I like a lot of your ideas especially this one. Well, for me, one thing I'm taking a look at is re-designating what makes a 2-star... It seems the class of 3-star players is HUGE and 2-star players is tiny. I wanted to recruit 2-star players primarily, but sometimes there's just nothing there. So I'm trying to find a full list of real life players to see approx. where the 2-star/3-star line is drawn.

I've noticed the same thing with there being a massive amount of 3* players, so I've quit focusing on stars. Instead, I go by what they're position ranking is.

For example, with a 1* school I can only recruit players who are ranked #150 at their position and lower. With this you'll probably get some 3* receivers, maybe a running back, but probably have trouble finding a great QB. And as my school gets better I can recruit better players.

It's also nice to create positional requirements for the system you run. Say you run a triple option offense; you can't recruit any offensive linemen who weigh over 280 lbs. Or you run the Air Raid and you can only sign a QB if his pre-scouted accuracy rating was a "B" or better. Just little things.

What i do is usually watch the plays, the super sim is crappy at times so i can never rely on it. Only time i super sim is on Punts and Kickoffs though

Pocket Scout, do you use the same regional prestige limitation as you do with interest (can only be 1 higher than team prestige)?

Would you suggest using these 'house rules' even if it's someones first time playing an NCAA game? Should I play a few seasons on Dynasty with no restrictions to learn and then create a new one that's more strict?

Def like the sim a year then c whats out there...specially since its 2014 now and I hate that I have to start at 2013! glad I read this! I like to do MLB, Madden and NCAA all franchises in the same city so this might help me decide on one!

the one visit rule is tough, but it doesnt hurt recruiting as much since you should have a pretty size-able lead on most prospects. I love the no scouting option, my 2nd yr as New Mexico St HC i signed 5 busts!! Lol needless to say I ended getting canned, but their recruiting class shall stink lol

Instead of restarting, you could just sim to the end of the current season of your dynasty and create your new coach then.
