Y'all are getting worked up over nothing. Can anyone cite an actual occurrence of someone taking advantage of alphabetical order to snipe a recruit?

I've done it a couple times with Texas, and once with LSU (amazingly enough). It's marginal, but there is a competitive advantage in being at the end of the alphabet. Only spud could be anti-fixing this.

Yup I did it. I wasn't on the list and then sent 20 HVs in one cycle right at the start of 2nd session. Its an obvious advantage.

I'm actually about to do it again when my 2nd session starts.

Yeah I did it with Vanderbilt last season. I signed Christopher Bowman.

Put 80 AP on him 1st cycle, opened up schollie. Put schollie and another 80 AP on him and was still VL but I opened up every action for the 5am cycle. Dropped 19 HV, 1 CV start and minutes at 5 am. Boom he's mine at 11am, Georgia Tech never saw it coming.

seriously, spud, you wonder why some people don't take you seriously...can't believe anyone would defend this as 'a feature not a bug' (basically). I've done it with South Carolina and took the other end of it with Arizona. this absolutely happens.

"A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways." ~~ wikipedia.

This is not a bug.

You're saying the situation of a team being able to hide from view and snipe later on, depending on their alphabetical standing, is not unintended? What would the gameplay reasoning be behind such a feature?

i seem to recall seble acknowledging this problem at the end of beta, something those of us who noticed assumed he would fix (or pass on to his successsors, once it was disclosed that he was gone). And not acknowledged in a "yeah, that's how we made it" sort of way.

He's the biggest joke of the forums. Been that way for awhile now.

but anyway. Easy fix. List alphabetically starting with humans. Done.
