NCAA Football 14 Recruiting Guide

Re: NCAA Football 14 Recruiting Guide

Does bench and PBK correlate?

I believe that bench is run blocking.

Squat is RBK, bench is STR.

Squat is RBK, bench is STR.

Is there a number that correlates with PBK? I should probably know this, but I don't.

No.
A pass blocker's PBK will be at least 2-3 points higher than his RBK (which you know).
A balanced guy's PBK will be within ~2 of his RBK.
A run blocker's PBK will be at least 3 lower than his RBK and could be a whole bunch lower, so run blockers are a crap shoot (if you're not scouting).

Alright, thanks! That's a big help.

This is correct and it still applies for '14.

so...

i been playing this game for years and never knew this. lmao

so, if i sort by squat, then look for the highest combo of bench and 40, i should run across some gems?

It's all relative. A "gem" isn't a good player. It's someone that's better than originally thought. Say you sort OL by squat (RBK) and you see a balanced guy with 85 RBK (balanced means that his PBK will close to 85 as well. If this guy is thought to me an 80 OVR, then he's not a gem (but still a stud). If he's thought to be a 70 OVR, then he would be a gem. Regardless of whether or not he's a gem, they're both probably equally as good, even if 1 is a gem and the other isn't.

gotcha! so this is more of a tell for guys that dont scout. i mean, i can still use this table but i do still scout. i win most games but not all, and i get most recruits i want but not all. not scouting would add another level of difficulty that im not ready for yet LMAO

thanks!!

Re: NCAA Football 14 Recruiting Guide

Just curious, does anyone know if the recruits in the game are randomly generated each year or are same sets of recruits repeated after every x # of years?

Generated by a "controlled random" they have Presets done

I'm sorry but can you explain more?

You mean the same set of recruits could be generated in back to back years? I hope not

I don't believe so... I think what he is saying is that there is a preset list of rules that generates the recruits. If one of those rules is that you cannot have the same set of recruits, then you won't.

(I don't actually know for certain, just trying to read what he wrote here in my own way)

Exactly, one guy who was a dev for the game said it once in reddit

Re: NCAA Football 14 Recruiting Guide

I was doing some testing with recruiting...
Offensive tackle Eric Berg had me at #1 at the beginning of week 2.
He was 29% locked.
I put 1045 points on him (345 bonus, 700 Pts)
The next week I was still #1 and he was 44% locked.
So if you do the math 1045=15%. The approximate # of points needed to sign him would be 6975.
So I should sign him by week 8. This should put me over 100%
But this did not happen. I maxed him out every week and eventually signed him in week 12.
The only thing I noticed is that by week 6 or 7 it had changed from"lock%" to "we made the cut".
Does anyone have any insights into how all of this works? Anymore info?

Another thing I found out is if you do not offer you cannot get above 73%(I think we all know this) but any points you put on someone after you get to 73% may as well be thrown in the trash, they go towards nothing. You could be maxing out points for a few weeks and finally offer him and he won't commit due to banking all those points for 3 weeks he will only go up 10-15%

Re: NCAA Football 14 Recruiting Guide

I was giving this more thought, I think what happened is that I got Eric Berg to 100% locked but since there was another team still within x # of points it then turned into a "battle with another team". What is x? 2000 points? I have to test it to see. But then what determines when a player commits to one of the schools in the battle for him? Interesting system ea created here.
I love figuring these things out. I've had the game only 6 months and really have just been having fun with it.
