      For some reason, I'm optimistic about the fact that they are showing a FB. They NEVER EVER had enough FBs in the past. Probably doesn't mean anything, but I'll keep on dreamin

        It definitely looks like it could be more time consuming. I cannot see how this would be any faster unless the menus were sped up to go along with it.

        The thing is, there are never very many fullbacks in real life. There are definitely no 5 star fullbacks. The college game has evolved to the point where they are largely unnecessary in many offenses. If EA would just change the requirement, we could stop worrying about having to recruit one. Heck, I don't now. I just recruit enough TEs to change one to a fullback because I won't ever use one.

          correct, but you have the option to bypass a specific pitch up to 3 times per 1 hour call.. also, the system will randomly allow you to choose the topic once in awhile.

              A 5* fullback isn't that unrealistic. There are a number of 4* fullbacks recruited every year. I understand 5* is meant to be the pinnacle and only the top 50ish people in a recruiting class get this rating. Granted a lot of fullbacks in college were RBs / LBs in high school then recruited and moved to FB, but I don't think EA can assume their entire user base is savvy enough to do this every time they need a new FB.

              I've played in the past with teams that use a FB heavily and it has been rough because you end up stuck with a 2* FB, and no other positions moved well to FB, either it was an RB with no blocking skills or a TE with no running skills. I'd rather have a few overly good FB's than none at all, although ideally there should be more larger RBs that can convert to FB with some blocking skills (hopefully locomotion will make this happen), rather than finding 250 lb RBs with 96 speed an no blocking.

                  correct, especially with the comparison recruiting feature...

                  for example...

                  lets say your #1 on a 5* stud HB everybody wants... You pump in as much time as you can (1 hour) and gain 400-600 points (average call). Well, the other 3 schools behind you are comparison recruiting against your school specifically because your at #1. Let's say each one of them racks up 75 negative points for you while compiling 200-400 positive points for themselves (you take a hit in total positive points you can get when you comparison recruite as oppose to a straight pitch).

                  After 3 guys do this.. your 400 points turns into 75 points... while all the other teams are catching up with their 200 point gains and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

                  Also, i've seen 1 hour phone straight pitches get as little as 250 points or as much as 900 points.. all depending on several different factors.

                  So just because you see that your ahead in points, it doesn't mean your going to stay ahead or that you can even calculate what you need to do to keep your lead... you just have to do the best recruiting you can and hope the chips fall your way.

                    Yawn. Big deal, I don't see how this makes the phone calls faster and also don't see this being different enough from last years to make it fresh.

                      from experience using the system, it's TOTALLY different than previous versions. In fact it took me a good 2 hours to just figure out the basics of what i could do and how to begin to try to use it effectively.

                          recruiting is about the sim aspect of the game, if guys don't want to take the time to enjoy the recruiting parts there is still the option to have the CPU handle your recruiting for you.

                          i never understood the arguement... guys want to be in control of recruiting but yet they don't want to take the time to recruit and enjoy that aspect of the dynasty...

                              You know, EA could make recruiting and dynasty perfect. But if they don't increase roster sizes to 85 then it just doesn't matter. This is my deal breaker. I have to leave out guys lower on the depth chart/some freshmen to get my numbers down to 70. So, by year 2 or 3 of dynasty my team resembles nothing of what it should possibly look like in real life.

                                So much for recruiting taking less time....

                                I like recruiting but the truth is it becomes repetitive after a few seasons of dynasty. People don't mind 10 minutes of repetition but once recruiting takes longer than a game people begin to get frustrated.

                                Doesn't the fact that it takes so long contradict the blogs claim that it makes phone calls faster?
