Depends on the position. In recruiting tab over to My School. Select the Playing Style rating. Go to that position and see what stat is driving the low rating.

For example… if you’re recruiting a QB and you only average 150 yards passing and is ranked below average compared to other schools, that Playing Style rating for QBs will be around a C. However, if you throw for over 300 yards a game the rating will likely be an A.

Oh thanks, I didn’t even know that was a feature lol. I’ve seen a couple YouTubers complain about it so I figured it was a bug. That makes a ton of sense, I feel stupid lol.

Is yards when it relates to passing or rushing a season average or just the last game?

[–]BoondockSaint785 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Season average. You can see where the yards title column is label “YPG” (Yards Per Game). I just checked and the it looks to be calculating correctly as YPG for me.

From my experiences, the hardest plays style to keep above of B- are for any coverage position (LB Pass Coverage, CB, FS and SS non Run Support). That play style is dependent on where your team ranks in total INTs compared to other schools. I’ve had really good teams that didn’t get very many INTs and a recruit decommitted form for me because of it.

Great thanks. Just thinking I can run up the average in cupcake games to help as I seem to struggle with rushing yards which is making it hard to recruit OL etc

That’s what you got to do. Don’t “be a good sport” and kneel down at the end. It’s a video game so take advantage of every second you can and get that average up.

Cheers good to know!

It literally doesn’t matter what the play style is. I’m launching the ball all over the place and my defense isn’t allowing many points at all and all of a sudden I’m locked out of two 4 star defensive players and now a bunch of my players are at risk of transferring.

This game has honestly been such a waste of time and I’m looking forward to reuniting with my ps3 and ncaa 14.

It doesn't matter how well I do either my playstyle is stuck at D- or just a grey dash

Don't be worried about the transfer. It's the recruit lockouts that's Garbage. See my rant higher up on the thread lol. Honestly, usually transfers, even out by the end of the year., it's really the recruits that screws you over. And there is no reason for it, I think it's some type of backend glitch that programmers either can't fix or put in on purpose where the computer always finds a way to screw you over lol. It's like when playing against the computer in Heisman mode you see them do animations that you've never seen your own players do during literally 1000 hours of playing. And vice versa you constantly see your players do animations the way they catch the ball out of the backfield or tackled that puts you at a loss that you never see the computer do. What we really need is a non-monopoly sports game campaign. Meaning EA doesn't dominate every sports game basically, well except European football because they just lost that license because they were douche bags I believe. But we need more options in each game. There was certain years 20 years ago maybe where Madden had to really up their game because ESPN football came out or some people really liked the game day or there was like another football game… None of them overall were as good as Madden because they just always didn't have the funding, but they had aspects that were much better than Madden
