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.

same thing I was thinking. How many jobs, gfs/wives will be lost this year cuz of NCAA and Madden?

I can't quit coming back to this thread! This game is ultimately going to ruin my social life and my relationship with my girlfriend! lol I have no doubt about that! With the customization that we now have (and possibly more customization to come), the possibilities are endless within Dynasty! I've literally not been this estatic about NCAA in years (even though I do get NCAA every year midnight release, it's been a tradition amongst my friends). July 12th, don't make me wait!

Great news! Thanks for telling us

I hope they added some limits on the players positions. Like maybe no more than 5 QB on the roster at once. To help with the issue last year. You should need no more than 5 in any case. I only keep 4.

# 411 slingblade73 @ 05/20/11 10:21 AM

I also would like to see some commish tools for OD. I would like to see a setting than would not allow any schollie player to be cut. I would like to see the class limit set to 17 every year as that is the correct ration to a 70 man roster. We use this as a house rule and it helps parity. In the end I have found my roster works to my advantage when I can promise playing time and that the player is the only one I am recruiting at that position each year.

One other thing that would be nice is to be able to some how communicate to a recruit the position you want him at. Most of the time I will move a DE to OLB. If I could tell him that is where he will play then he can see the depth and make a better choice.

Can you choose the home field for the highest ranked team for the conference championship like the Pac 10 did?

I would imagine the function is there as the C-USA also does this and has been in the game already.

I wonder if you can change your coaches outfit per game?

First couple of games you have the normal coaches shirt then for one game you can wear a suit then you can have a sweater vest for the November games.

# 417 illwill10 @ 05/20/11 12:43 PM

The thing that I like the most is that if you start off as a OC for a 1-2 star school there is a high chance that you will not have a great record. Unless your team has a Great defense, you will have to coach your butt off.
hopdfully there a coach grades like recruiting so 6 star teams wont win every year

I'm sure you can. All you have to do is go in an edit your coaches attire before each game or whatnot.

....
