I would prefer playing BYU in week 1... for recruiting and stuff.
I'm pissed cuz BYU v UCLA doesn't happen til Week 13... WTF???
But there is something interesting that happened. The Big 10 & Pac 10 didn't switch off their home games. For example UCLA played at BYU last year. Well, this year UCLA is again set to play BYU AT BYU, along with the same home/away games as last year. Cuz I played USC at USC last season, and again this season. Which REALLY sucks for recruiting.

Speaking of this years teams. Does everyone know what there teams are going to be ranked this year? I've moved up to an A this year

Calmer than you are.
Somewhere in the 'A' range. Many of my starters are in the upper 80's to upper 90's, but the depth is severely lacking. I'm just hoping that some of my creative redshirting will give me enough talent to let recruiting and progression catch up. Essentially doing no recruiting for most of the last two seasons of last year's dynasty has really screwed the quality of my backups. Lucky for me, most of my juniors and seniors translated well from '09 to '10.Basebuck;1549219; said:

Yup. In my offline Ohio State dynasty I've played Michigan and Penn State at their place three of the first four years. I think (hope) the scheduling problem is only with the first two years.
Anyway, opening up with an Army/Ucla game? My old Iron-dynasty team vs. my current Piney-dynasty team. Interesting.

My problem was just the opposite. My upper classmen did not transfer over well at all. Most of my starters dropped from 90+ to mid 70's. I lost all of my depth from not recruiting much the last year.
Luckily I was able to fill some major holes with my current class. Isnt it weird that players ranked about 10 spots lower than other players have a higher overall number? How is EA going to play the overated recruit game?

I had a couple of 2* who were rated higher overall than 3* in this dynasty
and a few 3* who were rated higher than 4* in the other dynasty

Same here. In Iron's dynasty, my #30 WR (4*) came in with a higher OVR than my #3 WR (5*). It's nuts.

thats absurd
maybe the higher rated players improve more when training comes around?
or maybe ea is just [censored]ing up

Sometimes there are duds. You should try looking at the recruits actual attribute ratings as opposed to their star ratings; sometimes you can snatch up a guy with great ratings as a 3 star who no one else is going after. Then they come in on par with 4 star recruits. Doesn't happen all the time, but its fun when it does.
