FBCB Questions

[henry296]

I have two questions:

1. Does your Assistant Head Coach (not Recruiting Coordinator) recruiting rating. It says Assistant Coach visit, but I am not sure which one does the visiting.

2. Would you rather have a PG with 50 Passing but a C potential or a PG with 30 Passing but A potential. What does high potential with low current ratings really mean?

Thanks

Your recruiting assistant is the one that makes the visits....at least I hope thats what I'm paying my current one $160K to do.

I would take the guy with the "A" for potential. Categories with "A" potential go up really fast, and if you factor in a redshirt year and a high level of training, then the rating is guaranteed to get higher than the "C" potential one.

I might be mistaken but I think the recruiting is actually done as an average of both your rating in recruiting as a head coach and your recruiting coordinator's recruiting rating.

Dola - as much as I'm enjoying my career.. I'm actually thinking about taking the plunge and starting over with more limited conference movement. My league barely resembles the recent league structures. However, it is hard to give up my history :(

I might be mistaken but I think the recruiting is actually done as an average of both your rating in recruiting as a head coach and your recruiting coordinator's recruiting rating.

I never read the manual on it, but I always assumed the recuiting assistant's rating is used for assistant visits and the Head Coach rating is used for Head Coach visits.

[Eaglesfan27]

Actually I decided to look where I saw this. This is from the manual:

The coaching staff consists of the head coach and three assistant coaches. The assistants fill the roles of recruiting coordinator, lead scout, and coaching assistant. Your team’s performance in each of these areas is a combination of the head coach’s skills and the assistants’ skills. The skills of the head coach and the assistants are weighted equally. Each assistant only affects the area that their role is responsible (the recruiting coordinator doesn’t have an impact on scouting).

Therefore, if the manual is correct then it is as I was remembering with your head coach counting for half the rating and the recruiting coordinator counting for half the rating.

I figure most recruits prefer to see the head coach (he probably brings the assistant along as well which would explain the higher cost of the recruiting action) which is the main advantage of doing one over the other. Least, this is my hypothesis on that aspect of the game.

Thanks guys. That is what I thought, but for a second I was confused about assistant coach. I always thought Recruiting Coordinator controlled recruiting.

My recruiting coordinator has a rating of 100, my assistant has a recruiting rating of 1. I have not been able to get anyone to sign.

For assistant visits, it is the recruiting coordinator's rating that matters. For head coach visits it is the head coach's rating that matters. For everything else it is 50/50 between the head coach and recruiting coordinator.

I really need to go back and write a more detailed version of the manual. I think it would be beneficial.

[Eaglesfan27]

Wow, glad to hear that clarification. Especially, since my recruiting assistant is horrible and I will never bother with assistant visits until I get a better recruiter in that position. I think a more detailed version of the manual would be very nice :)

Time for another one.

Do you give players multiple positions or do you pick just one. For example, would you put your starting Center as eligible at PF as well.

Thanks

[hollmt]

yeah you can give certain players multiple positions. C and PF can interchange pretty well as can SF and SG and SG and PG.

if you want to have fun, put your C as your PG...just a thought.

[HeavyReign]

The positions that I list each player at depend on the overall depth of the team. The most common thing for me is to list my starting C and PF at their normal positions and then the #1 backup at both positions. If your PF is better suited to C than the main backup, you could list him at C and then the backup only at PF. That would likely accomplish something similar.
