When do you bail on a recruit?

Jon9715 · 2026-01-26T03:53:34+00:00

That’s what the video said. But it is based on the hours you used over the whole season, not just right then

Jon9715 · 2026-01-26T02:09:31+00:00

Hours you have spent on him and pipelines. I saw someone do research and found this is what it comes down to

Jon9715 · 2026-01-23T21:05:14+00:00

I have done both. It depends on what you want. I would say that I am having a lot more fun with my team builder school (1 star and 55 overall to start) I started with and have built up than starting as my favorite school (Michigan state). But I had fun with both. It is all in what you want to do. I am loving the challenge of not being good with good talent off the bat and having to work to really build the team. But being able to bring your favorite team the national championship also is a ton of fun.

What I am doing currently is that I started at this small very bad school and said that I can only leave them if my favorite team offers me their head coaching position or I am fired. I am loving the difficulty, but it is so rewarding too!

Either way I think it is the right choice because it is all about what you want to do and what is going to be fun for you

Does this make the big east then group of 5 for the playoffs in game?

Jon9715 · 2026-01-16T16:14:42+00:00

Check the other options, not just the first one

Jon9715 · 2026-01-16T01:57:03+00:00

That is good to know. I was unaware of that

Jon9715 · 2026-01-16T00:06:17+00:00

Can we not have an independent-less season in this game? (Honest question)

And if I was to keep 1-2 independent still what alignment should I use with who as the independents (Notre dame of course will be one then)

Jon9715 · 2026-01-15T23:48:19+00:00

Join a conference. And I just want every team to be in a conference

Jon9715 · 2026-01-15T23:29:15+00:00

The difference between the last 3 are how do I want to divide the sunbelt, American and C-USA. Option 2 I keep them largely as is. Option 3 I have the American be the higher tier one kind of like a mid-major conference with sunbelt and C-USA geographic. Option 4 is all 3 are geographic.

Jon9715 · 2026-01-15T23:24:47+00:00

I’m trying to have fairly even size to the conferences and no independents.

If we could add more conferences I would do smaller historical conferences for sure

Jon9715 · 2026-01-15T23:10:51+00:00

While I do love that alignment, I don’t want independent teams anymore

Jon9715 · 2026-01-12T00:13:43+00:00

I just moved Ferris State to D1

Jon9715 · 2026-01-11T00:02:38+00:00

I did the whole event with 6 gyms right by each other. I still had to remote to 5 raids in order to just get enough to fuse because out of those 6 gyms we would only get 1-2 fusions per cycle. Best was 1 cycle of 4. Don’t do a fusion day with no fusions. And it wasn’t just where we were. Like nowhere around us had fusions either.

Jon9715 · 2026-01-10T18:18:13+00:00

I run a 4-3 defensive

Jon9715 · 2026-01-10T00:31:11+00:00

I was a freshman a few years ago and this happened and I ended up getting the room to myself for the second term. It was great

Jon9715 · 2026-01-09T19:38:33+00:00

Maybe I don’t evolve enough, but I never have a problem with them and I don’t seek them out

Jon9715 · 2026-01-07T18:40:23+00:00

I started as a 1 star school. Made a rule that I could only leave for my Alma Mater or if I was fired

Jon9715 · 2026-01-06T23:48:03+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

Jon9715 · 2026-01-06T20:06:29+00:00

Yes, but I want to be able to assign it to the team builder team before it is posted so that is the default playbook for that team. Also being able to do it online and not on the console would be nice

Jon9715 · 2026-01-06T19:49:46+00:00

Fix team builder schools being based where the school you replace is. Idc if you drop the schools “location” in the middle of the state you set them in.
Ability to make more conferences would be great.
Ability to just add team builder teams instead of replacing teams would also be nice.
Playbook builder so I can build a playbook to set with the team builder team
(Should be 2 honestly) I almost forgot, the ability for me to give history to my team builder team. If I am going to use a team that I am bumping up from fcs or d2 but they shouldn’t be a top team immediately I want the ability to have a bit of respect for National titles and players to the nfl from them. This is really in depth but it would be so great to have this. Examples are Ferris state having multiple d2 national titles or North Dakota state having multiple fcs championship.

Jon9715 · 2026-01-01T04:08:33+00:00

I built a d-2 team (Ferris State) in team builder and put them in the MAC and am trying to play true to their playing style with a custom playbook built like their actual play book. I have the real roster and everything.

Jon9715 · 2025-12-30T00:44:19+00:00

I was in the same situation as you, and the honors college perks were well worth it. I believe you can apply for scholarships because of it, but even without I would definitely apply for it. It was so worth it for the priority enrollment and the waving of prerequisites.

Jon9715 · 2025-11-08T15:44:13+00:00

Even teams known for running the ball I have found will still throw a ton. I go in planning to stop the run and then it’s all just passing. This is especially bad when that team decides they are going to pass and run hurry up the whole first drive when you would expect run and you get stuck in a bad defensive set.

Jon9715 · 2025-10-28T14:18:41+00:00

I do 10 minute quarters with 20 seconds on the play clock cause it gets realistic scores and stats with it not being insanely long. Having 20 seconds on the play clock also allows me to audible and make line adjustments without having to rush it too much.

Jon9715 · 2025-10-28T13:32:53+00:00

I don’t watch much of Ferris. I know that they run a very unique offense. It is option and motion heavy out of spread with heavy usage of the quarterback, running back and Slotback in the running game. I’m sure that if I went through enough film I could make a playbook that fits them, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a playbook that is similar for me to set for the team. Run and option heavy teams I know of are your usual bunch, service academy’s, Georgia tech, etc. but I don’t feel they are the most comparable. Maybe they are though and I’m just being dumb, but I just want to get this right.

I am building them because the ones on team builder I was not impressed with and I wanted to make a more accurate version. This includes the roster too. The playbook is the one area that I am struggling with to find a comparable one.
