Re: Evolution of the NDL

It blows my mind I've played 25 games of Madden no problem and every other game on the PS3 minus NCAA 12. Wisconsin was going to play for the title I tell you! 

Would this include eight month offseasons?Hoos wrote:Less seasons, but higher quality, means that we lose less people. We typically lose more people in the 3rd season. By losing less people, we have a better chance of growing the Farm back to where it should be.
Gentleman, I’m offering you Hooscare. Don’t be scared of change. A healthier NDL is a better NDL.

Seems like it would hard to "round up" everyone come July after that long of a layoff.
thats a decent ideaDRiccio21 wrote:reign's post gave me an idea... we could always give guys a bonus point for referring a new coach that actually makes it to the league.

I have played in a couple of long running OD's on Utopia for the last few years and love playing the other guys in my league but grew tired of all the games against the cpu and how cumbersome recruiting has become. We do write ups after our games on the forum though so it's a little different than the average OD so that transition to the NDL was easy. However, when I stumbled across an posting for the NDL I was immediately hooked. All user games for an entire season over the course of three years per release AND you get full stats for all the teams and write ups. It was like striking gold for me.jsence2 wrote:ReignOnU wrote:- Implementation of Online Dynasty: The average guy that wants to play a season does it through this mode.
+1,000,000
Especially when you add in the "newness" of each season by having new recruits, guys graduating, etc....and no stats to keep up with, no recaps to do, etc.I just wish I had found out about NDL a long time ago because it sucks to have missed out on something so great until now.

I had a buddy in the Farm for over a year (four seasons) and never got much feedback on his gameplay, what he could do to improve, etc., so he just gave up trying when '12 came out. I know its anecdotal, but thought Id mention it.ReignOnU wrote:

Thank you for your question Block. Hooscare is all about playing games and not about sitting around for 8 months. I propose that there are several different options for a 3rd season. Basketball and soccer have been very popular and we could go that direction. Certainly, an NFL style football 3rd season is available for those that are interested.Block M wrote:Would this include eight month offseasons?

Instead of forcing a 3rd season on everybody we open provide several options that keep all the fine people of the NDL around. There are a lot of options out there in gaming world and it’s time to diversify the NDL.
