I know it probably doesn't matter much gameplay wise (recruit size).

But why can't they generate recruits who actually fit their position. I have 3, 4* DE committed in week 6. These guys are, and I kid you not, 6'5 206, 5'10 324, and 6'3 210.

Sorry, but this isn't simulation. Nobody of that size would ever be a decent college DE. Likewise, in another dynasty, I saw a 5 star receiver who was 5'11 240. Really? C'mon. Is there a fix for this?

Re: I know it probably doesn't matter much gameplay wise (recruit size).

yeah the DL sizes are off (though your last one could be a OLB in a 3-4 and a DE in high school) esp since their is no weight change throughout the dynasty. i honesty have put under 200 pound FSs as MLBs and OLBs when i cant get decent recruits there and they receive a rating increase...i dont really worry about their weight since the game doesnt factor that in

Re: I know it probably doesn't matter much gameplay wise (recruit size).

they really need to allow for either change to height and weight or have a weight progression system. Back when I played in college I knew of a tackle that came in at 240 and graduated at 290. Likewise, a couple of D-lineman put on 30-40 lbs of muscle in their 4 years. This was at division 2. In division 1, where the weight training programs are no doubt more strenuous, I can imagine bulking up dramatically and this needs to be incorporated.

Re: I know it probably doesn't matter much gameplay wise (recruit size).

you gotta post a pic with that 5'10" 324 lb DE with the rest of the defesnive line it would look extremely odd. i usually cant find DTs that size which is so annoying

Those DE sizes don't sound too bad, it's just a matter of they're attributes matching their sizes

I love 5'9 185 "power" HBs

Or 6'4 280 TE with B- catch ratings being a blocker.

It sure beats the old school glitch of recruiting a player who was seriously 0'9 and would be like tom thumb out on the field.

I recruited a 5 star ATH who was 6'5 170lbs. I thought he'd be a WR. Turns out he can't catch, and will have to play CB since he seems to excel in Zone and man coverage

The most annoying one is the 5'9 250 MLBs. Or the 6'4 162 5* WR's.

is there really no weight gain during dynasty? i'm only in the 2nd year of online dynasty.. haven't done an offline one. I was hoping that one of these 6'7 240 DEs would end up graduating at around ~260. I thought I remember there being at least a little bit of weight gain in past versions, no?

More common sense programming that has failed to make its way into the NCAA series. Let's get it done Tiburon...

Re: I know it probably doesn't matter much gameplay wise (recruit size).

I wouldn't mind it so much if the players grew into their frame or could be moved to a more logical position without their OVR dropping to 40. Since it doesn't affect gameplay and only aesthetics you could max out the player's build sliders to make him look a lot bigger than he is and pretend the weight was never updated on the roster.

Except it SHOULD affect gameplay.

Yep just opened up dynasty for fun to mess around with some things and saw that the #3 HB in the nation was 6'6 231. He has B- Speed, A acceleration, and D+ agility with a B+ in trucking and a B+ stiffarm.

6'6 231 is quite a specimen. It's a shame he isn't interested or I'd play this out long enough to grab him and see how he plays.

The fact that players don't gain weight is kind of annoying. They used to have that feature I guess they figured it didn't really affect the game so they dropped it.

There's a player in my dynasty a freshman QB 5'11' 239
