Patch increased recruiting difficulty?

Ever since the patch came out I started a new dynasty and I've found that recruiting is much much tougher. Players seem to lose patience much faster and will hang up on you at the drop of a hat it seems. Just an unlucky week of recruiting or have they tuned it?

that was one of the "recruiting exploits." Hard selling a certain pitch to get them to stay on the phone forever. They now get impatient quickly.

Do we know the other "exploits" (if any) that were fixed?

You could schedule multiple visits with the same recruit.

That's interesting. I didn't know that was an exploit. It behaved the exact same way in '08. In there when I only had 1 more guy to sign, I would pitch him stuff for the entire 10 hours with no problem. I guess it was an exploit in '08 as well that they never identified.

Learned that lesson the hard way....

Was going to spend 4 to 5 hours one key recruit that i was second with, only to get kicked off the phone after an hour.

Never has happened before, going to need to test it out.

Definitely a game changer since you no longer will be able to overcome a lead for some recruits.

Good for big schools bad for little schools.

I wasn't aware it was an exploit either, but hey, I'm glad they fixed it.
