Calmer than you are.
Yes. And everything that I'm reading says that EA is done making patches. This glitch will be with us forever.fanaticbuckeye;1283307; said:
My question about this is, will having juniors leave for the pro draft increase your "Pro Factory" rating? If so, then I don't see this glitch as being all that bad. There are a ton of recruits that have this very high on their list.

They should be done with the patches regardless. It's time they focus on next year's game. The Pryor/Berry backfield is going to be nuts.

We figured out a way around it in our dynasty. Check the 360 ACC dynasty.

But that is crazy and insane in my opinion. Also I would think it would be very time consuming to the commish and then also time consuming to get all the data to implement the work around. Cuz I would have to stop everything to let everyone know who is leaving early. Then wait for everyone to respond to me regarding how they want me to 'recruit' the players leaving. Then it leaves trust in the commish to follow through your plan.
It could add almost a week of real time to something that could take 10 minutes.
*In case you are too lazy to check the ACC thread * The 'work around' is basically me taking the online dynasty offline. Then the commish would have to recruit every team's players leaving early. (thus the painful step of telling everyone which players are leaving early and then waiting til everyone emails me back with what they want to do) Then after that is done I send the invites back out and 'restart' the dynasty.

edit:Piney with the quickness...
That sounds like a pain. The reverse side of it is, without that, we are all going to lose players we werent prepared to lose. That changes the scope of recruiting significantly.

I always wondered what increased your 'pro factory' rating. I always assumed it was just how highly rated your players are when they leave. Never thought about how players leaving early would pump that rating up.
On a side note... I always wondered how the Academic rating changes. Like last year I would start with a 'great' and then after a few years it would be down to 'good'. I am like... WTF? You would think that number wouldn't change. I could understand when the players had listed GPAs and stuff, but how does the CPU change this?
Ok... no more ranting

It does change the scope of recruiting, but at the same time it adds to recruiting. Like planning on Player X leaving, so recruit a replacement player just in case.
A good example is my Texas Tech online dynasty. I was all prepared to lose Crabtree (especially after 2,000 receiving yards and 30TDs) but he surprised me and stayed for his redshirt junior season and is basically rated 99 across the board (god bless him).
But in a surprising issue was my #2 WR left early. Thankfully I had already assumed I was going to lose Crabtree so I had already changed my recruiting to reflect that.
Now in my 2nd year in that league I have about 4-5 guys I am thinking could leave (I am assuming Crabtree will leave again). So I am recruiting 'replacements' just in case.
Plus it isn't like alot of real college head coaches 'beg' their players not to leave early for the pro draft. But they do have contigency plans incase they do leave.

My frustration here is that BYU is not deep at all, Hall and Collie leave after their JR season. I am playing with all Freshman.
I know, the rebuttal is that is college football and after you build a program over several years it will be fine.
I am just pouting because I wanted a chance at the National Championship behind Collie / Hall and the recruits I have coming in. Let me sulk in my Las Vegas Bowl corner and ignore me.

Sulk away
But for the record I did post in this thread earlier that this bug existed and you would not be able to sway players that leave early to come back. Just too lazy to go back and quote it.

Recruits? I only have one commit so far. Thankfully he's a 3* QB, but still.

This morning the EA servers wouldn't let me log in to check to see if you played your game. And in this case it prevented me from advancing the week.
But never fail! The week shall advance as soon as I get home tonight (6-7pm)
So get ready to play your bowl games tonight!
