The way I understood the feature is not that you downplay the other schools but rather that you downplay the importance of a certain pitch that another school might be better at than you to lower the importance of that pitch for the recruit. Pretty much he same way you would for a pitch that your school has a low rating in but that your target values highly. Basically, I think the downplay option is a new name for swaying down pitches that was already in the game.
Not so. I thought the same thing and said so in the other thread, but OMT responded otherwise:
