Five Reasons to Be Excited for NCAA 13: #2 Phone Calls Are Back!

Undecided. The random factor was nice in that it was a good handicap to overpowered recruiting tactics, but it also got rid of some strategy in that choosing how and what to pitch was a given.

The new system will have a wait and see approach before I will say how I feel. My immediate speculation tells me that it may allow for the sam overpowered recruiting tactics if their is no negative consequence for dominating the conversation and talking a recruits ear off, even if two of the 4 four topics are one he likes.

This^^^

When do you ever see a 5 star fullback, especially in today's game of mostly wide open offenses? Hopefully it's better than last year where no one except WRs and HBs were 5 star, but I don't wanna start seeing 5 star kickers and such. If there are, that dude better be able to nail 60 yarders with ease. haha

But with the kicking the way it is 1 Star kickers can hit 60 yarders with ease lol But I agree with you.

This last part is key. There should be some difference between letting a recruit bring up something and forcing him to talk about it. For example, maybe you get more points for letting him bring up a topic rather than just picking it yourself. Sort of like talking with the guy to show that you're interested in him rather than just giving him a sales pitch.

I too liked the roulette style especially since you had the option to request (or sometimes choose) another topic. I actually thought that, with the roulette system, there should be a penalty for ignoring a topic repeatedly. Maybe there was behind the scenes?

It's not even a receiving fullback, its a 5 star blocking fullback.

I hope it's not like Madden where they had like 5 fullbacks projected to go in the first 3 rounds every year. I don't wanna see the top 100 littered with fullbacks.
