The root of the 'too many good players get unrecruited' problem

But if you have six or eight players in your dynasty and all know this, you'll be fighting over the same players and you'll each get two or three of these guys tops.

The problem is what the CPU cant do compared to users, so obviously replacing the CPU with users would solve the problem lol

I'm going to see what effect that has.

Was the attitude really necessary? Recruiting difficulty was on last year's game & honestly didn't pay attention whether or not it was on this year's game.

Just more to do with how many people have made comments about it still being in the game than you personally.

This is why I go through all the rosters each off-season and edit the incoming freshmen on every major CFB team, so that teams like Alabama aren't getting 56-62 rated freshmen.

I really hope this is fixable. It's hard trying to keep up with the CPU in recruiting. I don't like just recruiting 11 players. I like to spread points around and fill a lot of needs.

I actually recruit exactly like the CPU does in my experience its the only way to get recruits especially when you're a lowly one star with most pitches bottomed out

In addition to this recruiting problem, I feel there's no chance if having an immediate impact freshman (duke,Amari,Stefon diggs). Highest freshman come in at the low 80s and can't get into the rotation of the major schools. To fix this I edit freshman or create recruits with a cap of 86-88 overall. There's always going to be true freshman that can make an impact no matter what school they go to or who's in front of them. The progression I don't really mind, but I hate how the lower level schools progress so high up after multiple years.

The big programs should have more recruiting advantages. Too much is placed on coaching skills. Coach trob could be hired at UF w/o the coaching experience as a bigger name & he would pick up right where muschamp left off. Obviously we have to think realistically and everything can't be perfect but EA (as always) isn't using any common sense. Its as if they didnt test run their own new implementations. The new recruiting system was a step in the right way, but there's still a long way to go. I hope NCAA15 with next gen makes big strides, but I won't hold my breathe.

I don'tknow if iit's just coincidence but my first season in dynasty I've founda lot of 3* gems esp as athletes ranging from 75 all the way up to 79 I feel there is just an over abundance of high rated players
