Recruiting on NCAA 07

[utvol0427]

Does anyone find that it is way to easy to recruit on NCAA 07? Every year I have the number 1 recruiting class with about 8-10 5 Star players and then the rest are four star players. I wish they would make it a little more realistic. Make it a little harder to recruit. I usually have 9-10 players commited before the season is even over.

Don't know how you do it. I understand getting the #1 class, but how so many 5 stars.

I have gotten 8 once, and just enought to lock up the gamerscore.

I can't recruit for $h!t

It is ridiculously easy for me. I have my % points set at 50% for recruiting, 30% for training, and 20% for discipline. I haven't ever had a problem recruiting, not only on this years game, but on any of the previous years games.

1. You're at a big-time program to begin with, which means big-time recruits come relatively easy. I think there's only 20 schools in the game that start off with the 6-star program level?

2. I also find recruiting to be ridiculously easy (from the get-go with a big-time school, and after a couple years with a smaller school). It thusly becomes very boring for me, so I don't even bother with it. I just play the games. Gives me more of a challenge if I don't have the top recruits every year. Makes it more realistic.

Yea 07 is too easy, 06 was a little harder, but I still have never not gotten the number 1 class...getting 10-12 5 stars and the rest 4 is nothing to me.

How is it you do that and still don't manage the number one class??!?!

[ardent enthusiast]

I'll let the computer recruit as well if I find myself playing more than a season or two.

Problem for me is I lose some interest when I lose current Vols off the roster.

You do have to spend recruiting points to retain players that may want to leave early for the draft, but still, you can keep them around and then skip the whole recruiting process.

if you want recruiting to be a bit more challenging, you can turn the "recruiting assistance" option off in settings. at least i think that it where it is

[utvol0427]

Recruiting assistance is off. I don't ever play with it on. I wish it didn't have the "Discipline" feature on the game. It is stupid when you have to suspend a player for two or three games because he was late to a class. Then your "NCAA Interest" goes up and then you lose schollys becasue you had a few players that were late to a class.

All the cpu assistance does is take care of it automatically, as long as you don't open the recruiting window. Just simulates.

hmm... Doesn't more program discipline add to your school's academic rating? Which in turn leads to fewer disciplinary problems? I think the whole notion of limited disciplinary points is stupid. There needs to be a better method for that stuff in place.

I think they need to take it out. They are trying to make the game too "realistic". On Madden you can't play a season for all of the other crap on there. They need to keep the games somewhat simple.
