Does anyone do auto-recruiting in Dynasty?

Same, I love recruiting and actually surprised how addicting it is. I rather recruit than play out most of my games.

I simmed a season for testing and turned on auto recruiting. My Michigan team’s recruiter signed 10 recruits (average recruits at that) while the rest of the B1G signed 20+. EDIT: this was pre-patch

I just heard on The Gaming Tailgate Podcast that someone had Alabama only sign 5 recruits on Auto Recruiting, and that was post-patch.

I just simmed a season with NC State and had the 29th best recruiting class so seemed to be accurate to me. I used the generic level 30 coach though, so curious if the folks getting bad auto-recruiting are creating level 1 coaches.

I do because I don’t use just one team. Right now I’m just going thru each week and switching to whatever teams games I wanna play that week.

I just don't have the time (kids, job, etc...) to do recruiting, so I set my Alabama dynasty to auto-recruit. I knew there were issues when by week 10 or so Georgia had 15 top level recruits signed and I was the only school in the nation with ZERO signed recruits. I went with it for the time being, but at the end of an undefeated national championship season, the computer signed two 4-star players, and two 3-star players. None in a position of need as designated by the game. Plus my star CB transferred because of "playing time" issues...even though he had the most snaps on the team. The game is much improved post patch, but I think I'll wait until the next patch and then restart a dynasty if these things get fixed. Otherwise it was a frustrating yet enjoyable experience for a couple of weeks.

It's hard to enjoy when so much doesn't work correctly and Dynasty is the only mode I care about. First I've heard about the playing time transfer issue, but that's awful. It's like what is even the point of trying to appease them if they leave even when their only desire is fulfilled.

Think that only happens with playing time deal breakers (had the same happen with my starting QB who took basically every snap).

My issue was he wasn’t my highest rated QB, so in his eyes he was gonna be behind a “better” player next year (which is of course asinine since he already beat him for the position this year). I’ve heard in other instances it just looks at the total number of players, and doesn’t seem to care who’s best, just that you have too many at that position (which of course is also asinine if your guy is the best).

It’s clearly a bug.

I definitely miss the old way of recruiting before they stopped making the game. it was so much simpler to navigate.
