This happened with all three players that locked me out.. Some committed. To other schools stool but they all unlocked after having me locked down by 2-6000 points.

Every single player I have had that committed elsewhere and I had a visit set up with for the next week is totally off the board. It will even show in the visit screen that the player is already committed.

I think the OP must be referring to players that have "locked" their top schools rather than a commit. As the previous poster said, a truly committed player won't visit.

I'd need to see a series of screenshots to buy this. It has to be a "locked out" thing.

Nah not really. . .EA even mentioned it in one of their playbook things before the game came out...I don't know why this is such a shock.

Well, I still need to see proof of it. I've simmed 9 seasons without a single one of my or my brother's players (who plays dynasty with me as a separate coach) decommitting after committing the first time. So, if they were aiming for a realistic feature it failed tremendously. If it happens, it seems like such a rarity that hardly anyone is noticing it. As others have said, when a player commits their visit screen shows them as committed and they don't seem to even take additional visits.

I don't remember EA talking about decommits in any playbook. I only remember articles like the one someone posted earlier where decommits were brought up in the conversations with the WVU coaches. Where and in what playbook are decommits discussed?

Pretty cool unless you are UGA. I hate this part of the real process. USF has had two high level decommits in the past two years. Grrrrrr. Thanks ACC for destroying the Big East.

The number one dual threat QB who won the Elite 11 MVP, Asantii Woulard, decommited TWICE. This year there was another high level decommit, he did it over night because his brother talked it out of him. Geez.

I with they had descipline and NCAA violations which won't happen now that the NCAA has pulled out.
