So...if folks recruit like they did in single player dynasty..they are going to get butchered. If John Doe likes to target all of the top 100 players and sends the house on them, he's gonna lose out on a ton of them because 7 other guys are also immediately looking for the "studs". Recruiting against so many people FORCES you to "pick your battles" in going head to head for the 5 and 4 star guys, while making sure you have enough points left over to land some quality 3 star guys to fill out your class. Otherwise...you'll waste all of your points fighting with 3-4 other guys for that 5 star tailback, get shafted..and be left with no points to recruit guys that normally WOULD come to your school. I'm really against the limiting the regions you recruit in a big dynasty because YOU TAKE AWAY THAT WHICH IS MOST COOL ABOUT RECRUITING THIS YEAR! If We only let Bkrich recruit California because he's USC and I'm Auburn. If we let Skyboxer be the only guy recruiting Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, New York, etc....then you are right back to having 1 or 2 player horde all of the blue chip talent in that area. So again...allowing a "free for all" with every man for himself in any state is a much better way to go IMO because it will force folks to balance out their classes. Also...instead of deliberately not scheduling teams....COME UP WITH SOME SOLID SLIDERS. Spend a few days slider testing and coming up with a set that actually makes you work against the Texas's and Florida's of the world. If I want to schedule Oklahoma..I'm going to. I want to have FUN...not worry about "restrictions". This goes back to your realism vs fun article Jess.

Completely agree with you AuburnAlumni...

in a free for all recruiting market, players will either have to use smart tactics and be smart about how they go after recruits, or chances are they'll get burned more than a few times.
