Ideal College Football

Hello all,

First off, I want to thank Mr_Green129, whose universe "Beautiful CFB" served as the base for this universe.

Universe: This universe is a fictional one that begins in 1950. It has 10 conferences, each with 18 teams for a total of 180. The conferences are a mixture of regional focus and historic rivalries. Instead of a general .json file, this one starts with pre-defined teams, players, and coaches. It is filled with fictional player and coaches -- however, their archetypes and schemes should match how we historically view the teams.

Players: I don't mind the avatar system and in fact prefer it to the specific/random face packs I have seen online, which can leave you with off-putting and ill-fitting players for different positions. To counteract this, I have edited players to be realistic in terms of demographics, names, and hairstyles. No longer will you have a black man with a blonde mullet whose name is John Nguyen or a white guy with red dreads name Jarvis Green. The game should feel more immersive.

Recruits: I have added custom recruiting classes from 1950-2000, the 50 years you can use a coach. They follow the same general demographic rules as the players. The only time there should be an exceptions is with the superstars included in the recruiting classes randomly (I usually go and edit those players manually).

Logos: The mod uses customized, idealized, and high-quality logos for teams, trophies, conferences, bowls, and playoffs. There should be no sponsorships, no mismanaged logos, and there should be a reversion to how we typically think of teams. I have created custom trophies for each conference that should make each one feel different.

Set-Up Recommendation: I highly recommend using the "8 team (conf champs only)" playoff format, which makes each conference championship feel more relevant and can prevent teams/players from winning too many times. The requirement of 8 conference champions (only missing MAC and Sun Belt) also adds a bit of fairness to the game. If you miss out on a conference championship, no playoffs for you!

I would also recommend turning off NIL. It's a scourge on modern college football (in my opinion) and it being off only improves the game.

Once again, thanks to Mr_Green129 for the inspiration, and to Achi for creating a wonderful game. Enjoy
