I think this is the biggest key. The CPU must be better at recruiting.

If there were gonna be FCS schools, don't you think they would've mentioned it by now?

As it should be.

In previous years you could really hammer those two things, but now it looks like it immedietly makes it so you can't talk to them for long? Say you really want and need some 4*, and have him tops of your board,

Which 1* prestige school ever lands 4* talent?

Bigger schools have more resources and thus can essentially get double the interest from recruits. This is a decent way to simulate. For instance ND has a private jet for coaches to recruit. I doubt any 1* or 2* schools could claim the same.

Right... just like real life.

I also like building up small schools and I love this addition. Hopefully, no longer will I be able to turn Idaho into a national power within 3-4 years. Building a small school up should be a long, laborious process. I hope this is well simulated within the game.

i agree, it will be nice to have it harder for a small school to be built up instead of how easy it is for a small school to land big time recruits like it is now.

Don't like the point system (as far as it showing you exactly how far ahead/behind a school is), but I am interested in the new phone call mechanic. It'd be nice if they released a patch where you could hide the ability to see how many points you're ahead/behind in online dynasties. I've always liked the meter because it let you know where you stood with a recruit and who you were competing against, but still left it ambiguous enough to make your recruiting decisions more difficult (as in real life).

I just don't feel that this is "blog-worthy" news at all.

I wish the news and blogs could all come from the new guys on the EA NCAA team.
