Is recruiting too easy now?

My recruiting difficulty is on heisman. I'm playing as Memphis trying to rebuild. I recruited four 4star players including a rated 80 WR in my first year. Anyone have similar experiences?

Re: Is recruiting too easy now?

in a way yes but in others no.. like that 80 ovr receiver that is a blessing because i also recruit on Heisman and haven't reeled in a 5star yet and as a lower school bust are still better recruits than 80% of your roster.

Yea I made a thread about this here:

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ecruiting.html

There is just something out of balance with recruiting this year. Maybe because recruits don't have a set top 10 it is easier to get up on the recruits early and force the CPU teams to back off.

Re: Is recruiting too easy now?

I think busts are way too common in 4 stars. There also seem to be way too many 2 star gems. I think the biggest problem is the fact that you can 100% scout a player way too quickly and easily. Coaches need to have a scouting grade and the scouting results should be based on how well the coaches can scout. If your coach sucks at scouting then it should be harder to find the gems and harder to find the busts. The system now makes it way too easy to find the gems and the busts.

Re: Is recruiting too easy now?

I think so. As UNLV, Year 1, All-American, I had the #29 Recruiting class.

2 4*
15 3*
7 2*
1 1* (66 OVR K)

Re: Is recruiting too easy now?

of course it is. you havce the ability now to load your board with 3* and scouth them all 2 4 and 5 star ratings and get them. and if they suck dump them and try again. There is no downside. Scouting is a good idea just not well thought out.

1* Cupcake Team Builder:

0 5*
5 4*
8 3*
9 2*
0 1*

So yeah. It's because the CPU doesn't go after busts. So you can have a 4* bust be a starter on a 1* school, but the human players are going to be the only one recruiting them.
