19/11 07:53 PM

Are real coaches in the game? Or are they generic? If so are all coaches editable and savable like the player rosters?

This really is way more then I was expecting, no way was I ever thinking we could play as coordinators... at most I thought they would be in game and we could hire/fire them like Madden. EA is really upping their game this year.

# 298 buckeye02 @ 05/19/11 07:53 PM

The coaching carousel is a great addition, but i dont think im going to start my career as a coordinator if im actually going to be playing the games. I want full control of what goes on out on the field. I like playing offense and defense. I want to be able to recruit both sides of the ball if im going to be playing both sides of the ball.

This gives us 2nd option to go about playing dynasty mode. Another way is playing the coaching role and simulating games. I wonder if you can call plays as a defensice coordinator and watch the play happen from a coaches perspective. Thus simulating the plays in the game without actually playing defense.

Man if football gaming becomes good again I might as well cancel my life...

Coaches are generic but are editable just like player rosters.
