It will sometimes to goofy stuff to players atributes, but sometimes it will help. A 88 rated WR I changed to a TE became a 93. This is just his overall rating though.

I really like recruiting them just to see what I get. My first year I get a 5 star athlete with crazy stats: 6'5" 240 with good strength and speed and a 4 star speedy guy, 6'1" or 6'2" with really good speed. The bigger guy is an 80 immediately as a FB and a 70 at a lot of other positions, I end up sticking him at FB. The speedy guy becomes a CB. They are both JRs now and starting for me.

My favorite was a 5 star athlete I got the following year. 6'0" <200 with great speed. Turns out he is an 85 DE, so I move him there. Unfortunately he tears his PCL in the first half of his first game as a true freshman. Oh well, he is in his sophomore year now and wrecking havoc with his speed. He gets pushed around a lot, but he is still good for a sack a game and some good run stops.

i got a 2 star athl. that played as a 74 overall Qb not too bad for a 2 star

I would never be able to play a 6'2 200lb player at DE. Way to unrealistic for me.

I get mad when I see a DE under the regular recruiting that is only 215lbs or so. Crazy. I can see 245 or something like that but 200?

Check out the sizes of some DE's on rivals.com...there are actually quite a few of them out there at 215-220 range. The thing is, a lot of these kids add on a lot of weight once they get into the high level strength programs. The problem is, they don't put on much weight in NCAA '07...I think it's like 3-5 lbs/year in most cases.

Does the game even take weight into account or does it just use the strength rating? Surely weight must mean something.

lol, yeah those ATH players always get me but than turn out to exactly what you sai "backup players" but hey sometimes you get a nice one.

Ya, I agree with you RoyceDa59, and jfsolo, I never sem to get the "gem", I always get them, and they play best in a position im already stacked in.

P.S, Love your name RoyceDa59.
