NCAA Football 14 Recruiting Guide

This is a guest post from forum user JLoco11. Be sure to check him out on his arena page here on OS.

I did quite a bit of testing this weekend with recruiting and the skill tree to get an idea of how things will work when I do my normal dynasty (after the rosters are completed). I simmed multiple first seasons of dynasty with different level teams, progression rates and recruiting methods and gained a decent amount of knowledge in doing so.

Here�s a very early guide for those interested in some recruiting tips. As your skill tree changes, so will your need to choose different recruiting tactics.

SS- put 1535 pts on him. Lost by 575 points to Colorado. Colorado did not even put pts on him and he was not even on their list(I have recruiting reports feature)?????? Only thing I can think of is I had already signed a good SS during the season. So he went where he could play? IDK 3. HB- I screwed this one up and did the math wrong. Stupid. Lost by 95 points. If I would have done it right I would have won this. 100 point error 4. OLB- Put 1450 on him. But he never signed anywhere. He was only like 50% locked, maybe he needs to be 100 to sign even in offseason? 5. WR- I really wanted this one I put 2780 on him. Lost by 550. USC got him by only dividing their pts into 4 recruits. I expect this to happen from time to time. 6. QB- Finally I signed someone. Put 1505 and won by 1000+ Not what I was hoping for☹️

Thanks for posting. I have stuff like this happen all the time. The way I do it, is pick 3-5 based on needs or who I want and than catergorize based on wants, if I am up by more than a 1000 than I put in 2000 and use the extra points on the ones I feel I need the most. This works for me like 95% of the time.

Question about #4....
Does anyone have a clue about this? If I know a guy needs roughly 6000 points to be locked during the season and I go into the offseason at 50% locked will he not sign with me if I don't at least put the other 3000 points needed to lock him?

Glitch. I treat those as they don't qualify.

Another question someone may have figured out: (before I spend 3 hrs on it)

A recruit is at 73% as some schools have him on the board but no one has offered a scholarship. I'm in the middle of the pack, several thousand down going into the offseason. All I do is offer a scholarship in the offseason. What are the chances that I offer a scholarship and get him without spending any points? Zero? Slim? Decent?

I think you can get him if no one offers. Just recently I had offered a guy and never put any points on him and he signed at the end of offseason recruiting. Not sure if I was at the top of the list or in the middle though.
