Naturally, there are more than a hundred Division 1 schools for your choosing, from Alabama to Akron and every college in between. The Dynasty mode has been beefed up, with a revamped and incredibly deep recruiting model that enables you to scour the virtual country for prospects to court and sign. Between targeting high schoolers, deciding when and how to contact them, and making promises to lure them to your school, it’s no easy task to build up your squad from an also-ran to a championship contender. Obviously, if you’re coaching up Texas or USC, life’s a lot easier than in outposts like Wyoming. Regardless, transforming yourself from Gerry Faust into Bear Bryant takes plenty of time and effort, but the results can be fantastic.
