Uh, that's why I quoted THAT post.
A) He was agreeing with you
B) A 2nd agreed
C) A 3rd agreed

That's when I said "I don't have to look but I bet all 4 have A+ D1 teams."

You FOUR were forming a conga line. That's not one, that's FOUR.

just because he said was agreeing with me does not mean it was correct. I guess your reading comprehension is bad. Go back and look at my posts throughout this thread man. You clearly need some help. I did not ever say C schools should have no chance if an A puts in minimal effort.

Just because some guy says he agrees with me doesn't mean what he said in his post is something I agree with. LEARN TO READ!

If you can show me 1 instance of me actually saying A schools should be handed recruits with minimal effort compared to a C school going all-in please show me.

Don't show me a post where another person says he agrees with me but then goes on to say C's should have no chance (because that is not agreeing with what I have consistently said in this thread).

You changed your demand. You asked for one instance of one user saying what he said about A/C. I provided three of them. Don't pretend like you don't recall what you asked.

0%, should not be able to get past moderate (assuming everything else is equal like you say preferences, effort, all-in on visits), otherwise what the hell is prestige even worth now? The C team shouldn't be that dumb to be going after a guy they know an A+ team will be willing to go all-in on.

That being said with my A+ UCLA squad I have had trouble knocking C prestige teams from High even when I go all-in and have perfect preference match (or at least better than the C team).

I'm not saying guys should just be handed to A+ teams like in the old game but I feel the competition should moreso be coming from B prestige or better squads. I find it crazy how I see some really good players going to SIM schools that these C prestige schools could be cleaning up with but instead they devote all their resources to battling an A+ for a player they have no preference advantage on or anything of that nature. IF they focused on these next tier of guys they could get 1 great class and be on their way to bettering their prestige. It's alot easier for them to get these guys too because most of the A and B schools are focused on battling each other for the very top guys now, instead of in the past where you basically just had to go down the ladder because it was pretty pointless to battle if you were more than a letter grade difference.

What if I told you I was one of those C schools that challenge you! Yep you got Henry Innes from me. I never considered going on a battle against you, i did the research to see you really diversify your targets especially in the guard so I thought you may not prioritize him so much to recruit him and he could be mine. But once I saw that you were giving a push despite all my efforts, that was the time to realize you push to the end and I had no shot, so I had to let go and move on to a new player.

Also It's my first period 1 stage recruitment in the 3.0 version so I never truly experienced the feeling for how the recruiting system works, but even then I went under the 'dont battle A+ school' logic if I knew such school will want to ensure he gets the player.

Anyways no hard feelings, I knew to expect these things and like in life, you just need to expect that you don't always get plan A so move on to plan B.

It was pretty hard dropping you to moderate and I used up almost all of my visits (18 HV, 1 CV) plus like 600 AP and I had preference advantage...it sure seemed like you put in alot of resources on him??? But you're saying you didn't? I could be wrong but I figured you had to have definitely gone all in on visits to stick around that long. Hell I had to offer a start and 20 minutes to him to drop you from High to Moderate. Btw he was my #1 target from the start. I like to go after the top Cali guys because outside of there the distance can start to get kind of far. I knew I was going all out for him and King.

No problem with you going after him though since that is the way the new game works obviously. I just see some real solid players out west getting signed by SIMS and non-west coast schools and I'm like damn some of these mid-level prestige teams could really bring in a great class if they focused on these type of guys.
