Somebody needs to confirm or disprove this before it gets out of hand and cheapens the detailed research many others have already done to find the real issues. Edit: and it's not 100% of recruits, because a few days ago i recruited a scrambler and he REMAINED A SCRAMBER until i edited his jersey number. 100%, he was fine UNTIL I EDITED HIM. I just don't have pics.

This has been confirmed already. Once the recruits get edited in any way, their tendencies change. Same goes for created players.

He's claiming that they come in incorrect to begin with...

I'm aware, i'm talking about the sudden appearance of these posts claiming that recruits are recruited as scramblers and change AUTOMATICALLY to balanced and vice versa. There's been a ton of posts to that effect because apparently it's full panic mode time at OS for some of our less "proficient" members.

Edit: and to clarify, i'm in the "this only affects players if they are edited" mindset on this. I know it's a real glitch, i'm just saying it doesn't kill recruiting unless you decide to edit the recruit after he joins your team

Thank you.. You said it better than I could have.

Okay, but the wording of the post I quoted was unfortunately imprecise and did not state clearly that the tendencies changed once recruits were edited. It suggested perhaps that recruits just flat came in with different tendencies than they had when they were recruited.

Sounds like this issue is a telephone game thing. I'm not worried at all then. I'll just start an offline dynasty with auto-generated names and keep enjoying the game.

It is not a 100% but its happening. I know for sure I recruited a scrambling 5 star QB something I worked hard on and now he is balanced and I didn't change a thing on the guy. I also recruited a pocket passer and he is still a pocket passer, I got a balanced QB that is now a Scrambler. It seems random.

I will say I started this dynasty with named rosters, but since these are randomly generated recruites I'm not sure that matters. I'm going to start a new Dynasty today with default rosters, at the end of season 1 I will take a screenshot of all the players I have recruited while they are still on the recruiting board. I will advance to season 2 and check them again once they are on my team and see if they have changed.

Screw it I'm just going to sim the first season and check recruits to make it faster. Doing that now.

@SGMRock, i'm not doubting you one bit, nothing would surprise me at all. All i'm requesting (and others would like too, i'm sure) is that somebody get a picture or some kind of concrete proof for this. This thread is the place for it, and we don't want to leave any stones unturned on this. I watched this problem go from "maybe" to "probably" to "oh my sweet lord" in a day, and it reaches deeper than we thought. Anything to show how deep is good, i just think proof is needed so that we know what exactly we're dealing with here. I want to know if i'm wasting my time completely playing this game or not.

It's not random... I know it's a long thread but I really wish people would take the time to do some reading. Only some tendencies change. Balanced <--> Scrambling. Pocket passer is unaffected. It's the same with every position. One tendency is left alone.
