Danger Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Hey, yeah I'm definitely not copying MKnight or anything. Anywho I'm using the most up to date rosters possible. They're currently somewhat of a mishmosh of this years and last years, but most of the power 5 schools are updated. I've aligned the conferences as close to current as I've was able to. I will be playing this on coach mode, where I don't use the players but I do call the plays.

Danger Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Here are my initial recruiting targets out the gate. Haven't been able to finish scouting all of my board yet and I'm somewhat waiting to see who is and isn't going to be pursued by other schools that I can't hope to beat so for now it's just these guys I'll give you.

MKnight82 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Looking at your roster, looks to me like you'll have to land a QB, OT, MLB and Safety in this draft class. Otherwise next year could be rough. You could probably use several TEs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 First game - This is using coach mode. I enjoy it that's for sure. Troy UAB Record 0-0 @ Record 0-0 OVR OFF DEF OVR OFF DEF 81 83 78 77 79 76 I had a bit of an advantage but I didn't really expect it to be quite this lopsided. Scoring Summary 1st Q 2nd Q 3rd Q 4th Q Final UAB 0 7 0 0 7 Troy 7 14 10 7 38 Troy's only score was on a breakdown in coverage on a 79 yard pass deep with no defenders in the area. I took my foot off the gas most of the way through the 3rd quarter and just burned the clock, subbed in all backups midway through the 4th.

Jordan Chunn is madman in the first quarter racking up nearly 100 yards and 3 Touchdowns. He end's up cooling off for the remainder of the game though. Still, busting it open helped a lot. Pulled my offense near the start of the 4th quarter for the backups. The defense started to slack around that same time so I left the starters on the field. They sort of fell apart in the 4th quarter, but fortunately the game was out of reach at that point in time. Kickoff coverage remains to be a big issue for this team though.

Found another QB that no other school seems to be actively recruiting in Ryan Mendoza, who it turns out is 79 overall. I also happened to find yet another diamond in the rough OT, that makes 2 that are SUPER underrated at first glance, Mike Shultz isn't even being actively recruited. If I can get most of the guys I'm going after right now alone, this will be a tremendous first recruiting class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
