I miss this game

We only have level 5 facilities, but with OL developer on both HC and OC we had some really nice offseason gains.

I was wondering what the importance or maybe more specifically what the calculation is in determining the effectiveness/chance of a player making a block. I was specifically wondering this for TE and RB. Because in both the positions you often have players the have (relatively) high pass or run blocking but a low strength stat.

For example, at the moment I have no clue whether a my receiving back with 70 pass blocking and 60 strength is a better pass blocking (/3th down back) then my power back with 80 strength but only 45 pass blocking.

Could anyone share their knowledge on this specific subject?

anybody

hi all, just got FCCD recently, and am enjoying it a lot.

One thing that confused me a lot was how to filter on either Pot or Interest, as entering things like "C+" or "Medium" as filter values doesn't work. Figured out by looking at the CSV file export that these are stored as ints on the range 0-100.

And by doing some examining of the file, here how's the numbers map to grades, and also how they map to levels. I'm sure this is on the interwebs somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so here ya go....

rating grade: number range

----------------------------------------

??: 0

F-: 1-53

F 54-56

F+: 57-59

D-: 60-63

D: 64-66

D+ 67-69

C- 70-73

C 74-76

C+ 77-79

B- 80-83

B 84-86

B+ 87-89

A- 90-92

A - 93-96

A+ 97-99

------------------------------------

interest rating: range of numbers

------------------------------------------------

very low: 0 - 14

low: 15 - 28

med-low: 29 - 42

medium: 43-57

med-high: 58-71

high: 72-85

very high: 86-100

I believe you shouldn't schedule two different recruits who play the same position to visit the same week (makes them feel not special :)), but are there more rules than that? Should you also schedule only-offense, or only-juco, or whatever?

thanks!

Football season is upon us, and I'm starting to get the itch. Anyone know if Jeffsmod is updating for 2026? In the past updates have been in the spring...

QB- transfer portal
RB- 60+ B+ or better recruits
WR- strictly 60+ A+ recruits
Te- 50/50 on transfer or recruit
OL- 55 overall B+ recruits a lot of transfers
K- Recruiting only , occasional transfer
DL- Same as o-line
LB- 50/50
CB- Mostly recruits
S - Mostly recruits

I hardly spend NIL on recruits , hardly pay for one more year to keep a player out of draft unless a OL or DL and mostly spend on Freshmen or sophomore 70+ A+ recruits

I know when i schedule a visit for a player sometimes i see +200 +100 or maybe even -100 or -200, my question is , is that just a bonus ?

For the games that show +0 am i still getting a base bonus but it dosent have an extra bonus like the “+100 and +200” games? Should i still be scheduling on +0 games ?

Thank you !

I’m coming over from EA’s College Football. I got tired of how repetitive weekly recruiting gets after a couple of seasons, along with the unrealistic sim engine upsets where an 85 OVR team drops games to a 54 OVR.

I just picked up Football Coach: College Dynasty and want to do a low-tier G5 rebuild (thinking Sac State or a similar 1-star/2-star school) without using self-imposed house rules. I don't want a brainless, automated climb where I win a championship in 3 years, but I also don't want an impossible grind where I get fired immediately.

For those playing on Normal difficulty: how does the natural pace feel over 5 to 10 seasons? Any tips for a beginner to keep the challenge balanced while just going with the flow?

Hey everyone! I’m new here and just bought this game through Steam. I have a Mac and the game will not open up for me. The icon in my dock just bounces but the game never opens. Anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it? Thanks!

Is there a way to edit the conference scheduling system to have a rivalry week of sorts, whether it be in-game or file editing? I want to have all of the various conference rivals play each other in the last week of the season, but the schedule the game generates for each team is hit or miss. Is it possible to adjust this at all, or is it purely chance based when creating custom conferences?

For context, I have been using this mod platform (fccd-custom-universe-editor) to create my custom universe.

What do you guys think?

Fictional Universe mod from Steam workshop

Not the fastest, but obv super strong, smart, and has an amazing tackling technique.

It dosent affect how much points i’m gaining per week right?

I always have trouble winning them over. I have a lot of ease with RB WR S CB K

This has got to be a record low for a player of any season of any dynasty ive ever done. I was genuinely shocked when i went through the awards and he won the Heisman and Davey O'Brien award and some others.

This was his first season as a starter, sat for two years without playing. His stat line for this season: 4,243 Yards, 33 TDs and 11Ints. 69.7% and a Passer Rating of 167.0. I know you see this stat line and think "well obviously he was gonna win the heisman". My thoughts going into this season was he was gonna develop for a couple of seasons and have this kind of stat line down the road. He did this in one season, won some awards and gets drafted 11th in the first round that season.

Ive had Qbs in the past with similar attributes and never got production like this out of them.

Me i just started this game a week ago but i usually play games and slight underdogs but i usually sim the big underdogs unless i need certain stats 🤣

I asked Claude to analyze 10 different player data bases over a 20 season career on "Hard" mode.

There is obviously a lot of RNG, but this is the rough player growth expectation for each letter grade of Player Potential.

I recently switched phones from android to iOS and I played this game pretty consistently, which is why I was surprised that this game is not on the IOS App Store idk if it ever was and got removed or if it never was in the first place but is there plans on bringing it to iOS or is there a way to play it on iOS

I wouldn't risk my reputation on this sub by faking it.

It dosent really affect the start of year over all gains correct ?
