To be fair, they didn't really add anything new. They just changed the way what was there works/is displayed.Yankees | Titans | Huskers | Kings

Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog: 1 of 3 - Phone Call
One thing that I would like to see added to this is that depending on your staffs recruiting abilities, you should get an "estimate" of how the recruit truly views your school and the competition. Example, If my staff is good at recruiting should get like a point estimate like 150-160 or something. and if I was a bad recruiter, I would get like 100-180 or something.Comment

I don't like the point system. It's unrealistic. I'll agree with the guy that said it should look something like rivals where it lists high, medium, low interest. The points are completely unnecessary as it really is about the same as it is now. Seems to me like they wasted time doing it.
Second, I think it is evident that recruiting logic has not been fixed based on that recruit's list. Florida? Michigan? Notre Dame (now)? These guys wouldn't recruit a fullback for anything. It doesn't fit their system. Oh but wait... he was a 5 star fullback!
Georgia Tech's flexbone offense ran by a slow, pocket passer quarterback, here we come!!Comment

So your telling me that coaches don't know where a kid is leaning to ....? That's not true most prospects are leaning to a school and everybody knows it including the scouting services.
There are a handful of recruits each year that its a surprise as to what schools they like the best.
I don't mind the point system as long as it allows for some surprises.Comment

You know how many people would be pissed if all the pitches and recruiting you did had no impact on the recruits and they just went to random places even if it wasn't one of the higher interest places throughout. Yes that happens in real life but you cant always put a human element into a video game. Like someone else said, in real life you dont have a meter that fills letting you know where a recruit is leaning but we've had that in for years and people have been ok with it. Now there is just numbers attached to it.
If everyone was just low, medium, high interest then you wouldnt be able to tell where a player is leaning. And in real life the recruits get interviewed by different services to get a feel of where they're leaning and coaches talk to the players to get a sense of where they're leaning but since you cant actually talk to a recruit in the game and have a real conversation to get a sense of where they're leaning, they put a meter with numbers to convey that.
Sometimes you guys need to remember that its a video game, not real life, you need to be able to seperate yourself between the two. As much as we want this to be as real as possible its still a game.Comment

or they put the 1st blog out on recruiting because so many people have been talking about wanting something different about recruiting or a new wrinkle to it and so they put this blog out to give those people the info on recruiting and now it seems all those people are complaining.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog: 1 of 3 - Phone Call
i jsut wish there was an option for old school recruiting. This new in-season recruiting might be more realistic, but it takes up massive amounts of time and ruins the continuity of seasons.
I havent done a franchise beyond year two the entire next-gen cycleComment

Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog: 1 of 3 - Phone Call
I'm totally with you! In fact I mentioned that having a number attached to the interest bar really isn't that big of a deal to me. I hope your aren't lumping me into the "you guys" wagon because I'm loving what ea has done for the game this year and don't think I have complained really about anything. I guess that was my way of getting people to realize that if you didn't like the this one there are still two blogs to go so don't get so down about this first one.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog: 1 of 3 - Phone Call
i agree that for those who arent into the whole recruiting thing it can be tedious, they should have a way to speed the process.
i'm not mentioning anyone specific i'm just saying for a long time ive seen people asking for something different about recruiting and now they talk about recruiting and from a lot of people i'm just seeing complaining now. If you're not one of those people complaining then i'm not talking about you. But people that keep complaining about the fact that there is a number now, i mean EA can never get it right because people are always going to complain.Comment

It's not "complaining" people are just giving their feedback which for the thousandth time is exactly what this board is for and is exactly what the devs are looking for as well. stop complaining about the complainers because they're really not complainers at all.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog: 1 of 3 - Phone Call
for real, the only things i do in recruiting are set up the board and offer when the cpu hasn't, i let the cpu handle the calls and pitches and all that other b.s. this blog hasn't swayed me back to recruiting myself. classic would be nice and neater- hc call, ac call, in home visit, or campus visit, or all of the above. i enjoyed recruiting a lot more when it wasn't so tedious.Comment
