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.

I have a question. Can multiple users control coaches for one team. Example Im a headcoach, x is the OC, and y is the DC and they can eventually leave my school? Or are user coaches only allowed for their own teams.

It should take years to actually get to the dream schools. Also, I don't want to get fired after one bad season, but after maybe 2-3 in a row.

Al Golden went 8-4 and 9-4 at Temple

Lol i know what you mean though it shouldn't be too easy to move up.

with dynasty and the ability to do whatever we want , i wonder if this also means that we can pick the time frames for the games too. i really hope so big time. that would be a cherry on top of a sundae

1. How are the Season Goals determined?
I saw get 2000 yards rushing & 65% pass com. What if my offense prevents me from getting a goal completed.

2. Will there be new coaches coming up later in Dynastys?
Lets say will say 20+ seasons in Dynasty. Alot of coaches might be retired. WIll there new coaches coming up. Can we create new ones.

How come the colors in this IGN video looked amazing, yet the screenshots and videos from EA always look so faded? I hope what I just saw in this video color and content-wise is identical to the game this year.

It's funny and our HC was a WR coach

Not bashing him though, I'm definately still All In!

Not to hijack thread but I wonder if you have to hire (if they give us the ability to hire coordinators) both a OC and DC because my Aggies only have a DC and Coach Sherman is basically the OC....thoughts?

What does Protected Rivals means? Does that mean rivalries can start up and end unless protected? Can we pick rivalries?

I think it's for the cross division match-ups that will be played every year and not be rotated. EX: Michigan-Ohio State.

i'm assuming protected rivals basically means no matter what, they play every year in conference play, even when they're not in the same division. that's what I got from the context of the video.

# 451 DorianDonP @ 05/21/11 11:14 AM

I wonder how many rivalries can be protected per conference. And I wonder if we can lock in when the rivalry takes place (what time of the year). I wish there was also an option to change the location of each rivalry game if you wanted to. For example, if I wanted to make FSU vs Miami a neutral site game in Orlando every year if I wanted to like the Red River Shootout.

# 452 JayRock @ 05/21/11 01:11 PM

Sucks that the devs went through all this work only for the rapture to happen later today.

I hope we can do something like that. I would go ridiculous one year though and have the FS Who - Miami all the way on the west coast for kicks.

Also, I hope for coaches we can have them be old enough to make Joe Pa in the game realistically and I hope when creating/editing coaches we can choose what we want their record to be up to that point. I don't want every coach to be 0-0 in their careers at the start of a dynasty.

The rapture's going to happen on July 11 when I start this game up. And it's going to take an extra scoop of detergent to clean it up.

# 455 cowboykmoney @ 05/21/11 05:42 PM

I cant wait till this game drops.

# 456 tarheelguy4736 @ 05/21/11 06:34 PM

Not going to lie, but Im pretty stoked about this game. I know we've only got bits and pieces of the information right now but we have gotten seems tremendous in the eyes of a dynasty player. Can't wait to see what else they reveal!

I think you forgot to put a C in this post somewhere.

What got me WAY more excited for NCAA than MAdden is the fact that if think about it everyone knew Franchise was getting Head Coach features with Looman(we didnt know how much). No one was 100% sure that Coaching Carousel would be in NCAA 12. It was either "yea" or "next year". CC was one of the top non-gameplay wishes by gamers the last few years. The fact that it is in and doesnt look half-***ed makes alot of us excited.
I cant wait till Monday for the other info on Dynasty. With CC in, I expect alot of improvements to features in Dynasty. IE recruiting, sim logic, sim stats, bowl logic, and other small stuff.
I dont expect any new type of Heisman presentation(I wouldnt mind an improved PS2 heisman pres.). But I just want them to change the look of it.

I think not having ratings will hurt the addition of CC a good bit. As of now coaching prestige is such a small part of the game(as it should be). Right now I just see a bunch of playbooks moving around, but no difference makers in the overall growth or decline of programs and if programs go up and down it will have nothing to do with coaches head coach or coordinators.

So CC may not be half***ed but without ratings its two-third ***ed.

I think coach ratings are Huge, but I don't think there's any way they could've done a CC with ratings and had a CC in this year. Implementing coach ratings means completely revamping recruiting, player progression, School Prestige, and other area's that they couldn't have done in time. I'm happy with it as it is now, because I'm sure they'll build off of it in future.
