You can send scouting trips, though.
And disrupt someones recruiting as seen by the user that had all his recruits poached.

To play devil's advocate, it's to reel new users in, I suppose, to grow the userbase.

its actually the only reason I started playing this game, but that was before FSS was ever created.

I think freeHD is a necessary evil, you're not going to get new members in the door for $12.95 a season. And most won't give it a shot for $4.95. If somebody told you right now there was a new basketball game you needed to try, only $4.95 for like 2 months, would you do it? Most likely, no.

The "cheating" racket is best when you only pay $4.95 for your "other" team

you cant scout with freeHD? hmm, thats something, i guess. i think the scouting trips are massively more useful, saving dollar for dollar the whole way up, with fairly low amount of effort involved to get the money out, instead of the diminishing returns of scouting more and more, further and further from the other school. i thought colonels point was interesting, not that it really changes anything or makes it ok, that its a pain in the *** to scout on one team, go to the other, find the guy, add to the list, go back, scout more, etc, etc... ive used yatzrs tool for a while now, not for high d1 but elsewhere, and when i started a team under my gillispie2 account a while ago (san fran in tark, dropped, because i grabbed USC), i found all my dudes, went to mass recruit (add to watch list), and realized, i couldnt (didnt have the donor functionality on that ID). i tried to transfer everyone over by finding them state by state on san fran in the HD recruiting system, but it was SUCH a pain in the ***, i just gave up and did things manually from scratch. i do scout far and wide and put a crap ton of guys on my list, like 50 or 100 even, but still...

i think thats a perfectly good reason to have it, im not as much against freeHD as the combination of allowing freeHD while not allowing teams in different divisions "to stop FSS sharing", as seble puts it.

Exactly, and this is why I told people to try/do it for themselves...have an INFORMED opinion.

theres a code to use free seasons, which caused a major stir a while back, because there were people picking up ghost free teams all over the place just to grab FSS data and scout players with evals. the d3 worlds were 100% full in some places with half of all teams ghost shipped junk teams.

Can't FSS with $4.95 teams either. My first team was one of these last summer. Sneaky bastages.

Ahhh interesting...they gave me a credit to comeback to a user ID where I already had/used/played an HD season, so that probably had a lot to do with it.
