During the in-season recruiting, is there a way to make your visits better? I've had mixed results and can't seem to find a reason. Is it just random? I recently had a top 10 all time victory against higher ranked UT and the recruits that were there rated it a B-....What gives??? I'm targeting their top 3 issues on their visit....even trying to showcase players at their position in my gameplan....anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Question about recruiting in NCAA 08
- Thread starter DrBama
- Start date
what i do during the in-season recruiting is of course present the top three matters to them, the most and the two very high's (in some cases they may have a third very high in which case i do the two bama is better at, and also if they have two very high's but bama does not rate high on one of them i pick the best rated high....make sense? lol). And im sure u know this but when you go to the set offical visit date the recurit will straight up tell you what he wan'ts to do (i sometimes use this to cheat, and then go and hard sell this point to him)
Then, and i think this is important, pick a big game, usually a conference game. Its been my experience that the "push over" teams dont rate as high as the UT's, LSU's, and AU's.
This is the strategy i use and last season I had all A+'s on my visits except for one A, and then the players on the recruiting board that i didn't want to recruit had worse of course.
hope this helps

Rivalry games are the key IMHO. I've found that if you schedule officials for rivalry games (in Bama's instance UcheaT, LSU, and the barn) you get much better results from how recruits rate your visit. Conference games are next and quite honestly I don't even bother scheduling them for non-conference games no matter the magnitude unless I absolutely have to. I usually load up my visits for the rivalry games and it pays off for me. Outside of my very first season, I haven't finished anywhere but #1 when the recruiting classes are over. And I've gotten to the point where I pretty much only recruit 4 and 5 star players.
Games later in the season (when the recruit's satisfaction bar is full) will generate better visit ratings, as well.
