Prestige Ratings

[bagman428]

How can I view a teams prestige ratings and how often does it change the rating

[Seazyceaz]

Click on the team info on the menu that includes staff, roster, depth etc.. i think it is annually but am not 100% on that (I check after each season)

Changes every spring, I think on April 9.

New in CB2018 is the "Prestige Tracking" graph showing how your team's (and other teams) prestige progresses (or regresses) from year to year. You can find that in the "History" tab for your team.

You can also click the Assn Info link at the top - on that screen you can choose Team Information and see the prestige for every team in the game all at once. The prestige changes after each season and is based in two parts - one part long term history which changes very slowly over time and one part "now factor" so teams can see a significant increase or decrease if they had a much different season than the prior one.

Has anyone way into the future in their game yet 10-20 years or more... any wacky teams winning it all?

I've had low seeded teams win the tournament, but not extremely low.

In my save now, 2034. My team Creighton just won the national Championship. Weber State and New Mexico are very good too.

I think a bit of this will come to an end now since Gary made a recent change to the scheduling. After the latest patch I have noticed far fewer games in the pre-conference schedules where high major teams are visiting lower rung teams. This tended to produce upsets and then the teams from the higher leagues prestige would degrade rapidly allowing a lot of the lower league teams to rise up. Almost all of the teams in the ACC, B10, SEC, etc have good winning records going into the conference season now. So most of them will end up with at .500 or above records at the end of the season even after they beat up on each other... just like in real life... thanks Gary.

When was this scheduling patch update released? I downloaded the game about a week ago so I wonder if im covered there?

So you are saying now if i go 20-30 years into the future I wont see too many weird teams being at the top like weber state, creighton and new mexico and will be like normal is that what your saying?
