The recruit should be able to distinguish between what offenses are run for each team, and factor that in when visiting.Quote:

What's new with equipment this year? Are there more items? And what's the deal with sleeves? I saw that FSU has the ones they actually wear. Are many schools going to have custom sleeves?

I shouldn't be penalized for bringing that many because chances are, they will start at some point. Or, let's say I run an offense alternating RB's frequently, will I be penalized for bringing two RB's during recruiting? Will the recruit also factor in depth chart and how old/young players are while on visits? For example, if two highly rated WR's comes to visit and they see that I have three senior WR's playing, they have a really great chance to BOTH start the following season for my team depending on what the younger guys look like and how good those guys are. The recruit should be able to distinguish between what styles of offense are run for each team, and factor that in when visiting as well.
EDIT: Sorry for the double post, went back in to make edits to my original, and I must have pressed the wrong button. So, it duplicated it. Still trying to brush off the cobwebs with posting again! :blush:
That's a huge help, honestlyQuote:

Assuming EA doesn't go into detail of it during one of the blogs the rest of this week, we'll be sure to check into it once we get the game.Quote:

I am not sure. I don't think so. The only change in searching that I know of is instead of filtering Top 10, 8, etc. it's by lock %, but that wasn't in yet in March as I just had suggested it at the community day, so we may not know for sure til the game hits, unless EA covers it or shows a screen shot.Quote:

NCAA's system right now is WAY better than Madden's imo. Madden needs to make formation subs a menu that can be changed outside a game.Quote:

Yes. You'll have a bucket of points to use in the Preseason. Obviously you won't be calling so the bucket will be only for scouting.Quote:

also, has there been any update to the depth chart? added depth slots? or is it still one depth chart to fit every kind of playing style possible?
Depth charts and formation subs remain the same to my knowledge which obviously means no custom packages.
I'd love it in the future if both NCAA and Madden had 3rd down back (Madden does), Goalline back (we can use goalline formation subs but does the cpu do that?) and pass rush DL. Having a pass rush package for DL would be big imo.Quote:

I wouldn't expect a whole lot to change in that department. There will be some changes to the CPU playcalling and that may impact what you're seeing, but I don't believe they set out to have specific schemes for each team.Quote:

Yes they will have skills. Not 100% sure how it will be implemented though.Quote:

Probably E3 or shortly before/after.
I have pre-orederd from GameStop for years now and have never got any of the deals. Why is that?? Does it not work with pre-ordering from in store?
Your preorder codes and etc should be on your receipt on preorders from Gamestop. That's the way I've always have experienced preordering from them.Quote:

Are the recruit's "bonus factors" known while initially establishing a recruiting board? Or is there still some system to "learn" which factors are most important to the new recruit? Last year for instance, instead of making a pitch there was an option to "Find Importance".
Finally that safeties are included as "competitive visits". How does this potentially negatively effect recruiting 4-2-5 or 3-3-5 defenses? I notice that safeties are singled out as 3+ creates a "competitive visit" while other positions (DE, DT, CB) which play no more than 2 on the field in a base defense does not have such a limit. Also the inclusion of WR as a "competitive visit" when some teams regularly play with 4 or 5 on the field at a time seems counter-intuitive. Especially when, for instance, no team plays with more than 2 DEs at once, or DTs, or CBs, or OLBs, or MLBs, or OTs, or OGs, especially not Cs. Will a team such as Georgia Tech (regularly playing with 2 HBs on the field at once) be set to the same "competitive visit" limit as Missouri, who frequently lines up without a HB on the field? While Missouri is equally hampered by the WR limit?
Just answered my own question. #ReadMore
Gotcha man. Appreciate it!Quote:

Obviously we'll be experimenting with some of this stuff ourselves once we get the game, but wanted to share their answers in the meantime.
1. With changes to recruiting, I'd the CPU more competitive and intelligent with how they recruit? For example on 13 most felt that in OD, if you wanted a player and targeted him earlier enough, the CPU had very little chance to get him... you only had to worry about fellow humans. As well, do they still end up signing multiple players at the same position (ie 3 QBs)?
EA - The CPU will show a sense of competition, especially if that prospect is one of their top prospects. The CPU should not be over-signing prospects.
2. With slowest xp progression, what level would a typical coach end the first season be?
EA - The choice of team can lend itself to the success of the coach and how many levels they will obtain, along with: having an excellent season, with setting school or NCAA records, mindful distribution of accumulated skills, good draft class results, having a good signing class and very good success on the field, throughout the season.
A HC of a 5 star team, on varsity difficulty, could see up to level 5 - 6, by the end of the first season, while a HC of a 1 star team (GA State or UMass) could reach level 3 - 4.
In an internal OD, we saw User Head Coaches (3 star teams) reach levels up to level 11 (ranging 7-11), on All American difficulty with Normal progression. The level 11 user had one loss and went to the National Championship.
Thanks G!
I assumed if playing on All American and starting with a 1 Star team slow progression would be the way to go for longevity's sake.
if there's a team need though, does the cpu still only take the first recruit to sign? many times on 13, the cpu dumped elite recruits because a lower caliber recruit signed with them and eliminated a team need (like MLB, FS, etc). i've seen 5* players get dumped because a 3* signed first. i almost wish that the cpu had a way of telling a recruit to hold off on his commitment. it would help ensure that the elite recruits get a spot on the elite teams.Quote:

Agreed on the recruiting deal. The lower rated recruit is going to be faster in most instances to commit to the bigger CPU teams, leaving the elite guys without a scholly, even if they're first on that school's list at the time.Quote:

That's why we have the progression slider.Quote:
