Realistic Recruiting Expected in NCAA Football 14

[khaliib]

Sounds like some variation of Connected Careers to me. I've never made it to the Recruiting because most of my time has been spent editing to improve the overall so called "Fun" of the game.

I guess for Recruiting to matter the "Type of Players" need to matter during actual gameplay. Outside of Speed, why would a gamer waste time going through this aspect/injection of the game. All the feedback in the world does not change the fact that "Every" player plays the same outside of the Speed factor.

With this, I would pose the question to anyone on the developement team...
What's the point of Recruiting when the end-game has always been the fastest player at any given position?

This is a good thing. But did they ask WVU what proper foot planting looks like ?

I SMH and LOL at the same time on this, oh Tiburon. Anyway better late than never to start consulting real college recruiters about recruiting in a sim game. I hope this all means realism, not the devs idea of "fun", is the new goal for G4 consoles because I am pretty sure EA football games on current consoles are FUBAR at this point.

When I first read that line, I was like "really?". They have connections with College teams, but never used it for recruiting. Recruiting is one of the most important aspects in College FBall, if not most important. It basically said that they was using their own version of recruiting.

I am still on a wait and see approach, but I am optimistic. Im expecting to see a overhaul in dynasty..

I'm unable to find the words to accurately describe how much I disagree with these statements.

I second the above. madden is a different story but NCAA players are well done, except for in 12 1 position "athletes" and WRs having A carrying but D catching.

I can't even get excited or my hopes up. New systems are coming out this holiday season and the last important NCAA Football game on this current generation of systems still won't be as good compared to how we felt going into the transition of ps2 (xbox) to ps3 (xbox 360). I hope this game is able to bring me back because I haven't played an EA football game for longer than 2 weeks in a while.

I don't think the NCAA would allow paying their players in the game.
