You can sign players for just a scholarship offer if no one else has put in any effort, so the big worry over unlocking visits only applies in a battle, and also only applies when overreaching and/or bad preference matches.

I still think the attention points need some adjusting for sure. hopefully they will address this. I have well over 300 AP for a fairly low ranked recruit but since he apparently doesn't match well in terms of preferences he's not allowing me to do a home visit, etc (he wants to go far away and one other negative, but all other 5-6 preferences are 'neutral')..... He is not considering any other school, so he could actually sign without HV, but seems kinds silly given his "high interest" in my school.

basically, I think the leverage on preferences needs to be relaxed a bit or more qualified recruits need to be generated. If preferences are this strong, it further decreases the recruit pool

I don't think he changed the recruting format its still the same for home visists and campus visists.

this is why new players shouldn't be taken seriously when they talk about the beta because they say stuff like that

I did 3 home visits and got a recruit to very high and he is a top 60 division 1 player. http://test.whatifsports.net/whatifsports/hd/RecruitProfile/Ratings.aspx?rid=53428

can't see his potential which is besides the point as recruiting is at best cousins to what we have now in terms of methods to recruit yes we have CV and HV but you have much less and now you have AP and preferences.

I assumed you were at a DIII school commenting on a top 60 recruit considering your school, but your at E. Carolina? Thats DI, thats the guy you should probably be recruiting.

I expect more from you coachward

where's the coach personality preference for recruiting? coachward would put Kentucky recruiting to shame with a team full of nothing but #1 players at their position.

Lol!

I'm in the beta but could not do anything the past week, so just starting

can anyone tell me how I can find out the labels on the columns of player attributes - I see OFF, DEF and four columns of letters, but cant see what each column means. I thought I would try last minute recruiting now - as a useful experiement - but cant do anything useful. Again, stymied and frustrated and ready to bail.

My rotiserie baseball team may get more attention......

never mind, I give up - spent an hour on the beta and a host of things take much more effort. Takes extra clicks to see what teams a recruit is considering - rather than being displayed on player card. Nonsense. No reason to make the game require more effort for every step.

Life is short. I'm fine with the concept of adding texture to recruiting. I have urged that for years. But so far as I can tell, this new vision of recruiting includes a host of inefficient and pointless added steps.

Not a game for me. If the beta launches before I use up my seasons and credits, guess there will just be some ghost ships.....
