Had it happen with Coach Prestige as well.Quote:

Playing Style is the most common to display (0-0), though it doesn't always register as 0-0. I just had one register as 0-0, as Schauwn said, it was A+ to D-. Then I had an A+ to C- on the very next call, it showed 0-0 but finished with a difference of +128, -99.
Yeah, I've found two different scenarios. One where it shows that you will get 0-0 for the call and it still gives you points, this happens on any grade difference for whatever reason. And then there is the scenario that I mentioned before where you actually get 0 points, that I've only found happen on A+/D-
Lately I've been noticing it (the display of 0-0) on Playing Style and Coach Prestige. Those are the two pitches that are most likely to change from one week to the next. In fact, those might be the only ones (except Champ Contender) that can change in-season.
playing time changes, but only after a recruit commits to you. i had a DE start the year at an A+ in playing time, had 2 other DE's commit during the season, and now that DE's playing time is at a C-
Playing Time can also change with scouting. A player with an 80 OVR rating may have a B in Playing Time, but when he drops to a 72 that may drop his Playing Time assessment.
is there a "point cap"? or does every point matter in every phone call?
one of my recruits in this site's 360 OD is a kicker. last week i was in 4th place for this kicker and 320 points behind the 1st place school (i think texas tech). i ended up having a 930 point phone call with the kicker. this week, i find myself 1st place but only 120 points ahead of texas tech. thats a 440 point swing in my favor. but that still leaves me wondering about the other 500 points??? is it possible that texas tech got a 500 point phone call on this kicker?
otherwise, it seems that some of my points are being lost....or that every point earned in a phone call is not applied directly into what's shown in the recruit's top 10?
I 10000% believe there is, but it would be highly difficult to prove. But I absolutely believe it.Quote:

the recruiting point totals dont even make sense at all! in my recruiting spreadsheet, i keep track of the weekly increases/decreases in a lead or how far behind i am, and it doesnt even make sense at times.Quote:

You get credit for either having a player on your board or where he is on your board.
There's also some additional unknown I haven't figured out yet. We've all seen players who appear to not be getting recruited by anyone change their Top 10 over time. I also had a guy that I removed from my board, yet increased my lead on. I can't explain how either of those work.
I also track week to week, but I've pretty much given up on trying to explain it and just look at it as a indicator of trend.
I think there is alot of negative recruiting going on behind the scenes that we don't see. That's one of my explanations of why we don't see the point differences we are expecting. You don't know who is negative recruiting against who
what's everyone think? WR, CB, or Safety?

CB... His CIT is too low for wr (for me) and his STR/TKL is too low for safety, unless he's a centerfielder in a 335/425.Quote:

got a few weeks to think on this one. i have some commits who i havent scouted yet, and depending on how they turn up, it might alter my choice, but i'm leading towards WR. the 6'5" 96 speed is too tempting....that and it'll piss off JB in trying to cover this guy. :D
He's the type I hate in this game. If you put him at safety, especially centerfield, his BSH and MVs will piss you off. At WR, his CIT will suck.
FWIW, I have a similar guy st CB and his AGI doesn't kill him.
Though I'm always in favor of pissing JB off :D
Hey guys,
I have a question that's been killing my dynasty. I have all the CPU recruiting help turned off. I have 13 scholarships left going into signing day, with 13 guys that have me as #1 by at least 900 points. But at signing day, I end up losing about 7 of them (I've quit without saving about 3 times because at first I thought it was a glitch) because for some reason, a bunch of crapping recruits that have never been on my board and that I NEVER OFFERED SCHOLARSHIPS too commit and (I assume) take the spots of my guys, who then commit elsewhere.
Can anyone offer insight/assistance?
Thank you!
Unfortunately it's less of a case of the new commits pushing off the old recruits and rather the CPU needing to "cheat" in order to fill their board/needs so they steal your recruits. If you can't sign them before Week 5 of the offseason, there's a chance you won't get them. Next time, I'd take a look to see where your recruits ended up at and see if they didn't go to a school with only a handful of commits.
As for the new commits, that's a complaint that several have this year... guys that you never even talk to somehow sign with you on signing day even though you're already over the 70 player limit. That said, I have ended up with an 80 OVR freshman QB out of the blue like that.
Thank you for your quick response!Quote:

Thanks again
