"all you had to do was make the sweet 16"?
really, thats all? just being one of the best 16 out of 384 teams? gosh, seems so easy now that i think about it.
Now it's: "Congrats on being one of the best 4% of HD coaches and actually working toward building a dynasty, which happens to be the name of the whole freaking game, here is $3".

I've alluded to this before in your case, VD. You probably can't even distinguish between $3 or $300, it's chump change to you! LOL.

Very interesting....they need to put the new upgrades into effect rather quickly.

Nellie, I think that's a big problem. I think most of the "upgrades" for HD end up being just changes that don't necessarily result in an upgrade or they are mere eye candy. So I'm betting that interest will continue to wane until they spend some time trying to improve the game engine and gameplay part of HD instead of spending their time on gimmicks, new graphics, display changes, etc.



Agreed...I'd love to see more consistent sim engines rather than eye candy, although anything would help at this point.

I'll go ahead and "double agreed" that.

I think they missed it with advertising push with the football playoff, I briefly saw, I think maybe on foxsports, where it said thanks to out friends at whatifsports we can see what would have happened if there had been college football playoffs, I was stoked when I saw it but then nothing......

I don't want changes just for the sake of change.
I like the new recruiting rules a lot!
I think 'potential' and 'dilemmas' are unnecessary and won't add any more entertainment value to the game

I agree with allblack.
Recruiting is much better now with the new changes.
The engine will always have a variance factor and I think that is what gets to people. Any time you have a RNG, you will get variance. There is no way around it. So no changes just because someone's #1 seed loses in the first round.
And I think some eye candy would be great. School color menu's, more information on one page, etc.

I think both will help make it more challenging. I think if you sign a player with temper issues you need to know that you're taking a chance, just like in RL. If you don't want to deal with dilemmas, sign players who treat the cheerleaders with respect.
