    Default NCAA 2003 Dynasties

    Anyone else got some dynasty info they want to share?

    This is my first season, and I am playing with default settings. I think I will have to either move up to the next hardest level or adjust the slider settings at the end of this first season. I got all the Big East rosters off of the web, and have edited in most of their names.

    I am in my first season as head coach of the Syracuse Orangemen. In order to keep the university happy, I have to be in the top 20 2 out of 3 years, win the Big East once in 3 years or win a national championship.

    So far, I am 7-2 and close with the 3 hardest games of the season....Va Tech, Boston College, and [gulp] Miami. I am currently ranked 32nd in the nation, and all 3 of those teams are ranked higher, with Miami being a dominating #1 in the country.

    I am slated for the Gator Bowl at the moment (doubt I will be if I lose one of the final games) vs Florida State University.

    My QB, RJ Anderson is excellent as is my HB, Reyes and my WR Morant. No players are currently up there for any season awards though.

    I can't wait for the offseason so I can see how the recruiting and scheduling goes. I hope it's as good as the rest of the game!

    All right! A Syracuse fan! Sweet!

    POD,

    actually, my home town is Fulton, NY. About 25 minutes north of Syracuse.

    I'm already in my third season with Notre Dame.
    The recruiting period is very cool.
    you have to map out 5 weeks of visits and phone calls.
    I can't seem to get any top talent to come to my school.

    I did make it to bowls my first two seasons (1-1)
    I edited my schedule to play all top 25 teams this season (i'm 0-3)
    I have to play Texas, Miami, Michigan, Michigan St, Flor ST, Washington, Stanford, Penn st, and Syracuse-ouch!
    I've changed my stratigies to try to atract some qb's and wr's, but no luck.

    BTY I play on All-american level


    this game f-ing rocks

    oh yeah, every year your new recruits have names and corso and nessler actually announce them. They aren't real players, but you don't know who the future college stars are anyway...

    I've been playing with Clemson on Heisman difficulty and default everything else. I added Texas and Tennessee to the schedule so that I could get up in the rankings. I had to go to Texas, Tennessee and Florida State all in a row. I won the games 28-14, 20-17, and 10-0. Right now I'm ranked 10 in the nation with a 6-0 record. I'm in 2nd on the bowl rankings though. I can't wait to start recruiting, but I have to finish the season first. I'm tempted to buy Madden so I can import my players from NCAA to the NFL. Oh yeah, Clemson's kicker SUCKS. I can't wait to recruit a good kicker.

    sounds like you're kicking some a$$-

    This is my first football game for xbox (i've rented the others but), and the controls are a bit different.
    I find myself pressing the button where it would've been (on ps2) causing passs to wrong players and other headaches.
    Because of this I'm not that disappointed about EA not being online.
    I can now spend a whole season fine tuning my game before seriously challenging online.

    I'm gunning for you next season!


    good luck dude

    Default update on SU Dynasty

    Just finished my season. A very disappointing ending. As I noted, I was 7-2, ranked 28th with 3 games against higher ranked teams left.....VaTech, Boston College, and Miami and penciled in for the Gator Bowl. I was hoping I would be able to take 2 of 3 of my last 3 games and finish in the top 25 and get a good bowl bid.

    Lost to Va Tech 35-31 in the final seconds. Killer game. Tech offense mighty potent.

    Beat Boston College pretty handily.

    Got TROUNCED by Miami. Wow. Dorsey and those WRs were just way over my head. My boys were lefted stunned.

    So finished up 8-4 and was reduced to playing in the Insight.com Bowl. But, I had to play #14 Oregon, so there was definate incentive to play and win for one last shot at the top 25. Shut down Oregon's running game, but their passing attack was very potent. They riddled my secondary for 395yds passing. SU was chasing them all day and was forced to pass all day. Anderson, QB ended up with 385yds passing 2TDs and 4ints. 4 interceptions in the end zone. Unbelievable. Oregon 31- 17.

    Finished the season 8-5 ranked 38th in the nation. Did not meet any of my contract goals.

    Offseason is EXCELLENT!. Loved the recruiting mode. Ended up with 25th best recruiting class. Not bad, I guess. Just finished training mode. I like that. Had some nice improvements on some of my guys.

    Season two just around the corner.


    great game.

    Fulton, huh? Well, close enough. I'm from East Syracuse, like I had put in my Location *points to left* but now, I think I like this one better.

    I just finished my frist season with the CANES. I won the national championship(All american settings). I pretty much breezed through the season, the recruiting season is almost as fun as the regular season, while you are spending recruiting points for a blue chipper, then he signs to another school, that sucks soo bad. My recruiting class was rated 15 in the nation. My second season, i scheduled all games against top 25 schools, and i also thew notre dame(missed that rivalry) on my schedule. My school was preseason ranked #1 only person who left worth mentioning was Dorsey and Sands. I whipped arkansas(ranked 22) 24-7 in my first game, so, im gonna turn my settings to heisman to get some comp. I hope sega sports did their homework with their game because this game is solid. Did anyone noticed the in bowl games, the players have the bowl logo patch on their jerseys?? Thst is tight.

    I think I'm going to start over.
    3 winning seasons (2-1) in bowls (np bcs), but my recruitibg sucks. My classes get weaker and weaker.

    I'm going to start over and do two teams....
    1- Notre Dame
    2- Penn St

    I'm not sure if you can do two at once or if they have to be two separate dynasties....
    to be continued...

    After I beat Florida State the rest of the season should be honey. The only way I beat them was to hold the ball and milk the clock. I held the ball for 18 minutes and 36 seconds. I would have held it for 19 minutes and 32 seconds, but my dumbass halfback fumbled the ball with about a minute to go. It looks like I'll be playing Miami in the Fiesta Bowl if I can get through the rest of my schedule. The funny thing is, I'm ranked 6th overall, but in the bowl points thing I'm ranked 2 and slated to play Miami. I hope it holds up. I'm looking forward to recruiting and hoping a national championship brings in the recruits.

    I am on a 5 year plan to take SU to the national championship. I am not really interested in taking a team that should be national champs and making them national champs. What fun is it to take Miami and be #1? You are supposed to be #1!!

    My friend went much more extreme, than I, he has taken Rutgers and has a 7 year plan to take then to #1. Now that I have to see!

    Some of us are Hurricanes fans, and its against the law to play with other teams. Anyways, my first year was pretty much a breeze cuz my team had a lotta talent on it. But my recruiting season was garbage, and i will have very few talent after my second season. BTW i lost my 3rd game of the season against Colorado, and i mean an ass whippin. But now im ranked second in the polls, and 3rd in the BCS. If by the end of my 3rd franchise season, and im rackin up a ton of wins, i will switch teams, hell i cant even get an all american from my team. i believe that i still have a lot to learn, and when my talent depletes, it will get interesting.

    Default Second Season

    Well I am coning towards the end of my second season. I took Pennstate and University Of Louisiana - Monroe as my 2 teams. Botht teams finished with a bowl bid at the end fot he first season. ULM played in the New Orleans bowl and Penn State played in the Rose Bowl. As it stands right now, PSU is ranked #2 and ULM is #13 in Week #14. ULM still has 2 opponents to play against "weaker" opponents. So we'll see if they get a better bowl game. They are set for the New Orleans bowl again , at 8-1...hmm doesn't seem quite fair. And PSU is slated to go against Tennessee for the championship. We'll see what happens.

    As for my recruiting, I got an awesome TE for PSU. He has 24 TD's and 1300 yards for me in his freshman year. NO red shirt for him!!! And also ULM actually signed a 5 star QB by them name of Cooley. I couldnt believe it!! Both teams are on their way to some dominance I believ. Guess I'll have to step my level of play up eventually, but not until I have the 2 face each other in the National Championship...hehehehe! That way I am guarantedd..LOL!

    By the way, for those wondering, ULM is in the Sunbelt division.

    charlie,

    understood. i got no problems with that. as long as we are having fun!

    I am 2-0 in my second season now, playing pretty good ball so far. I started the season ranked 38th, beat 24th ranked Michigan, and 35th ranked Toledo. I am now ranked 19th and 21st. Highest ranking I've had yet. So, a good start.

    I really tried to redo my secondary in the offseason. It was not that good, and really got torn up by good passing teams. I think I mentioned I had the 25th best recruiting class. Not too bad, but was not as good as I had hoped. Only 3 blue chippers. So far, so good though.


    cougar,

    nice job with ULM. out of that division known for it's toughness...the ol' Sunbelt Conference.

    Well just finished season #2!!!!! And wouldn't you believe it there is controversy already. PSU is protesting the bowl ranking system. Week #14 was my final game for PSU which they won against Michigan State 35-24. They were ranked #2 and ended the season at that ranking. Well come the end of the seasona nd final bowl bids are announced. The #3 Team Colorado beats me out for the National Championship bowl against #1 Tennessee. I was 12-0!!!! Needless to say Joepa was not very happy!!!! And neither was I!! Darn bowl voters!!!

    Anyhow ended up losing to Washington in the Rose Bowl, meanwhile University of Louisiana-Monroe wins their second bowl bid at the New Orleans Bowl. They ended the season ranked #12.
    Offseason sucked. PSU had the 8th best recruiting class while ULM came it at #70. But I didnt get some key players that I needed for both teams. The next season ought to be very interesting. Both of my teams now halve half a roster with actual named players. Kewl!

    I will start the 3rd season at this ranking : PSU #6 and ULM #10.

    Here we go!!!
