NCAA Football 11 Dynasty Blog: 1 of 3 - Phone Call

I can't speak for everyone else here, but for me, I'm fine with the points system as long as there are surprises in recruiting to keep it more suspenseful. I know that coaches probably have a good idea of who they are going to get because most kids give a verbal commitment. However, there are no points involved with the process.

The interest bars on the top 10 list are the same as last year. The only difference is that now they show us the points (which were still there last year, we just couldn't see them). I think the main difference is that we no longer seem to have the option to spam our Most and Very High pitches for 2-4 hours to ensure that we lock someone up.

Exactly, don't show the points. It makes it more unrealistic. There is absolutely no reason to show them if you have a graph that shows interest (which we already had). All I should know is if it's close or it isn't.

Would be shocked.

Would be a nice little surprise, though, if when thumbing through Dynasty options, there was a "hide inside data" option that would hide recruiting points, team ratings, player ratings, etc.

Lots of guys have clamored for hiding player ratings; I think hiding ALL of that stuff would add a level of realism currently lacking. For instance, it has always bugged me when an A+ OVR team started the season unranked while some B- OVR team was top 10. If ratings were hidden, that wouldn't be an issue. You'd merely judge teams (and players) based on their on-field performance; to scout a team, you'd have to look at statistics and how they've performed on their schedule so far, not just see "A+ defense," etc.

Sorry for the "wishlist" post, just saying.

While Im not thrilled with the point system. I think people need to realise that this is a video game. Not great but it doesnt kill recruiting. Like somebody mentioned as long as there is enough shake up to keep things interesting.

You know, since the different offensive styles are in. Would the AI have enough robot intuition to change his position to say a TB , TE or even LB?

Which makes me wonder if cpu recruiting logic has been fixed.

Clap, clap for that blog. Glad to see they are adding nuance and more depth to the dynasty mode instead of dumbing it down. I can't wait to read the other two.

the only issue i have is that he's a 5 star fullback, you usually don't see that,
also i hope at the end of recruiting teams like Florida, USC, Alabama, and Texas have the top classes,
i don't wanna see those teams down in the late teens or 20's, not even in the teens really

That's what makes it so brilliant, the 5 star fullback is back.
