I am a basketball recruiting fanatic. Just having a great recruiting system can turn a dynasty mode from just aight to the greatest (i.e. College Hoops). As I recall you guys have some sort of partnership with Rivals.com. If anything you should ask them to help you guys out with the art of recruiting and the key to getting recruits. But here are a few suggestions I have:
1. Make the High School games and AAU circuit a major part of recruiting. College Hoops has done a great job in this department because High School BB has a great deal to do with College BB. Over the offseason/summer I should be able to play a bunch of AAU games to find the next LeBron, A.I., or Telfair (*cough*). I love being able to play games with a recruit that I'm interested in because it allows me to learn how the play before I get them and I appreciate them more when they choose my school. This is a HUGE part for me because I follow high school recruiting alot. The ability to play the State Championship game would be great too.
2. Edit/Create Recruits: I should be able to edit all recruits or have the ability to create recruits before the season.
3. NCAA Football has a great weekly recruiting system. It should be exactly the same in NCAA Basketball. I love the whole time limit recruiting system.
4. There should be a News Section just for recruiting and how players are performing. Stats, Awards, State Championships, etc.
5. Make the McDonald's All-American game into an event.
6. The recruiting process starts BEFORE a player's senior year of high school. I should be recruiting kids from 9th grade on. There should be some sort of HYPE/BUZZ meter or whatever for every player so that I can see who is billed to be the Next great one. They may or may not live up to the Hype and that would be cool. For the guys who perform they should develop faster and be more willing to leave early.
7. Player rankings should change periodically. Like during the offseason during AAU play, Rivals.com rankings change alot based on performance in the AAU field.
8. Less 5 and 4 stars. There are way more 3-1 star recruits than 4 and 5. In the class of 2008 there were 25 (5 stars) and 75 (4 stars).
9. Give me the option of being Kellen Sampson lol...I'm like Nick Nolte in Blue Chips, win at any cost. I know the NCAA wouldn't approve that be there should be players being suspended for Academic/Team Misconduct.
That's all I got for now. If I think of anything else I'll be back.
