And if I did make that claim, I would be correct, so what's your point?

This isn't the instate rivals thread. Unless you want to follow along with the topic of the thread then I would suggest you take a hike.

That and being able to edit say uniforms further along in the dynasty mode. I was running a dynasty (still am actualy into year 2013) from NCAA 08, well before the new darker USC-style jerseys. All i wanted to do was put the new colors in there. If only you could access the "edit-school" function during dynasty mode like you can "edit rosters"

+1 Edit uniforms and stadiums

I think it'd be cool if you download attributes of "nameless" players for future years. Like, I think I'm in 2014 on '03 NCAA football, I'd like to update my roster. 09 has much worse stadium graphics for ISU

As I move deeper and deeper in my Cyclone dynasty, (in NCAA 08 you can "create-a-prospect") I like to create my favorite cyclone players from years past at whatever position i need... Currently i have Seneca Wallace as QB, Troy Davis at RB, Todd Blythe at WR and am currently recruiting Ace Bowen for MLB

There were 2 other posts making fun of Iowa yet you always seem to single mine out. Interesting.... I think so. As you can see there are plenty of us (Cyclone fans) who would just like to talk about the topic of this thread which my post about the drunken announcers was. It is called a joke. Grow up DJK. Seriously.

I haven't played one of the NCAA games since the 08 version, but I think it would be cool if you could hire assistant coaches and also loose assistant coaches to differnt jobs if you don't raise their pay. It could start with coordinators and progress from there to position coaches. They could have different attributes for things like recruiting, player developement... You could choose from an OC who emphasizes recruiting when you need an influx of talent, then when you have better talent, get a guy who can develope them. OC's and DC's could have certain specialties like an OC who specializes in developing QB's and a DC with a linbacker specialty. You could also incorporate your playbooks available to what assistant you hire. Say you hire a genius OC who brings an awesome spread formation playbook and specializes in QB's. :wink:
Hiring coaches and stuff could be limited to a new AD mode, and you could also incorporate stadium projects (which I also have always wanted) into the AD mode.
Unfortunately for NCAA games, I think EA doesn't like to tackle anything involving money, so no coaching salaries, etc. Bowl games just get you more "points" and stuff.

EA does have some stuff like this in the Madden games, but I haven't played those much since I played them on Sega!

That would be awesome. Also depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the assistants you hire it can raise or lower the attributes of your current players as well as help or hurt your ability to recruit certain types of players.

An OC that specializes in the spread offense that features far more passing then running could hinder your ability to sign high caliber running backs etc...

A DC that runs a very aggressive defensive scheme could attract higher caliber defensive recruits etc....

This could also add a new twist to the game by allowing the computer based on the OC or DC you hire to select which plays your offense or defense will run thus stopping a guy from running the same 2 plays all game and racking up like 700yds passing or having a running back rush for like 300yds per game. Also eliminates running the same defensive play like a blitz and sacking the opponents qb like 20 times in a single game. I think this would really add a more realistic feel to the game.

If you don't like the plays being called by the guys you hired then you can fire their *** and hire a new one. They could also put a fan meter on there with the approval rating for each of the assistants. IF the fans hate the OC it could affect attendence etc... so when the fans are unhappy you have to decide to stick with the guy you have or make a move to bring in someone else.

Let's raise the stakes. The "Who's the troll poll" where each CF member gets a vote for who they would like banned from CF permanently.... Me or DJK.

Jeremy and the mods can run it.
