NCAA Football 13 Video - First Look at Scouting, When You Start Your Dynasty

I also like that that expanded the recruit search engine by adding Stars. I think it will speed up recruiting.
When I play as a 1-2 star school, I dont look at 4-5 star players. It is a waste of a time, Unless I wanted a game changer. It took a long time to filter through the players to find the smaller ranked players. With the star filter, I will be able to find the 1-3 star players faster.

I like the direction this is going, but I have a problem with 60 minutes of scouting a QB and it doesn't tell you anything about their arm at all.

Yeah, ratings should matter much more.

Maybe his arm was sore that day at practice

I agree. Much like in real life, if someone is going after a QB, they are probably focused on awareness, arm strength and accuary, not so much max bench press.

The hit power rating is what changes the way/animations a player tackles. The tackle rating just increases/decreases the chance of a successful tackle.

I believe it was Gotmadskillzson who brought it up about if you lower all the players hit power, the game plays more smoothly and has much more realistic tackle animations instead of every player leaving their feet trying to impale the ball carrier. Again, more of a reason for a global editor.

Sometimes I think the people at OS know how EAs ratings work more than EA does.

Strangely looking forward to having my first 5 star bust after neglecting to scout him. Can't wait for it.
