gschwendt, I think you mentioned that Juco players are now a viable option, from what you've seen how much more overall or just skilled are these Juco prospects?

I couldn't give you an OVR rating indication but I will say that at times, I'll be scrolling through a bunch of players at a certain position by looking at players one by one (and then flicking the R-stick to goto the next) when all of a sudden I'll see one player that really stands out to me as a guy I want to go after. I'll back out of the player ratings screen and back to the recruits list only to see that he's a JUCO (btw this year it lists whether they're a JR or SO). It definitely makes you stop and try to make a decision.Originally Posted by DrManateePhD

Have you seen an influx in players giving soft verbals to one school and changing their minds last minute (especially in top tier prospects). I'm also assuming we no longer can give additional promises in the offseason since we are able to give them at any time. Oh, and how is the pass rush?
I think soft verbals are about the same this year. One thing I noticed regarding them is that once they're soft verballed, you're going to have to really stay on them in order to sway them. There were two players soft verballed to different schools. Every week it told me I was one point behind the school they were soft-verballed to but no matter how much I gained every week, I stayed 1 point behind. Obviously it's some sort of wall that once a player is locked onto a school, you're going to have to continue to fight for them. However, in both cases, I ended up signing the player in the offseason recruiting at the last week. Not sure what put them over the edge but I offered them the world early on.
As for promises, you're correct. You can only offer those three promises. You can do so at any point in the recruiting process.
Thanks for the info. How about the pass rush, are you able to get to the QB effectively with your Ark st team against the big boys, i.e the Auburn game you played?
I wouldn't say effectively but enough to not let him sit back there and pick me apart. I didn't get any sacks but I at least put some pressure on him.
I might be misinformed about this, but isn't the ESPN U 150 determined by player potential? So the #1 prospect might not be the most 'skilled,' but he has the most potential for growth?
I believe it's OVR rating + Potential is how they determine that. So a player might be already really highly rated with zero potential and still be the #1 prospect. Alternatively, you could see a decent rated player with great potential be the #1 prospect.
Is the potential hidden or is their a rating for it?
it's been hidden in the past, I believe it'll still be in NCAA 11. though someone with the game would have to confirm that.
It's completely hidden from the user both during recruiting and after they're on your team. You just have to take a gamble and see if they pay off.
Personally what I'd like to see with potential is that after they've been on campus for two years, the potential rating unveils itself. Similar to a coach having a player on campus that long knows whether they player has the potential to get better or if he's reached his peak.
Furthermore doesn't a player reaching his potential have to do a bit with your program prestige, because isn't said prestige proportional to how players improve during off season training? I like that idea though gschwendt, so you can better gauge how a player has grown.

Any word/thoughts on is there any "penalty" for setting your hum DL to "aggressive". i haven't seen my d-line jump offsides yet in the demo and they always "jump the snap"
I've only played 1-2 games with my DL set to aggressive for the whole game and so far I don't think I've seen them jump either. Granted, these were against the CPU which might not be doing a fake snap as often as a HUM player.
One thing that does seem to stick out to me, and that I'm hearing some people comment on is the number of broken tackles in situations where it seems like the defender has the ballcarrier dead to rights. Do you sense that it's overdone, or no?
Have you had much success with the new screen plays, in particular the bubble screens? They seemed to work moderately well on the demo, but I just wonder how well they're working (along with the other screens) as you try to incorporate them into a playcalling system. Do they seem to work against the stuff they should work against, without being overpowered? I remember on '09 where about a quarter of the HB screens would go for 30+ yard gains.
Has EA implemented neutral site games such as the Chick-fil-A Kick-Off Classic in Dynasty mode?
I think the only neutral site games are Army-Navy, Colorado-Colorado State, Florida-Georgia, and Texas-Oklahoma.
So K-State vs Iowa State and Mizzou vs Kansas, both at Arrowhead, are now played at one of the school's homes?
I would assume so.
