Hopefully we get Dynasty Blog 3 of 3 today, but I am not holding my breath as I doubt we'll get any information of the game this week, as we got 2 Dynasty Blogs last week.

And yeah, at the end of Blog 2, they said that they would elaborate on the information in Blogs 1 and 2 in blog 3, which made me believe very strongly that they failed to put in a coaching carousel or an AD Mode yet again this year.

I choose I don't care. I feel overall recruiting has been improved this year. This isn't a big deal deal to me though, I'll be able to enjoy recruiting with it on or with it off.

I don't see the big deal here. There's has always been a meter without points assigned that you could view so what's the difference? Besides, if it's that big of a deal to you, I believe you don't have to enter that screen.

In the end all that matters to me is that recruiting is implemented correctly and the computer A.I. is strong so that they have the ability to come back from behind.

The meter was a lot more ambiguous. Showing points is too transparent.

I don't think Nick Saban sits in his office doing mathematics to try to figure out what a player thinks about him and his school.

I could excuse having "points" to try to figure out how hard you go after a certain player because this can be related to time/minutes spent recruiting a player. But points as a basis of a recruit's intent is taking things a little too far.

I think we need to hear finer details of how this works before we get up in arms. It could be that, according to your coach's recruiting skill or your relationship with the player or something, you could have a more (or less) accurate view of your point standing with a player. It could be that leading for a prospect in points doesn't guarantee that he picks you on Signing Day. There could still be a lot of things that would make the points more palatable. I think we need more information to make that determination.

This. Or wait for the game to actually come out before pleading for the removal of something none of us has had an opportunity to work with first hand.

Do not care.
