    Another thing I’ve done to keep it fun: Keep track of the players that had a good college career, but didn’t get drafted. Make a new character in your dynasty and create them as an OC/DC at a smaller school. Their Alma mater is the school you’re coaching and their pipeline is their home state. It’s sort of like a coaching tree, but with former players. My former 3 year starter was an 85 overall when he finished. He’s currently the OC at Western Michigan (my Alma mater). I focus solely on QB in his coaching abilities.

    A few things I’ve done!
    1. Take a team builder team from a small conference to a bigger one!
    2. Tweak your sliders to make it more difficult (I.e. dropped passes, QB inaccurate throws)
    3. This is HUGE, turn your play “cool down” to 7-10. You won’t be allowed to run those “go to plays” until you run enough plays to come back to it! This makes you have to use the entire playbook!
    4. Play different positions on defense. Play safety, CB, LB, D-line! The AI reads your mishaps and takes advantage of you being out of position!
    5. Use different playbooks or play styles! It takes some time to get used too!
    BUT AFTER AN 11 year hiatus I WILL NEVER BURN OUT

      I agree with all of what you said, I like to choose 1-2 guys a year and user lock with them on defense. Makes the games a lot harder since you can't ball hawk picks a ton. I think I may turn play cool down up I have it at 3

  • @TheLemon420

    This is really good advice for someone like me. I absolutely hate getting cheesed by the CPU, but I've found it more enjoyable in the long term to just let it happen and play anyways. Also, I have no idea how NOT to cheese the recruiting lol, I haven't even really looked at any videos on how to cheese it but last class I got like 15 5 stars, which is obviously way too many. One thing I will say to keep it fun is to have multiple dynasty modes that have multiple "themes". For example, you might have one where you take your favorite team and make it 99, and win every game, giving your coach a perfect record. Another one you would start at a small school and try to work your way up, or maybe you have one where all you do is sim and then try to win based off of recruiting alone. There's a lot to do in the dynasty mode but since we tend to be creatures of habit, we can get stuck in a rut.

    • @cswee123
      @cswee123  2 місяці тому +1

      Themes are a perfect way to put it. And yes becoming creatures of habits is very normal. As for recruiting I like to put limits around the total I see in real life. So if SMU gets 5 5 starts on average then I will shoot for that. If there is the one player I really want who is number 6 I just subtract one from the next season. Glad you enjoyed!

    I tried starting out as an OC for a small school, and the game still gives me all the HC responsibilities. Then, once I become a successful HC at a small school I pretty much only get OC offers from large schools. Then, when I win it all as HC at a large school, I still just get OC offers from other schools.

    • @cswee123
      @cswee123  2 місяці тому

      Yeah the coaching logic is really confusing. There is a lot of unknown prerequisites you need to meet to get the job. One of the best things I have found is to change your scheme to the team you want to coach. That helps some. The OC and DC thing is a choice by EA in NCAA 14 you were locked out of playing the other side but now you can do both. Also you have always recruited for both which I have never been a fan of.

    Been enjoyable recruiting players and watching them along with the program grow before my eyes.
    Another tiny thing I just recently been enjoy doing in my dynasties is paying attention where my assistant coaches go after accepting a head coach job, and always schedule to face off them every year.
    Speaking of coaching I’m considering to attempt dynasties that involves me and my assistant having no points in recruiting as an extra little challenge.
    Oh and one last thing is I make the Big Ten and SEC super conferences so literacy EVERY game I watch play out matters.

    Honestly the biggest thing that’ll help you not get burn out is just play in moderation. I’ve had the game a week after it came out and I’m only in year 4 of my first dynasty(4 games into year4) and that’s because I only play it like 2-3 times a week.
    Also just be realistic if you doing a dynasty. If you choose a one star don’t try to cheese the recruiting by filling ya board with 4 and 5 star players.

    ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE IT FUN
    SLOW SIM WATCH
    Just Sim and watch the game (obviously not every game) but the most exciting games-
    Pay attention to the top 10 QB’s (through the stats tab) watch them play
    Change up the conferences
    See what teams have the top offensives/def stats (in your dynasty as u sim) in the country, watch them play
    Edit some players here n there to your liking to see how they do in sim
    Create players (change names) like adding Arron Rodgers jr, or a fake lil brother of someone in the NFL , change coach names to former/current NFL PLAYERS/Coaches and change their schemes,,,
    Put some top players in the transfer portal after a good 2 years at a school to see how they will do at another school and track their stats,,,
    Watch the heisman list and focus on them players ,, and watch them play
    Also put some team builders teams in, preferably make your own,,
    Its very fun to me to see what teams get placed in the top 25 and to see which game they’ll have as the NATIONAL TV GAME
    Cut all Auto progression on, edit the sliders to your liking for CPU VS CPU, I always sim 5 years in the future when i start my dynasty

    lol only took 2 months to get bored of a game that was hyped for 10 years

      I wouldn't say bored and burnt out are the same in this context. I also don't feel that particular way I just know some of the community has discussed it

      You’re correct but when I simulate a whole dynasty I don’t really care about my specific team. I’m more curious how it all plays out

      In theory yes but some still want to play but just can't find joy when playing

    I regret buying this game. This the dumbest football i ever played. This crap is worse than a old Nintendo football game. All these years for this crap. No defense every CPU team has 99 speed. The hit stick doesn't work. The fatigue can't be turned off. This game is trash. I rather just stick to Madden and 2k.
