hope nobody snipes him lol

He signed. The thing that killed me is that it took 15 cycles for him to accept a HC visit. 13 cycles to accept a AC visit. WTF was that all about?

In the last tweaking of the game,there has to be a glitch.  I have a TE that my AC scouted during the season and he comes up green on the first day.  I give him a phone call and offer him a scholly.  He'll be my 3rd stringer, so not a big deal, but he is still grean and has not signed.  WTF.  I thought those 4 players that the AC scouts, counted as good.  BTW way got a response back from customer service that they are considering a minor update that would address sim ai budgets.  That is for anybody that is interested.

This came up before, AC in-season scout doesn't count as a face-to-face meeting. Your recruit will not sign unless you send him another AC Scout action.

Then what good is the AC scout in season.  Does the AC and HC work together on anything in this game?  Gee i cant imagine why people quit and dont come back.  If thats the case, then why bother even seeing what your AC says in an email.  Oh well, just anohter thing that needs to be fixed about recruiting, but I'm in the minority because everybody thinks recruiting is fine and the whole problem lies in the "engine".  This is flat out "Bullshit"!  I cant wait for the previous user (jfootball) to explain or try to explain how this relates to real life.

Cheers

You should only send scouting trips to undecided recruits until they consider you.  For an AC scout and 3 HC scouts or less, he'll consider you...and he'll accept them every time.  You might save 100 bucks or so by sending an HC home visit instead, but it isn't worth the risk of him rejecting them.

I don't even bother looking at the AC recruits. Just delete them from my summary when it's time to recruit real players. They did that I guess for window dressing... but I hear in D1 it's the opposite. The AC recruits are too good and usually only the Elite teams have a shot at them. Either way, if you want this guy, send and AC scout.

He was 1000+ miles away from me. I kept trying to send him an AC Visit because it was a lot cheaper than the HC visit or a CV. Took me 13 tries to get him to accept a ACV, and then the ****** was still Undecided! Took me 2 more tries to get the HCV accepted. Then he turned green and I signed him.
