[USCChiFan]

Glad that they improved Road to Glory, because it needed a lot of work IMO

 

[tbo41fan]

[Uman85]

I'll definitely be picking this one up. I just wish they'd bring back NCAA Basketball.

 

[HighJump31]

Dreadlocks. Finally.

 

[poodski]

I would be interested in that if I bought it.

Just not sure if I am willing to spend the money on it as it never seems better.

We shall see.

DYNASTY MODE

Custom Conferences

Instead of just being able to swap teams between conferences, now you can expand or shrink conferences from four to sixteen teams
You can set conference rules from allowing Thursday games, protected rivals, division names/alignment, scheduling of conference games, location of the conference championship game, and more
You can also edit the bowl tie-ins, so the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl could not include the Big 12 or remove tie-ins altogether and just go off of straight BCS rankings. You could even make it so independents like Notre Dame don't have a tie-in to any bowls, which sounds like a great plan
No conference creation or BCS playoff-style tournament
Conferences can be changed from year to year

Create a Coach/Coaching Carousel

Start out as either a head coach (use an existing coach or one create one from scratch) or coordinator. Coordinators naturally only call and run plays for their side of the ball. Coordinators will still recruit, however
Can edit any coaches/players that are existing on the disc. This can be posted as a file online for others to download
The game wants to replicate the coaching carousel of the NCAA, so your contract status and goals will be closely monitored from year to year. Depending on the school, you'll get goals like getting a bowl birth, having a top recruiting class, winning a national championship, and much more. For coordinators, goals will be stat based
Your coaching prestige and job security change from week to week, so you'll have to ride the rollercoaster all season, and this also affects your recruiting. If you're on the hot seat, for example, players may be less inclined to sign onto your program
AI coaches will retire, get fired, and hop from job to job, and this will affect the entire coaching landscape. The AI will hire coaches based on things like whether a candidates is an alum or not, coaching style, etc. You will also get offers while you are currently employed
Although you can start out as a coordinator, when you are a head coach you do not hire your coordinator positions
In online dynasties, the commish sets what level everyone is at, whether that's one-star defensive coordinators or full-on high-caliber head coaches

Online Dynasty Web Browser

Commish can advance the week from the web – but only if you pay a one-time fee of $2.99 or 240 Microsoft Points
You can super-sim your games versus the CPU on the web – including calling plays, modifying your depth chart, and more. You can also pause the game at any time, sim forward a quarter, etc. Again, however, this will cost you a one-time fee of $2.99 or 240 Microsoft Points
Both of the above browser features can be bought in one Commissioner Pack for $6.99/560 MP, and the pack also includes the ability to be commish to up to five dynasties

Misc.

Custom Playbooks: Add remove plays and formations at will. You can set up exactly how you see your playbook, from grouping all medium passes to putting all play-action plays together, and more. This is not sortable via your NCAA browser page
Recruiting in Dynasty mode has been tuned, but not changed greatly

A CCS online dynasty would be sweet

 

[bobferg]

It really pisses me off that there are never any WHITE runningback or cornerback recruits. Usually after I dominate my Dynasty for about 10-15 years I start messing around and try to only recruit white players. Well they never have any white RBs or CBs.

I know realistically there are not many white guys at those positions, but lets be real... they do exist.

Also the create your own coach is such an easy thing that will help the game play. I can't believe they didn't do that earlier.

 

[cubsneedmiracle]

If you guys want to do an online dynasty.. either 360 or ps3 let me know..

Id be interested.

It's pretty good. Not much difference thus far.

Won my first online game vs Alabama. I was Michigan.

Starting RTG now. Definitely different.

Yep, the number 1 guy was 18-2 with lower average opponent level. I'm not quite sure how the rankings work.

I was top hundred for like an hour, back when I had the game before everyone else. lol.
