Yeah I'll see, I have enjoyed building up a weaker team but it just gets frustrating sometimes. I wish the guidelines were a bit stricter so everyone starts on the same playing field.

unless the rules are changed to make it stricter (nobody wanted it this year) going with a 2 star team in a weak conference is no fun. Can't compete recruit wise. So it contradicts the idea of building up a team

Since Clemson is most likely going to be pushed back to a 3* prestige program next year, Story will wanna come back to renew our rivalry from NCAA 10.

It sounds like next year they will have coaching contracts in for Online Dynasties. They have been hinting towards it in their updates. They may also have conference (EDIT) invites, so for example, after Nevada won the NC, they may have been bumped to the Pac10 replacing whoever their worst team is. If these things make it in, it will make this dynasty kick so much more ass.

I'll get my game in tomorrow, but already recruited. There's about four games already completed. Bad news is I have just two Commits which nets me about second worst in the country. :(

NCAA '12 getting an option to move a team to another conference will be great. That's what I was referring to on the last page about Nevada going to the PAC-10 if GCQ was enabled. I would probably be stashed in the Big East if Marshall got moved up.

However, I don't care for the contracts stuff for it. I do enjoy sticking with one team which I started building.

Two spots are open that would be filled after our season's over (in about a week or two) if anyone's interested. Read the OP for the rules, and if you're still interested PM me.

Some people have fun building a team from nothing. Even though it has been frustrating for me, since I didn't know what I was getting into, I feel good about taking a 2* team and growing them to a 6*. Early on I finished last in recruiting almost every year but as I won and my pitches/prestige got better my recruits did as well. So I don't see how it's any contradiction at all. If you start as a 2* and stay there then I would agree with you but I don't think that has been the case in the league.

Pretty much. Bottom line is, if you win, and do it consistently, you WILL get better recruits and build your team no matter who they are. I've been playing this game since all the way back in NCAA '99 and for the most part, that's always been the case. I wish I did have power to change conferences at any point, though, given the online side's lack of it.

Starting at where we do (the 3 stars or below) takes into account both sides of the equation: your actual playing ability and your ability to recruit and build a team through that. Everybody (not counting people who come in later, of course) starts at roughly the same level, and what you do from that point is all on you.

I agree but the only thing I would say is that even with winning with a lower team the prestige goes up much faster than the pitches do so it's still very challenging. I'm 5* currently but half of my pitches are C's so when going for the top recruits the better schools will beat me out. Hopefully next year some of those C's will turn to B's, although some like Academic Rating and Conference Prestige will remain the same.

Yeah...

The CPU was in one of those moods...to the extreme. I received the ball to start out the game and drove the ball pretty well on my opening drive. Of course that wasn't allowed, so once I got inside the 5-yard line my normally reliable HB (that has 84 CAR) fumbled the ball. It got picked up by one of Louisville's D-linemen who literally just shrugged off two tackles and took the ball back 93 yards for a touchdown.

Lousville's wide receivers were completely indefensible the entire game. The CPU QB dropped 350 yards passing on my defense. The few balls that didn't hit their target bounced right off of my DB's hands every time. It felt like my wide receivers were constantly dropping passes they were open on.

It wasn't even as close as the score indicates. It was so out of control that I was actually down 37-7 going into the 4th quarter. I only barely managed to get myself back into the game and tie it up somehow, before the CPU effortless drove down the field with under two minutes left to win it.

Very frustrating game.

I had one of those this season against Florida. CPU caught two TDs--both off tipped balls. And I think I fumbled four times, two of which were returned for TDs. It was absurd.

Same thing happened with Iowa. I was up 31-10 and then they went crazy and I couldn't cover their receivers. I also fumbled 3 times, which was BS. I took the lead back with 30 seconds left and then they went 90 yards in 3 plays to score with no time left. Luckily they missed the extra point and I won 38-37.

Crazy to see 2 of the BIG3 go down in the same season.
So many questions remain:

Will Texas Tech fall in the National Championship?
Will Rutgers be able to bounce back next week??
Will Storybook return now that he has been vindicated???
Will Minnesota continue it's Texas-esque fall from grace????
Will There be an all CPU National Championship like Coach Natural predicted????



Stay tuned!!

I still have to play mik before I get to the national championship, and I'm sure he's looking to avenge the loss he gave himself in the other league. I'd be surprised if I won that game.

If Cal beats USC and Arkansas beats Florida in the SEC Championship, it could be Texas Tech VS Nevada in the National Championship.

What are you saying about Minnesota? A Texas-esque collapse would have me missing a bowl game, which isn't going to happen. Heck, I still have a small chance for an at-large BCS berth. Also, I'm right about where I was last year.

True. I just don't think Mik has the talent to be the force he once was. I've got my eye on San Diego State since they will be moving up to 4*'s next season. Going to be interesting to see how the coaching changes shake things up next year.

I definitely don't have the same kind of speed I've had the past few years. Same goes for the pass rush--it's pretty non-existent for me now. Oh, and my kicker has a leg made of overcooked penne pasta.

Must have been robo-CPU week. Despite just giving up 7 points, they were breaking tackles like Anquan Boldin and their LDE looked like Jared Allen. My guys were often in bad positions, kind of awkward since they were everywhere last game vs. a much higher quality opponent. Still got the W, and injury free. South Carolina up next!

Man, the next 2 weeks are going to be crucial to many guys' chances for the BCS Championship or just getting/staying in the BCS picture. Heck, this could also be the first year of a CPU/CPU Championship game unless Arkansas can upset Florida. :| If Nevada loses at all they drop from the Rose Bowl to the Kraft Hunger Bowl (Emerald Bowl in the game)... OUCH! :lol

Here are my BCS Bowl Projections. The at larges other than the Rose Bowl are total toss-ups, but I'll pick them anyway.

BCS National Championship: USC (#1) vs Texas Tech (#2)
Rose Bowl: Michigan St (Big Ten Champion) VS Nevada (At Large)
Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech (ACC Champion) vs Minnesota (please! :lol) (At Large)
Fiesta Bowl: Rutgers (Big East Champion) vs Florida (At Large)
Sugar Bowl: Arkansas (SEC Champion) vs Oklahoma/Texas (At Large)
