Hi,

Is there a minimum game requirement a recruit must start if they are promised a starting position?

I try to hit 22 of the first 26 games. Some say if you get behind early, and get a disgruntled email, it's hard to win them back over. 22 out of 26 has never failed me. Good luck.

21/26 was the long agreed upon “golden number”. It’s closer to 6 games.


1. Don’t start until complaint
2. Start after they complain for 6 games (or until you get the okay)
3. Back to the bench they go

I’ve tested a bit with some other coaches. Limited sample size but looks good so far.

yea im on the same page as upsetcity. whether it's promised starts or minutes, just **** them off early, then deliver until they send the "thank you!" email, and then do whatever you want from there - they're essentially locked in.

something else i have a limited sample on is that complaints will not come late, particularly if you have fewer than 6 regular season games remaining. i assume this is because there isn't enough time to make up for the broken promises so if you haven't gotten a complaint email by the near-end of the regular season, you're probably free and clear. i haven't tested this robustly, but i've noticed it anecdotally and it checks out in terms of how the system seems to function
