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'm happy with it as it is now, because I'm sure they'll build off of it in future.

I agree with you which I'm finding myself doing often. That kind of overhaul will take more than a year also I rather have this than nothing. This is why it bugs me we got so much useless fluff pretty much all this gen. If they would have step to the plate sooner we would be at an elite game already.

Not sure if this has been answered in the earlier posts but you CAN recruit as a coordinator

So excited. Now my toughest decision is where to reserve....GAMESTOP (local store hasnt had a ncaa midnight release ever) or AMAZON (have 50$ giftcard)

# 466 TheU1994 @ 05/22/11 01:55 PM

you can still take over like 6 teams in dynasty mode if you want to right?

I always have to wait until the midnight release list for Gamestop gets released to pre-order that store, I usually end up having to drive a bit but it's worth it

Anybody have an idea on what time the blog is going to come out tomorrow?

# 469 TheU1994 @ 05/22/11 02:32 PM

also, lets saay i start a dynasty with penn state as Head Coach (joe paterno). after a year or two, hes gonna retire, once he retires does that mean my dynasty is over? because that would be stupid, or will i get to choose the next head coach for the school and take over as him?

I'm half way on the EA wagon. Only if they can fix the broadcast cam. To where their playable meaning "working the thumbs". Not just pick and watch the action. Hell I'll buy two copies first day....

Just making a prediction here, but I think the world is ending tomorrow at 6:00 am in every time zone, so we won't get to see the blog and the surprising release of coaches ratings after everyone was worried, myself included.

Agree completely, if they had put the kind of effort they've put into 11 and 12, since 07, the game could be on par with NBA 2k11. I just hope they continue this kind of effort every year, and don't fall back into complacency again.
