College Football 25 - Enhancing the Cincinnati Bearcats in DYNASTY!

this video is presented by the EA Creator Network I once again want to thank the fabulous people at EA I do want to emphasize that this is a work in progress and what you're seeing in this video is not the final build of the game oh that loss hurt so bad I'm not even going to lie I'm still looking my WBS from that beat down that I just took from Dev and I think that is the perfect leeway for us to jump into Dynasty everything that I'm seeing here I'm seeing for the first time alongside you guys in Dynasty mode so let's see if we can't try and get Cincinnati back on track again I just want to emphasize that everything that I'm about to see I'm seeing for the first time I have not been in Dynasty mode yet but I know that Cincinnati needs a lot a lot of help so let's see if we can't go ahead and get that started welcome to Dynasty mode I'm reys Davis and it's time to start your coaching Journey first select whether you want to play online or offline an online D is place where you can invite your friends and also import your own custom created schools through team Builder let's go ahead and go into offline Dynasty next for this it's time to select your rosters choose to use the latest EA Sports recommended roster or choose one you've created personally we don't have a roster created yet so let's go ahead and go into the default roster that EA has created for us now it's time to customize your Dynasty experience choose your settings and customize your conferences complete with unique rules and protected Rivals okay so we'll keep the skill level on Varsity we can fire our coach if we've got to fire our coach we've got to fire our coach simple as that that okay so I'm liking with the exception of the quarters we'll go 4 minute quarters I'm liking everything that I'm seeing here thus far so we are good with Dynasty settings let's check out the custom conferences so Cincinnati is in the Big 12 we just got to the Big 12 and we are actually last in the division the last time I checked so there we are Cincinnati you can't see it because my camera is covering it up here but we've got Kansas and then we've got Texas Tech down below so actually let me go ahead and move my camera so you guys can see exactly what it is that I'm talking about here you can actually add a school that you want and I believe you can do this for all the conferences as well but for now for the sake of this video we're just going to keep everything as is so let me go ahead and back out of that and like I said I like all of our settings so let's go ahead and Advance it's now time to select your team Okay so we've got all of our teams here it looks like we can select based off of conferences so we're going to go into Big 12 we've got an 82 overall right now our offense is an 84 overall right now so we're going to go ahead and take over and we're going to do our darnest to make this program a lot better than what it is or at least try to so let's go ahead and pick Cincinnati here so here are our options we have head coach offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator let's go ahead and take over as the head coach here you'll choose to create a coach of your own or use an existing one okay so I like what I'm seeing here we can either create a brand new coach or we can work with the coach that we have Anthony Bates is our coach he's a level 24 he's pretty much a motivator offensive scheme is pistol defensive scheme is 335 pipeline is out of Iowa he has a c minus okay so here's where we get into motivator recruiter and tactician what is the most important thing to you acquiring players maximizing Player Development or putting your team in the best position to succeed okay so first name here let's go with Lauren I mean we'll just we'll go with Lauren period like period last name let's keep things on brand here we'll go Lauren period wkr how about that all right offensive Playbook we'll go with the spread offense and we will actually can we just let me see if I can't just go oh wait there it was spread option spread so we're going to make sure that we keep things keeping things simple here Alma M of course Cincinnati cuz that's where your girl went to school she went to the University of Cincinnati we're going to try and rebuild the Cincinnati program yes there we go pipeline sure why not you know let's just say that we came out of Alabama we were fortunate enough to watch Nick Sabin coaches last year yeah we we'll stick with Alabama all right appearance okay General head as we scroll down here okay how do we want to look oh I'm kind of I'm kind of digging this guy right here so we'll go there physique if he's tall I feel like he's going to have a little bit more influence as a taller guy so we'll say he in terms of weight we'll make him a moderately big guy 65 197 lb he's under 200 lb so why not all right apparel ooh coach's apparel shirt yeah this shirt's a bit of a plain jean so I'm liking the oh sweater they're calling it a sweater but it looks like a jacket it doesn't look like we can necessarily adjust anything with like the hair and the facial hair or anything like that so we'll go ahead and stick with this look all right we've got our new coach congratulations it's time to sign your first coaching contract make sure to pay attention to the expectations of the role so I guess it's to be expected our grade is pretty much the same grade as the coach that was in this position before us only difference is we're starting at a level one and they were at a level 24 so I really like our odds to be a way better Coach than the coach sh we had prior to this as you can see here it's got our record dating all the way back to 2004 the blll game appearances that we had and yeah so it looks like let's see oh we signed our contract I did that really really fast but it's a three-year contract hopefully I can be able to go back to that our goal is to win eight games I think we can make that happen so we've got a lot of stuff in here college football playoff this is where the rankings stand right now we are nowhere near or on that list coaching abilities team with the depth chart view roster red shirts all of our stats and records are going to be here and if we want to make any adjustments to the league settings sliders gameplay settings and all that we can do that here so let's go ahead and take a look at our actions here our weekly too list setup recruiting board custom schedules top stories so this is actually kind of cool we've got the preseason candidates for the Heisman trophy so this is where our coaching abilities tree is we've got the head coach we've got our offensive coordinator and we've got our defensive coordinator we don't really have anything unlocked just yet okay so we've got five coins that we can work towards in order to be able to unlock motivator for our offensive coach we need 10 so I believe these coins will be accumulated over time once we get certain accomplishments complete so awesome all right obviously the biggest thing that we need to be concerned with right now is getting our recruiting board set up and looking at our Scouts and Prospects okay so this is our recruiting board if you look over in the top right hand corner we've got 35 scholarships that we can offer and we've got 35 players that we can Target within this so at the top left here we've got the recruiting board we've got a prospect list we've got the transfer portal so no one's in the transfer portal right now as far as what's going on with the school right now we're about a C+ like I said earlier we are 82 overall 84 offense 82 defense I think defense right now might be some of our biggest concerns as you guys saw in the video with Dev I could not tell tackle to save my life so we've got to get some better players that can actually tackle and then we've got a list of our top classes here and you can break them down nationally break them down by conference so as far as Big 12 goes Arizona state is the big guy right now and here we are at the bottom of the division so I can't say it enough we've got our work cut out for us all right recruiting board add a prospect all right so we're ready to add a prospect all right so with our Prospect list as you can see we've got a lot a lot of needs starting from the top we need a Right Guard we need a left outside linebacker we need a right in we need a left tackle we need a left outside linebacker we need everybody obviously we're not going to be able to sign everybody but it's really letting us know what we need so going across the board here it's letting us know the rating of the position where they are right now in terms of the stage and the recruiting pool the state that they're in the pipeline if any offers have been made to them and where they are from a class standpoint so let's just take a look at the Right Guard right now Hometown kid he's agile he's little over 300 lb he wants to be able to play the top schools that he's interested in are Marshall Ohio State and Cincinnati so we're in his top three looks like Toledo is fourth and Louisville is five in terms of Interest let's go ahead and say that we are going to Target this kid ooh these are our team needs so this is the interface of our team needs and as you can see there's a lot of red going on here and it's not just referencing the colors of Cincinnati so we're going to need a quarterback half back fullback wide receiver left tackle guard right tackle and this is just on offense as far as defense goes Left End right end defensive tackle left outside linebacker middle linebacker right outside linebacker and a strong safety and then as far as special teams goes we're pretty good on special teams right now so hopefully the fellas will be able to develop over time let's check out our offense all right quarterback Let's see we are a B minus at the quarterback position let's see do we have anything that's just like really really bad okay fullback is just is really really bad so let's go back to our Prospect list let's see fullbacks that are on the board right now we got quite a few see if there's any that are on our potentially on our radar right now deal Baker proximity to home oh okay so so for the recommended we can go by state top prospects my pipelines let's see some of the prospects in Ohio are there any fullbacks right now in Ohio there are but we don't seem to be on their list right now in terms of Interest so that's okay let's go back up here and look at the recommendations for fullback all right for him he wants to be close to home let's take a look at the kid out of North Carolina he's really good at blocking so that's really going to be important for pass protection let's go ahead and Target this guy let's see quarterbacks we got a kid out of hilard Ohio he's a bit of a Scrambler so that's not terrible he's 64 182 lbs top prospect schools that he's looking at Ohio State number one Michigan State number two and cinin night number three so he he has an interest to come here let let's go ahead and get him on the target list as well so going back to our recruiting board we've got three guys we're definitely going to expand upon this list here but we've got a Right Guard a fullback and a quarterback that we've said hey these are some guys that we want to pay attention to let's go ahead and check out top stories of course we've got our Heisman Trophy candidates over here on this side Beck recognize Georgia quarterback 93 overall throwing power 94 overall throwing accuracy short 96 All-American Judkins kid out of Ohio State so we got to work our way up we only have five tokens right now so once we start to get more tokens accumulated then we can potentially upgrade our offensive cordinator potentially upgrade our defensive coordinator lot lots going on there so let's go ahead and advance to the next week and see what we get the idea of us being a championship Contender is a grade of a c we have some players that are also at risk here we got the top ranking schools over to the right so Colorado Washington State and we are down at 67 we're getting pretty close to start the season here let's go back and look at our recruiting see how we're doing there oh no so as time has gone by I think we were at one point top three with this Right Guard I believe now we're down all the way to five so we're not in a good shape at a from a recruiting standpoint right now let's see so scouting have we done any scouting we've done zero scouting we've got some Intel on his run blocking and finesse so okay recruiting let's see add action we need this Right Guard maybe let's shoot the guy a DM let's see if we can't send some communication over to him so we're going to go ahead and DM and that's going to cost us 10 recruiting hours these are the actions that we've taken thus far do we want to go ahead and offer the kid a scholarship I think we do so I kind of like this here let's search social media we've added that all right so we're things stand with our Right Guard we've done a lot we've gone on so social media we've sent them a DM we've contacted friends and family and we've offered them a scholarship we're really really just kind of throwing the bag at right now as you can see both Louisville the top three teams that he's interested in have already sent out scholarships we've thrown out a scholarship Adam so maybe that'll turn into something let's go back here oh shoot let's see the kid out of North Carolina we are completely completely completely off so let's go ahead and Scout him as far as recruiting goes let's go ahead and shoot him a DM let's also check out his social media okay and then our third guy here do we want to offer him a scholarship just yet he's a HomeTown kid it's very possible that he wants to stay at home just looking at the recruiting board we are down to six so that's not good that's not good there are some things that we probably should have done weeks prior to keep us in that top three but we've Fallen all the way to six we can't have this kid going to Michigan State he's already been made an offer by BG Michigan State and the Ohio Bobcats so he's looking at Michigan Ohio State hasn't made him any offers just yet so we're kind of playing catchup here all right let's go ahead and search his social media we've done that we're also going to shoot him a DM let's get some recruiting going nice throwing power okay awareness is not bad so his speed is a 93 I could see this kid really being our guy we've just really got to get more information about him and say we contact friends and family here's where we can do a soft sell hard cell or send someone to the house it's going to cost us 50 recruiting hours and that's okay and maybe we offer him a scholarship okay so we have offered him a scholarship so we've done a little bit of recruiting here with these Players let's go ahead and back back out and advance to week one okay so it looks like we've got some recruiting updates here as far as the Right Guard goes again this is a HomeTown kid we are going head-to-head right now with Michigan State to try to get Romeo oh my gosh JT has said Cincinnati you're number one on my list you guys have thrown everything at me screw everybody else this is a good sign that's a beautiful thing to see the FC at Southeast Pandas Against the Cincinnati Bearcats this is a winnable game we got to start getting some dubs here all right so if I accept this play full okay so we can either Play the full game play offense only play defense only play the moments you know what let's play the moments I don't know if I want to play the full game but we'll go ahead and play the moments we are in full on stripe out mode one of the best fight songs out there I don't care all right let's see if we can advance from this did he catch that no he didn't catch it all right he didn't catch it the weather the weather is not our friend right now going field goal did he get it we missed the field goal holy crap right it let's go ahead and jump ahead to the end of the game so it's simulating the game okay we got on the board we eventually got on the board three points 10 points okay oh we are just whooping up on FCS right now but they turned it into a game here 27 to 13 going into the fourth oh we got three more points and we got the dub so this is for sure going to help our recruiting right here our quarterback is the player of the game 226 passing yards 58 a little about 50 9% pass completion okay we've got XP leveled up o and we got some coins too so we can perhaps I don't know if we'll be able to start using abilities right away but up 25 can we pay it forward with our DBS I'm just picking some right now but this kind of breaks down the different areas at least the very first tier let's see what we can do with our offensive coordinate looks like these are still locked right now no worries there and for our defense okay so defense is unlocked and it looks like B on how we played some of these are available to us so we love to see that let's check out recruiting do we have any possible commits yet we're at the top of the list right now with our right tackle with JT so with JT we are still very much at the top of the list we've offered him a scholarship so hopefully we hear something from him soon we've completely fallen off with our fullback and with our quarterback we're number one I think we were number two so this is good this is absolutely good the week prior we were still at number two with Michigan State we are number one we've really gotten the attention of this quarterback I say let's go back to recruiting and you know what let's see let's add an action here can we okay we can't we haven't sent anybody at the house yet so let's see if we can't get some influence with our guy let's check out our top stories here big game between Clemson and Georgia Georgia was able to pull through 38 to 30 our next game is against pit holy crap we'll go back and play some moments completely evenly matched all right so let's go ahead we won't play full game Let's Play moments only out of the shot they go to the ground all right we're fighting let's keep running the ball here let's keep running the ball forward it easy onbody in this by break let those guys off get a hat on a hat you can run the ball pick up the first you're around mid there we go catch that let's go big time first down right there let's go all right let's play a key moment here all right second quarter third down a little will be first and go from there this offensive scoring position with a fresh set of downs Wide Open Wide Open Wide Open almost a chat what a grab and go for the score and this offense has started look at us we've got a nice substantial lead here on our way into halftime but yeah we had to roll out of the pocket there to get that touchdown love to see it all right more options let's see if we can jump ahead let's go ahead and end the game cuz I kind of want to see if we got any commits we beat pit this is a big one it was a rivalry game this just goes to show our recruits that we mean business player of the game of course our quarterback is player of the game the the quarterback completion has gone up so 82.8% return to the hub all right we got a lot of XP and a lot of points so love to see that let's go to advance to the next week did that do anything for our recruits I think it did all right recruiting update Romeo has reached his top five schools so we're still number one right now for Romeo for our quarterback we've made an offer Michigan State's made an offer Ohio's made an offer so all right let's go ahead and Advance let's check out our recruiting let's see if there's anything more that we can do okay so there is more that we can do go ahead and schedule that visit let's see is there anything else that we want to do Houston is 0 and2 right now so this could be big this could be huge for us if we're able to win this game against Houston I think we're going to be able to get this cat to commit okay so we have leveled up let's go to our recruiting update here so with our Right Guard he wants playing time that's it we're still number one with him let's go ahead and schedule a visit for him too recruiting I don't know if we'll be able to get him out the same week recruiting schedule a visit oh shoot let's see if we can't get him out for Arizona State campus tour attend practice we'll have them come out for practice during that week all right let's go back and look at our quarterback we drop down all right let's let's let's keep putting the pedal to the metal let's influence as good with friends and family all right we're going to DM him yeah we've already offered him a scholarship let's also get him out for a visit the same week that we're bringing out our Right Guard so we'll also have him attend to practice as well so I love it I like it I love it I like it all right we've got to get these two guys on our team like we actually need them all right we're advancing to the next week can we get a commit it's come down to the top three and we are in the top three all right our coaching XP is looking good let's check out our recruiting update oh no we're still at number two we are at number one right now with our fullback there's a very good Poss ability we can get him to commit all right let's see if we can't throw some more at these guys okay so recruiting we've offered him a scholarship it's coming out let's see if we can't get our fullback out here too recruiting schedule visit we'll also get him in for week eight we'll also have him attend to practice is there anything more we can do with our quarterback from a recruiting standpoint I don't think we have enough hours all right let's see oh no we lost our quarterback we lost our quarterback he committed to Michigan State dag on it what could we have done differently okay that's all right you know what he committed to Michigan State we'll just continue to try to develop the quarterback that we have let's see if we can't try and throw all of the nuts and bolts if we can with this guy with our Right Guard this is going to help out our current quarterback sucks cuz he was a HomeTown kid as well so we wish him all the best at Michigan State can we add any more actions here we're still number one for our right guard let's check out our fullback oh wow no one's in the transfer portal that's kind of interesting no one's upset yet all right we've scouted him at 100% Okay so we've added some more scouting to our fullback we've completely learned everything that we could possibly learn about our fullback maybe that was the problem we didn't complete our scouting hours with our with our quarterback so we're going to complete our scouting hours here okay all right we got to get a commit here guys we we we got to get a commit here advance into the next week week seven do we get a commit top three schools are we in the top three schools we're still number one we are still number one okay this is the make or break situation here we've got our fullback and we've got our Right Guard coming out for this game I'm going to go ahead and simulate it on to the next week can we get a commit for week eight let's see here we got him we got him let's go we got JT we got our Right Guard to commit to the University of Cincinnati oh my gosh there's no better feeling than this right here we did we did everything that we could we lost our quarter back we got him ah all right let's let's go he has committed we still got a lot of work to do with with our fullback it feels good that we knowing that we got to commit he was feeling the visit when we beat Arizona State and that was all that he needed that was all that he absolutely needed so there's going to be a lot of grinding hours in this mode to say the least I think the next time I go around with this there's going to be a lot more recruits that I'll have on the board as prospects for Cincinnati but it's really really cool to go through the process and to see what the new Dynasty mode is ultimately going to be like I think we're going to see a lot of grinding hours a lot of time put into trying to build up our team but recruiting recruiting recruiting is truly what makes this mode this mode I'm kind of sad that we lost our quarterback prospect he's going on to Michigan State but now we know what to do moving forward we know how to adjust from our mistakes and I'm looking forward to playing a lot more of this once the game does come out there's actually quite a few School schools that come to mind outside of Cincinnati that I'm thinking about rebuilding maybe we rebuild Kent State maybe we rebuild University of Oregon maybe we rebuild Georgia Tech there's just so many possibilities with this mode and so much fun that can be had in this mode and just knowing that you can literally start from the ground up for sure looking forward to more dynasty if you have not pre-ordered this game please please please consider pre-ordering the game launches worldwide July 19th Early Access is available July 16th I'll be playing Dynasty mode I'll be playing all the modes in the game I'm looking forward to it that's
