Time for my own dumb question. How do you load a different dynasty? I only get the options to start or continue and if I continue it just loads the last one I played.
There's a second tab on the main menu that also has a dynasty option if you go down to that one of the options is load.

4 games into the season, I lost my starting tight end to an Achilles tear. He's a junior and the injury is effectively ending his career. He might be able to return for a championship game next season.

I’m about to play for the National Championship season one of my dynasty. Have played against Utah three times in one season. Regular season, Big12 Championship, and again in the Playoffs.

Sounds like this game was a huge hit. Also heard Xbox has sold a ton of xboxs over the last couple weeks

Granted, the $99.99 deluxe version wasn't the only way to get the early access.

I bought the MVP bundle that included EA College Football and Madden 25 for $149.99 (average of $75 a game), that came/comes with early access to both games.

Okay, so here is my small school recruiting itinerary. Again, this is Ball State I'm doing. It's cheesy/gamey, but this is a game. Plus, there just isn't many recruiting hours to throw around at this level so you have to be picky or you're going to end up with a LOT of 1 or 2 stars just to fill a roster.

1. Never recruit 2 stars or below. Just don't need it.
2. Preseason, scout all of the 3 stars with interest in you to try and find gems. Offer any 3/4 stars you can with any interest, focusing on the gems and the 4 stars.
3. Week zero - Bring the house to any 3 star gems and 4 stars ONLY IF THEY DON'T HAVE OTHER OFFERS. Max you're doing this for is 7 guys if you only have 350 recruiting hours.
4. Week 1 and 2. Repeat. Immediately drop any recruiting hours you're putting in on a guy if they get any other offer. As a 1 star program, you'll get beat I promise you. You'll probably get really close to a commit or get a commit on a few of them.
5. Week 3 you're starting to find guys that don't have other offers. NEVER SCOUT DURING THE SEASON. Not enough recruiting hours. Just find 4 stars with no offers, hopefully in your pipeline, and offer them and bring the house. Can probably start breaking up some of the 3 star gems, only doing the 25 hour friends and family to start expanding the offers.

Rinse and repeat. There will probably be even 3 star high school recruits with no offers in the offseason. Offer, bring the house.

I got I think two 4 star recruits in year 1 and I've got a few 4 star recruits in year 2 so far but only a few games into the season.

I do some gamey stuff with the schedule - I schedule road games at ND, Purdue, Indiana and beat them all because screw those other Indiana schools. I sim most of the the rest of the games minus the two rivalries. I only went like 7-6 in year 1 so it's not like I'm totally cheesing out and winning the natty to get the program prestige way up.

Does the computer consistently miss short field goals from the hash against you guys? In my dynasty I think they are 0 for 4 inside 25 kicking from an angle. Meanwhile they have nailed all 3 over 50 yard attempts including a 58!

I had Air Force bomb a 54 yarder on me that wouldn't been good from 64.

But yes, I have had a few missed XPs or very short FGs here and there

Started my dynasty 6-0 on Varsity and in the Top 10… decided I needed a better challenge and bit the bullet and went to All American. 5 Ints later, I lost a nailbiter to UCF 17-14 on a last second field goal. After I came back and tied it on a drive with three 4th down conversions.

I’ll probably lose several more games but it was worth it. Love how intense and fun close games are late in dynasty! Bring on the challenge.

AA has been a pretty good difficulty for me so far. 7-5 for two years with isu and in my third year it feels like I finally have the roster to compete for a conf title, 7-1 so far.

89 overall JR QB suffered a “low back strain” and it’s a career ender. 72 overall QB getting an opportunity
Just saw the same on reddit with a guy's freshman QB. Has to be a glitch. I can believe a career ending injury, but not from a back strain.

Glad to know it starts to level out. Was also about .500 my first year in AA and my first two games of year two were so maddening I switched to varsity. But varsity doesn’t present any challenge so I’ll suck it up and switch back.

I looked it up a little bit ago

EA has a deal with the NFL that their verbiage for injuries would not be grotesque to the point it could prevent someone from wanting to play. So instead of “broken back,” and telling kids they can break their back playing football, they say back strain, which is the replacement

After winning the natty the first two years at ISU on AA, (90% of the time playing offense only) I decided year 3 I just wanted to recruit and sim the games. Have a 90 offense, 90 defense which was like a top 5 roster. Beat Navy and Iowa by 3 and then lost by 17 to Bowling Green so that’s fun. I did have to replace both OC and DC as they left for a HC job and DC at Florida so I wonder if that has something to do with it

My last Iowa State season I simmed the whole season and won the natty against… UNLV
