I thought I read a long time ago that starting promises do not apply to post season play (conf tournament and post season tournaments), is that correct?

I should know this considering how long I have been playing this game, but under HD 2.0 I rarely made promises to recruits, yet it seems like the only way to sign good players in HD 3.0 (for me anyway).

Yes

Sort of. Each recruit has roughly an 80% threshold for promises, meaning you need to start him about 80% of regular season games and play him roughly 80% of promises minutes. While promises do not carry over to postseason play you can make up some of that 80% threshold in your conference tournament games, if you were under that 80% threshold during the regular season.

26 games right Darnoc29099

The promises are based off of the 26 regular season games.

Thanks guys!

No problem enjoy the game and much success.

if you make promises and decide to try to satisfy the player with somewhat less than 100% starts, watch out

1. for drop in WE, if that happens he is trending toward unhappiness
2. an email from the player saying he is unhappy. If you get that, you risk transfer unless you ramp up your promise keeping
3. note, be sure to watch for that email - it could come in the midst of all the action unlock messages from recruiting - dont miss it

and good luck!
