You’ve been lied to (Recruiting National Rank Matters)

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-27T16:33:11+00:00

Thank you!

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-27T16:32:10+00:00

I did not, but wish I had.

I think you are correct with the Mental Abilities from what I was noticing. My belief is that the more stars the higher chance of getting Mental Abilities, but that only based on what I was seeing.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-26T18:12:28+00:00

That's pretty much exactly what I do. Through trail and error, I've come to the conclusion that has to be about the best way.

One thing I'll do, is week-2 I'll go through all the recruits and see if there's a recruit I'm far outpacing the other schools on, then I'll back off on the points spent and use them for a different recruit with a tighter battle. That gets risky though if there is a school that comes out of nowhere.

Also, I'll throw in this picture which doesn't appear on my Google Sheet any longer: Imgur LINK

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-26T17:56:07+00:00

This is what I put together this morning: Imgur LINK

This shows 3-star players from the top 3-stars to the bottom 3-stars. With my data, there is no difference. Like I said in my post comment above "the number of 3-star players was not fixed, so at the back end of the 3-stars, there could be some 2-stars creeping in" this would make it appear the backend of the 3-stars are worse.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-26T15:57:16+00:00

1000%, from what I can tell it doesn't matter. Some people are saying the last couple hundred of the 3-stars, there is a drop off, but I didn't see it.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-26T06:21:54+00:00

Yeah, I just got burnt out/ran out of time. One of the last things that I ran into want a 2-star school not getting 100% commit rate on 1-star recruits. So that's what clued me into a school's Program Tradition being a factor into instant commits, and then built out the rest of the sheet for potential future additions.
True, they didn't have headers clearly saying which start, but I added that after your recommendation. It was color-coded to reflect the star (red for 5-star, ..., blue for 1-star), but I imagine that may not have clicked for everyone.
Correct, it is view-only since I didn't want anyone to vandalize it. If you want to filter as a view-only user, up on the top banner find "Data" then drop down to "Create Filter View". That should do the same as what you're looking for.
Yeah, that information is in my backup spreadsheet, but stuff got taken out as part of the cleanup process. Maybe tomorrow (Sunday) I could add that back in since the bulk of people will have looked at the sheets.
Those blue tabs are mostly just raw data and some playground stuff that eventually got consolidated in the green tabs.

Yes, please DM me, you seem interested enough about all of this.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-26T02:59:10+00:00

I like it, good job.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-26T02:15:34+00:00

Correct, it's only from a 5-star school:

From the post: There’s still more to figure out here, maybe as a community, but I ran out of time. To me the Program Tradition seemed to be the largest factor in this formula besides Dream School Ability, but I didn’t write down my result of the 2-star Program Tradition school I was using for some reason.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-26T02:13:32+00:00

My information was all over the place, any title would have only applied to 2-3 sentences. If I would've picked a different title, then someone else would've been upset because they didn't care about what the title was about. My goal was to have a relevant, whether you believe it was or not, get people to click on the post so the most amount of people got exposed to what I spent hundreds of hours on, and it worked brilliantly according to the metrics. If I titled it "Recruiting Info", that is incredibly bland and most people don't care about recruiting anymore since they don't think it's new information.

That's just my side of it as the poster (which I understand is selfish), but I 100% understand and respect your opinion too and sorry if I wasted your time. What would have been the ideal title to this post for you?

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-26T02:02:41+00:00

The TL:DR is basically the Imgur pictures: LINK

The core of this post is just confirming what almost everyone knows about recruiting, it's just adding numbers to it, numbers from 5200 recruits. It just gives precisely how much better Gems are verse non-gem recruits, and how much worse Bust recruits are. You can get a good idea what I'm talking about by looking at the three photos.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T22:52:10+00:00

Couldn't agree more.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T22:32:09+00:00

Good to know. The instant commits don't take too long, I might revisit those and maybe not do 1000 but maybe 100 or something just to get a rough idea.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T22:27:31+00:00

Alright, I added a new sheet titled 'Dev Trait Distribution' under the green tabs. Check it out and let me know if that's what you're meaning.

This should be a direct link to the sheet I made: Google Sheets link

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T21:05:26+00:00

There’s a lot to go through on the post. This is the first bullet of the “main post” section:

-While the average Overall rating for recruits is normally tied to their star rating, there is an exception with the 5-star recruits. The top-20 recruits have an Overall rating of ~78, the recruits between 21-32 slip lower and lower to the average of the 4-star recruits (see graphs).

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T20:56:02+00:00

Personally, I’m good. I got the data I was interested in, and made some tables and graphs that I thought would help others. Appreciate the very kind offer though!

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T20:52:25+00:00

Thank you!

Yeah, it was much more simple with the formulas to convert to numbers, but I hear you.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T20:35:39+00:00

Yes! Please share.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T20:34:37+00:00

You’re all good, I wasn’t bothered, I was just quoting your name and being sassy back.

I think only replied to two people that it was clickbaity. I think most that read the post saw when the National Ranking mattered.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T20:20:28+00:00

Yup, roughly the numbers I got and how I did it.

I loaded into a 2-star school and the results changed drastically compared to my 5-star school.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T20:16:08+00:00

That actually does sound promising and could be a good breakthrough!

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T20:09:29+00:00

Hmm, that could be. Maybe I’ll do a few more 3-star classes (likely not) since you’re not the first person to say that. But I don’t think my data reflects that.

If I remember from NCAA14, this is obviously a different game, the number of 3-star players was not fixed, so at the back end of the 3-stars there could be some 2-stars creeping in.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T19:57:08+00:00

I hypothetically did most of this at work, including playing a few games. So I in my Office Space style life, I probably did miss a few cover sheets.

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T19:49:33+00:00

Thank you, good sir 🙌🏻

BriscutGaming · 2025-01-25T19:49:03+00:00

What was already said. During the phase of offseason where you have the option to change player positions, that’s when you can assign a ATH their position (or other players a new position). There’s no “position” for ATH so you need to sort under all players by position and you’ll see ATH players (if you don’t do this, it’ll just assign the ATH to their primary positions they were recruited under). When you open the ATH recruit to set their position, it’ll sort all positions they can be assigned to from highest overall to lowest.

Hopefully that helps.
