I call BS on seble saying the sims didn't get to recruit. I had a recruit that I was red to for 2-3 cycles and then finally got yellow on Tuesday night late. Now that I had him yellow and considering finally I put down 50% PT and FR start just to see if that would possibly get him to "leaning my way" to start the signing cycle. Now I check in and he's signed with the sim. WTF!!! I'm ****** off about this and almost positive sims got to recruit, maybe the effort didn't go into those 2 cycles but carried over to this past one so even though they only recruited once like WIS says the effort was triple?
Either way it is bullshit!

I think they got to recruit in the 6-9AM and the 9AM-12PM yesterday when most human coaches couldn't. Only thing I was able to do during those times was get Scholarships offered to those I hadn't yet. I think they should have just given the recruit to a human coach if only sims were on them too.

I spoke to support last week about recruiting and issues/ideas. They admitted that GD recruiting needed an overhaul but it would be too cumbersome to do anytime soon. They mentioned using a point system like Hoops Dynasty does. Recruiting is the most fun and almost the most infuriating part of GD. There could definitely be some tweaks.

Sims shouldn't get a head start. Every recruit should be undecided when the first cycle for humans start. Spending 15-20k (sometimes more) to get recruits away from Sims is ridiculous.

I wonder if SIMS have a certain total "amount of effort" they are able to spend on recruits? Kinda BS how they are able to recruit nationally even at DII.

Wait until you get to D1AA and D1A where there are hardly any undecideds to start.

Yeah I remember. That's one of 2 reasons why I won't ever play those levels again. The other being the job security BS. Schools would rather have a SIM coach each year and go 3-10 then have a human coach take them 8-5...stupid.

That's said. Hoops Dynasty recruiting is crap. Top 200 guys at there position signing with D-3 and D-2.... Change it to that and the game dies. Nothing wrong with recruiting.

As weak as SIM teams are now, do we really want to intentionally make them weaker?

You screwed up WIS and you should make it right. Only reason I didn't put a lot more effort to green recruit was making sure I was ahead on other battles. There goes a waste of $18k- ****** me off!

Best thing GD has going for it is the recruiting.

I was thinking that too. If they didn’t start out on some decent recruits, it would be way more lopsided than it already unrealistically is. It actually takes a smidgeon of strategy, budgeting and more importantly discipline the way it is currently setup. We’re putting up 100+ point games on the sims consistently, throw them a bone haha.

I don't play Hoops Dynasty, so I have no idea about their recruiting.
