i always recruit from the console. i just dont want to take the chance of having the od website fail on me while i'm in a call.

I get the compare 0-0 thing a lot when theres a big discrepancy in school prestige, and it really does come through as 0-0 for me and I don't think it's a bug cause the recruit will also say something indicating he wasn't cool with you making that comparison. But I haven't studied it scientifically just what I've noticed. When I see that 0-0 now I avoid it
Don't know what to tell you, guys, but it is interesting that you're actually getting the 0 total whereas I'm normally not.
FWIW, MVP, the majority of the guys in Powerhouse have done all of their recruiting from the website this year (from what I understand), and I haven't heard any of them say there was a problem. There's been more problems on the console (usually with scouting).

its just weird jeff, because its so hit or miss. in one phone call, everything will work perfectly fine.....even comparing an A+/D pitch will work correctly. then, in the next phone call, the same pitch comparison will present a 0-0 visual, yet end up working against the same school. a couple of more phone calls later, and you'll actually get a 0 score for the comparison pitch. it doesnt make any sense to me because i've seen it happen on different pitches and against different schools.
my only solution, really, is to not compare at all. i will say though, that whenever an actual point comparison is shown (ie: 50-75 or something), it does work. the errors that we're seeing only occur when a (0-0) visual is shown.
I'm not sure it's an error. It only occurs for me A vs D, not A vs B or C, and think about it, it makes some sense that a kid might not be impressed when you compare your powerhouse against some lowly school.
When I get around to playing again I'm gonna pay more attention and will try to get a screen grab
That would be interesting, jacoavlu. While logical in the real world, it would be an interesting design decision within the world of the game.

its most definitely a bug. i'm looking at a recruit right now, in which he has a low importance in playing style, which i'm rated A+ in. i'm currently in second place for this recruit (as arizona state) and oregon is in first place for him. oregon's playing style is rated as a D+ and is displaying a 0-0 interest in him. texas is rated as a D in playing style for him and its also showing 0-0 for them too. michigan is the same, even with their D- grade. however, USC and ohio state are 5 and 6 respectively, and their grades for playing style are C and C-.Originally Posted by jacoavlu
i took a chance and compared anyway to oregon, and got +/- 45 points for/against.
If it's an interesting game design decision, it's a poor UI decision that doesn't communicate effectively what's going on.
That too. I actually meant to mention that too

Hmm, recruiting might be a little too easy
You're a five star school in, what, Year 4? I imagine you've done very well to get Texas State up to a 5 star ranking. Once a user team hits 5 stars, yes, recruiting is incredibly easy.
Plus, it doesn't surprise me in the least that you're able to bring in a better group of freshman than the CPU. The CPU is very poor at planning long-term.

Yes, I'm remarking on the fact that a 1* school can be projected #1 within a handful of years. Then again I am on Varsity difficulty so maybe that's why it's easy.
It's already kinda easy on Heisman, can only imagine how easy it would be on Varsity.
Yep, that would do it. Even with Texas State.

another instance on the comparing recruiting pitch bug. i'm pitching playing style to a recruit who lists it as very high. i'm currently in 3rd place on him, behind alabama who's play style is a B+ for him, and south carolina who's a C- for playing style.
i'm getting a (0-0) display for every school i'm comparing against. however, it did actually give me the points, when i went ahead and pitched it to him against alabama.
could the bug be related to displaying a (0-0) for pitches made, that could yield over 100 points? that kind of seems to be the one constant i'm running into. i'm always pitching a very high/most with an A-/A/A+ type of grade.
that cant be it, because on the very next recruit, i get a full display of points for pitching an A+/VH combo against alabama (#2 on recruit's list) who's coach prestige rating is a D+.

I think you're on the right track, MVP, but there's more layers than just the point value. I've had two players with the exact same importance and the exact same difference between School 1 & School 2. Yet one will show and one won't.

thats weird, because (i may have mentioned this earlier) i've had it display a (0-0) point total for the second place school (i was in first) with like a D grade for a pitch, and then it'd display (0-0) for every other school in the recruit's list, even if they all had different grades.
Yep. seen that too

Yeah, just did this and got a 0/0 on compare. Frustrating.
Could it be a "Playing Style" recruit comparison bug? Since the "Playing Style" fluctuates as the season progress, Your school could have been rated worse or the same as the other school at some point. For some reason, even though you are now rated higher you still see the 0/0 comparison? Maybe.
