Questionable recruiting

[utvol0427]

One way to do it is to take the dynasty offline and then go to recruiting and unlock the different pitches for the recruits you are targeting. That way, you can see which pitches they have high, very high, or most interest in and you don't waste your minutes in the actual dynasty. It is impossible to catch people doing this. I don't know if it works on this years game, but last year after a player visited, you could remove them from the your board and then add them back and it would allow you to schedule another visit. This one is easy to catch if you pay attention to who the other people are recruiting. Had to boot a couple of people out of dynastirs last year because of it.

This isn't impossible to catch. I know at least 1 of my OD commishes checks for this (and in '09 he banned at least 1 guy for doing this). The Commish can take it offline and look at everyone's recruiting. If they have a good mix of low/avg/high/etc then they're likely legit. If the vast majority of their pitches (especially if it's all of their pitches) are high/very high/most, then it's extremely likely that they're cheating.

Good point 1717, I never thought about doing that.

Some people get lucky though.
And I'd hate it if a commish looked at my recruiting board since I usually recruit sleepers that no one else is recruiting and I'm not that good of a recruiter so I wouldn't want people to steal my recruits lol.
