These are some tips given by a reader, not my own. These are certainly some great tips if you are using a 1-star school. Again, not my words.
Not sure if you already knew about this, but here’s something you can do with recruiting to get better prospects to come to your school…
1st) make a guy who is awesome in all of the categories you want and then make him an offensive lineman with no blocking ability. This will let you recruit a 1 star phenom. Offer him a scholarship the first week (because nobody else will). Then change his position before the start of the season to the position you want.
2nd) If you are doing your own dynasty, here is also another major secret that I haven’t read about on this board so far. This can take a while, but will definitely increase your chances of landing a prospect 10 fold. Here’s what you do… Start pre-season recruiting like normal and get all the people you want on your recruiting board (I normally recruit the players who have me in their top 10 interest level who have the highest rating). Usually I recruit about 20-25 guys and let the computer set the last 10.
1) Make sure to save your dynasty as soon as you have your recruiting board the way you want it.
2) Next, call the prospects and “find pitch” on the recruit until you find the thing they are interested in most, and their 2 very highs. Keep trying to get as many pitches until they hang up on you. Once you have done this there’s no need to try to find their interest level in other areas because they will all be either low, average, etc.
3) Create an excel document, word document, piece of paper… whatever is the best way to organize your recruits and what their interest level is.
4) The first week you will probably only be able to get through 10 or so recruits. Sim to the next week and continue to do this until you have most and 2 very highs for your recruits.
5) Quit your dynasty WITHOUT SAVING after you have written down what their most and very highs are and reload your dynasty.
6) The recruits interest level stays the same for each category, so hard pitch either their most or very high (whatever your program is stronger in) for each of the categories you have already written down earlier. No need to find pitch, since you already know what it is.
7) Now you don’t have to waste valuable time by trying to unlock what their interest level is, so you can get through more recruits and get to pitch to their highest interest level every time.
Version 1.0 – could translate PS3 to 360 controls, and I will add in the football section, but the core is finished.(8/4/08)
Version 1.2 – did the 360 translations and added the football section. I sure hope I know what I’m talking about.(8/5/08)
Version 1.4 – added some fixes and small things, and also recruiting cheats. (8/9/08)

Extra points for good spelling, and the easier the question is to answer, the more likely I’ll reply. Which means the better you set me up, the easier it is for me to knock it down.

I’ve also been published in GamePro magazine, June 2007. Pretty cool if you ask me, and all because I write these little guides. Also, I am in the October issue as well, which should be out at the time of this guide’s release. At least I ain’t a one hit wonder. In a nice surprise, I didn’t even know I was in the March 2008 issue of GamePro, but I am. Maybe I’ll be in more I don’t know about… Look to Gamerhelp.com for a slew of other articles written by me in the featured article section.
