New NCAA 13 Dynasty Recruiting Features Detailed

[IlluminatusUIUC]

One thing I like is that Gameday Atmosphere and Campus Life have been split into two separate pitches.

Love the added recruiting aspects and hope they tighten up some gameplay elements and we have a "for the most part" a glitch free game.

While I'm glad we're getting new features for recruiting, I fear this will make recruiting even more tedious than it already is.....I'm all for more "realism" but I'm not in favor of making recruiting and the non-gameplay aspect of the game not fun.....

If Campus Life doesn't change I'm gonna pissed. It's not right if I build up a program for 12 years and the campus life never changes even tho I've made money for the school and given it notoriety.....

Did (some of) you guys not look at the screenshot in the very first post?

"Projected overall rating: 75 (-2) (47% scouted)"

This would strongly suggest that the more you scout a high OVR player, they are likely to have their rating decrease (and vice versa). When you first recruit a guy (10% recruited) he might be an 85, but by the time you completely recruit him (if you do get up to 100%), he might be all the way down to 75. He might pull a Vontaze Burfict and run a 5.09 40 time and put up weak bench reps and such, severely decreasing his rating.

I disagree. Building a winning program can and should build up your Gameday Atmosphere, but it doesn't matter what the coach does - you aren't turning Provo, UT into a raucous party town like Boulder, Madison, or Austin.

Sounds like recruiting should become less stale and it's nice that it's finally dynamic.

That's Utah tho. If I'm at say....Syracuse or Central Florida or even North Texas, you can't say that a winning football program doesn't change the culture of the school. And I don't mean a good 3 or 4 years. I mean, if I completely change the culture of the program, enrollment goes up at schools who win titles, and let's face it, the weekends are rowdier after a big win. That rating should change over time....make it REALLY hard, like 15 or seasons to get from a C to A-minus. It does change the pulse of the campus.

+1 to this.

My first year at UH, the football team went 0-11 nobody cared and the school was largely a commuter school. Students walked around wearing U Texas and Texas A&M gear. 10 years later people actually want to stay on campus and the school has a decent campus life that's still growing.
