    End of year review
    So how did my team get on following the approach outlined in the steps above.  Well we finished rank #10, having gone undefeated all season (albeit not playing any high ranked teams and being in a relatively low status division).  Or overall recruiting was sucessful with the following showing the overall results:
    The only real worry and gap is at Centre - where we will only have 3 seniors, all of whom will be final year Seniors next year(assuming none declare early and are picked in the NFL draft).  This will be a real focus for recruiting next year and I already have a lead for a junior 3* centre that I targeted half way through the year.
    My overall recruiting class for this first year is as follows:
    Plus a 2* FB on the bottom, which I couldn't quite fit on screen, but was a contingency if my prime 4* FB didn't commit).  My bonus was getting Harlan Stamper a 5* CB, who I managed to recruit almost uncontested.  From those that rejected you'll see the number of running backs that turned my side down through the year - I really struggled to find RBs that would commit to my team, so ended thankfully with a 4* (Robert Murray) and a 3* JUCO transfer (Jack Frakes); hopefully with solid training I will be able to establish some form of running game next year, rather than being so one-dimensionally pass heavy.  I managed what I think is a good balance of 12 Seniors, focussed on filling immediate needs and 7 mostly 4* Juniors which will take some of the immediate pressure off recruiting next year).
    Some final highlights after the first season:

    9 players drafted, including the 9th overall draft pick.  The records show how pass heavy the offense was that first year with nearly 6,000 yards in the air and less than 1,000 on the ground.  The teams overall reputation rating increased to 72 and the presetige sky-rocketed with the 9 players drafted by the NFL.  All in all, a season way above expectation for a smaller college with limited football legacy.
    As a final bonus I'll finish on the main thing I wished I'd known the first time I played this through (and a call back to earlier).  At the start of the second year, remember to set training patterns for all your new recruits (and the walk-ons once they arrive).  This was something that totally passed me by on my first playthough.  I assumed that as I only had a single default training pattern, all the new players would slot in.  They don't and I wondered why all the new recruits didn't live up to their hype.  Several seasons in I found the players tab of the training menu and realised all the post-year 1 players had empty training assignments:
    So thats it from me.  If you are reading this you've made it all the way to the end of this guide/walkthrough.  Thank you, I hope this was helpful as an overview of the main actions and decisions needed for the first season of prestige.  Good luck in your own path as Head Coaches.
  12. Thanks
    Chris reacted to Paul C in Introductions @ CTFM   
    I know it will be a bit late for you two, but I've added a thread in Dynasty Stories where I go through the key things I consider in the first year of a play through in Prestige mode, with posts on things such as Practice setup, recruitment strategy, identifying appropriate recruits, tweaking the depth chart and players I would target to red shirt and why.  I'm sure it won't cover everything (especially play design and play calling during games especially), but I hope it might be useful to some.  A word of warning, this has been developed by a player, based on my own experience of the game.  If you follow it, you may end up replicating bad habits / sub-optimal strategies I've use!

    Chris reacted to GM Games in [Wolverine Studios] WSBA Sim Recap   
    Welcome to the WSBA Sim Recap – a weekly blog piece to talk about the latest happenings in the WSBA – the first ever online league run by Wolverine Studios. If you’re looking for all the details on the league or to even join yourself click the button below and check out the league for yourself.
    Check Out The WSBA Homepage Can Anyone Stop The Bison?
    Chicago entered the sim with an 8-0 record and continued their unbeaten streak with seven more wins and even more impressive all of those wins were double digit victories. SG Ben Greer has been amazing leading the team with 26.3 PPG but he’s not doing all the heavy lifting. SF Justin Brown has been no slouch himself averaging 20.1 PPG to go with 10.9 RPG, 7.3 APG and 1.9 SPG. As long as these two are healthy I’m not sure anyone can stop the Bison this season.
    Charlotte Gets A W!
    Charlotte, on the other hand, entered the sim looking for its first victory and they didn’t wait long – dispatching of the Boston Irish 112-102 – at the beginning of the sim. The Wasps would go on to win one more game but at an overall record now of 2-13 their hopes are clearly of ping pong balls bouncing their way and not of the playoffs.
    OKC Makes Their Move…
    While the attention of the league has been focused on Chicago, Oklahoma City has been kicking up some dust in the West. The Twisters are 13-1 themselves and have a big three that would make anyone jealous. PF Shon Roberts currently leads the league in scoring at 29.9 PPG (to go along with his 11.3 RPG, 3.2 BPG and 2.2 SPG) and is possibly the early leader for MVP.
    The Twisters also rely heavily on PG Shota Sumbatashvili and C Noel Bishop. This overseas dynamic duo from Estonia and Australia respectively provide the perfect compliment to each other and while either one could be a top option on any team here they represent the second and third options in the pecking order which is a fantastic luxury for the Twisters. Could we be heading to an OKC/CHI final? That’s what it looks like after the first two sims.

    Delegations
    This is really a question of personal preference. Click on the left hand side menu on "Settings" and toggle the CPU buttons as preferred. Don't forget to click on save changes after deciding.

    Coach handling determines whether you can hire and fire your co-ordinators in the post-season. This isn't a major job to take control of, so I like to keep assistance off in this area.
    Personally the vast majority of my fun comes from handling recruitment, so I'm definitely not having interference in that area!
    Future schedules determines (for the most part in 0.8.5) whether assistants will arrange future games outside your conference. I'll cover this in a separate post below, but when I was starting out I left turned CPU assistance on and took over after a couple of seasons. (Even with this turned off, I would occasionally get emails to respond to asking if I wanted to agree or decline a request for a game – I'm assuming that this is where my team couldn't decide, so passed it up to me)
    Disciplinary action determines whether you control punishments for students breaking rules.  Punishments can range from a warning, to suspended from the team for up to 7 weeks.  The college itself can also suspend for certain activities, which will automatically impact on player and the team, regardless of who has control for football related discipline matters.  I tend to keep this in my control, as although I'm consisent and fair at all times, I might not want to suspend the star quarterback in bowl week!!
