Try unintentionally having 3 scrambling QBs on your depth chart who are all 88 at speed, 90 at acceleration, and have the same face. I manually edit them to fix the faces but they're all basically the same player just with different overalls due to the "awareness" rating.

Point being, would be cool if that stuff actually did matter on some level.

This is a good point - today I was recruiting a 5-star Free Safety who had no low interest in National Championship, low interest in Academic Prestige..so he's a guy who's probably not very smart and doesn't care about winning. Coach Experience was low, Program Prestige was LEAST, Pro Potential was very low, TV exposure was average..Athletic Facilities was MOST for him..so he's not interested in playing for a national championship and not interested in the NFL, but he IS interested in having up-to-date facilities to work out in? Umm..okay..

Bring back the high school stats and awards. Especially useful for Athletes and skill position players to know what kind of player they are.

Stop taking offense it was just an example... but if you were hiring a doctor would you be intrigued by the degree from Michigan or Memphis? Memphis may be a great school (most schools specialize in something) but Michigan's medical program "rings bells" around the country, I'm just saying. A degree from any university is impressive but if they are worried about education they will (should) look at all the A+ education prestige schools first.

i think they should make a new prosect rating in Discipline so like the higher the rating the higher the chance they have of getting suspended or kicked off team(randy moss going to marshall instead of fsu)

also every once in a while there should be a amazing player on a sucking team because of their gpa which could also be another pitch(more later) but dont know if this applies to this guy but like drc went to tennessee st

GPA pitch: rates your school on thoughness of requirements, so like if your allowing these 5* players into your school with gpa's of 2.4 2.7 then your grade would drop to like a C and if you keep in up and your teams average keeps getting lower( lets say texas has team average of 3.8 and then you recruit 6 5* players all with 2.3 gpa maybe inn brings down that 3.8 A- rated GPA to a B+ rated 3.5 or something like that.

Agree...I would definitely like to see GPA re-incorporated back into dynasty mode. If for nothing else, just to make Academic Prestige have some sort of cause and effect rather than just be random.
