If they went all out on only certain recruits they would stay right with me instead of losing ground each week. unless there are other factors besides bonus and recruiting points.

From what I have read, this is true. Now it might only be the offseason period where they go all out, but I'm not 100% sure.

Interesting... but doesn't on-field performance give you a bit of a bonus as well?

Listen the guy that made the thread wrote he didn't believe that a 5* star recruit ever went to a non-bcs conference school. I just wanted to sprinkle some knowledge.

I believe that if a recruit has a playing time dealbreaker, it makes it too easy for smaller schools to get them. I don't believe it is a glitch, just a flaw with the dealbreaker feature.

I just signed a 5* ATH/WR using ULL. (week 9) first season. All of my other recruits are 3*. I got real exciting when he signed

I'm gonna test it tonight, I'll write down my points for my recruits and the cpu teams and compare the points the next week. That should not only tell how they using their points but also if there are points added for on the field activity.

honestly, i havent even gotten past week 1 yet because im waiting for the rosters to be done before i start a real dynasty. i just thought it was completely unrealistic that georgia state had so many 3 star guys interested from the start of the reason. they are the worst team on the game with no FBS history.
