CPU recruiting assistance is broken

[AbsoluteFury]

So I thought I was going to have a great draft class. Did my first week of recruiting; had 15 players on my board with the option to add/remove players turned off. The scholarship/visit assistance turned on.

I have 10!!! 5 and 4 star players that have me listed first place. So I'm thinking this is going to be a good class. I sim to the first user vs. user game in week 5 and I've dropped off of 1st on 8 out of the 10. Ok. So this isn't necessarily a problem until I look and see how the CPU recruited for me the previous week:

Recruit Rank ............Minutes spent
1 ................................60
2 ................................60
3 ................................60
4 ................................60
5 ................................50
6................................ 50
7 ............................... 30
8 ................................20
9 ................................10
10 ...............................0
11 ...............................0
12 ...............................0
13........................... CMT other school
14 ...........................CMT other school
15 ...........................SIGNED


So not only did the AI fail to even talk to all my recruits; it didn't even use all available minutes. This is with recruiting difficulty on VARSITY. Now, to top it off...the stupid AI put all my recruits on visits in week 13 even when they were in green. So now, even the ones I'm first on the other school will have the first visit and then probably jump me.

you have to do your own recruiting man period even if you takes long so you cant cry and get mad when the cpu does not get any players for you

I would never trust the AI to handle a single facet of my recruiting. Doing the recruiting in between games is just as fun as the games itself IMO. Sometimes I even break it up over a two day period.
