I was more asking if you scouted them.

And I didn't think about Gems causing them to raise higher.
I only tested with 20 or so the other day. But in all my regular recruiting 81 has been the max I have seen personally. But I have never been with a 6* program. I wonder if your coach/program can affect them when scouting, to raise their ratings/potential?

Kinda dumb though if that's the max. Every once in a great while there should be up to a 85 for those once in a lifetime players

I agree with this completely. On NCAA 09 for PS2 there used to be some recruits who would be as high as 88-90 overall, instant program changers.

I always scout. especially with the new recruiting. Can't afford to waste more than 50 points if the guy is a bum. My brother on the other hand never scouts.


Seems like once in a while they create an 83 overall player that is not a kicker or punter lol.


Part 2: Does anyone else feel like that too low? I'm not saying every 5* should be a 85 overall. But it would be nice to get some bigtime program changers coming along every few years.

2 Recent Guys that I would have given at least an 85 rating to as freshman
Sammy Watkins
Marcus Lattimore


***2 post higher beat me to it. With the cap at 81. I have no problem avoiding a recruiting battle to land a 77/78 overall instead. But if that prospect was 85/86 ovr then to settle for a 77/78 could be a huge mistake.

I kinda like the cap. Because an 81 ovr will be close to 90, or in the low 90's as a junior, or possibly up to 95 with a redshirt. So those guys will always be close to if not 99 as seniors. (figuring on +4/+5 each season)

And if you are a small to mid major program an 81 recruit in my eyes is a program changer. Because he will be starting as a freshman.

Ya don't get me wrong i like that they limit how many high rates recruits there are but it would be cool like I said to get a Percy Harvin type freshmen everyone in a great while.

I get a bunch of fast WRs like that. In fact, I just picked up an 81 OVR freshman WR with 97 speed. I'd say that's a Percy Harvin type. How high would you have rated Harvin as a freshman?

I think even EA only gave a freshman Bo Jackson an 85

Would you have given Adrian Peterson an 85 ovr as a freshman? He was absolutely dominant.
