This is the type of sloppiness that ruins madden and NCAA every year. Why have team specific styles if they will not recruit to it. Georgia Tech would never recruit a great pocket passeras long as they are an option team.

I don't understand how this is not addressed. Where is Adam and the other developers when there are legitimate concerns like this.

Outstanding. Guarantee first year of dynasty GT/Army/Navy recruit pocket passers thus ruining those teams completely every time. I don't care if recruiting is harder, its useless to me if they don't recruit to their offense, and i don't want to secondary control all the option teams just to make it work.

sigh.

well, I think this ALSO backs up the coaching carousel and coach names!!! Now who's with me? I mean, certain coaches run certain systems, so whatever team they are with would run that system, recruit for that system, and etc. until that coach leaves and goes somewhere else. Now, a coach would be possibly be a little bit less likely to go to a school without the personell for his system, depending on pay, if a good contract, they may go anyway and just work with what they've got, maybe not fully implementing their system how they'd like until they have the right players. Now wait a minuite, this idea of contractsm playing a role ties in to being able to (similar to Madden 05) set prices for various things such as parking, food, memoribilia (sp?), and etc. as well as make stadium upgrades and whatnot....my how things could link together to create the BEST NCAA game EVER......AFA DYN goes anyway lol....

Q: Will the CPU recruit players that fit their 120th way to win? IE. GT recruiting scrambling QBs instead of pocket passers. A: Essentially what I got out of it was no. Ben Haumiller said that they will basically recruit to their strengths but that (his example) if Georgia Tech had a great in-state pocket passer QB they might go after him. But their playbook would not be changed to suit him or anything. Essentially, reading between the lines? No change.

Very disappointing. While I'm still more excited for 11 than I was for 09 or 10, this is a BIG letdown for me.

Yeah I think if nothing else the QB position is a must to be recruited for the style of offense that the team plays. GT is an option team with many option run plays but if their future QB has speed of like 60 because he is a pocket passer, say hello to a losing year every year.

120 ways to figure how to get the CPU to recruit for each teams style of play.

Say it is not so, please EA for the love of 60 bucks.

Maybe if those Tuner sets make it in, there could be one to correct this issue?

So what im getting from most of the board is, If the #1 Qb wants to go to GT. They shouldnt take him? Dont know if any of you remember, but ND was a option team when they signed Rick Mirer(a pocket passer).

You can talk about style of play all day, but a college team wouldn't so no to a good player. Then to add sometimes you have to take what you can get. If no running Qb wants to goto GT. Do they go without signing a QB at all? Take what you can get, then adjust your offense. Thats what Notre Dame did, thats what GT would do.

but that's exactly the problem because the game won't do that. I think people would be fine if the cpu either recruited to their scheme or changed their scheme based on personnel, but from the sound of things the cpu won't do either

Im talking about adjust, as far as playcalling. Calling more passes in the game, not going for flex option, to a wide open offense.
