Which Coach XP Speed Setting Should You Pick?
After the July 16 update, Dynasty offers three Coach XP Speed settings instead of sliders. Each setting determines how quickly you earn Coach Points and progress through levels.
- Career (1.0x XP): The new default and the intended Dynasty Blueprint experience. Every Coach Point and decision carries more weight across a 20-30 year career.
- Simulation (1.25x XP): A balanced pace for players who want progression a bit faster than Career.
- Casual (1.5x XP): Equivalent to the old Faster setting, this option unlocks abilities quickly.
How Does Coach Progression Work Now?
Coach Level is not a legacy score of wins and losses. Coach Points come from several sources:
- Active archetype perk
- Staff hires
- Wins and goals
- On-field performance
- Annual contract payouts
Moving into higher-tier archetypes (Elite, Hybrid, Program Builder, CEO) accelerates growth. The maximum Coach Level remains 100, and you cannot unlock every perk even at that cap.
Why Was 'Fastest' Removed?
EA states that the former Fastest option is not returning because faster progression allowed too many coaches to reach top abilities early, reducing the impact of Dynasty's wider systems. Online Dynasty commissioners choose the setting for the entire league.
