Recruiting Thoughts

Hockey,

Did you make Nickol a WR? I changed him into one pre-season, but he was only rated like a 64, so I kept him as a QB.

I feel like Im over spending on him but I cant bear the thought of losing out on a RB I want to add right now to a MAC school, even if he seems to be their top priority.

So does the priority list make a difference? You mentioned that CMU had that running back as their top priority which made it more difficult for you to recruit him...sounds like the way you prioritize makes a major difference.

In the past i've always just automatically put any 5* or highly ranked 4* guy on my board without paying much attention to where im ranked in his top 10. Sounds like you might have to pay attention to that this year. someone posted somewhere on here that they simmed to 2015 and every QB on GT had a 75+ speed

It all depends on the recruit, some will have wide pt margins that make it impossible to move up that much while others will be very slim

Thank you OP for all the information and feedback!

I'm loving all of it, recruiting sounds great and difficult. I'm going to set it at heisman.

Yea I did alot of editing with the Michigan State roster, I edited in a few guys changed some people around and edited attributes up and down when needed, OVR stayed the same and defense ended up going down a point I think. But I took one of the FR and made Nichol out of that editing everything. I switched Kyle Nichol (QB) to Andrew Maxwell and lowered the speed. Both Lines needed alot of work, EA just invented a DT to be 1st string.

I dont think its where they are on the board so much as just who they choose to spend their time on, I ended up losing out on that RB, that kinda pissed me off but good get for CMU

Mich St- Are you talking DT number 70? He does look made up, but I found the rest of the DT's to be correct

So would I be correct in assuming that board order is now just about organizing your prospects, and the effectiveness of the calls(points gained or taken away from other teams) is all that matters.
