John Brown posted:Are you still struggling with recruiting? I was a bit surprised myself. Im recruiting other spots alright, but DE & OL remain tough. I always find a good QB from the ATH pool. I just haven't figured out how to game the recruiting the way I had in the past. It's just a lot less consistent with CPU teams gaining huge points randomly (the unlock recruits skill feels like its valuable, but i have a hard time using it successfully). The way they tweaked it, especially since you can't pitch your strongest assets (it's based on what the recruits 3 fav things are), it's a lot harder to just load up on a few dudes and lock them up early. By hard selling specific traits the way you could in years prior (esp 13, that was my fav recruiting iteration). Plus OL & DL seem really thin as far as decent recruits go. There are like 5-10 of them that everyone wants and I've been lucky to land 1 or 2 a cycle. I just really don't like how they tweaked the recruiting, think it ruined what was previously one of the more fun mini games in the game.

OL & DL is all about finding gems. There are a TON of DEs out there so load up and scout. O-linemen, however, are indeed much more difficult to land. Can't recall how many times I've loaded up on Guards and Tackles and every one of them were a fluke.

Good linemen are in short supply so you should try and grab as many of them as possible. I would rank the hardest positions to recruit for like this: 1. Center 2. Guard 3. Tackle 4. Tight End 5. Strong Safety There are just so few good players that you can get and if you miss out on them you will end up searching for gems or project players(aka Guards with high Run Block with decent Acceleration but lovely Impact Blocking).

I disagree with that list. Centers are really really easy to find and worse case scenario, you get a guard and convert him to a center. Centers don't convert well to other positions though. Tackle/Guard/DT and LB spots are the hardest for me to consistently fill with high quality players. I find plenty of mid-level DEs, DBs and TEs though.

All the poo poo you guys are talking about just goes over my head. So much for JB thinking I've gone out of my way to learn a lot about recruiting.

I find plenty of mid-level DEs, DBs and TEs though. It really all depends on what you're looking for in a player. For me, I wanted to have high acceleration/high impact blocking linemen who would work in my spread offense that featured tons of plays with pulling linemen/linemen setting up screens. I also did not like having my linemen switching positions due to the hit they would take to the awareness stat which would cause them to run up the field like idiots and not block anyone. Do you guys look at certain stats of players or do you just try and get the best players that you can?
