NCAA Football 10: The Art of Recruiting Part I

[RaychelSnr]

Hellisan of Tradition Football here; today I’d like to present a bit of NCAA 10 recruiting strategy for those involved in a competitive online dynasty. I'm in a league with 12 members known as Tradition 1 - the inaugural league in Tradition Football. When it comes to recruiting I think we have a league of experts. We are a league comprised of 25-45 year old professionals so we’re not exactly expert gamers, but we are expert recruiters. It becomes very challenging to get good players in a scenario like this. In this article I’ll outline some of the things to keep in mind that will help you put up a good class.

I read your list and most of the things you said made sense and are basically what ive been doing for the last 2 or 3 versions of NCAA. However this "If you don’t keep your board pared down like this it’s very hard to be competitive on the “must have” players."
isnt really true at all, i usually keep my board around 20-25 maybe more and i do pretty good in OD's, but again you guys are the
"experts"

Doesn't really help much, sorry. Should give some tips on how to get players that you're in battles with other users. I usually send 2.5 hours on people I'm in with competitions in (usually REALLY good players) but somehow they still get more interested in the other user. I would like to know why?

Heh. The interwebs sure do have a lot of haters!

[RynoAid]

at Tradition Football we play the game all year... from launch to launch, so if your diehard like us, you got about 5 more seasons to utilize this info in an online dynasty... but if your just waiting for '11... yea, this ain't gonna help you much.

I mean this in all seriousness because I am curious about this aspect of the game.

Its been shown numerous times, time and time again, that the majority of ratings do not matter in the least bit.

An Ovr 65 OL can hold off a Over 99 DL over 99% of the time. It doesnt matter who you have on your offensive line. Same goes for pretty much every other position that doesnt rely on speed as its main attribute. You can recruit LBs and CBs that have an awareness of 99, but they will still leave every slant and hook pattern open.

Pretty much you only need to look at a QBs accuracy if you want a passer, RB you look for speed, and WR you look for speed. The rest of the offense and defense can have 100 ratings across the board minus the speed and they are ineffective.

What is the main purpose in recruiting, if nothing but speed matters?

Imo, its nothing more than a placebo effect taking place and people trying to put together soemthing that is there...when it really isnt.

I am interested in your take on this subject, as its clear you have spent alot of time putting this together.
