Excellent summary. I would say to the OP that recruiting becomes addicting. Like...
ADDICTING! You play your game... check out the
Top 25, check out the stories, the stats... then you go recruit. Then you finish and you want to play another game so you can go recruit some more.
It is a vicious cycle but it's so fun. Some may not agree. I feel sorry for those that don't like recruiting, because when you take over a
2 or
3 star school and slowly build them up and then suddenly land that
5 star stud who everyone had pegged as going to
Texas... man that feeling is great.
Then you have your bowl games. You may go to a small bowl game but eventually, if you start with a bad team, eventually you work your way up to a
BIG bowl game. And that too is fun.
Dynasty mode in college football is the drug of choice for football junkies!
