More NCAA Football 09 online dynasty talk
by 
Through numerous recent previews the online dynasty feature of NCAA Football 09 continues to be a central topic of discussion. With most of the previews touching on the same things below are two that are worth checking out.
NCAA Strategies has posted up an interview with NCAA Football 09 producer Ben Haumiller. This was recorded on the night of the cover reveal event. It mainly covers the online dynasty feature but does briefly delve into other areas of the game. There were also some follow-up questions/responses after. You can find both the podcast and Q&A here.
Gamespot’s preview goes into the feature at great length. It has been stated that anything done in the offline dynasties will work in the online ones. Despite that it is good to hear each one specifically such as how named rosters will transfer through. There may not be a whole lot new here but it presents a good compilation of everything that is known.
I’m curious for those of you out there looking forward to playing in an online dynasty are you more interested in having every user involved in a single conference or spread out wherever they choose to be?

I would rather see every user in the same conference. This would make it much more competitive. Plus, most likely it would make recruiting harder because of Geographics and having to recruit against schools close in proximity and possibly same pipe-line states.

This is going to to be so good. Are you going to do one of these pasta?

What i am curious of is how much time EA loses in actually making there games good, the actual game i am talking about. All i ever hear about for madden and ncaa is online this online that. Id like to actually see them put more time into making the game good, so you dont have all those problems with the real game, the one that you pay money for. Im talking about the unrealistic gameplay to a sense. Where you got DL and OL looking like idiots playing for you, for example. People just nag about this and that for online, and when it finally comes out you still got 85% of people online who just cheat to win. Believe me i love madden and ncaa its just their probaly putting a ridiculous amount of time into all this online stuff and losing time on actually making the game better. Thats why we keep getting the same game over and over again just updated visuals and little things. Even when all this “new” stuff for online is out, it probaly wont be enough for people to handle and theyll ride EAs d”cks for more stuff to put online. Then well just keep getting the same game but “cooler” stuff for online.

Has anyone seen the Gamespot 8-10 videos? They came out last night I guess. In those three videos the gameplay looks like it has been slowed down. It looks a little more realistic at times but I think that it was slowed down too much. That or the people playing changed the slider settings.

single conference so there is less cpu games

Yeah looking forward to doing one. I’m also hopeful that myself and some of the community leaders will be able to start one up pre-release and display a lot of it for everyone.

completely agree.

i think online dynasty is a little over hyped
May 10, 2008 at 9:46 am
See, I would much rather spread it out a little bit. I think it would be most fun to have 3 players in 4 different major conferences or 4 in 3. That way, you don’t beat up on each too much and can always set up non-conference games together if need be. Absolutely cannot wait for this game, though. This feature alone has sold me. Nothing (to me) is more fun than a dynasty/franchise mode with other users.

I would definitely prefer everyone in the Big Ten conference, as I mainly watch that in real life. But it would mean that when it gets to bowl season, our teams would most likely not play eachother, after beating eachother up throughout the season.
May 10, 2008 at 11:41 am
I cannot wait online dynasty will be insane if this game lives up to the hype it will be the best football game EVER!!!!!!!!!!
May 10, 2008 at 11:42 am
It would be awesome to have all 12 players in the SEC conference. Then again, it would be hard because you would have to find someone who would be willing to play as vanderbilt Lol.
May 10, 2008 at 11:51 am
I agree with what Steve said. I think it would be better to spread it out a little. That way someone could actually have a chance to play in the Championship game. You could also make it where everyone could have 1 OOC game against someone else in the league, making it more exciting.
May 10, 2008 at 12:40 pm
I think spreading it out a bit is a better idea. Sure you get to play a bunch of conference games with one another if you stick together, but I think it would be WAY more intense to play against someone in a bowl game. Or what if you got matched up with a buddy for the national championship? That would be sick

That is the way I’m leaning too. The other thing that could factor into it is how the less user vs user games would (in most cases) allow for things to move at a faster pace since you wouldn’t have to wait as much on people coordinating schedules (a major headache for traditional online leagues).

I call the FSU Seminoles on the PS3!!!!!!

our house used to have a house dynasty (before we all started to move away and get married). usually we started in one conference and spread out over time–as we received better offers. i like it that way; it creates competition for jobs, bragging rights, etc.
is there any news on whether or not we will be able to receive and accept job offers?
the article made it seam like that is entirely up to the commissioner.

i say we do one for ps3 and xbox but single conference would be pushing it…..i say we just schedule all our games to be against each other
May 10, 2008 at 11:40 pm
My friends and I are going to play with teams from all over. but having a rotation that will have a human controlled team always playing another human when some one is playing a top 25 team and let the CPU play non top 25 games.
May 11, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Yeah i cant wait i woould prefer the same conference…..but when ur favorite team is in the independent conference(Notre Dame) it will be tough……and another thing there 12 teams in a confernce usually six are remotely good and get alright recruits the others dont at all so maybe two conferences with six users each
May 11, 2008 at 2:53 pm
My friends and I are going to be in the same conference. Since the limit is twelve once the game gets closer to release we will decide between the ACC, Big 12, and SEC and I’m guessing we will decide on SEC. We want to primarily want to play against each other and not the CPU. Plus don’t forget the fierce recruiting battles!
May 11, 2008 at 4:32 pm
ill join an online dynasty if you guys do one for 360.. ill be rutgers
May 11, 2008 at 5:45 pm
I personally would enjoy having everyone spread out because then you would have to vs. the cpu in order to get to your conference championship(if you have one). This would make sense because we’d all play on the highest difficulty(all-american,right?). But, then again also because my favorite team is Notre Dame(Go Irish!)
Also, Pasta, how is the whole roster thing gonna work? Is it the commisioners roster that is the official one?

I believe everything is based off the commish. Rosters, settings, sliders, schedules, ect.

Sounds dumb to me. I wish they’d just improve the regular dynasty.
May 13, 2008 at 11:24 am
Love the site pasta.
I’ve been waiting for online dynasty since about ‘94 playing NCAA while in college on the Sega Genesis.
I’m still not sure about whether or not I want to stay in the same conference with my buddies or not. Spreading it out could make things more interesting with the potential for a national championship matchup.Staying in the same conference would ratchet up the intensity and make each and every game a battle.
I can’t wait for July 15!!! OoooooWWWWWWWWWWWW

I call Michigan on 360
June 2, 2008 at 3:26 pm
is there online for all platforms?
June 21, 2008 at 11:16 am
I am with the guy earlier. My main concern is whether there are job offers at the end of the year in online dynasty. Has anyone heard anything about this? I can’t find anything anywhere about this. . . .
July 8, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Job offers are a concern of mine also. Anybody know anything about whether or not they will have them ???
July 26, 2009 at 3:10 am
is there any way that i can schedule another big ten team on my schedule or even switch with an existing big ten opponet for another??I am currently Penn State and my buddie is Michigan and he is not on my schedule for the last 2 years….any help would be great…
