It's fine the way it is now. This is such a tiny "issue" for them to even care.
Do you actually believe that? This is a prime example of a big issue that can easily be fixed, but is largely ignored like the rest of the community's requests.
Yup, there would be no use for the fss if this change was made. Everyone talks about changes but things are fine. Could the game use some updates? Of course, but some things should just be left alone.
I feel pretty similarly but it is a minority opinion.
Well, certainly one could make an argument that this undermines FSS ... then again, FSS is a broad brush and it would not be very cost effective to use this instead of FSS for mass recruiting.
For example, one scouting trip costs between $150 and $180 for < 180 miles .. all of New Yoirk on FSS is
$1,762 for 339 recruits. This would mean for the same price as all of New York, you can only do 11 or 12 trips. You would likely need at least 2 for each recruit to get a complete picture (8 attributes). So, you can get a broad stroke for 339 recruits or details for 6 recruits at the same cost.
At Division-1, almost everyone would be able to FSS and then target recruits afterwards. I think that would obviously help the big name schools who have prestige advantages most. They would be able to more cheaply target the best of the best and there would be less chances of high-high guys dropping through the cracks.
But at Div-2 and Div-3, I don't think there is enough money to do FSS and enough scuting trips to lock down all the good recruits. So, I think at the lower levels, this will lead to two ways to recruit. Some guys will spend a bunch on FSS and they will know general red, blue, black info on a bunch of recruits .. and then there will be another group who will either not do FSS at all and look for and find guys via only trips. The trips only will be risky (you can't afford to do many that way).
I think this would open up Div-2 and Div-3 recruiting by making more recruits available to more people since trips cost more than FSS .. and this will increase the number of people not using FSS .. making FSS more valuable to the people that use it.
In any event, it could be good and it could be bad .. and recruiting works well enough now as is, so I don't think this is a huge deal either way. But I would like to see it (pick 4 attributes you can see), if I were voting yes or no.
