Hey now! I didn't say I used that trick to make 99 overall players.... I use it to make a 70 something or low 80's player for my team if I failed to recruit that position the season before, and I've used it if there is a lack of some position available. I used OLB's as an example, because I have gone 4 seasons on my dynasty without a single 5 star OLB, or MLB, and only 2 or 3 4 star's per season. I play 3/4 defense and it's pretty difficult to get your linebackers for a 3/4 when there are mostly 3*'s and everyone is going after them. I enjoy it, so why do you care?

So you're saying that a players who's overall will show up as say 78 when you're recruiting him will turn into his real overall score of either a 70 for a bust or an 82 for a gem when the offseason comes?
Bc when you sign him if hes at 0%, his overall stays the same until you scout him.


If you never scout a player, and sign him at 78, in the preseason screen for the next year his real rating will be 70, or 82.. based off of your example.

If you want to test it, create a player, find out his true rating, and then don't scout him. When he gets to your team all of his stats will be what you set them to, whether you scout him or not.
I really enjoy the recruiting. I wish the computer were better at it though, if you stage your recruiting based off of interest, you can sign 25 4 and 5 star players over the course of a season and, if you do your promises right, you can drop anyone you don't need.

My money trick is I create a player that I want in a position of need. I give them whatever stats I want, whether it be normal, or overpowered, and make their home city the same as my team. Then I change their position to punter or kicker. They end up being a 1* with little to no interest from other teams. I recruit and sign them, and change their position to that which I needed when I get to position changes, and Boom something better than a 3* OLB. This works well in boosting a shitty program if you really need a better OL or DL, and just can't seem to get one.

Also why the hell are there never any good OLB's available?
You're misunderstanding what scouting does. It doesn't change a rating, it reveals it. If you think a player is an 83 at 0% scouted, and he ends up at 78 after being scouted, then when you signed him he would have been a 78 either way. If you don't scout the player who is 83 at 0%, and you sign him.. he may end up at 78.

It is supposed to add a dimension to recruiting, but it really just makes it a lot more complicated to find good players, so you have to make use of your scouting function throughout the season, even after you think you have your recruits picked out. I always sign all 25 and just cut the worst players because of this.

I think that is probably true, but why announce it in the locker room after a game like that?
If we win and aTm loses we should be second in the west.

He decided in the locker room?

No link yet. This was just announced on sportscenter.
Remind me again, how many basketball conferences only have 2 or 3 good teams?
The real question is: "Could Florida be a contender in the Big East?"

Kitty rant.
No need to overreact. Lets just stick with 14 for now.
I hate LSU and this is still funny. Florida fans need to chill the frick out until after their game next year. :spank:
