i find it funny that so many people wanted something new to recruiting and they add something new and everyone hates it. They can't win can they?

To be fair, they didn't really add anything new. They just changed the way what was there works/is displayed.

Example, If my staff is good at recruiting should get like a point estimate like 150-160 or something. and if I was a bad recruiter, I would get like 100-180 or something.

It's a good idea, but how would they track that? Is EA going to start running recruiting stats? Lets try to be realistic. I will setlle for better presentation, QB's that no longer pitch when they are tackled, and the elimination of run commit.

The points are completely unnecessary as it really is about the same as it is now. Seems to me like they wasted time doing it. Second, I think it is evident that recruiting logic has not been fixed based on that recruit's list. Florida? Michigan? Notre Dame (now)? These guys wouldn't recruit a fullback for anything. It doesn't fit their system. Oh but wait... he was a 5 star fullback! Georgia Tech's flexbone offense ran by a slow, pocket passer quarterback, here we come!!

I've seen this complaint a few times now. Keep in mind it's not like there is an interest bar in real life as well but we've had that in the game forever! We just have a number attached to it now. Not really a big deal.

There are a handful of recruits each year that its a surprise as to what schools they like the best. I don't mind the point system as long as it allows for some surprises.

Actually that's not what I'm saying. I was pretty much saying what you are except I think that coaches don't know what to do in the case of some of these high profile wild cards. NCAA needs the wild cards and the unpredictability of some recruits.

Stop complaining. These are improvements, even if they're not improvements that YOU wanted. Take it for what it is, because that's what you're getting this year.
