I am calling BS as well. I know that is from the devs but what he's SAYING and what I'm SEEING are 2 different things. For example it seems like program stability is directly tied to your win/ loss record each season. For example in both OD's that I'm in when I've had a bad season( 4 or 5 losses) my program stability went down every time whether my team prestige changed or not and now that I'm starting to win (no less than 2 losses the last few season) my program stability is coming back up. This is 2 separate OD's and 2 separate teams.

Also, I know for a fact that Academic prestige has something to do with players awareness ratings. Once I started winning I could be more picky about the players that I recruit and I started looking at players with higher awareness ratings ie play recognition, Route Running, Ball Carrier Vision, etc. Since I have been recruiting players with high grades in these areas my Academic prestige has went up a full letter grade in one OD and a half letter grade in another. We're in year 4 in one OD and year 3 in another. The Academic prestige didn't move the first 2 years in both and has increased a half letter grade in both since I changed my focus for recruits.

Also coach experience went up drastically when I started winning. In the OD that's in the 4th year, my coach experience went from a C+ to an A between years 3 and 4. It hadn't changed one time before then but it jumped all the way from C+ to A in one offseason. No surprise that the 3rd season was the only season that I finished in the top 10 in the country. I finished ranked #2 overall.

From what I can tell, if you win games all your pitches can change and get better except for conference prestige and the variable pitches ie proximity to home and early play time. Everything else WILL change if you start winning. The more you win, the better they will be.

I could go on and on about what I SEE and that contradicts what he says but you guys get the point.
