Can someone help me find this play. It says HB Dive but I can't find that play in any I-Form like the video shows. Just Power O, HB Blast, and Iso but the LG doesn't pull like in the video,which makes the run work. Iso has the RG and RT double team but no pulling LG. Power O has the looks of it but it's Power O not a HB Dive ???
All I can tell you is to check Alabama's playbook.
I would assume so, but honestly I've never checked. Once I start my dynasty, I hardly ever play a game with another school. You can try it since you can always change it later.
No, the way it works is that it only plays if YOU are the home team. If you go to LSU, as a visitor, it won't play.
Now, if you play as LSU, at home, it'll play.
Doh...Thanks. I totally misread what he was asking.
Yep i did since that's Bama in the video, no HB Dive though and they only have one I-Form so I couldn't have missed it. :/
Thanks, that makes sense. I'll try it later.
How do you save individual slider sets without overwriting other files or previous sliders?
I got another recruiting question: When your looking over a recruits board, his list of top 10 schools, you see all the teams ranked by the prospects Interest/Lag column. It shows these bars and the numbers showing you how the schools rank from first to 10... I watched this video at 5:30 (click the bar a bit over to skip to that part) they explain how each prospect has a target number of points they want the schools to reach. Example: 3,000. You want to be the first one to 3,000 because that gives you the best chance of him signing with you. But others can reach that number and he can still change his mind so you gotta keep on calling them but whoever gets their first has the best chance, whoever gets their second get the second best chance, and so on and so forth...
So now's my question. The Interest/Lag column shows the bars in different colors.
<Click for bigger view
Most are Yellow with the bottom ones being Red. Now the numbers -120 for example tell you how far your behind the teams ahead of you but what does the colors actually mean? Because at some point the top team's bar will turn Green. Does that mean they have reached that target number?
So basically you want to be the first one to have your bar reach green, giving you the biggest chance of him signing with you but don't let up and stop calling because if the other team bars turn green they too have reached that target number and can pass you up because he can change his mind up to the last moment.
Also what's the soft commit. I haven't seen that yet...

Got another Question. I notice you can press B to hang up. Do you get the time back then say you go in with 6 topics for 60 minutes and hang up after the first pitch do you get that 50 unused minutes back?
Well it appears you are forced to have that generic fight song for your Team Builder's entrance music. I set a custom fight song under "Touchdown" in custom stadium sounds and I set it to all. There is no option to have custom music for an entrance so I was hoping that whatever was on the "touchdown" setting would also sever as the fight song the team runs out of the tunnel too. That's not the case though. My Team Builder Alabama still ran out to the generic fight song that apparently is assigned to every Team Builder squad. This sucks! How can you not allow us to choose what fight song our team runs out too EA?!?!
Green doesn't mean you've reached the "commitment point." It just means that you've surpassed a certain point on the recruits interest gauge. You reach that point when the gauge is completely full.I got another recruiting question: When your looking over a recruits board, his list of top 10 schools, you see all the teams ranked by the prospects Interest/Lag column.

Think of it like this. Let's say that it takes 3,000 points to "sign" a recruit. Anyone with their point total at 1,000 or less would be red. Anyone with their total between 1,001 and 2,000 would be yellow, and anyone between 2,001 and 3,000 would be green.
Also, a soft commit means that they intend to go to a school but it's not official. It's like me telling Nick Saban I'm going to Alabama without signing any papers. That still leaves the door open for any other coach to try and get me to change my mind. A hard commit means that the recruit is going to who he committed to. It's over. Move along.

There is no "commitment point" where when you reach a certain amount of points they sign with you. This video at 5:30 says so. There is however a point where the recruit wants you to reach and whatever team is the first to reach that point has the best chance of him signing with them at seasons end but other schools can still reach that point and catch up if you will because the prospects always can change their minds at the end. They have a less of a chance though since they met that point second, or third, or fourth etc. I think green is that point actually.
Yes, but they don't just sign when the first team reaches green. The only way to get someone to sign right away is to be #1 on top their list and offer a scholarship. You have a small chance of them signing right away. Otherwise you better be the first to green because that team that reaches that point first has the best chance of signing him at the end of the year. Obviously continued interest and phone calls will keep raising your chances and keeping the #2 and #3 teams behind you.
Basically when a team hits green status I lose interest because I know I'm not getting the best chance of him signing because i didn't reach it first so i start looking for recruits that have yet to hit green.
Yeah I know what they are in real life but are they in the game? I have yet to see any indication that a team has soft committed to any school...

I don't think you understood a word I said.
I do. Did you watch that video though? They say right there that each prospect has a point where when the first team reaches that point total they have the best chance of signing that prospect. Other teams can catch up and reach that point total but they will have a less and less chance of signing him because they didn't reach that total first.I don't think you understood a word I said.
I think when the bar turns green it indicates someone has reached that total.
You think it goes in increments of 1,000 points with 0-1,000 being red, 1,001 - 2,000 being yellow, and 2,001 - 3,000+ being Green. I suppose you could test this out if your in 4th place and 3rd place on up is green and your still yellow you could keep track of how many points your gaining before you turn green. If it exceeds 1,000 then it's not right but it also could mean you just exceeded that total and then we'de never find out.
Instead of team, do you mean the player? It will be on the recruiting list where you see all your prospects. At the far right it say something like FSU-Soft. If they have committed, it will say FSU-Hard and you cannot recruit them any longer.
The video has nothing to do with my point. My point is this. Green DOES NOT mean you've surpassed the necessary point total to sign a recruit. A completely full bar is the end of the recruits minimum point total. When a school gets a full bar, that's when you'll start seeing soft commits, more then likely from the first school to reach the threshold. It's still possible to get the recruit to de-commit to the school but you'll have to be very close in terms of points.
Hate to go against what the official EA stuff says, but everything I've seen indicates that 3000 points means signage.
I've added up totals from my calls and signed someone the next week after reaching past 3000 points. Pretty sure 3000 is the magic number.
Well there you explained it a little bit better, I thought you were saying once full bar they sign, which isn't the case. Forgive me
