Troy Dynasty - NCAA14 || Season 5, Week 2 - Luck of the Irish?


Danger

Recommended Posts

Hey, yeah I'm definitely not copying MKnight or anything. Anywho I'm using the most up to date rosters possible. They're currently somewhat of a mishmosh of this years and last years, but most of the power 5 schools are updated. I've aligned the conferences as close to current as I've was able to. I will be playing this on coach mode, where I don't use the players but I do call the plays.

Here are my initial recruiting targets out the gate. Haven't been able to finish scouting all of my board yet and I'm somewhat waiting to see who is and isn't going to be pursued by other schools that I can't hope to beat so for now it's just these guys I'll give you.

Looking at your roster, looks to me like you'll have to land a QB, OT, MLB and Safety in this draft class.  Otherwise next year could  be rough.  You could probably use several TEs as well. 

Yeah unfortunately this team is VERY lacking at certain position in my first year.

First game - This is using coach mode. I enjoy it that's for sure.

Troy   UAB
Record 0-0 @ Record 0-0
OVR OFF DEF   OVR OFF DEF
81 83 78   77 79 76

I had a bit of an advantage but I didn't really expect it to be quite this lopsided.

Scoring Summary
  1st Q 2nd Q 3rd Q 4th Q Final
UAB 0 7 0 0 7
Troy 7 14 10 7 38

Troy's only score was on a breakdown in coverage on a 79 yard pass deep with no defenders in the area.
I took my foot off the gas most of the way through the 3rd quarter and just burned the clock, subbed in all backups midway through the 4th.

They had about 7 Kick Returns for 28 yards per and that's not something I'm glad about at this point in time. Defense was stout though. Did whatever we wanted offensively, in the run game particularly.

Elected to kick and it paid off, got a pick on the very first play from scrimmage returned down to the 8. Jordan Chunn is madman in the first quarter racking up nearly 100 yards and 3 Touchdowns. He end's up cooling off for the remainder of the game though. Still, busting it open helped a lot. Pulled my offense near the start of the 4th quarter for the backups. The defense started to slack around that same time so I left the starters on the field. They sort of fell apart in the 4th quarter, but fortunately the game was out of reach at that point in time. Kickoff coverage remains to be a big issue for this team though.

I'll say this. QB Silvers only had 2 incompletions which is remarkable. One of them was a hail mary at the end of the 1st half which resulted in his lone interception. #Chunn4Heisman

You said you’re playing on “coach mode”?  I find it surprising you won this game using that mode.

Dropped the other QB prospect Jeff Jones because he's a bust. 68 overall. Found another QB that no other school seems to be actively recruiting in Ryan Mendoza, who it turns out is 79 overall. I also happened to find yet another diamond in the rough OT, that makes 2 that are SUPER underrated at first glance, Mike Shultz isn't even being actively recruited. If I can get most of the guys I'm going after right now alone, this will be a tremendous first recruiting class.

This is looking like a tough game heading into it.

Well for a while there I was pretty hopeful that I'd be able to pull out the upset, but the offense completely laid an egg in the 2nd half. Offensive line got manhandled all day, but at least QB Brandon Silvers was giving his all.

I more or less gave up on the run game because I was averaging just shy of 3 yards per carry.

Week 5 recruiting, nothing really noteworthy. Added another guard Kevin Willis to actively recruit and scheduled some visits. Only notable one at this point is for OT Jamaal Walker.

I have so many questions:

- How big is OT M Shultz?  What is his STR rating? 

- Is WR K Parham a speed guy or possession?  

- How tall is CB D Sharp?

- Is QB R  Mendoza a dual threat or pocket QB?

- ATHs G Stewart and C Rushing, what position do you think these guys would play? 

- How tall is OLB J Jones?  Does he look like a pass rusher or coverage guy?
