AI schools will continue recruiting after signings begin and only go after undecided recruits

it seems changes are being made just to screw with the enjoyablility of the game... One of my favorite things to do was scour the unsigned lists after being beaten on a top recruit of two. Now this will be more difficult to do.. I guess it improves realism, but I really dont lke it. What it means in reality is that drop downs will be harder to get (few chances after signings start) and that coaches who get beaten will no longer have as many fallback optoins.

this will also have a huge domino effect on D2 dropdowns and thus on D3 as well, as more D2 schools will reach down and take more players that would've dropped down.

This is a great thing... DII and DIII recruiting is pathetic... maybe now teams might battle over the initial recruiting pool (more like DI recruiting, but with some dropdowns)

100% agreed.

Defensive much, pork?

i like firm release dates

take some viagra then, if you're having that type of problem.

but anything more than 4 hours - you might want to call your doctor

anything less than 4 hours is unusual for me.

Yet you continually quote every post I make in every thread and add absolutely nothing to any knowledgeable discussion around here. Did you even attempt to get the point I am trying to make? You are probably not used to listening to us idiot factory workers, so I will give you another shot at it.

Man, that line really irked you didn't it VD? Glad your obsession is still in tact.

baums, hope you enjoy your 4th season of HD. It is coming from me because if they leave a loophole I will be the one exploiting it just to **** YOU off. Close it and move on to something that really needs to be changed.

godmaker was doing this 20 seasons ago and he was idolized (Even given his own user interview). Strange how things work out.

Power out.

How did this not need to be changed? People were using ridiculously cheap and unrealistic tactics and winning championships. It was easily one of the biggest problems in HD.

This fix *should* reduce the probability. The reason why some teams experienced early entries is because their classes weren't balanced in the first place.

Since more experienced players tend to have better ratings/perform better, a good team with 6 juniors and 1 senior has a higher chance of losing a junior than a team with 3 seniors and 3 juniors. That's because the 6 will be counted on to contribute more as juniors than the three juniors would be on the team with 3 seniors.

Balanced classes will reduce the probability because (in theory) losing a junior who is a NT team's fourth option (in terms of ratings and/or stats) is less likely to occur than losing a junior who is a NT team's highest rated player.

I disagree. A large junior class losing a few players balences their rosters, while losing juniors when you already have a balenced class unbalences that class. I tend to lose juniors more when i have balenced classes. Balenced classes tend to require a bigger role for underclassmen, thus increasing their chance to leave early as well.

Say I have 4 seniors, 1 walk-on. If I lose 2 players to the NBA thats one player I lost early that I have no chance of replacing because I can only sign 6 players. I think that is unrealistic/bs to lose a player to the NBA but have no chance of replacing him.

Wouldn't your four highest rated, best performing players be the four seniors? That's my point. If you have 3-4 seniors, they will be your highest rated players and best performing players wouldn't they? That's assuming they were good recruits to begin with and have progressed nicely. If so, I don't see how those four would be less apt to be drafted in favor of a junior.

For example, assume you have four seniors who are rated in the 800s (with good core ratings) and all average 10 ppg or more. Your 750 rated junior who averages 7 ppg would be less apt to jump.

Now, if your junior has higher core ratings and/or is more critical to your team than the four seniors, then you would have a problem.
