thanks

I'll try to dig into Dynasty a bit deeper tonight or tomorrow but one new addition is that names that were submitted to be able to hear Nessler to announce them during a game a couple of years ago... those are now all added to the database that is used to generate recruits & coaches. So... you might end up recruiting a player with the last name Gschwend at some point

So 4*or 5* ATHs or 4* or 5* Athletic players will have a high SPARQ?
So should I stay away from players with low SPARQ

probably not because the AI will be set so that the Gschwend character keeps going to Ark State no matter what

Are 2 and 3 star players actually viable at Big boy schools?

it depends on what you are looking for... for example most positions require a special skill like "catching"... you might recruit player XYZ who has a SPARQ rating of 93 [SPARQ tests sport related athleticism not necessarily skills like "catching"] but XYZ only has a catch rating of 70...so he's big, fast, and agile but has mediocre hands.... meanwhile player ABC has a lower SPARQ orating of 85...but a catch rating of 88...so he's slower, less agile, and not as strong...but has better hands than XYZ

if you are looking for pure athleticism grab the high SPARQ rated players.... if you care more about a certain skill...look at that

[illwill10]

Great explanition, Speed Power Agility Reaction Quickess.I wont care for them, then I will only worry about High SPARQ players is for KR/PR or just for athleticism. But I will not pass up on 100+ player if they are intersted.
So a 100+ SPARQ is a freak of nature

so is it just a different recruiting service type of thing (like rivals, scout, etc)....only instead of ranking the best "football" players (like scout/rivals), they rate the kids with the best athleticism?

[huntt26]

Can you edit who your impact players are, or is that done by the game?

Nice, I like this addition.

Ryno has a new video with end of season stats and they look so good. The better RBs are now averaging in the upper 6's and QBs are running for over 1000 yards!

Darron Thomas won the heisman and I went and checked his stats in the game from last years stats and his passing yards were only like 30 yards off from what it was in real life..incredible.
