Hard to do...

I feel accomplished if I sign 15+ kids. When are the best times to make a visit? Do I want to be first or last? A lot of times they commit off their visits and if they don't, whoever last is about to get a 2k point jump.

Any tips on how to sign people?

A lot of times I find those 3* DIR (Diamond In the Rough) guys.

My 2 deep on my lane is averaging 6'5 308 pounds. I go out of my way to recruit the big uglies every year

With the new physics engine, I usually skip any wr 5-10 and down, and all my cb's are atleast 6'1" ( I will skip on the best CB prospect if he's 5'10")

Same with my D'line - no 6'1" 250 in the middle.

Anybody got recruiting tips? I get stretched thin at times ( I have auto subs set to put a new player in when somebody gets to 85 energy, so at the end of the game, I'm still 100% since I rotate so much). I only got 14 out of my last recruiting class and with a new OC this year, I don't get that stamina boost so my guys are wearing out

Because I recruit specifically and how the game was designed?

why would I recruit a 5'11" 260 pound center, when physics comes into play and size and strength matter?

My interior line is like 6'3" 300

strong side I put 6'6" 280's and my weak I got the 6'3 - 6'6 240 - 270 guys

linebackers are all 6'2" and up, helps with the jump ball. My defense has been playing lights out. Just too many 5'10" WR's. I got 3 seniors wide outs that are 6'3-6'5" and run 4.4's.

The computer can't cover them, it's easy semi - easy wins, depending on how my reads are when I play QB

The overboard part is how much time you put into this.

The recruiting is my favorite part of the game, and you just completely blew my mind.

I do what OP does. Takes all of five minutes, maybe. You could argue for ten minutes.

Yeah I find and scout my guys, in less than a half of football.

idk what that guy was complaining about, it's a simple process. I just want to control who I put on the field, is there any crime in that?

Recruiting is simple like it has been every year. I don't even have the game and I can tell you how to do it. Save game. Scout guys. Reload dynasty. Offer a guy you want who is max interest in you. If he commits save dynasty. If he does not commit restart dynasty and offer him again. You can get 90% of the people you want with the reload dynasty option.

Physics and size done matter, you're giving ea to much credit. I've stiff armed DT's stationary With manziel.

You're overthinking it. I got rid off all 25 of my scholarships last year without really trying.

So you could beat anybody on this board, and you're having to ask for recruiting advice?

How about you handle my e-nuts in your mouth? If you can't figure out recruiting in 2 seasons than you might want to play madden so you can just throw money at players
