The easiest way to get good recruiting classes is leave some scholarships open at the beginning of the season and advance a few weeks into the season. Then looks at 5 and 4 stars. The players you want should say N (0) under offers. This is how you can get some good players with very little competition

Thank god it’s easy to play background music on consoles, I can’t listen to those drums anymore.
Yeah, I had to turn that off. Maddening

I landed the 5th best high school Center prospect during the transfer portal window because I was the only scholarship offer. Offer scholarship, send house. Rinse, repeat.

Is it me or does Varsity mode have a total lack of penalties? Just realized I’m 4 games in on Dynasty and haven’t seen a single penalty on either team.

Depending on how many RPOs you call, you can see some illegal man down field penalties. Holding about once per game. A few roughing the passers, and shockingly a few roughing the kickers as well.

I'm playing on whatever is one up from varsity and I have gotten an alarming amount of roughing the punter penalties.

I've resorted to just calling a base defense on 4th down to avoid the risk of being called for roughing the kicker/punter.

Is anyone else disappointed with the in game stadium music and sounds. No “That’s a Cyclone FIRST DOWN. The cyclone warning sirens are off in pitch. No juicy wiggle, grove st party or sweet Caroline.

I think the gameplay is overall really good which is obviously most important, but it’s missing some of the extra stuff.

The options when you’re creating a coach feel like a step 20 years backwards, just a bunch of stock faces and 2 shirt choices? No menu music or even fight songs.

Some parts of the game feel great, mostly the actual game part, but a lot feels rushed or feels like they cut corners.

Tons of potential though.

I agree, the game is very fun. Maybe we will get those little details we want in next years game.

I roughed the punter in the cy hawk game and thought how typical it would be for us to make a boneheaded play like that in that game.

Hopefully they add some hot fixes over the next couple months to add some things.
