Today is National Signing Day, the first day that high school seniors can sign a letter of intent indicating where they plan to play college football. Sure, most top recruits have already chosen their schools, but National Signing Day always offers last-minute drama and surprises. To celebrate the occasion, let’s take a look at some ideas for recruiting and Dynasty Mode in the NCAA Football series.

Very valid points. Recruiting can be and should be one of the most exciting things about a college football video game, and it's rather formulaic and boring.

Teams should be able to recruit high school players of all ages and clases. Teams should be able to offer as many scholarships as they can, and when their alotment of signees are filled then the offers are shut down. Teams should be stuck in shock when players decommit or recommit away/to them out of the blue. Teams should be able to .......(insert real life action).

We could go on for a while with the list, but the lack of detail and authenticity is what is killing EA's NCAA series from the simplest gameplay flaws to the off-season experience.

Would be a very interesting add to the game. Definitely would spice the edge of recruiting up a bit.

I get kind of bored of the "Oh, my dog doesn't think I should sign yet!" Or the "That's exactly what I was looking for coach."

This would be a great idea to add.

This is why I solely play Online Dynasty and can't even touch an offline dynasty for than a couple of weeks (real time). In OD (assuming you have a fair number of members) you actually fight over recruits with each other and the possibility of losing one more recruits is much higher.

Yes I know you fight the cpu for recruits as well but it just isn't the same with how stale the recruiting process is.

great...thanks alot...now the new feature will be "ncaa 13 now with all new signing day"

Jesus we need more people to speak up and talk about gameplay and not meaningless stuff like this. While I do agree it would be a great feature...this should only take a few days for the devs to make into the game..instead itll take a whole dev cycle.

Have you seen the forums and the dev interactions there? No sense beating a dead horse, I think they got the point.
