ya it was more realistic, but it was also 100 times easier than how it is now. i mean, you could pitch the same 3 topics, week after week after week, without any sort of penalty at all. once you became a powerhouse, under the old system, recruiting became rediculously easy; so much so, that on ncaa10 i managed to haul in the #1 ranked recruiting class, with hawaii, 18 seasons in a row on an offline dynasty. on ncaa11, i havent gotten the #1 ranked class more than 2 years in a row on all-american recruiting difficulty.

that being said, i definitely think the current system could use some tweaks, but i prefer it over the old system because it brings more of a challenge.
