NCAA Dynasty Update Thread

[Ravin]

Well I moved FIU up to a 2 star program now. And with that I have Duke, UCF and Georgia on my schedule this year. Should be interesting. All my recruits are 3 star players as well.

 

[Ravin]

FIU 28 - Duke 23

Just upset Duke! I was up 14-9 at the half, and what sealed it was a 96 yard fumble recovery that left me with a 2 yard run for a touchdown.

My new QB is Dalton who tossed for 333 yards on 20/41 throws and 3 TDs. But what seems like worse then last season he was sacked 7 times. The right side of my line is very weak and guys are just running right through me.

Also had my first 100 yard game with a guy other then Carroll. New RB Mallary ran for 102 yards on 20 attempts and a TD. I really think I may switch up the playbook and try another schools. Maybe go NCSU since I use them already and they have a nice balance of run and pass. Didn't really want to switch the playbook, but always coming out of shotgun is getting really tough to control games. Plus with low WR, I can't be Oregon and throw all the time.

 

[Rylo]

Hell yeah.

What type of offense you running?

PLAY OF THE YEAR


There were two plays of the year, really. Both helped me secure the SEC title, but for whatever reason EA won't let me upload the first one.

I'll describe it to you I guess ... on 3rd and 16 late in the 4th quarter, trailing Florida by 7 in the SEC championship game, Justin Cooper stepped up in the pocket and took off running; we were already in range to kick a field goal but he refused to let us settle. He was hit by two defenders a yard short of the marker, but fell forward to pick up the first.

On the next play, Brandon Harris pin balled his way into the end zone to bring us within a point.

We missed the two-point conversion, but ended up kicking a game winning field goal on the next and final possession. Without that touchdown, we are really against the ropes on that final drive instead of only needing three points.

PASSING STATS

NAME|#|CL|RTG|COMP|ATT|YDS|TD|INT|CMP%|LONG|SACK
Justin Cooper|3|SO(RS)| 121.2 | 143 | 282 | 1960 | 17 | 11 | 50 | 71 |41
Keith Craft|17|FR(RS)|91.2|4|10|61|0|0|40|34|7

Cooper is frustrating. You would never guess from his stats that he has a 96 accuracy rating. For whatever reason I just can’t put together two straight good games with him. He hasn’t done anything to prevent us from winning back-to-back conference championships, and he stayed out of the way enough to win a national title as a redshirt freshman, but he is nowhere near the point of carrying us on his own.

I had hopes for Craft to put some pressure on Cooper and maybe win the job someday, but while he’s got a solid arm and acc profile (91-90) he doesn’t do anything to wow me and is not mobile at all. Looking like a career backup at this point since I just landed a 4-star out of Mississippi that I really like.

RUSHING STATS

NAME|#|CL|ATT|YDS|AVG|TD|LONG|FUM
Jarvis Cronin|18|SR| 147 | 821 |5.5| 9 |58|0
Brian Gaston|42|SO(RS)|123|646|5.2|8| 80 |0
Brandon Harris|5|FR(RS)|68|332|4.8|6|56|1
Tommy Culver|1|JR|13|78| 5.9 |0|15|1

Gaston was third on the depth chart until Cronin went down with the injury. Since the guy ahead of him (Harris) is more of a scatback, we were forced to lean on Gaston as the every-down guy. He rewarded us with several huge games down the stretch and was critical to the 8-game win streak.

Harris was a 5-star two years ago and redshirted last season. He was a modest disappointment to start the year, but he had a beak out performance as a runner and punt returner in the SEC Championship Game. Both guys are coming back so this unit should remain strong even without Big Cro'.


RECEIVING STATS

NAME|#|POS|CL|REC|YDS|AVG|TD|LONG
Tommy Culver|1|WR|JR| 35 | 517| 14.7| 6 |64
Gavin Witherspoon|82|TE|JR|27|274|10.1|1|27
Ryan Williams|19|WR|SR(RS)|26|388|14.9|5| 71
Dane Dixon|85|WR|SO|23|488| 19.4 |4|48
Brian Russell|13|WR|FR|21|210|10.0|0|28
Justin Greene|4|WR|FR|4|61|15.2|1|20

Ryan Williams was a huge disappointment. He came into the year with high expectations, being the only senior in the group and carrying a 94 OVR rating. His lack of awareness did him in because he would never run the correct route and showed no ability to get open.

Culver was the most reliable of the bunch, but he played in the slot due to his short stature. Between him and the tight end Witherspoon we were solid underneath, but we lacked a deep threat all season, mainly because Williams turned out to be a sack of shit.


DEFENSIVE STATS

NAME|#|POS|CL|SOLO|ASSIST|TFL|SACK|INT|FF|FR|DEF TD
Corey Gardner|12|LB|SR(RS)| 48 | 24 | 19 |4.0|3|0|0|0
Nate Fowler|2|LB|SR(RS)|47|22|15|2.0|3|2| 2 |1
Maurice Davis|46|LB|SR(RS)|39|16|18|2.0|0|2|1|1
Robert Bray|SS|10|JR(RS)|37|13|12|0.0|3|0|0|0
Jacques McNeil|21|FS|SR(RS)|35|21|6|0.0|1|2|1|0
Jacob Baker|16|DE|JR(RS)|28|12|13|8.0|0|2|0|0
Trevor Reese|51|LB|JR(RS)|26|8|7|2.0|1|1|1|0
Doug Slaughter|29|CB|SR(RS)|25|12|0|0.0| 4 |0|0|0
Lewis McFadden|25|CB|SO(RS)|22|17|4|0.0|1|0|1| 2
Rick Christian|48|DE|SO(RS)|20|8|17| 10.0 |0|1|0|0

Quite obviously, the two 5th-year senior linebackers, Gardner and Fowler, were really fucking good this season. That is the luxury of having depth and being able to redshirt defensive players. We had a few extra OVR points on defense thanks to the extra years of progression we were able to gain through redshirting.

When Cronin "The Barbarian" signed with LSU as a 5-star athlete, I originally planned to play him at tight end or fullback. He showed up with much more speed and agility than his modest scouting profile would have led me to believe. And with his porous RBK and PBK ratings, he pretty much forced me to leave him at RB.

He began as strictly the short yardage back, wearing the number 33 after his childhood hero Tim Riggins. After bullying his way to five touchdowns and 230 yards as a freshman he became a fan favorite. In between his freshman and sophomore year, he was selected to wear the fabled number 18. Despite never posting a thousand yard season, Cronin still amassed 2200 career yards in his three and a half years at LSU. Tragically, his senior season was cut short when he tore a pectoral against Mississippi State and missed 11 weeks.

The most amazing thing about Cro' is that he thrived off of contact, gaining over 1/3 of his yards after the first hit, yet he never once coughed the ball up. With his seemingly impossible size and speed combo, he is one of the most unique players I've ever recruited in the NCAA series.

BONUS HIGHLIGHT

Your typical Jarvis Cronin run.

Damn dude that update is legit. I need to do updates like that lol.

On that note your 6 game win streak helped you out big time. Your QB's consistency is pretty questionable, but hopefully he does better next year.

Also I am so pissed none of my highlights are saved. IDK what the fuck is wrong with my shit.

I think I'm gonna update less between games but do a big update like this after every season. And a Hellisan HOF inductee will be added every season :shifty:

Oh and the win streak actually got up to 8, forgot to count the SEC CG and bowl game.

MM Dynasty days>>>>All.

Finished my season as the MAC Champions (3rd year straight) & beating FIU @ the GoDaddy's.com Bowl. Got an extension for 3 years with Kent St. (decided not to try for the Houston job, which Sumlin was fired...is now OC at Nevada). I had 15 All-MAC AA (5 of them NCAA AA). My SR(RS) TE, Casey Pierce, won his 2nd Mackey Award (won it as a SO(RS)). Randy Roberson won the Nagurski Award with 62 TKLS (33 TFL) & 11.5 sacks. I finished ranked #19 in both Coaches & Media Polls.

 

[Rylo]

I will be posting an update on year 2019 with Miami in a bit. Amazing season!

 

[Ravin]

Hell yeah.

What type of offense you running?

I'm using FIU offence which I think is the spread. Basically they have Pistol and Shotgun, and I'd say 97% of the time I run the shotgun because pistol basically has only a few plays to run that do anything worth while. If I run the ball I use pistol because I have two options at a one back or two back system.

 

[Esjay]

Found some sliders at OS that I'm trying. Gonna start a coaching career as an OC, see where that leads me. Hopefully I will remember to post some updates, I love this thread.

 

[FirstTimer]

What sliders you using NAHSTE?

 

[FirstTimer]

Also, what rosters is everyone using?

 

[Rylo]

I use Fairdale Kings Rosters and I am about to post up my sliders. They are from OS, just tweaked to my liking and difficulty preferred.

Also Miami 2019 update coming asap. Made it to the big show FINALLY!

 

[NAHSTE]

Also, what rosters is everyone using?

I think I used BlockO and Gator's from OS. They do them every year and it's usually solid.

As for sliders, KNUBB created a set way back when the game first released that turned out to be perfect for my skill set. I've made some tweaks to them but I'll post what I'm currently using tonight when I get home.

[Rylo]

AA.

 

[mgoblue2290]

I play on All American too. On Heisman they seriously know your play and its just annoying. I adjust the sliders to make AA more difficult. I get good games with mine, I usually beat teams I should and have close games or lose to teams equal or better than me. For example, Georgia Tech and Missouri both beat the hell out of me and I had to play the game of my life to beat Texas.

 

[Irish]

On Heisman the defense does know your play. I have become really good at adapting to that. Say I want to run the ball, I will try to pick a formation that is good to run out of and pick a pass play that the CPU considers a deep pass. Then audibling down to quick pass to bring them into man coverage then into a run play. Usually if I come out in a 3 wide formation with a deep pass play they will only bring 3 down lineman with at least 5 DBs. I do the opposite for when I want to pass. Come out in run, audible to something else until notice favorable coverage then to a deep pass. I've become really good at manipulating the CPU into a play I want. The main idea is originally picking a play exactly the opposite of what you want to do then audible a couple times into it. I can do it for almost every play except options. I still have no idea how the CPU chooses to defend option plays.

It's the only way to get Heisman level CPU without the major cheapness. Even tho I feel real cheap doing it.
