NCAA Dynasty Update Thread

Started my EMU Dynasty on Ncaa12 today.

I'm playing on All-American Game Play and Recruiting Difficulty.
8 Minute Quarters
I'm playing all of the games.

Schedule:

1: @Illinois L 20-45
2: Purdue

Finished the first game of the season, @ Illinois and lost 20-45.

Started off the first quarter good, forced a couple punts and was up at halftime 17-14, but second half completely different story..

A.Gillett - 12/25 169 yards 2 interceptions
D. Sherrer - 18 attempts 145 yards 2 TDs

M.English - 12 tackles, 6 solo
N. Wilson - 6 tackles 5 solo
 
1 more game and I will be done with 2026 Da U. I am so fucking dominant in the Big East. I am thinking about switching myself with Tennessee in the SEC. Thoughts?

The SEC gets pretty weak down the road unfortunately. Seems like the ACC actually becomes the more challenging conference eventually in most of the dynasties I run.
 
Started a new dynasty with Western Michigan (still have my ULL one going, just needed a break from it). First game is against Michigan. I stop them on 3 downs, but for some reason, Michigan tries a 66 yard FG. It actually has the distance, but was just wide left. I have my returner down there, and he catches it right before it goes out of bounds. I take off to the right side of the field, draw the players that way, then cut left and I take that mf'er 108 yards to the HOUSE. Ended up winning the game 20-17. Beautiful.
 
It had me so hyped. I have the starting RB back there. He's also starting at KR and PR, and he's taken a punt to the house and a kickoff all the way so far, in only 3 games played. Nasty.
 
4 games into my EMU Dynasty and i'm 0-4.

Week 1: @ Illinois - L 20-45
Week 2: vs Purdue - L 0-16
Week 3: @ Michigan - L - 7-55
Week 4: vs Penn State - L - 14-24

The Purdue game was very close until the 4th quarter, was 0-0 at that point, and a couple turnovers on offense in my side of the field gave them great field position and they capitalized on it..

The Michigan game was a disaster, defense couldn't tackle / cover anyone, plenty of blown opportunities on offense..

Just played the Penn State game. Very close through the whole game, despite throwing four interceptions through out. Run game is terrible, and the only receivers that can catch are my #1 and my TE.

Week 5 starts my conference matchups for the rest of the year..

5: vs Akron (2-2)
6: @ Toledo (1-3)
7: @ Central Michigan (1-3)
8: vs Western Michigan (2-2)
9: BYE
10: vs Ball State (2-2)
11: vs Buffalo (1-3)
12: @ Kent State (1-3)
13: @ Northern Illinois (2-2)

Stat Leaders Four Games In;

A.Gillett: 45/92 738 yards 3 TDs 11 INTs (Out for 5 weeks w/ Partially Torn MCL)

D.Sherrer: 45 attempts 250 yards 5.6 average 2 TDs, 3 receptions 80 yards 1 TD
C.Welch: 15 attempts 30 yards

G.Hoskins: 18 receptions 286 yards 1 TD
K.Thomas: 10 receptions 132 yards
K.Wheeler: 4 receptions 105 yards

M.English: 32 tackles (16 solo), 3 TFL, 1 INT
M.Rose: 22 tackles (13 solo)
M.Cardwell: 16 tackles (11 solo)

I don't see this season ending very well, hopefully I can get some recruits that will help me out on my run game and defending the run..


EDIT: I forgot to mention that in the Purdue and Penn State games, Sherrer, my starting running back went out with an injury for 2 quarters, leaving me with the backup Welch.

Looking at my remaining schedule, obviously with the worst out of the way..I'm optimistic to play against some MAC teams and see how my O-Line and D-Line are and whether I can run the ball and force sacks respectively. I'm hoping I can run the ball a whole lot better, and utilize Sherrer and Welch and having a two headed run game.

Winning 2 point conversion in the Rose Bowl[size]

[size=-2]With 15 seconds left, down by a touchdown and and extra point, I threw a 5 yard slant and broke a shit load of tackles to take it to the house in the Rose Bowl against UCLA. Kicking an extra point here would send it to overtime. No way was I having that. I either lose it here or win it with a 2 point confersion. I lined up in my goal line formation and fake FB, HB pitched the ball. I thought I was stopped in the backfield, but somehow my HB managed to break a tackle and take it in for the win! A thrilling end to a damn good season. My defense and offense worked completely in sync together for the first 3 quarters of the year, but kind of dropped in productivity the last quarter. My sophomore All-American HB John Johnson had 522 yards and 3 TD's in just 2 games played, but was knocked out for the season with a broken collarbone. (RS) Freshman Cortney East had to step it up and do wrok because Pat Williams, Senior (RS), has been a huge disappointment in his time playing and I could not trust him to run the ball. My receiving corps this year was really young, as I only had 1 senior (TE). I had 3 True Frosh and scattered Sophmore's and Seniors. They carried the load, but their age came out with key drops in the FSU game as well as the Rose Bowl. My defense just played lights out and produced 4 award winners this season.

The Big East is getting to be unbearably bad and I am thinking about a conference switch at the end of the season. We will see what conference is worthy of Rylos' Canes :smug:

PASSING

20120113_194824-1.jpg

Stevenson drops back.

[table="head;width=45em"]No.|Class|Name|Rating|Comp|Att|Yards|TD|INT|Comp %|Sack
4|JR|Mark Stevenson|173.0|184|338|3548|42|18|54|27
1|FR|Shelton Johnson|178.4|20|42|489|6|3|47|1[/table]

[size=-2]My philosophy, same as every year at the U, is smashmouth running and playaction passing over their heads. After Johnson went down, however,I had no solid HB with experience that I trusted to run the ball. THerefore I started throwing a lot and it paid off ass it opened up holes for my freshman HB.

Stevenson is only a JR, and a 88 OVR, but I feel like he may declare for the draft. Under my rules I could keep him, but we will see. I have 2 QB's graduating who threw for a combined total of 155 yards, 2 INT's. They will not be missed lol.

Stevenson did what he was asked and excelled and I could not be more happy. However, the last 4 games or so he threw 8 INT's and struggled for some reason. I had to put in my true Freshman to give Stevenson a cool down period.[/size]

RUSHING

20120113_194723-1.jpg

East takes in for a TD.

[table="head;width=45em"]No.|Class|Name|Att|Yards|Avg|TD|Fumbles
24|FR(RS)|Courtney East|199|1324|6.6|15|2
22|SO|John Johnson|61|551|9.0|3|1
20|SR(RS)|Pete Williams|65|300|4.4|3|3
37|SR|John Blanchard|26|241|9.9|1|0[/table]

[size=-1]At HB only two of my guys are graduating, Pete Williams. He was a complete busted and fumbled 12 times in 3 seasons of playing. The other is John Blanchard who I mainly used as a return guy. He won 2 returner of the year awards until getting injured this season.

I had my doubts of East, but he came in for the injured Johnson and did work. He isn't a huge guy, and doesn't break many tackles, but he is FAST. If he gets a hole and good blocking he will take it for 15+ yards.

Next season with Johnson back, East will probably come in on first down for me as he was a fantastic first down back.[/size]

RECEIVING

20120113_195425-1.jpg

SR TE Rocky runs the show.

[table="head;width=45em"]No.|Class|Name|Rec|Yards|Avg|TD|Long|Drops
11|SR(RS)|Rocky Johnson|45|716|15.9|4|60|5
82|FR|Patrick Johnson|41|891|21.7|10|62|9
80|JR|Brett Hagen|24|723|30.1|13|89|6
88|SO|Chris Powers|24|457|19.0|7|81|2
81|SO(RS)|Paul Sutton|21|367|17.4|4|63|2
23|SO|Tony Davis|15|349|23.2|5|63|4
85|JR(RS)|John Williams|15|255|25.5|3|78|2[/table]

[size=-1]LEading my young receiving group was SR, TE, Rocky Johnson. He led my team in catches and was my most usable 3rd down guy.With the majority of these guys being Sophomores, it was good to have a guy like Rocky to stabilize my offense when I needed him the most. Since everyone will pretty much be returning next season we will have the same consistancy as this year, just maybe less production with my HB John Johnson being healthy.

DEFENSE

[size=-1]My defense was pretty awesome at times this year, but other times faultered pretty badly. The main light in my defense was my beast ass MLB Lance Davis. Dude is a force on that defense and I am so happy he did not even consider going Pro.[/size]

Well, thanks to those 2 assholes my defensive backfield will be in shambles. I talked Hansen to just stay for his Senior year and he agreed. If he would have left, I really don't think I would have won that many games next year lol. Hagen left early, but my receiving corps will move on without him.

This is a great thread. Basically a giant dynasty report. I don't wanna read a recap of every game anyway, season by season keeps it from being too much work.

Good shit. When I'm done with season 1 I'll get a nice recap for everyone.
 
FIU 35 - ARK ST 0

Have played three games and won them all since the last time I updated this. My running back Mallary is really starting to come into his own, breaking the school record for season rushing in this game and getting over 1000 yards on the year. I am running away with the Sun Belt right now and with only one game remaining it should be an easy coast into a Bowl Game and Sun Belt Championship.
 
FIU 20 - MTSU 16

Way to close for my liking on this game. Mallary had a 97yrd kick off return to start the game but only got 91 yards on 21 carries. I had a TD with him, but two linemen were running in front of him blocking movement and I couldn't get past them lol. Almost cost me the game.

On a shit note, Coleman my star WR is out for 3 weeks, so he will miss the bowl game which I'm not happy about. It really hurts my throwing as he was always the go to guy on the team, and it showed in this game, as I should have destroyed these guys but without Coleman, it was tough.

With the victory we won the Sun Belt!

Yeah I don't think any of us are hardcore enough to run a thread like BDawg but I like this as a nice little one stop shop for everyone's updates.

After doing the PITT dynasty, I much prefer this. It would take me probably an hour if not more to do all th stuff for the PITT dynasty which included game stats, writing an article, and top 25 each week. I probably could have found a simple way, but I wouldn't have got the look I wanted.

Here is the PITT dynasty I did. http://www.virtualsportsdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106497

It was actually fun to do. Thing was, it was my first franchise and it would have sucked to read because I ended up going undefeated and won the National Championship. My sliders were not amazing, and if I used the ones I do now, it would be different. I didn't just cake walk into the National title, as I had some very close games, but it killed me wanting to do the report because you want to build up to that.

My goal for that report was to basically do a 5 year one and if I ever do a new report, it will be a "Drive in Five" where I pick a school and the goal is to win the National title in five years. If I don't accomplish it, the report is over. It gives the report a beginning, middle and end. Maybe I'll do this soon. Make it more of a story. Could be fun and something to do long term rather then trying to hammer it all out. I love playing the game more then all the other crap, and with FIU as OC, I get to do that.
 
Houston 41 - FIU 24
New Orleans Bowl

Probably one of the most terrible games my team has played all year long. It was drop pass after drop pass. The score really doesn't show how close the game was. Going into the 4th I had a 24-20 lead, and they scored 3 touchdowns in the 4th. My defence totally shit the bed on this one. One TD came off me going on 4th down on my own 30 (wtf) and they scored two plays later, and the others, well my defence just sucked.

Mallary was nothing in this game. He had 14 carries for 72 yards, but he had a 50 yard run, so basically 22yrds on 13 carries. He could not get anything going at all in this game which meant I had to throw the ball more. And when that happened I had 5 drops in the game most for big plays, even with my QB throwing for 338 yrds.

Was not the ending to the seasn I was going for, but it happens. I'll have my season recap in a little while.


Fun fact

Since playing NCAA, I have only played in 3 bowl games when controlling a team. I made it to the National Championship with PITT, the Chick-fil-A Bowl in NC State OD, and this bowl. So far I have played every bowl game in a dome.

[size=-2]Looking at this, I had a fairly weak schedule this season. Not many strong teams in the back end of the line up, which is probably a reason I rolled some of them after going through the first four weeks against really strong teams. Disappointed in the bowl loss as it ended a very good season, but other wise it is a great turn around for FIU and their first bowl apperance and conference championship under my rein as OC. [/size]

------------------------------------------------

PASSING

[table="head;width=45em"]No.|Class|Name|Rating|Comp|Att|Yards|TD|INT|Comp %|Sack
12|JR|Jake Medlock|146.2|146|289|2692|25|16|50|26
8|SR|Blaine Dalton|121.9|85|170|1301|10|10|50|16[/table]

[size=-2]Dalton got the bench after the first couple of games, as he just was not getting it done like Medlock was. I had to go back to the man who gave us the best chance at winning and after the year before, it was Medlock. The great thing was, this year I didn't have to rely so much on him. His attempts are cut in half and that is all due to Mallary getting his running game going. It helped a lot and kept the INT's down as well, but the TD's were still up. His yards thrown were also half as much which showed a huge shift in the offence. [/size]

RUSHING

[table="head;width=45em"]No.|Class|Name|Att|Yards|Avg|TD|Fumbles
26|SR|Darian Mallary|271|1365|5.0|15|0
9|JR (RS)|Kedrick Rhodes|56|217|3.9|3|0
[/table]

[size=-2]Mallary had 100 more touches and about 800 yards more then last year which really showed the change in my team and how I played the ball. Mallary allowed me to control the game more rather than always throwing the ball and praying for the catch. He was a beast come the Sun Belt teams, trucking over guys all the time. It sucks that he is gone and if I stay with the team I am back to another new RB in Rhodes who should fit in nicely.[/size]

RECEIVING
[table="head;width=45em"]No.|Class|Name|Rec|Yards|Avg|TD|Long|Drops
16|FR|Thurman Meade|44|598|13.5|4|64|8
88|SO(RS)|Dominique Rhymes|37|629|17.0|4|57|11
10|SR|Glenn Coleman|35|686|19.6|10|66|5
84|JR|Michael Curry|29|702|24.2|5|76|7
86|SO(RS)|Yakeem Griner|23|270|11.7|1|21|3
[/table]

[size=-2]Coleman again was the go to guy for the endzone, but with Meade working some nice routes he had a lot of catches for a freshman. He will probably be the next Coleman on this team, as the WR core continues to go through the motions of players coming in and out. The drops killed me still, and there were a lot of third downs that didn't happen because of it. [/size]

So I am deciding if I want to stay at FIU or move on to another score. Obviously every small school is offering me the head coaching job. Schools like Central and Eastern Michigan, UAB, Minnesota. Also got some other interesting offers as well. Here is a fairly big list of the offers so far. I did what Rylo said and went through them in a different save file to see what they were.

Interested
North Carolina OC 4 Star School
- Probably the 4th interested of the 5 here.

Missouri Head Coach 3 Star school
- Probably last interested, but if I want to head coach, this is my option

Oklahoma OC 5 Star School
- Really tough call on this. I know I am going to a good team

NC State OC 5 Star School
- I know the offence already, so kind of tempted to go here.

Stanford OC 4 Star School
- Don't know why I want to play in the Pac so much but this job is probably making me the most interested. Defending National champions as well.

Not Interested
Kentucky Head Coach
Missouri Head Coach
Rutgers Head Coach
SMU Head Coach
Temple Head Coach
Wyoming Head Coach
Central Michigan Head Coach
Georgia Tech OC
Indian Head Coach
Louisiana Tech Head Coach
Minnesota Head Coach
UAB Head Coach
UTA OC
Maryland OC
Eastern Michigan Head Coach
