Hey everyone... We are about a month away from the release of NCAA 2010 (July 14th), and I am going to be doing another Dynasty as well as Franchise on Madden. Anyone who wants in, PM me with the following information and I'll start to get it organized:
1) Top 5 teams in order of who you want to be 2) Name and Cell # 3) PS3 online name
I will be Utah State in the dynasty again this year, and Tampa Bay in the franchise on madden.
Those of you who were with me last year, we will be a little better organized this time around and we will still have a ton of fun.

Utah State? Why?
I am thinking about getting season tickets to USU, only $70 and is about 2 hours from my house.

If cq Is anything like me then he picked USU because its a lot funner taking a below average team and winning with them. I am playing a dynasty right now on my PS2 and I am Western Kentucky. It sucks at first losing, but when you get some good recruiting classes in and make your first bowl game its a blast. I have NEVER started a season with any BCS team.

So I can take a bottom-dweller and turn them into a powerhouse. Plus I am an alumn from there as well. My roommate and I used to be Utah State and Boise State on our dynasty and battle it out for the WAC championship all the time.

question here for you guys...and PLEASE do not take this as pompous, arragant, or disrespectful.
When playing these games, do you ever think "hmm..this is time that I could be using for my ACTUAL TEAM". I guess I have grown out of video games (as the gray hair starts moving in and forehead moving up something needs to go I guess). I just don't know if I were coaching H.S ball if I could devote time to a video game football program with a clean conscious. I would always feel guilty to my real program. I know when I was coaching Div 1aa ball I definitely didn't. Tried to play a game once, and then said.."nuts, I could be making real recruiting calls instead of clicking recruiting boxes on a game"

Its high school ball not college. I am off for the summer (full time student). I am a stay at home dad. I have more thne enough time to do a lot. If I had my degree and was working then I might not have time to play as much. I also sleep about 4-5 hours a night always have. so I have about 20 hours a day to fill. I fish, I play football games and I hang with my son.
Thats why I have time, will change soon, but for now I have more then enough.

It's just like any other hobby when you have some spare time. I hunt, fish, go boating on the lake, etc.

I basically use it as a cool-down from my day...
4:30 AM - Wakeup 5:00 AM - Gym 7:00 AM - Home from Gym, shower, eat, get ready for school 8:00 AM - School 3:00 PM - School out. Go to film & weights 5:00 PM - Film & Weights over, start practice 7:30 PM - Practice Ends 8:00 PM - Get home from practice & eat dinner 8:30 PM - Hang out with wife for about 30 minutes, catch up on TV shows or whatever 9:00 PM - Wife works on finishing all of her essays she grades for english for an hour, so I get on the PS3 and wind down. 10:00 or 10:30 PM - Bed
If I spent more time during the day on teaching/coaching I would probably go insane! Weekends give me a little bit more time, but for the most part, saturday from 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM is film/tendencies/gameplanning. Then from 2:00 til whenever I get done with scout cards and plans for the week I work on my actual team. Then we have coaches meeting all afternoon on Sunday where we go over final gameplan and practice schedule for the week.
One of the problems we had last year with the dynasty is that some people who weren't coaches/teachers wanted to move too quickly and didn't understand, or else had very weird schedules where they would be on every day for 2 or 3 days, then not get on for 5 days. Caused some problems. As long as everyone logs on and does the minimum every day, then it doesn't take away from anything else.
By my math, I spend about 5 hours (minimum) every day during the week on my actual team, and at least 10 hours each day on weekends... That's over 45 hours a week of work with my actual team. If I can't get it done in 45 hours... it ain't gonna get done!

You are one dedicated dude. ;D What is this free time that you speak of? ;D I guess my question/issue (just issue with myself, not with anyone else) was that it was fake FOOTBALL. I am all for decompressing via hunting, fishing, movies, painting, yardwork...whatever. But simulating a football season during the free time of a real football season.....just seems a bit much.

If you are speaking of during the season. There is no way I could play a whole season. I am with you on "a bit much". during the summer...doesn't seem like too much to take an hour or two a week. I am not sure I could put in more than 1 to 3 hours a week playing playstation at any one given time, however, if I were in a league Cq and some others, I believe my perspective would change dramatically.

To add to that.. I did a grid kid camp this weekend, and I am really out of coaching shape. My feet hurt and my back hurt. I am going to take this summer when I am not coaching and really focus on getting into shape. Of course guys like CQ have a few years and a few pounds before they have to worry about that. PS: Every beer adds up to something bad eventually.

I have NCAA 09.. and will be getting 10 for the PS3.. but how does all this online dynasty work?
I have done the whole off line dynasty before.. but do you actually play each other?? or just the computer? Or does it just depend on how many people you get to actually take up the other team?

It's the exact same as the offline dynasty... only you play against the other person if your teams play. A lot of guys will all play in the same conference so they play each other each week, but we usually spread out among all the conferences so we play each other in bowls.
I do make everyone play at least 2 other users in their non-conference schedule, so that we don't have 8 people all undefeated at the end of it all.
And that's my bad Casec... everyone kinda stopped having time to play all at the same time. After about 5 or 6 days where nobody logged on at all, I just abandoned the dynasty. You still want Wash?

I don't have a PS3, but I am in an Xbox360 NCAA dynasty, a group of us are going to do it again this year. We run a pretty competitive leauge everyone is pretty good, as they are all reall football guys. Here are the basicis of how we run it if you are interested hit me a PM.
-we all try to be teams in the same conference (ie: PAC 10) -we try to advance every 2-3 days in the summer

I agree here. During the season, I don't spend much time with the game. But man, after our HS season ends, then college football ends...I'm just dieing for football. During the season? All spare time goes to the wife and my son. If everyone is sleeping, and I'm awake...ok, MAYBE I slip in a game of NCAA

This is sorta related to the dynasty, but I am going through our roster and depth chart and making our EXACT team on the game with the new teambuilder. We don't have all the numbers finalized for next season yet, but I'll be updating those easily enough once we get them. I have finished my QB's with both of my varsity QB's being #1 & #2 and my JV kids being #3 & #4. Our uniforms are exactly what they will be in season, as well as the stadium, and all that. I'm waiting on the HC to send me our acual decal for helmets in my email so that I can put it on there, but I am encouraging the kids to download the team and play the game with our roster and everything. www.easportsworld.com/en_US/ncaafootball/create_a_schoolSearch for "golden west" and the one made by cqmiller is obviously mine. Let me know what you think.
