Recruiting (Playing Style Pitch)

[cap032]

I like this new pitch but Im confused about it and looking for help/opinions. Im playing with Alabama and this pitch is graded as a B for them(understanable for QB and WR positions) for every offensive position recruit.......even HB???? On the defensive side of the ball.....the pitch is a C- for every position??? That confuses me even more. Shouldnt LBs especially love a 3-4 defensive style? Or is this pitch tied in to something else besides your O and D schemes?

All based on stats. Your LBs don't have many tackles or INTs, you are going to have a bad grade.

Then shouldn't Alabama have better grades? They have top draft choices at HB, & they have Bednarik defenders. Initially, Alabama should be very, very highly rated.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm believing it's tied to positional production.

Your actual schemes must not have anything to do with it. Ive changed schemes, even playbooks, and the grade was still the same. The fact the grade is the same for every offensive position and the same grade for every defensive position leaves me confused. Hopefully someone who has played an entire season, and kept an eye on this pitch, can chime in if the pitch changed significantly from one season to the next or within the current season itself. If the pitch is tied to the previous years production.........Im not getting Bama having a C- for every defensive position. If its tied to the current year........shouldnt all teams start low? Either way, the stat must somehow be tied into offense and defenses as wholes..... and nothing to do with positions.

I forget exactly where but it explains your pitches increase and decrease every week. For possession receivers, for instance if you're recruiting a possession receiver and your receivers average among the most in the country for catches, then you will receive an A+ grade. Each teams rankings change from 1-120 (or however many teams there are in the game)

Like the guy said earlier, if you're recruiting hard hitting linebackers, to get a good Play Style pitch for them you have to make a lot of tackles with your linebackers. Cover corners, need a lot of picks from your cornerbacks. It explains in recruiting about play style.
