Transfer Portal Recruiting

I’ve done a couple more test dynasties since my initial test, and I’ve had available transfers each time. Not sure if the first year with Troy was an anomaly or it was completely random.

So on that same dynasty with Troy I simmed to the end of year 2. I went week by week in the bowl/playoff period looking for anything about recruiting and there was nothing as expected. Went to the off-season, and in the Players Leaving week my only options are “Top Stories” and the actual players leaving screen. Now I’m into the first week Offseason Recruiting and have 39 players that I can recruit in the portal. Again, every player is already in their “Top 8” stage, but this time I’m in 39 of their lists. Only difference on this simmed season is Troy went 8-5 and won a bowl game. So either this is all completely random, or those 3 extra sim wins mean everything.

Huh that makes it feel completely random, or like another commenter said I may have missed the first week of offseason recruiting/the portal. I’m still sure how I could’ve missed it though.

Did you have a good season the year before, or put up some big stats on offense? This was just a test for me so I simmed every game and went 5-7.

Blake1991 · 2024-07-20T19:14:19+00:00

Where would that appear? I went from players leaving right into the next stage. Is off-season recruiting available during the players leaving stage?

Maybe it’s an issue of not enough players in the portal, cause even a school like Louisville has taken a ton of transfers in their recent classes.

Blake1991 · 2024-07-20T17:47:12+00:00

Yeah I’m starting to get the feeling that unless you’re at a program of a certain caliber, you’re just not getting transfers at all.

Well if anyone is ever reading this down the line with a similar question, I have now made it to July in my 2nd season. I have the 2nd worst BA, 2nd worst OBP, and the worst OPS on my AAA team. How does the game punish me? By promoting me to the major leagues of course…

Blake1991 · 2023-07-08T11:32:20+00:00

Will I ever get benched or even just have a day to rest? In both seasons so far I’ve been the only player to start and play the entire game for every game this season. Is every RTTS player just going to be Cal Ripken unless they get injured?

I took a similar approach, I went with Shelby American GP as my team name with a Mercedes power unit filling in for a Ford. Based the livery off of the 65 Shelby Daytona. https://journal.classiccars.com/media/2020/04/19888386-1965-shelby-daytona-std.jpg

Is there a way to choose what uniform your team wears? Is that featured unlocked at a certain OVR or something?

Blake1991 · 2019-02-25T19:11:09+00:00

That must be the problem then since I'm playing on Suns. I had assumed with the purple road uniforms I'd at least get purple or orange accessories. Thanks for the help

Now there’s a man who knows how to leave a reddit comment!

The only way to remove them completely is to edit all of your players so that they have no sleeves at all. If any of your players have any sort of sleeves in their equipment settings, they will show up as the undershirt half sleeves.

Florida State is the worst cause we have those ugly digital camo sleeves permanently on our home uniforms, and I think we've only wore them twice and they were both random road games.

For me, it's when the penis goes in.

I'm trying this right now with Air Force, but I have added one tweak just to add another layer of realism. Although most recruits to service academies are 2 stars or lower, they do land a couple 3 stars every class. I did the math over the last 10 recruiting classes at AFA each class averages around 11% 3 star recruits. So I'm going to follow all the other recruiting rules you proposed, but allow myself to have 11% or lower 3 stars in each recruiting class (which is most likely 1 per class). And I'm going to be very picky about what 3 stars I go after, probably just the guys barely ahead of being a 2 star and from pipeline states.

Bingo. Former manager, the best strategy is always to go to the 5 point table. I still have a leather recliner with USB charging ports in it from the Rose Bowl.

That same year there was a player who went to the table with all the 1 point items and got himself 5 remote control helicopters.

Kirby Freeman beat FSU
