Just overalls. For example:

A+ 4 teams
A 3 teams

90+ QBs 13 (2 99s)
90+ HB 10 (1 99)

I took over a CPU team in a OD and was surprised to find that the CPU hadn't redshirted anyone and I had 7 QBs. But 5 of them will end up being redshirted because they aren't going to play a snap this year.

Thats another disaster. 7 QBs?? Really EA? I thought they tuned teams recruiting too much of one position?

I'm also on it. So we'll have Block-O's and both of ours after all is said and done.

I just wanted to take a quick sample of recruiting classes for mid level squads in major confrences. Colorado, Arkansas,Rutgers, Oregon state and the highest rated recruit was a 71. LOTS of high 60s. OSU recruited 9 players rated below 60

Progression is good and big time teams do have better recruits. Teams like Ohio State are still signing too many JUCOs and have too many walk ons. I seen Florida and Oklahoma have like 4-5 players with overalls in the 40s and 50s. Im not liking what I see so far on this front. Now im hearing the defense sucks too. Uggghhhhh, come on Madden roster update!!

So the patch and tuner pretty much broke the game right? These reports about dynasty are frightening.

People use the words "broke" and "game killer" way too much on this forum.

Honestly ive simmed 5 seasons and have seen no in-season progression. Unless im misreading. But im not seeing it from my controlled team or any others.

1 & 2 stars are higher rated. They didnt raise 3 stars any. A lot of 1 and 2 stars are rated higher than their 3 stars

For any BCS school to be recruiting players less than 60 overall is a complete failure to me. Thats the true game killer for me right now.

A guy in the mid 60s has to progress 4-5 points a year to see the 80s overall. The mid 70s have to do that to see the 90s

And that kind of progression isnt always guaranteed. There isnt enough diversity amongst player overalls on teams. Im preaching it, Arizona at this rate will always have 50-75 overall players at best. Its going to be a reach for them to have a player in the 80s, and impossible to see a 90s. And that contradicts the defualt ratings where Zona has a few in the 90s and several 80s.

Yes, teams like FAU, Baylor, Oregon State or Iowa State, should always be full of 80s and bunches of 90s. But its not impossible like it is in the game. Oregon State should have some 90s every now and then.

Im about to post what things look like at the beginning of 2015, waiting on my man to post what they look like at the beginning of 2010 when the game starts.
