I think there is a problem this season in PHELAN... Quality players seem rare, more than normally.

Ebb and flow of player generation. Sometimes a lot of good players, sometimes not.

It's hard to know. I expect you know this, but remember: there was no change in recruit generation logic. There were 2 significant changes in 3.0:
  1. The assignment of expected "Division" for a recruit was entirely re-written. I am fairly sure that everyone "sees" the same recruits as being originally assigned to each "Division"...except that:
  2. Recruits are now hidden and must be discovered. So, it is tough to tell whether recruits of "quality" were generated, but you have not discovered them (or they happen to be fewer locally than you might expect).

Yes. This was discussed at length in beta boards. The number of recruits generated is more than enough, and hasn't changed. Whatever bone you think you have to pick with recruit generation, the absolute number of recruits isn't it.

Well, maybe it's location then. Cause at D1, I can basically get all players within 500-600 miles.

I'm not sure if its saved somewhere but I compared the recruits generated by level in beta versus the current worlds at the time. It was indeed different.

I think they are generating enough. Enough D1 players for all three divisions. Nope. Enough D1' s for D1, enough D2' s for D2, and enough D3' s for D3? Yes.

I am starting over in Iba so I will be experiencing some of it myself in the next season.

This is basically it. Whether you like the changes or not, the fact is that there are fewer D1 rated players for the number of teams that could potentially recruit them.

whatever one thinks of this question, keep in mind that DI in 3.0 is rather empty because that is where the loss of coaches was concentrated

imagine how this would be if DI were better populated
