Possible exploit in dynasty recruiting?

[goalieump413]

I don't think it's the quantity of players on offense or defense that will be the result of this exploit. It's the quality.

Over several years of recruiting exploitation, your potential recruiting power could lure higher caliber offensive players. You might commit a handful of 3 star guys who would be more apt to fill in, play special teams etc, but your coaching prestige makes your program a more attractive place for 4 and 5 star recruits, so the quality of play increases faster than if you spread your recruiting time more evenly.

You still fill in needs on defense, but with 2 star talent. Afterall, it doesn't take much effort to sign 2 star players right away, regardless if your program is only a 2 star school.

I'm not 100% certain but I think you always control all recruiting so you can't just recruit half the time and let the cpu do the rest

Actually the CPU will do it. You've never actually had to recruit, the CPU will handle phone calls and scholarships on it's own if you let it. How well it does it is another topic. So if you want to only deal with recruiting offensive players, it shouldn't be an issue. And the time you use will take away from what the CPU has to work with.

I would just pick out maybe 7-8 players on my side and spend around 5 hours on them a week. I'll then let CPU allocate the remaining 5 hours where it wants. I will have to set up the recruiting board though, there's no need for 35 players to be on the board.

Is it confirmed that OC and DC have goals that include amount of games won?

That would be the only way this can be exploited if they didn't and only the head coach had goals dealing with specific amount of games being won.

Okay, I knew you could let the CPU recruit for you, but I figured if you started making calls then the time you didn't use would go to waste. I never let the CPU recruit for me in the past because they were awful at it, but you have an interesting idea that I might try out
