I really appreciate that, it means a lot! I can't wait to dive into this Year 2 season. You're welcome, glad to do it! You deserve all of the recognition and it's great to see your channel gaining more traction! Thanks for tuning in. -JV

Vastly different! It's going to take a while to get acclimated but I'm more than open to the challenge. Thanks for the heads up! It probably would've taken me an eternity to figure that out. Very weird but I'm glad I know for next time. -JV

Thanks a lot, it's great to be back! I'm going to catch up on all your videos with a binge over the next week or so--looking forward to it. Appreciate you sticking around! -JV

Yes sir! Very fun game but now we just need our special teams to come along and we'll be clicking in all phases. You've been killing it in the punting game! As always thanks a ton for all of the support! -JV

@@JVidsGaming The"rugby" punt is a double edged sword, but it's been working alright so far!

Thanks Bill, really appreciate that! Great points on recruiting. Originally I had somewhat of a plan on positions we needed to address but soon realized we're probably best off bringing in as many bodies as possible. Welcome to the channel and I look forward to hearing about your Kennesaw Dynasty! -JV

Yes they are! Watching your vids have helped with the acclimation. -JV

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them! Next season I definitely need to get more recruiting updates into the mix. -JV

Thank you, we certainly are! Too bad we couldn't sneak out of this game with the win but a tremendous result regardless. -JV

Thanks I appreciate that! I'm loving your Legacy Dynasty. Tremendous start for your Wolfpack! -JV

@@JVidsGaming thanks! I took a little different approach since it's a vastly different game. 14 obviously need to be spiced up a bit, but 25 is brand new so things like recruiting might be a bit more lax😀

I feel like it's going to take a while for me to fully get acclimated with recruiting. Certainly even more difficult with the limited resources starting as a low tier program but I'm up for the challenge. Really looking forward to your next video, Go Owls! -JV

Thanks man! I'm still getting a feel for the gameplay and all the adjustments but we're definitely progressing. Luckily I'm getting more comfortable with each game. I hear ya on that--I probably should've waited a little bit myself but we're just going to ride with it. USC is probably a super fun team to play with. -JV

@@JVidsGaming it's challenging but my defense is terrible lol

I hear that! Defense is so difficult. Just stick with it and we'll get there! -JV

Back like I never left! After taking a little break I have a refreshed outlook on this new series and I'm excited to get the first couple of seasons under our belt and shape this team. Great tip. I mixed that in a lot more in the next video and will keep trying to establish a rhythm with it. Have you been playing a dynasty of your own? -JV

Really appreciate you! Sorry for the little hiatus but we're going to get back into it! New vid coming soon. -JV

@@JVidsGaming all good. I can imagine you need a break

Exactly! As much as I love making these videos I needed to take a step back and enjoy some time away for a little bit. I appreciate your understanding and it's great to know you'll always be along for the ride! -JV

Exactly! Rome wasn't built in a day. I appreciate the ongoing support and words of encouragement! -JV

It absolutely is! I really appreciate your support in the building of this program! We'll get there eventually--can only go up from here. -JV

Haha it's the least I could do. Thanks for your support! I'm glad to see you check out the new series! -JV

Thanks my friend! Took a little hiatus but we're back up and running. New episode will be up momentarily. I really appreciate your support since the start of my channel! -JV

Thanks I really appreciate that! Glad you enjoy these offseason episodes as much as I do. Harris was not taking no for an answer! I guess we'll just have to make a spot for him lol. -JV

Great choice! We've been conducting interviews and it looks like he's getting called back in for a second interview. 😄 Really appreciate the feedback! Terry would be a great candidate to rebuild a struggling D1 program. -JV

Thanks man! Great time for us to finish with our best season just before we shift our focus over to CFB 25. Can't express how much it's meant to me to have you as a loyal follower and I'm excited for the next dynasty as well! -JV

The timing was definitely perfect! As much as I've wanted to get more points per individual prospect, it was a more pressing need to get more offseason recruiting resources. Thanks for sticking around with this dynasty! -JV

Thanks man! Wish we could've made it a little more lopsided based on the competition but a win is a win! -JV

Thank you! He does, doesn't he? It's hard to throw him back on the bench with Greg Walker coming back from injury but at least we got some reps with him before he's set to take over as the full time starter next year. -JV

Same here man! Victory is always good for the psyche. -JV

I appreciate that! I thought the same about Jones, but just goes to show that progression isn't always linear. Hopefully he bounces back next year as a senior. Definitely a deep backfield though, especially bringing in another 4 star. Thanks for the comment! -JV

Same here! That's another great one that's been discontinued for whatever reason. I appreciate you responding to my senseless banter. lol -JV

Thanks man! This one was a lot of fun--it was great getting Jason Smith going. -JV

Thanks for watching! I really appreciate the kind words. -JV

Thanks man I appreciate it! Definitely was a tough game and took me a while to get acclimated to such a different skillset at QB. With that being said though, I'm super excited to see how Smith develops as the starting QB after this season. -JV

@@JVidsGaming same! His potential screams higher ranks

Absolutely! I think it'll only be another season or two before we finally work our way into the Top 5 and compete for a Natty. Thanks for always sticking with this dynasty! -JV

@@JVidsGaming of course man. I'm waiting for the climb to #1

@@jokabananacream Appreciate you for that! We'll get there eventually. -JV

It's 99% the same exact experience. I think this year they added more in the "Top Prospects" menu--now you can search top prospects by team or position. Other than that though, franchise has been pretty much the same for the past decade or so. It's a shame they don't put more effort into franchise mode--there is so much potential and so many cool features they could add but just refuse. They need to stop pouring so many resources into Diamond Dynasty. Sorry for the rant lol. Ultimately, I would just stick with 23 unless you could find 24 dirt cheap as it doesn't pose much of an upgrade. Thanks for watching and I hope you stick around for this series! -JV

@@JVidsGaming thanks for the reply

Thanks man! This game was tons of fun I really enjoyed this one. -JV

Thanks man! Great to hear from you despite your Badgers taking the loss. lol I'm starting to get a lot more comfortable on the option plays--definitely going to lean on the pitch more often in those spots. -JV

@@JVidsGaming in this special case it's #marquette4ever lol.

I appreciate that! Means a lot. -JV

I'm glad you checked it out! I would previously handwrite everything up until a couple of years ago. I can't take credit for the template though. Makes a lot of sense. After advancing I regretted not redshirting one of those JR RBs--would've said he got injured in the Spring and took a medical redshirt. Maybe I'll try that next year, although at that point I may just let them ride out their last year of eligibility. I'm excited too! Of course, the expectations rise each season but at this point, we really have the team in place that we've been building since Year 1. All the support has been greatly appreciated! -JV

Thank you! It's been a pleasure. I definitely want to play with one of the newer teams so I was deciding between Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, and SHSU. What about you? -JV

Thanks my dude! I'm looking forward to CFB 25 as well! I'm not sure if I should do another TeamBuilder or pick a team like Kennesaw State but still some time to figure it out. Def gonna squeeze at least one more season in with Marquette before I start a series with the new game. -JV

@@JVidsGaming great news!

Thanks man! I'm excited for future seasons as well. Shouldn't be too far off from competing for a National Championship! -JV

Thanks man! A little flat on offense but we had our moments, just couldn't find the end zone unfortunately. Super tough opponent but I think we played them good, minus a couple mistakes here and there. Gotta respond well in the regular season finale against Cal! -JV

@@JVidsGaming team is looking better overall. Love the experimenting

My man! Thanks a lot as always! -JV

Thanks man! Hard fought victory in a tough environment and I'm so relieved our aggressive play call at the end went to our favor--getting stuffed there would've been rough. -JV

Thanks man! Tough that we couldn't pull it out but those turnovers early on really cost us. Haha Juice would definitely be proud--we need to bring him on as a DB coach or something. Thanks for the ongoing support! Should have the next episode up within the hour. -JV

Haha that's what I like to hear! I appreciate the support! -JV

@@JVidsGaming hey we didn't get this far for nothing

@@jokabananacream Exactly! Really appreciate the loyalty. The "War For Wisconsin" episode will be up shortly. -JV

Brody, Thank you so much for watching and for the comment! Your words mean a lot to me and it's comments like these that make all the work worthwhile. Welcome to the channel and your viewership is greatly appreciated! -JV

Thanks man! Tough collapse there at the end but at least it made for an entertaining game. Haha and yea I think so too! As always my dude thanks a lot for being a loyal viewer! -JV

That's great to hear, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the series. Your comment means a lot, I really appreciate it. -JV

Thanks man! Felt a little overwhelming at first but we settled in nicely and played our game. This feels like it's going to be a very special season! -JV

Thanks man that means a lot! I really appreciate your enthusiasm with this series and your viewership. I'll give that a go in one of these next couple games--I'm pretty sure I have some sweeps in the playbook although I rarely call them for some reason. -JV

@@JVidsGaming i understand why you don't lol it may help with whoever has the best acceleration in your backfield

Exactly! Sometimes the RB can really struggle to get going. I called it against Tennessee (video will be up tonight) and we had a decent result. I think I'm going to leave it in my back pocket for late in games as I think that specific run design will cater well against the defense when they're a little more fatigued and worn down. I still have to try and pull off a step back! Trying to work it into the repertoire but my mind is always on spin move lol. There was a big missed opportunity--this game or maybe the next where I was running up the sideline and went spin when a step back would've been perfect. We'll get there eventually lol. -JV

@@JVidsGaming hey do what works for you. I'm just a happy viewer lol

Of course but this is our team so I'm always willing to add in your suggestions. Plus it'll help me become a better player. Appreciate it! -JV

Yes sir! In past seasons I would be overconscientious with the mindset, "just don't make mistakes". Trying to play a little more freely and loosen things up a bit and it's really been paying off! Thanks for the ongoing support! -JV

Thanks man! They look very promising indeed--I think we're going to continue to rise and Year 5 should mark our best season yet. The option game definitely looks to be more stable this season and I appreciate the punting input! -JV

Thanks I appreciate that! I'm really excited about that "FB" signing. It's going to open up different layers to the offense that we hadn't used before. If you have any formation suggestions to utilize him feel free to let me know! If not no worries. -JV

@@JVidsGaming I never use the FB as much as I think I will😀, but some formations I like are the usual: I Form, Strong, & Weak. But I also like Pistol Full House, SG Wing Offset, and the SG Split Back. I've also been known to sub in my FB (RS from play call screen) for RB in a lot of my 11 personnel formations and sub for a TE in 12 personnel formations. You're going to attract a lot of FB attention by playing your guy in the slot! The yards he averages per game will apply to Play Style for FBs, so you'll probably have an "A" grade for FB play style. Fun stuff!

Haha same here! Hyped up his utilization all offseason just to stick him in the slot most of the time (where he's been killing it). I really want to start getting him some snaps in the backfield though, and I like the creativity out of Pistol Full House, along with the SG sets. I'm definitely gonna alter the playbook slightly and try to show off his versatility a bit better. Appreciate all the feedback! -JV

Thanks man, as am I! I always look forward to the feel of a fresh roster and a clean slate. Hoping for our best season yet! -JV

Thanks man! All the hard work starting to pay off. Haha that's too funny this game had you cheering like a real life game. That's awesome--that comment made my day. Cheers to another great season! -JV
