I tried searching online and really only saw one other person with this problem, but when I have recruits visiting me, they each have some game goals that need to be achieved to earn bonus points. For example a WR would like to see me pass for over 250 yards. I had about 7 recruits visiting and I made sure to achieve each goal. However after the week finishes simulations, I find that I failed these goals. The only one that I get points for achieving is winning the game.

Hs anyone had this problem or is there something that I'm missing? Is there something that happens that causes these goals to be voided?

Recruiting is still a giant cluster frick for me right now. I can't figure out how to be successful to save my life.

Pretty sure that if you have so many recruits that play the same position and visit on the same week it's a negative effect?

Yea I signed 19 players and had the #1 ranked class, but I missed out on a ton of players I targeted because I'm not sure what I'm doing what the points system.

I guess if you get so far out in front with a recruit you can take off some of the points you gave him and put it on a different recruit?

I'd say you are doing fine. I had 23rd with 20 players signed.

How many do you add to yor board and how many are you allocating points to each week?

Yeah I've picked up a few strategies for recruiting over time. You just want to get in their top 5 as quickly as you can and then use your visit to build a huge lead, which causes the other schools to get locked out by mid season. My only problem is that I'm not getting the recruiting bonus points during the visit. I did have one competitive visit that caused me to lose points, but I had several complimentary visits as well. In fact the only recruit I had that achieved all 3 of his goals was an OT, and he was the only OT I had visiting. The only thing I can think of is that you should only have one player from a certain position visiting.

See, I had a ton of guys I was in top 3 for and by week 3 or 4 I was locked out.

We're you locked out due to deal breakers?

Location is very important in this year's game, so pay attention to this when recruiting. If proximity to home is a D+ or D-, it's better to pursue another recruit.

Wish they would bring back recruiting from 2004-2007, those were the golden years of NCAA
