So far, I haven't found it that much more time consuming at all because scouting and recruiting don't need to happen immediately. I'm still not a fan of the new scouting process, but there are ways to do it quickly and efficiently. I like the new recruiting process for the most part,, especially recruiting throughout the season.
I don't see how it has to be super-time consuming when you are basically just placing attention points on a player and leaving them there if you want (though you have the option to increase or decrease them). I missed 3 days of checking in to this game due to a trip last weekend, and it didn't negatively affect me a whole lot.
A lot of coaches are missing how attention points work, and therefore spending way too much time on recruiting assigning and re-assigning attention points over and over again. Recruiting isn't really that time consuming IMO. Scouting can be, but if you just hold your own camp and then do some assistant searches, you end up being able to look at good info on many recruits. (FSS seems to be the crappiest option in this new game IMO, and some coaches might be frustrated by that as well)
The biggest problem is seble disappearing after releasing the beta because the process of learning how to use some parts of the scouting/recruiting processes are not intuitive, and due to the bad reputation on the forums of 3.0, many don't have the patience to learn how to play the new game efficiently. If this game had a "tutorial mode" that could be clicked "on/off", that would help some folks a lot IMO.
Those who want to learn the new game.....reading chapelhill's post should really help. I think many have already assumed and/or decided that it is a disaster though.
I'm also not saying 3.0 is a huge improvement either....but I don't think it makes the game worse (unless a huge percent of the humans leave). Again, a dev chat would be nice, but Seble seems to be awol, so that hurts.

They actually did just post they're having a dev chat next week but I agree with this 1000%. They just said, here you go! and let the users create guides and help each other out on what to do. In the words of AVGN "what were they thinking??"
not sure if there were things that happened that were out of their control but they should have INCREASED communication and support right before and during the roll out. Glad they're doing the dev chat now at least.
