I just had this happen. I recruited my first ever 5 star QB. Was an 84 going into his redshirt freshman season. Going into his redshirt senior season? 87. He's gotten hurt (not badly) basically every year too, missing 3-5 games.
2nd season as UTEPs OC and i just recruited more transfers than freshman and my class is 55th overall

Yeah, after I saw it once, I started looking at the ability caps on all of my new recruits, and factoring it in when I choose my red shirts. There's less need to give a guy an extra year, if he's going to be maxed out as a sophomore. It's not the only determining factor, but it's one of them.
This is smart and I hadn't thought to do this, also should probably for cuts. If I have 2 76s to cut I just randomly chose, didn't consider this.
I just redshirt everybody.
I also have gone all in on the “Architect” tree, which can increase level caps, so guy actually maxing out rarely happens for me.

I have it unlocked but I haven't spent points on it yet. The recruiter tree is probably the most useful, but think the tactician tree is sneaky good as well, especially with a small school, because it literally makes players better. If you get to level 4 for any position group, it can add 3-4 points of overall rating to players. It's really good for the O-line and d-line.
I currently run both tactician and recruiter, and it feels pretty solid
I basically max recruiter, get to tier 3 on motivator, unlock architect and throw the rest of the points in there.
Architect is basically tactician with the added bonus of increasing level caps. I have 4 star recruits getting to 95+ pretty frequently doing that.
Dumb question and google wasn’t helpful: how do you see a player’s cap?

Not dumb. I also have no idea. I'm just throwing schollies around to dudes that look like good targets.
In their player card you can look at each attribute and how many "empty" bars there are above where the filled in bars are. That's the hypothetical cap on those traits. Some players have like a bunch of traits 60% filled as freshman and the ability to only grow those to like 70% and others have higher caps.

New patch out this morning. Supposed to fix sim logic. I got a message when I loaded saying that it updated my offline dynasty. Does anyone know if it applies to online dynasties as well? Or do we need to restart?
Teambuilder has some impressive upgrades, which would be expected over 10 years ago, but man it can be tricky with the logos and helmet designs. Logo images must be PNG and even then, most of the time the background still shows up, so when you try placing it on your helmet there's a big white or checkered square along with the logo image. Then even when you get a logo with a transparent background, positioning it on the helmet with the x/y slider can be really tricky.
That addresses a ton of the bugs with the biggest impact for me. RIP the easy recruiting on 4/5 stars for the smaller programs.
Use Photopea, its a free online photoshop clone. https://www.photopea.com/
Load your image into it, select the background and delete, then export as a PNG.
This solved my issue I was having with backgrounds showing up on logos.
Full on storm trooper uniform that was announced in June now in the game.
