We'll just have to learn to subconsciously ignore the points somehow. I really hate the mathematics of the game's recruiting system being revealed to the user.

What's next, are they going to show the percentage of likelihood that a WR is going to catch or drop a pass in the play select screen?

I actually always thought that was great to not know why you're not making progress. It made it feel more like the recruit just doesn't want to play for my school where are now, it will be revealed to me that I am losing due to mathematics.

That was my thought on it. I loved the frustration. It's realistic. Now I know exactly how far I am behind, which you shouldn't ever know. I'd also like to see guys trim their list (it says interested in top 3 or 5 right now) and actually only show that many teams on their list, instead of ten when they've trimmed their list to 5 or 8 or so.

Rice should definitely be on the top academics list before USC. Baylor definitely doesnt belong on that list either.

Rice
Duke
UCLA
Boston College

If the player ratings matter, this will be fun. If a punter can still block a DL, then it will be rendered worthless.

The entire big ten should be on the list since every school is in the top 100 *I think

In the Football Bowl Subdivision, institutions with top APR figures in football included Rutgers (992), Air Force (988), Rice (987), Northwestern (986), Duke (983), Notre Dame (978) and Miami, Fla. (978).

Didn't expect the U lol
Great stuff, the U never gets thrown into these debates but is a great school of academia. The academies are usually forgotten as well but I doubt there are tougher places to be a student athlete, especially the Fighting Falcons out of Colorado Springs.

LMAO, I was gonna say the same thing. If you can breathe, you get into that school. Don't be fooled by their acceptance rates, either. It's only low because half the nation wants to go there.

From what I have seen, I think the only reason they went with a random selection for pitches is because it was way too easy before, when you could just pick the same topics your school was good at and recruit a guy fairly easily. Now they actually make you address your weak points as well.

What troubles me is it seems like it was really easy to make up ground on the schools ahead of you. Only about 250 point separated the top schools form the lowest ones, and he probably made up about 100 or more points with just one recruiting call. I hope the recruiting difficulty was set lower for his demonstration.

The Big Ten should generally be better than the Big 12 and SEC, that's for sure.

I know people who have been accepted to ND but declined to USC. ND is generally a bit better of a school than USC, but it isn't by much.

LOL @ Baylor. Avg SAT score of roughly 1200. Even I did better than that. They accept fifty percent of their applicants...

New recruiting looks good... Good to see EA making strides.

I like the new idea of the points since now you can see that you are not moving up/down because another school matched/beat your points from last week. In real life, I think they know if another school is still in pursuit of another player. You arent gaining/losing b/c of 'mathmatics' since the points are based on your ability to use recruiting points/promises/offer. I like the change-who's coming with me? Who's coming with me? Well, this is embarrassing.

I think the new system levels the playing field in regards to recruiting. Gone are the days or 3+ hours on topics to get practically every recruit.

Something mentioned earlier in the thread made me think of something I hadn't considerer before. It would be interesting if a recruit was really interested in something like academics and say five of your conference rivals were better then you in that regard and they all used the comparison pitch at the same time and knocked like 200 points off of your score, letting some other team in another conference get the player.

None of them were ever going to get him, but they jammed you up and got the kid totally out of the conference where they didn't have to worry about him killing them for 3 or 4 years.

Its not likely to happen, but theoretically it could and anything that keeps the User from simply dominating recruiting is a good thing.

I am much more impressed with NCAA right now than with Madden. It is looking great!
