Dynasty transfers is broke
long post but lots of things to point out
1: starters have playing time deal breakers as an F
2: players will transfer out with a playing time deal breaker without any warning… I’ll go the entire season and not have any players show up a a transfer risk but the week that I advance to players leaving 5-10 players pop up that I mostly lose.
3: if I have a starter that’s a sophomore/ junior and is for sure going to the draft 95+ rating, ill still have the person 2nd/3rd in the depth chart transfer out due to playing time when it’s clear they’re gonna be the starter next year.
-so I lost this years starter early to the draft and then I lost the 2nd/3rd string to transfer so I either have to start an underclassmen or hit the portal
4: 2nd/ 3rd string deal breakers change at players leaving even though I haven’t upgraded their overall… I manually upgrade players at the beginning of the season. I don’t upgrade the 2nd/3rd string players because I don’t want their deal breakers to change or get more strict so I’ll cruise along all year anticipating them to start next year because their deal breakers is let’s say conference prestige… then at players leaving they transfer due to playing time without being warned all year.
5: one year I lost 6 WRs…3 went to the draft (1 junior/2seniors) I then lost 1 junior and 2 sophomores (next years starters) all to the transfer portal. I had to hit the portal and ended up with trash and had to start a sophomore and true freshmen.
6: this happened to me with RBs too. I had 2 go to the draft (junior/senior) then lost 2 sophomores. I had to change a WR to RB just to fill the depth chart.
7: i had this happen for TEs. Had a few go to the draft. Then lost 3 to transfer portal without any warning. No notice during the entire year…I knew I had heavy depth at TE so I didn’t recruit. So I’m starting this year with 1 normal dev sophomore and I’ll have to change a WR to TE or hit the portal.
8: QBs: starter was a senior. I cut the junior to make way for the elite sophomore next year. Sophomore is 2nd string with 1 lower overall RS freshman & 1 true freshman behind them. I don’t recruit a QB that year. sophomore transfers out due to playing time even though their deal break all year was pro potential (A+). I now have a freshman(rs) as my starter and have to hit the portal to find someone that can fill the void.
9: incoming freshman have a letter grade that impacts upperclassmen playing time deal breaker. If you look at your school ratings under my school and go to playing time you will see the recruits you’re targeting with an associated letter grade. If they have an A or B and you sign them then your sophomores/juniors/ seniors deal breakers will change to an F. You’re literally punished for finding good recruits because your starters will want to transfer…
I love the dynamic deal breakers and it’s a great change from CFB 25 but the insanity of not being able to plan for players leaving until you get to players leaving week is non-sense. It also makes it hard to recruit. You can under recruit to prevent playing time transfers and still get punished with them leaving and your starters graduating/ go to draft and then you’re left with nothing.
