Excited to see how you do here! Always happy to see the Rainbow Warriors get some love!

The potential for a powerhouse on the islands is there, only waiting to be unlocked :curtain:

freshman year pt.2. ...looking at the qb height followed by the size of that line :dunkface:

good luck with the throwing windows :kghah:


really curious how this plays out tho in all honesty. gonna be a good test to see how the game implemented the pocket play
lol I figured the height thing would make it more difficult, but you nailed it on the head, I just hope EA implements it well.

Great choice! For my offline dynasty I’m debating between Hawaii and Delaware. I was trying to avoid being on the East Coast as that’s where I find myself more often than not, but I’m playing as Arizona in my online dynasty. Decisions, decisions…
yeah man I was thinking about doing another poor P4 team but decided to do the G5 route. MO State would be a fun one too since they are bottom 2 in the game. I'm going with Oregon in my online dynasty this season so hopefully I can compete. I replaced a Michigan user this past cycle and played four seasons but never got to the playoffs. Hoping I can do better from the jump with a better team.

Took Agent's team. Real one.
lol to be fair I at least DM'd him and asked if it was okay

but on the real bruv, i'd still follow along if more than one person uses the same team, going to be a different football universe and different approaches to the way we present things. Just the same unis and stadium is all.

Likewise CC, love seeing them have success on the field but it's been a while so i'll need to do them justice in the video game world.

Thanks for checking in guys, can't wait for CFB 26 to drop

I'm sure you could use another explosive weapon in the back field. It really is bro, that's why i'm excited for this season and I really hope Micah Alejado can live up to the hype.

Another fun story line to me is UNLV. They tied the school record for wins in a season with 11, but now have a brand new coaching staff led by Dan Mullen, a proven winner in the SEC, a loaded transfer class, and an NFL sized stadium ready to rock once the Rebels are turned into a dynasty.

As you know they call Las Vegas the "9th Island' because so many people from Hawaii move there (myself included) and it is the go-to vacation spot. Because I view both places as home, I've decided to also "cover" UNLV in this dynasty. I will be controlling both UH and UNLV in this dynasty, playing games and recruiting for both teams. When they meet later in the year I will simply do cpu vs cpu and watch the outcome.

love the idea of controlling both, shame they're both in the same conference though. Playing the same teams twice may get bothersome at some point. I always made a point not to schedule the same teams with Savage & Ball State.

Maybe future progress will be moving one of them into the Pac? :curtain:

Appreciate it bro. My friend and I bought tickets to the UNLV-Hawaii game at Allegiant in Nov so i'm super excited. Makes this dynasty that more interesting for me.

Yeah that is a good point redsox. I'm sure it will be a bit tedious but in a way I can use first game of a given week as a "scout game" then use that info for the second game. So I guess whoever is scheduled to kickoff second will get that advantage for the week. There will definitely be movement to the PAC (or possibly another conference :shrug: ) because most of the cpu talent will be leaving the MW after year one.

Although Hawaii and UNLV are both committed to the Mountain West in real life, I think we may see them cut ties and move on for the sake of competitiveness early on in the dynasty.
