Walk-ons? Seriously?

Just messin'... at first I didn't quite see how the two connected.

Academic prestige isn't something that changes on next-gen (current gen) to my experience.

It stays where it is, like a reputation.

On PS2 I think maybe it fluctuated a little with player discipline issues, but now I'm not even so sure about that, it's been too long since the PS2 days.

Most of the time I do end up cutting those Walk-on/open scholly snatchers, but every now and then I get a superstar. Just recently I got a 5 star WR who obviously had his heart set on playing at Wake Forest.

Last season, I read that recruiting players with low interest in Academic Prestige caused the pitch to drop. If that's not true, it's very unfortunate that I've been going out of my way to only recruit players with Average interest or better.

I thought it could increase if you recruited players with higher awareness.. It should be that way atleast.

I thought that if you recruited too many JUCO players that your academic prestige would get dinged.

I remember back when each prospect had his GPA listed so that you would at least have a reason to expect that you were going to hurt your academic prestige. I guess that's another feature that hasn't carried over to next gen yet.

As Penn State my Academic Prestige went from a B+ to an A+ from the time I started there in 2015, til now in 2020. Not sure how that works, but I'll take it.

Fair enough. I guess I always associated walk ons with the guys that show up on the roster with no stars not recruits that commit before signing day with other scholarship offers.



Anyway Academic prestige progression is random. One of the Devs said it last year.

This has happened to me. My thoery is that if you sign guys that place a high value on Academics then your team rating increases...
