Looking forward to this release even more after this info !

The recruiting was boring at best, and any change to the old system never really felt like much of a change.

Totally changing the whole recruiting system, now that is an improvement I am looking forward to !

You're being obtuse. There is nothing realistic or fun about the #2 DT in the country only being recruited by two schools, unless you make up a story in your head that he has discipline or qualifying issues. And I was on heisman, not freshman. Leave the "let's let the small schools have a chance" to the lower difficulty levels.

Well I hope you guys are gonna upgrade Teambuilder, and allowing for more tams being included into dynasty but I do not have my hopes up.

# 64 Aggies7 @ 05/28/13 12:21 PM

I'm sadly unimpressed. Was really hoping to hear about dynasty specific presentation(Gameday) and also revamped Coaching Carousel.

# 65 Bigsheen @ 05/28/13 12:21 PM

Well i like the rest, wish there was more, however, after years of EA trying to find a good recruiting system they finally realized that the old games had it best. Quick and easy while still getting the job done is the best result. Even though its not everything i was hoping for , I'm pretty excited for 14 to come out because of everything they seemed to have improved. Now lets just hope and pray come release day everything works as planned.

Can recruiting still be done on the website?

Is scouting still the same or will it be based on points too instead of time?

Just curious how come EA is being so vague and lackluster with announcement this year. Was it because that the marketing team was cut down. In years past we would get like a video each week and talking about all the little things.

few things I'm wondering.

1) Any upgrade to the presentation element to dynasty. Ex. I remember hearing about commentary focus on different player each week and the key player of the team will change depending on their performance.

Are there going to be replays with in game studio, or any changes to in game studio.

2) How does season progression work with players now. Will coach skills effect the progression of the players during season or end of season.

3)Has the logic changed in who makes it into the draft class to madden 25. Also with the different equipment and ratings in NCAA will draft class players come out all jacked up with weird shoulder pads, lopsided legs and boobs this year or have they worked on debugging those things.

Thank you for answering.

So, there is a point cap per recruit (I believe it starts with 500 per week,) HOWEVER, there are HC coach skills you can unlock to improve both your overall pool of points and how much you can spend on recruits from week to week.

	Im surprised EA Sports chose to go back to this way of recruiting and im really excited about it but also confused as to why they didn't make this a separate OPTION for people. I for one hated the time consuming, pitch finding/hard selling every week but I know there are others who loved it. Its going to be a tough transition for them.

I don't think it will be a hard transition. I personally love the depth recruiting has as a hardcore player of this mode myself, and you don't really lose anything with the Power Recruiting. It's just less time consuming. The depth is still there in regards to dynamic pitches, player interests, visits (actually there is more depth to visits,) and pipelines.

Nice changes to recruiting. However, were any changes made to Custom Conferences at all? Any other dynasty elements added like a Spring Game?

Or is it just the recruiting overhaul and tweaks to Coaching Carousel?

# 70 BleedGreen710 @ 05/28/13 12:27 PM

wow thanks AJ!

# 71 slingblade73 @ 05/28/13 12:27 PM

Has the squat glitch been corrected?

Yes, you will still be able to recruit from the web. Also, scouting is based on points instead of time. So you will still have to sacrifice recruiting points if you want to scout. Scouting isn't super expensive though.

# 73 Jeremy.Horne.SC @ 05/28/13 12:34 PM

Very unimpressed. Typical EA.

# 74 dlk90514 @ 05/28/13 12:35 PM

AJ, can you still make promises to recruits?

# 75 muckcity @ 05/28/13 12:39 PM

Is the cap in OD still at 12 AJ?????

# 76 kingsofthevalley @ 05/28/13 12:40 PM

Did my eyes deceive me or did that RB turn the corner into the endzone without ice skating? It actually looked like he was running on the ground and not a sheet of ice. If I really just observed that, now we're talking. Need more videos.

# 77 jeremym480 @ 05/28/13 12:44 PM

I'm in the process of listening to the podcast now. There's some interesting tidbits so far. For example: if you have two QB's visit the same week it will have a negative impact on both players. Also I there are "complimentary visits" so you would want to have a good OL or WR visit the same week as your QB.

And of course as I'm typing this the podcast craps out.

# 78 TreyDobbs @ 05/28/13 12:48 PM

AJ, I've got a concern that I hope was addressed in NCAA 14. When I was HC of Louisville in NCAA 13, I won three straight conference titles and ended up being fired after my third consecutive conference title because I did not complete a goal of 1,000 rushing yards or something like that. Will users be fired from jobs for silly things like that? I found it ridiculous that any real-life head football coach would be fired from a job because they didn't rush for X number of yards in a season even though they won championships. I'll sit back and wait for a response. Thanks!

# 79 EASPORTS_AJ @ 05/28/13 12:48 PM

Alright guys, that's all I have time for right now. We have some blogs going up later with more details on the new features. The video is obviously just an overview.

Those should answer a lot of these questions.
