Do players decommit in this game? I didn't think so, but apparently they do. The punter I thought I picked up last week with an Instant Commitment (on the console) is now back on my board (according to online recruiting) and listed as a soft verbal to UConn. Not only does it appear I didn't get the commitment, but I also lost the 60 minutes I tried to put in to pitch him. I'd probably still lead for him at least if I had been able to at least use the minutes.
Overall, this recruiting system is the best I've ever seen in the series, but EA's servers suck serious donkey balls and manage to undo a lot of the positives.
