Unbeliveable 2 star recruit!

[TheShizNo1]

I might have to pay more attention to the guys I recruit then....

[Natedogg]

After 7 games, SMU is 7-0 and C Mc is the frontrunner for the Heisman!

[TheGreat]

I have a 3* RB and a 2* CB. Both 75 and with 95 and 93 speed.
They are my two best skill position recruits and neither one start yet, but they are killing it on special teams.
Im pllaying with FIU and they both have a good chance to be starting end of the year or definitly by next year.
But next year, Im in line to bring in a better recruiting class.
I was top 60 last year.
Im working for top 50 this time.

A 5* CB with "C" coverage skills vs the 3* guy with solid "B" coverage skills....who do you recruit? Did I mention that the 5* has a "B" in tackling but a "D" in play recognition while the other guy has a "B+" in play recognition and a "C" in tackling. That same 5* guy has a "A-" in speed while the 3* has only a "B"......it is between those two............who do you recruit? The 5* who doesnt realize what play is going on until it is too late, thus having to use that speed ot run down the guy after a big gain?..........or the 3* who may be able to cover guys "just well enough" that they don't throw his way even though he does not have great top speed? This is why the game is fun this year. Probably also the reason so many guys are having difficulty with sliders. These tiny ratings mean A LOT!!! You need to build a certain type of team - and recruit guys who fit your system. I usually bash EA, but they did very well with this.

I have to admit, I've been neglecting this. Will definitely pay more attention now. Props.

Yeah, I do all of my recruiting, but I basically just use their ranking # for what I go for.

There are indeed some true gems as you look down the "star" rankings. The great thing about them is that nobody else even offers then scholarships so you can usually get them easily!

Now if there was some way to search for these specific ratings with out looking at every recruit.

Yes, that would be of great benefit, but IMO a little too easy, You should have to "work" to find those hidden gems.

Categories that I really look for are, Awareness of course, but also on offense
carry, catch in traffic, Injury(very important this year), route running and throwing accuracy. On defense, play recognition, pursuit, power shed, man coverage are what I really focus on.
