I'm done with position changes.

Did we get the results of recruiting yet? I'm on vacation still so only have access to the web interface. Just curious if I landed anyone in the offseason recruiting.

I got that tackle we were both gunning for but it cost me 10k points and all my other good recruits.

Ah, yeah - makes sense. That's why the one guy is 40 OVR - guess he got picked up to fill a needed slot. For some reason the one guy who left who I had a very low chance to persuade (and failed at it) was an MLB who left for more playing time. Bah.

Yup, I'm sure you've seen ZSB and I bitch about this in the ACC. I just had a Freshman CB who was coming out of a reshirt bounce even though he would've seen significant time.

That's why I try and not just stockpile players when I don't need them.

Going to really enjoy getting in on recruiting from Week 1 this season, because I missed alot of key guys because i got a bad start coming in late, and I need that talent infusion after this season; it's going to be a bumpy ride.

I am, but he's level 8 compared to the restof the dynasty who's all over 30

I played 3 seasons in the PS3 dynasty as the Gophers so bad teams don't bother me

At which point did you join? Week1? Preseason? This is very important and could be a potential game changer.

Guys, didn't we discover that if you joined after the dynasty was stared you wouldn't get XP?

I've gotten lucky sometimes in other dynasties too. I think part of it has to do with not choosing a team that a previous user had. I think if I quit and someone else picked Michigan, there would be no chance of getting xp.

But so many people have spent so much time trying to figure out a solution without any luck - it makes me think there is some random element factoring in. Otherwise surely someone would have figured it out by now.

If there's any truth to this then AF should be getting XP in the ACC league.

It's not a guarantee you'll get XP in that condition, but I think it's a guarantee you definitely won't if you choose a team someone previously had. I think it might be that when a player retires, their coach goals get wiped and the game doesn't reset that when a new player picks up the team. (you always will get XP for things like "find a bust"/"find a gem" and visit schedules even when you have the coach XP bug, since those are not coach goals)

We're at Redshirt and Recruiting! - next advance 48-72hrs

The divisions are correctly aligned, and key rivalries have been restored. Schedules came out good on one try as well. I don't feel like doing a write-up so we'll see what happens with that.

E: So...which recruits don't want to go to Michigan?

Schedules are set and everyone has the following:
-5 to 6 user games
-6 home games, 6 road games
-2 games against a contender or ranked CPU opponent
-A+ schedule rating

We have Matchups against the likes of Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas, FSU, Kansas State, G-Tech, Stanford, aTm, Bama, and others.

I'll create a new thread when everyone's ready, but I couldn't care less about the OP. Please post here when you're r2a if you haven't done so already.

Your wish is my command. Heres what your first three weeks look like:
Week 1: vs Wyoming
Week 2: Bye
Week 3: KSU

I'm going to wait for you to play that K-State game as they were a contender last season.
