recruiting has so much more potential

The 10 hour system is a chore. It is not something that overall makes the game better.

No, I think some of you guys missed the point. The 10 hour system is a chore, just like you said, but it's not fast. You contradicted yourself.

My idea is that you make a few choices and it sims the outcome. Much quicker, more choices, more realistic, much more in depth. I mean why do we have to wait for the minutes to count down, it kills me.

Another bad thing about the current recruiting is that going through the list is a pain because the menus are so clunky.

On top of that, does anyone ever get through all 35 recruits with just 10 hours? I mean, I usually only get through the top 12-15 before I run out. It just feels so flawed and fake.

I can get through all 35 with 10 hours.But you only spend like 10 minutes on each. Stupid..

Yea, but is that effective?

I understand what you mean now about your different system.

You are wrong to say that I contradicted myself. Some people like the 10 hour system. They feel that its a good way to go. They will mix simming the hours and talking to prospects. I said they could make a new system thats different and have the players choose which system that would want to use.

I said I did not like the 10 hour system because it is a chore. I dont feel even mixing up simming and calling that it is a good way to go.

Also, I have never been able to talk to more then a handful of recruits. I will at most get 8-14 players in a season. If you check the Team Recruiting Ranking you will see that teams average 20-40 prospects. They need to fix their system to present real life.

It's pretty easy to get 25 prospects, you just can't target the best 25 out there or something. Pick your battles, go after 10-14 guys real hard, and then starting in week 2, pick about 6-10 more guys from the list of players that are interested in you that haven't received an offer from anybody - those guys you can 5-10 minute quick call per week and land them, starting in week 2. Add a couple other really good players toward the middle of the season that no teams have offered a scholarship to and get maybe 3 out of 7-8 of those intereted and add those to the 5-10 minute list, it's really pretty easy. And TBH in a 12-man league where it's competitive and fun, I really like the current setup. The 10 hours go by WAY faster than I'd like actually, hah.

I enjoy the current system. During the regular season it's all about coaches working the phones and building relationships with players. I think that the current system reflects that and does a good job.

the only time i feel like 10 hours isnt enough is when i miss manage my board. and put too many guys on who arent intrested in my school. or if i go after too many 5 star prospects who are holding at least 4 or 5 other offers. If i fill my board with 35 prospects who have me in their top 5 and top 10 i am def. going to sign at least 20 prospects.

I like the current system because it is simple but at the same time there is enough to it; to seperate good recruiters from bad ones.
