Recruiting looks great!

Yes! It sounds like they've made recruiting more difficult for the mid and lower tier schools because each school will also be graded in specific categories (academic prestige, fan base, championship contender, pro factory). Obviously, not all schools will be graded the same... and we'll have to hope that what our school is good at matches what the recruits are looking for.

I could play dynasty without playing a game. Recruiting is incredibly important.

I can do this too for some time, but then I just get too tempted to play with my new recruits that I start playing the game myself.

it seems that there r 85 man rosters in the game since when u saw the screen at the end, the top recruiting classes all signed almost 25 players. I really think with the integrity bar this year teams wouldn't oversign and cut players.

Only concern I had was that some of the top teams signed some 1 star players. All the players in the top 10 recruiting classes should be 2 star or higher.

The 1-star guys could've been kickers/punters/fullbacks

Same here...I enjoyed the franchise-mode so much in Madden'07 (PS2) that all I did was sim the games and focus on team developement...

Looks like NCAA'08 will have enough depth for me to do the same thing; hopefully the gameplay will be irresistably good too.

I think that if they upped the rosters to 85 that would be one of the first things they mentioned about the new and improved Dynasty mode, but we'll see.

The high number of one-star players signing with high prestige teams was a bit strange, but it probably work out o.k. in that it can simulate the number of two and three stars players that end up being total busts in real life.

If there really are 85 man rosters, then you probably will see a number of 1 and 2 star guys on every team's roster. If every player was a 3 or above, there is no way you could ever keep them happy. On an 85 man roster, there will probably be 2 or 3 one star guys on the top teams every year.
