I am at high level D1-AA. Recruiting starts today and I have 115 total recruits on my watch list. 79/115 are already considering SIM schools before I even get to start recruiting.

That leaves 36 recruits that are undecided. 11 of those undecided are LB's and 9 are TE's. The two easiest positions to recruit. Zero QB's are undecided, Zero DL. So, 20/115 are undecided after you take away the LB and TE. 10 of those 20 have low work ethic rating.

There are a lot of things about GD that could be fixed, this should be high on the priority list.

I agree that there probably should be more undecideds here, especially at key positions, but actually don't mind this scenario too much. You know you can get a guy from the sims if you're willing to spend the cash, but if you try to knock off too many sims, you may not have the funds to battle for other top recruits. It really forces you to budget your recruiting, instead of getting into a free for all battle for a bunch of undecided guys.

There are several things in GD I would like changed, but I think they have a good recruiting engine.

nitros

Recruiting is enjoyable, but 7 days is way too long. Guys not signing for 72 hours is too long. More undecided at Key positions needs to be tweaked.

Agree with all these points Jayhawk. I think recruiting could be done with 48 hours pre-signing and 48 hours post-signing. Done in 4 days.

I think it would be interesting to have recruits consider anyone including other humans. Not sure why it was set to only sims in the first place instead of randomly any 3 teams.

Great point, genuvar. That would be interesting.

Would be interesting, genuvar. I also think each Division should have their own "world" of recruiting. D1 can't see D1-AA...D1-AA can't see D2....etc.

Or how about you just remove the "restriction" that lower divisions cant sign someone outside of their vision. Theres tons of players, especially in the cracks between D2 and D1AA, that go unsigned because nobody could see them at D2.

Its nice to dream about all of the possibilities...

That's like Hoops Dynasty. It works fine, but is really designed for worlds with more human coaches.
