This is exactly the way it was before the tuner. I am also seeing the CPU recruit redundant players and end up with silly numbers of backups. Lower teir schools also seem be be having a harder time recruiting in general now. They are still pretty much just recruiting what they can get instead of what they need. I am sure there was some type of tweaking. I don't question that but it is upsetting that what was done had such little impact.

I don't think I understand what you want. Why is a 2 star prospect that comes in rated a 55 and leaves rated a 75 in 5 years bad? What do you want them to come in as?

The progression still isn't that good. If you look every team still goes down by 4 overall. Still nice though.

Confusing...

Comparing after LPT1 to before, yes, after LPT1 Overall is higher than overall before LPT1.

But what I see though is that even after LPT1, all teams you included in that chart have regressed overall since 2010. So while higher than they were before the LPT1, they are all still lower in 2016 than they were in 2010. Not a single team has a higher overall in 2016 than they did in 2010, regardless of the update or not.

I hope that makes sense.

I really didn't want to make too many drastic changes as I feel the top end (in player Overalls) is really good and if I messed with it too much that got broke. -Russ

OK, I see this response you had to someone else. Unfortunate a little better fix could not be found this year, but I understand what you are saying. Thank you for the adjustments you have been able to make, and making them sensibly without making the situation worse. :-)

Interesting... can someone else try this and see if it works?

most teams are overrated on the default roster to begin with.

This is just an incredible job by everybody on the NCAA Football Dev team at EA. Kudos to all of you for, first off, creating the best football game on the next gen by a long shot, and then to keep your ear to the forums and make tweaks to take the game above and beyond. A continued stellar job on a stellar game. Thank you to all of you.

That's NOT what he said. Russ said the opposite... that there are basically ratings for everything a player does on the field. AWR just helps QBs and who they will throw to.

This is from a few pages back, but yeah. I just picked up a three star tackle rated 57 overall. I also had a four star running back come in at 70, while I had a couple of three star guys in the mid to high 70s.
