EA Sports College Football: 5 must-adds to dynasty mode

1. New rivalries

Some college football rivalries last forever. Some continue even if one team winds up in a different conference due to realignment. But oftentimes, those rivalries don’t last.

Take West Virginia for example. Their listed rivalries on NCAA Football 14 were Pittsburgh, Louisville, Maryland, and Syracuse – all teams they used to meet regularly. This is post-Big East, but they hadn’t established any new rivalries yet in the Big 12. Why can’t that be a feature in dynasty mode?

Sticking with the Mountaineers, they’ve created somewhat of a rivalry with the Texas Longhorns. A couple back-and-forth on-field battles helped, but the “Horns Down,” gesture both on and off the field fueled it.

The addition of deeper assistant coaching trees would provide for even more potential rivalries. Getting back to the Nick Saban coaching tree from before – Georgia’s become somewhat of a rivalry for the Crimson Tide since Smart took over. In the same manner, if Sarkisian and the Longhorns met the Crimson Tide in the postseason, that could create another interesting rivalry between head coach and disciple.

With plenty of unknowns about EA Sports College Football and its release, there are plenty of wants and suggestions out there. Do you agree with ours? What other ideas would you like to see implemented?
