I saw the post below from mullycy (thanks for catching this mully), and so I wanted to see if anyone has direct experience with what happens when you have 4 or more openings at the end of recruiting.
My questions are:
1) Does this actually happen? If so, are there conditions that trigger and/or prevent the occurrence?
2) If it does happen, do you recover the recruiting funds immediately, or do you have to wait until the following recruiting cycle?
My direct interest stems from the fact that I'm going to have 4 openings, and since the deadline to rescind scholarships occurs BEFORE this signing, an auto-signing (to get me down to 3 openings) will stick my team with a poor player. I'll rescind the scholarship as soon as possible, but if this won't increase my recruiting budget immediately, the auto-signing will destroy a full opening worth of scouting/recruiting power.
I'm hoping to learn asap so I can know what I'm up against with 3.0. Thanks for any fact-based insight you can give, and if this has been asked and answered before, forgive me for gumming up the forum. Good luck to everyone with their teams.
POST FROM MULLY:
AUTO SIGNING:
Human coached teams will now auto-sign players after recruiting ends to get to 3 openings or less. So, if a team has 5 openings, they would auto-sign 2 players. The auto-sign logic at the end of recruiting will only sign guys to teams at their projected level. That means teams won't get lucky with a leftover from a higher division, and also won't get stuck with a guy from a lower division.
