Does anyone do auto-recruiting in Dynasty?

[kariya05]

I started a dynasty and did a few weeks of recruiting but kinda find it tedious and boring to essentially just allocate points to players every week and hope they join. Not to mention either you've studied a lot of online videos and are very good at recruiting and have an advantage over CPU, or you don't know what you're doing and have a disadvantage from the CPU. I guess I'd prefer my recruiting class to be determined by how well my team is doing rather than how much inside info I've studied to learn how to recruit well. Nor do I have the time/desire to do so.

I'm sure there are not many people who do auto-recruiting but just wondering if you still find Dynasty fulfilling or if it takes the fun away. Just don't think I have the desire to mess with recruiting.

I've considered doing Auto Recruiting just to level the playing field with the CPU. At some point, I'll test it out in one of my test dynasties to see if it helps with competitive balance over the long haul.

It would really be best if EA would bring back the recruiting website, or create an app for recruiting purposes. It really can become tedious, and time consuming.

I had considered giving Auto a try, but after going out and finding the guys I want on my team, getting them on my recruiting board first, then seeing how the CPU manages it from that point.

I’ve seen people write on here that the cpu is pretty terrible at recruiting for you (compared to the 133 other cpu recruiters, not just compared to a human). I simmed a season for testing and turned on auto recruiting. My Michigan team’s recruiter signed 10 recruits (average recruits at that) while the rest of the B1G signed 20+.

EDIT: this was pre-patch

Ugh good to know. I would have thought they would be equally as good as the CPU team's recruiting. If that's true then I don't think I'd want to auto-recruit.

It sucks because I prefer the free-agency/draft/signing part of Madden better than recruiting but prefer College in every single other way.

Just start a new dynasty, set recruiting to auto, sim to signing day and see how they did. Then sim to the off-season signing day and see how the final class looks.

I'm auto recruited year 1 in Miss State Dynasty. Was 103rd in country at the end of the year. Next season I auto recruited, but I did step in and hard sell guys etc. I ended that year 17th in the country. Year 3, did same thing, top 6 in the country.

So, it's was too easy to recruit, I'm gonna have the CPU auto recruit and I'll just go and get a few main guys I want and leave it be.

No way! Thats the best part of a college game to me. Now in Madden…I’ll auto all the financial/roster building tasks save for the actual drafting of players.
