game gets harder when recruits are visiting?

i am in my third full season of dynasty play and feel like i simply CAN NOT win when i have a fair number of recruits visiting... i'm talking home games that I *should* have won, not necessarily blowouts but teams that I am rated evenly or slightly better than... i had one close game in this situation and got POUNDED in the rest, we're talking woodshed beatings where I could barely muster one decent drive a quarter only to get picked in the red zone, meanwhile the CPU marches down effortlessly as if they are taunting my offensive inability... i can give you the stats if you want, I'm UCLA and my most recent debacle was a 58-27 loss to Cal... I can maybe understand Forsett busting out and having a huge game but they were 2-4 going in!!! before that I lost like 41-10 to Notre Dame who was 1-4!!! and that's WITH claussen having a bad game!!! AHH THIS GAME MAKES ME WANT TO PUT MY HEAD THROUGH A WALL!!!

Re: game gets harder when recruits are visiting?

I have no idea if theres any truth to this, but by the sounds of it, that sounds very cool. Although it sucks to lose when you have important recruits coming, you have to admit its very realistic. Picture NCAA Head Coaches when they know they have 3 5 star recruits sitting in the seats right behind them watching the teams every move.

I think you're just putting more pressure on yourself because they are visiting.

Yeah, I don't have a problem. I think I'm like 5-1 when I have recruits visiting.

Yea I am doing fine when they visit, maybe your having them visit when you are playing better teams, because I know I always invite my recruits to big games.

I play on All-American and I have won all of the games that recruits have been visiting on.

Re: game gets harder when recruits are visiting?

After my first game in year 2, I have several blue chip prospects ready to visit. I will wait a week to bring them in since I got Tennessee at Southern Miss week 2. I beat them in year 1 in Double OT and don't want to risk a loss. I beat Clemson in the first game. Can't believe they came to Southern Miss. BTW, I loss the BCS NC in year 1 against Michigan.
