NCAA Dynasty Update Thread

[RyanLeaf16]

Well now I have no idea who I want to play for. I've basically got it down to Texas, Alabama, Ohio or Stanford.

I would go with Alabama

Improvement is the name of the game. In the second game of the season, we traveled to Birmingham to take on UAB.

The score did not end in our favor, as we were defeated 20-10. However, I managed to improve greatly in my second game, toting the rock 16 times for 75 yards and my first collegiate touchdown! I also managed a reception for one measly yard.

Congrats on your first college TD. Also, sounds like you played much better with more opportunities against UAB.

Looks like it's time to go back to the drawing board after a 24-0 throttling at the hands of the Duke Blue Devils. Most frustrating is my OC's unwillingness to give me any sort of real chance to help the team.

I ran the ball just 6 times for 25 yards and also managed to snag 2 receptions for a whopping three yards.

The Tulane D helped us none, allowing three TDs on Duke's first three possessions, putting us in a 21-point hole in the 1st Quarter. From then on, our coaches thought it was time to simply air it out.

I spent most of the game thinking about pizza and wondering how that guy behind me got a scholarship.​

24-0 to Duke? I know David Cutcliffe is a good coach, but, damn. The OC has got to stick with what works.

I want a play book that actually allows me to run and I think bama and stanford were the two books that did that the most.

Third game through, 7 tackles 1 TFL (which i thought was a sack) still only 40 points. Still don't pass rush well

Fourth game, INT for a TD, but fucking game froze

Well, this season looks to be utter ass-in-a-handbag. We just lost again to an 0-4 Army team by a score of 16-7.

I had 6 carries for 14 yards and 6 catches for 23 yards. The playcalling on this team is somehow worse than my high school squad and my QB really enjoys throwing directly to the opposing defenders.

 

[BrntO4Life]

And just like that, we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory! We lost 24-21 against UTEP on a end-of-game FG because my QB turned the ball over on our last two possessions.

I had 10 carries for 49 yards, as well as 4 catches for 11 yards.

Fuck my life.

 

[BrntO4Life]

A WIN IS FINALLY ON THE BOOKS! After week after week of disappointment and embarassment, we managed to squeak out a 16-10 victory over Memphis in triple overtime! The winning TD came off of a recovered fumble in the endzone when my QB tried to run it in, got hit (and injured), fumbled, and one of my lineman recovered in the endzone.

I had 22 carries for 78 yards and 4 receptions for 22 yards.

WOOHOO!

Running hard in the 4th Quarter​

 

[Swarley]

In my first season as head coach of Memphis. Currently 4-2. Every win has been close. Lost a squeaker to North Texas, and got demolished by SMU. Run game has looked good so far. Using a sophomore QB, so he's not too great, and it doesn't help that my line cannot pass protect for shit. My secondary also needs some help. OL and DB is where I'm heavily recruiting right now.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Is he out for an extended period of time? If so maybe you'll see more carries. Must have been nice to get 22.

Not sure. I didn't check to see how serious it was before I turned the console off.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

Starting a new RtG atm as a WR on Heisman difficulty. My test run through was on varsity and I dominated, but looking for more of a challenge now.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

We won our first game against Bremen 22-16

4 Catches, 53 Yards, 1 TD

There's me with my only touchdown, a 38 yarder. Yeah it's a bad pic, I know. Didn't realize that when I was taking it

 

[RyanLeaf16]

Probably one more game tonight. I played BO4L's team (Tulane).

Things started off well with two big runs to start the game. However on the tail end of them I got rocked out of bounds both times. That kind of sent the message that they weren't going to just fold because of two early plays. Anyway, on to Ohio to play Miami!

I ended up driving pretty well until stalling in the red zone and kicking a field goal. They matched me with one of their own, as well. We traded three and outs, and just before the half Steelman got the offense rolling again. Hassin had a lot of trouble. They gameplanned around stopping him. And why not? He is the fifth leading rusher in the country. They held him in check pretty much all game, and when I realized that he wasn't going to be the key to the win I kept the ball in Steelman's hands as much as possible. We ended the half with a Steelman touchdown pass, however. A three and out by our defense to start the half was huge, and an early field goal put us ahead 13-3. A nice 10 point cushion. It would stay that way until the fourth, when another field goal was tacked on after another stalled red zone drive. Not too long after, though, Tulane scored its first touchdown. With the ball back, we orchestrated some good option offense to force them to burn their timeouts and run the clock out to win 16-10! An undefeated 5-0! Granted the competition hasn't been great, it's been a load of fun so far. An undefeated season is a real possibility as the toughest team on the remaining schedule is rival Navy. This was also the first game without a Steelman injury! However, Hassin did get injured for a short time.

Steelman: 3-5, 60 Yds, TD, 21 Att, 135 Yds
Hassin: 12 Att, 64 Yds
Brown: 6 Att, 37 Yds, 1 Rec, 30 Yds
Williams: 2 Rec, 30 Yds, TD

You've got Army at 5-0 right now!?!?! You may be one-and-done in West Point!

Congrats on the first win of the year.

Old school receiver with no gloves. Like a nu-skool Wayne Chrebet.

 

[RyanLeaf16]

Our offense struggled...AGAIN against Tampa Bay Tech. However, we did win 16-10. It took a goal line stand though. I played decent. I recorded 5 tackles and 1.5 sacks.

We stand at 6-1 and face 4-3 Jefferson next.

After the game, I received a scholarship offer from Boise State. Ole Miss is still the front-runner though.

Zeroing in on the QB for a sack

 

[Boucher]

Started an OD with Hogle. We are 1* OC I'm at UNT he's at WKU. We are using steelerfan's sliders from TGT they are great so far. I'm using my own offense that I made called Shootout. It's basically the June Jones RnS with some of Hawaii's "pistol" RnS and some tendencies from the air raid O. Lost game 1 against FIU, my players are still learning the system but i saw some flashes of excellence. Really trying to get Lance Dunbar involved as he is the heart of the team. Also getting a td is the most rewarding thing. And I'm scared as shit to play Bama which is a first in any videogame

 

[RyanLeaf16]

Just lost to the defending State Champions (IRL) in Jefferson. They came in 4-3 and we came in 6-1, but, I knew it would be a battle. They had a lot of speed and a good pass offense. We dropped a 13-7 contest. We came out with an early lead and I thought we may be able to hold them, but, they were just too good on offense.

I finished with 7 tackles and 2.0 sacks. To my surprise, I had 2, count 'em, 2 scholarship offers waiting for me! One from Florida and one from Alabama. I would prefer to play in a 3-4, so that does give the edge to Alabama. On the flip side, I have dominated poor competition and have played ok against better competition, so, I am a bit concerned that I will get to a big program and become a bust.

Next game is against 6-2 Chamberlain at home.

Stuffing the Jefferson RB for a 2-yard loss

 

[Ravin]

Just picked Ohio State as my school, as Bama didn't even show up, and I didn't want to play in the other conferences.

 

[RyanLeaf16]

Just dropped our second consecutive game to Chamberlain 21-16. I finished with 4 tackles, 2.0 sacks and 1 Forced Fumble.

Some good news after the game though. I got another offer from an SEC school! LSU offered me along with Utah. That makes 4 SEC schools with offers: Ole Miss, Alabama, LSU and Florida.

We are now 6-3 heading into rivalry week with Jesuit who is, surprisingly, 0-9. Obviously, whoever created Jesuit didn't use real rosters as they are a very good team. But, I'll take it. Hopefully we can pound the Tigers!

Sack in the 2nd quarter

how do you consistently get 2 or more sacks?

 

[Ravin]

Ohio is 1-1 after a second week loss to Toledo 31-24. Lead 24-7 at the half and blew it. That dropped us all the way down to 21st from 5th in the rankings.

 

[RyanLeaf16]

how do you consistently get 2 or more sacks?

I just try and find what kind of rush works best for each guy I'm going up against. Some games you can just flat out bull rush guys and others require finesse. Plus, I get them in bunches. For example, right now I am playing the Jesuit game. Mid-3rd quarter and I have 1 assisted tackle. That's it. It won't shock me if I get a sack or two before the game is over though. Seems that sacks are the lifeblood for recruiting points for a DE and its almost like the game stonewalls me for a majority of the time and then I get a small window where whatever I do works and I get sacks or tackles for loss, etc.

EDIT: I don't always get sacks though. There have been some games where I did virtually nothing. I seem to do really well against the poor teams and ok against the really good teams. I think I only had 1 tackle in the Plant game.
