4 and 5 star recruits appearing out of no-where 2 weeks befoer signing day?

rado i agree with you, but i think the issue is that players who didn't even exhist all of sudden appear not that say a 2 star player randomly jumps up to a 4 or 5 star player.

Its like they want to make recruiting even easier and as it is I just let the cpu recruit for me because it already is to easy. Then on top of that they are making it easier yet for people by letting them by pipeline states. I am starting to think they are making this game for 4 year olds.

Agreed. It would be completely realistic and a great feature if the players were one, two, or three star guys who had a great senior year and went up the rankings. But a completely new guy? Come on now...

Instead, they should make more recruits hold out until National Signing Day. In most of my dynasties, I have most of my recruiting done before the offseason. Many of my recruits committed way too early. I only had maybe two or three left at signing day. There should be are always about a third of the talented players left by the offseason who haven't committed. This would make dynasty much more realistic, imo.

I am not entirely sure how the HS system works in the US, but is it possible for a Jr in HS to finish his credits in the summer, thus be eligible to graduate a year earlier?

The idea would be a good OPTION to have in the game, not mandatory. It is odd that EA has forced some of these features on the users rather than allow them to be picked and chosen.

It's like if Rock Band had only one mode (Easy). The game would get old really quick for top tier players.

I think they kept a few 4 and 5* recruits out of the in-season recruiting and added a few to the off season recruiting. I think they are available right at the beginning of the off season recruiting. I thought they said this was supposed to emulate an unknown kid that explodes out of nowhere in his final season. I'm sure some prospects grades change over the course of the season and that isn't reflected in the game but would probably be too hard. So they chose this avenue to add a few late bloomers. I don't think it's a big deal and actually like it.
