Five Reasons to Be Excited for NCAA 13: #2 Phone Calls Are Back!

[Army801st]

Jello1717!!! Wow that is the first time i actually saw footage of the conversations!! I've studied the video and D***!! I love this game even more now, smoother transitions from picking the topic to showing you exact results if you compare your school to another school!! Finally, I really think that every year they dig into dynasty and if it works keep it, if it doesn't work tweek it a little and run with it. They are going in the right direction here, and maybe scount/recruiting will actually be fun season after season after season!! Dynasty is something that has to keep players wanting to keep coming back after they win 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 national titles!!

you don't get credit for fixing something you screwed up in the first place

Do you ever have anything positive to say about this game? I've noticed that you're overly critical.

You gotta ignore these dudes, if they're not happy then they're going to try and urinate on everyone else's parade as well.

That 5 star fullback screen is from NCAA 12 guys

Man, I'd go after that 5-star FB like he was the last recruit on earth. I don't even care if it's "not realistic". I want that beast on my team. He can probably destroy at TE as well.

Now..... if they can just get the pancake stats fixed......

Last year I had recruited a fullback at Clemson who came in in the mid-80s with 90 speed as a true freshman. He was the #1 overall FB, I believe 3*. He was without a doubt the single best recruit I've ever had. He was a monster. I played him at HB/FB/TE.

During his 4 year career, I installed 3 different offensive schemes based on the personnel around him and just made sure he got featured. When I had 4 90+ WR's, I ran air raid and he served as my power HB in pistol as well as a blocking back. When I had a few good backs and a quick QB, I ran spread option with him as the dive back.

His final year as a Senior he was 92 overall, 93 speed and I ran Tom Osborne's exact offense from Nebraska and utilized him as the dive back in triple option, the single back in Ace and just an all around power back. Ended up winning the Heisman Trophy.

Absolutely the single best player I have ever recruited. I look forward to NCAA 13 and being able to find another one just like him and adapt the offense to him.

I honestly feel indifferent to the phone call pitch. Maybe I'll feel different about it once I actually get to play it, but I feel recruiting needs an overhaul. I'd like for recruiting to be closer to real life, where in June certain teams have 15+ prospects already committed.

I think recruiting will be more enjoyable than 12, and that's def a positive, I just don't think recruiting still is as enjoyable as it should be. Bringing back something that existed before just doesn't give me 'excitement'.

A refocused recruiting system would make me excited.

Well wouldn't it be better to email EA? You would have a better chance they would listen to you there than here.

I kind of liked the randomness and challenge of the roulette style calls. At least with those everyone just couldn't spam their best topics; which made it much more difficult. In my OD with smaller schools over half the league had draft classes that was in the lower half of the NCAA. Hopefully, they've at least made it more difficult than how it used to be pre-roulette wheel.

With the triple option, there's my first option.

Re: Five Reasons to Be Excited for NCAA 13: #2 Phone Calls Are Back!

Do you think that they've put 5* FBs in to help teams that run the wishbone or similar offenses?

Re: Five Reasons to Be Excited for NCAA 13: #2 Phone Calls Are Back!

In that video of recruiting posted, I noticed they added coach integrity. That's nice! Failing promises has a drawback now.

Also, will #1 be posted?

We shall see how things go!
