    Recruiting

    Anyone know what makes a kid commit? I was leading for a 5 star by a lot than out of the blue, he committed to another school. Just trying to figure what sets the commitment. Thanks

    Not helpful to your situation. Just curious how the overall dynasty experience?

      Re: Recruiting

      It's not as good as I was hoping it would be. Everything seems like it takes forever to get completed. I simmed just to see the results and my team won a total of 2 games. Recruiting I don't see a planned path that makes sense. High hopes going in even with realistic expectations but still a let down for me.

        I heard this game is terrible. The sim doesn't use the player's ratings. It seems to randomly let any team win.

          There was a content update in November that improved the sim engine. We've implemented a brand new sim engine for 2020 that improves the simulation speed week to week.

            I had this issue too. I was in year 3, 5 stars actually took my calls. I was leading for like 5 5-4 stars, by a lot. Then, one week they all committed to other schools. I guess they do not commit till week 10(?) then it is whoever is above the commit number and the first to recruit I guess. Like the top 30 players committed during the sim between week 9 and 10 (?).

              The game is ok. I found just using it as a sim dynasty was fun. It is great that 5 stars will not take calls of lower schools, and there are tons of pitches. It is fun. There are issues, but it is an Indie game and if you go in and expect a NCAA AAA game, you will be disappointed. Tons of launch issues are fixed. Overall it is fun and I will be getting 2020.

                I think around week 8 you will start to see more commitments.

                  Ok, not sure what week it was. Do you know what causes them to commit? Like I was leading on multiple 5 star players, but they committed before I had a chance to recruit them week 8?

                  Also, will you be changing the depth chart in 2020?

                    Depth chart will be changed for 2020.

                    It's a combination of recruit's interest in the individual pitches and your team's success in the current season too. It's hard to analyze without seeing more.
