    If you promise someone they will go in the first round and they instead go in the 7th round, what happens exactly? Is there a coach integrity rating that is affected?
    It goes as a broken promise... similar to prior years if you break a promise made to a recruit.

    It will affect Coach Prestige. 1 broken promise won't knock you down in rating, but if you start accumulating them, they will.

    The game doesn't measure how off your promise is either. If you promise 1st round, and they go in the 2nd or 7th (or undrafted) it still counts as 1 broken promise. No difference in how off your assessment is

      Great write up. Loving the recruiting this year. It's deeper than I think a lot of people realized yet streamlined really well.

        Nicely done! I only played a few games this morning before work, and have several recruits visiting tonight when I get home. Unfortunately I have 3 QBs coming, but I guess I'll just need a big game and learn my lesson for next year.

          How are you doing this? I can't seem to figure it out.

            Here are the things I have found so far with recruiting while playing as EMU.

            1) It isn't as hard as everyone has made it sound. As EMU I have some 3 star recruits who I am leading on getting so far and up by over 1,000 points 4 games into the season.

            2) There still aren't enough FB's.

            3) It's so much more realistic than in previous years.

            4) It is more fun this way than before.

            5) The tips in the guide are certainly helpful.

              Thanks for the guide, nicely done! I'm a little perplexed by some of the reviews (okay, mostly IGN) that seem to treat this like a minor "paint job" update on a mode that was already there. This seems to me to be a significant overhaul, and it comes in the same year we get a physics overhaul that noticeably changes running and tackling. This is a 7.4....how? Reviewers seem to go into autopilot mode when they sense a new console generation is coming out.

              I did always feel like both visits and scholarships were badly undervalued in the old recruiting. Glad to see that was addressed - this sounds like it could be markedly better.

                I like the fact I can offer everyone a scholarship and of the guys who accept I can choose not to sign them.

                  Preseason recruiting... when you first access recruiting, you have the option to Create a Prospect or Skip to Recruiting.

                  That's the only time you can do it. If you skip to recruiting, you lock yourself out of creating a prospect.

                    4 games is early.... wait until the visits start. You will see 1500-2000 point swings on recruits.

                    And if you have to fight for multiple recruits, you will start running out of points quickly! That's when recruiting really begins. I had 2-3,000 point leads and watched that disappear during visits.

                    The guide wasn't built to say recruiting is hard, it's only hard in year 1 if you don't know the basics. Because it's very easy to fall into some recruiting traps that worked in prior years, but will put you behind the 8 ball here.

                      Okay, I realize I'm going to sound stupid but I just don't see the option. Is it available in the online dynasty? Which menu is it under? I've looked in recruiting and seen things like the top 100, my school, pipeline states... but I don't see any creation options.

                      Sorry for the confusion, I'm at work right now but think I checked it over pretty thoroughly earlier.

                        If you see Top 100, you're already passed the chance you had to make the recruits. It occurs the very first time you enter the recruiting module in preseason. If you skip that step, you will not see it again until the next pre-season.

                        Based on you seeing Top 100, Pipelines, etc.... you've passed that step and can't go back to it. You would need to progress to the next season, or start the dynasty all over again.

                          Must've clicked through something too fast, I'll try it again next season. Thanks!

                            Excellent write up. Thanks for the tips.

                            Is there tips on the coaching trees?

                                how many WRs can I invite to visit without getting a competitive deduction? I would hope you say two.
