Dynasty wishlist
Online dynasty is by far the best mode, especially when you have a great dedicated user base. But as a commish I find many areas lacking. I’m gonna ignore the issues with recruiting , deal breakers and the entire UI needing to be better and focus on other items. Here are some items I think we need to have.
CHANGE LOG - we need some sort of change log in dynasty for people to police the rules. Whether it’s finding commish is adjusting settings or users editing their heights we need a change log so we can see it and have proof.
PLAY COOLDOWN AND LIMIT - we need separate settings for offense vs defense. This helps combat cheese while ensuring you have your playbooks full arsenal at play.
HOT ROUTE LIMIT we need to counter cheese, you created so many quality playbooks yet users spam the same combos. It should be a chess match not a cheese match
CUSTOMIZATION - we need to allow dynasties to have more options to customize. Creating rivalries, adjusting auto bids, changing playoffs, top 25, trophies. Allow us to build our ideal dynasty. I’d lvoe the ability to run a rebuild league, give my group 5 conference winners an auto bid, create new rivalries out of thin air and create a trophy for it. We should also be able to customize our game day environment. Choosing team intros, light shows, music and so on. Would also love custom uniforms but I get with branding probably not happening though I wish that added more historical uniforms.
UPGRADES - this is a long shot but I wish we could build up programs as the years go on. Expanding stadiums, better strength programs etc. if I win 5 nattys as Ball state I want my grades to reflect that we are investing into the university and its facilities.
CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS - this needs an overhaul personally. A lot of bugs with plays not showing, rating plays not working and the fact that we can’t use formation subs for them. What id like to see is the ability to add more plays, and the ability to build your playbook in real time by testing plays out on the practice field. We all know play suggestions Is **bleep** but I’d like to have custom play calling tabs or just give us a tab for the current scenario. If it’s 2nd and short let me see all the plays I rated as 2nd and short. Separate them by pass run etc.
COACHES - would love to see more coaches specifically position coaches. Have them affect recruiting and development. Have your OCs be focused on gameplan. Would also love to see the ability to scout your opponent. See their top plays situationally.
SCHEDULING - on top of fixing teams having uneven home vs away games and it stacking bye weeks. need to give commish some sort of baseline settings to toggle for cpu generated scheduling. Every user play a top 25 team? Toggle on Toggle out of conference schedule difficulty? This streamlined schedule creation when you have 20+ users
PIPELINES - as many have said before we need more dynamic pipelines and the ability to create one. If I consistently keep getting players from Oregon, give me a dynamic pipeline of the PNW. Also as many have stated, create LB U’s. If a team consistently has talent at a specific position win awards and get drafted highly then label them as such. More top talent/transfers will want to go to them just like in real life.
EMERSION - this isn’t a need but would love more stats and recaps of the users games being played. When I advance a week give me articles to read, in games give me updates. I want to feel like I’m watching a real life CFB playoff race. Awards ceremony would also be a nice touch.
PROGRESSION - overall I like where they are headed with manual vs auto and the sliders. I just wish players had more in season goals to reach to give them bonus tokens. Also if I win a major award, conference or the title players should be awarded as such.
Anything I miss? What would you all like to see in dynasty?
