I hate recruiting this year

[SeaOfRed75]

First of all thank you EA for making me as Nebraska have to resort to a walk-on kicker after losing Alex Henery and offering every damn kicker out there. Thanks again for having that walk-on kicker (which by the way Henery was and is one of the best kickers in the nation) turn out to be a 45 overall idiot who has 45 kick power and accuracy and cant walk and chew gum at the same time let alone kick anything longer than a 20 yard field goal.

Thanks again for me having to promise a punter solid playing time to get his commit that year. Having said punter be by far better than ****ty walk-on kicker, then having Punter start as my kick-off man, field goal kicker, and PUNTER. Then thank you for having my promise broken just now at the end of the year for solid playing time.

Lastly I am convinced that there are teams programmed in to be near locks for top 4 and 5 star guys to be interested in/commit to even when 2 other 4 or 5 star guys did. And Nebraska is not one of them. After 2 undefeated seasons (and screwed out of chance to even play for MNC both years, but thats another story) I am up to a 6 star school with A+ in plenty of biggies. I go after them with max hour every week, and promise them ****. Do they still go to the loaded depth chart school of Bama, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, or Florida? Yes. Its not me going after fish that are too big for me or anything like that. Im not even going for ridiculous stacked depth charts. Its stupid hard to get a 4 star MLB to commit when all I have left is one guy I had to convince to stay.

I just dont get it. I dont want the old recruiting, but this is just plain dumb.


End of rant. I think I feel a little better.

I'm of the belief that there shouldn't even be any low rated kicker prospects in the game. I can't tell you how many games I've won because the CPU team had a kicker who missed countless extra points or field goals from a respectable range. Sometimes I'm even tempted to jump offsides so they don't have to attempt a field goal I know they have no chance of making (and that's so unfortunate).

Sidebar: What difficulty are you recruiting on?

Sea of red, you can knock the recruiting difficulty down a notch. What recruiting diff are you using?

I LOVE the recruiting this year and it's one of my favorite changes to the game.

Plus I'm sure IRL Michigan would love a 45-rated kicker right about now!

It is pretty stupid though to see a 5-6 star program struggle to get ANYONE interested in a scholarship offer. As Florida I have had to take walk on TE's and FB's because none were interested. That's just ridiculous. Show me any top 10 team that has gone 4 straight years without a scholarship player at TE that uses one in their offense.

Uh...you know you don't need someone to be initially interested (green) in your program for you to successfully recruit them right?

The week *** kickers is why I sadly simulate anything involving kicking. Get the random miss,fumble,return TD and stuff like that.
