    not sure. i know this was broken last year though. you had to have the guy as #1 on the depth chart to keep the promise.

      Some of the initial promises are bogus....conference championship first year? freshman all-american? i mean if you're using OU, USC, Texas, etc.. then yea but for lowly C-USA teams or 2nd rate Big 12 teams, that's far out there. the only real one that looks real is "playing time" but like you said, you pretty much have to start them at #1 on the chart even if you're returning a 3 year starter at that position just to keep the dumb freshman happy.

      dirtycashdylan...is that a SMU pic? Pony up!

        last year was terrible. i had a freshman that i played in the slot (#3 WR on depth chart). i also used him on kick and punt returns. he led my team in all rec. stats. at the end of the season i got hit for breaking my promise for substantial playing time...

            Actually I think it's the other way around. Promising frosh All American in the C-USA is a better idea than to do it at Texas or OU. Less talent in the C-USA where a frosh should have a better season number wise. Plus you could start them without losing the risk of transfers, which would happen at a talent filled school in a BCS conference.

                  You have to make them a starter. I don't think it matters how much they actually play. I promised playing time (this is on NCAA 09 but I doubt they've changed it) to a CB and made him my CB3 and he got 50 tackles as a freshman, it broke the promise. But every time I have made someone a starter it has fulfilled the promise regardless of their stats.

                    Thats why i just dont make promises, its one of those things i dont need so i dont use it. I can bring in recruits just fine without making promises.

                      You don't have to start him to get the substantial playing time promise fulfilled. I've had a cornerback who was third on the depth chart. Just by playing the dime defense on most 3rd down's in the season, and about two spread offense opponents (so playing dime almost the whole game), I was able to fulfill the promise.

                        If that's true, then maybe things have changed in NCAA 10, because that didn't work for me in NCAA 09.
