Way up there
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
These is what I do, I'm ISU and this seems to be a pretty good fit. I'm 5 years in and my DL and OL are the strength of my team.

I've read online that going recruiter hurts you for getting job offers but I'm not interested in leaving for awhile so I haven't paid much attention so idk it its true.

If you want really hard: Kennesaw State, South Alabama, Jacksonville State

If you want spicy, fun underdogs: App State, Tulane, James Madison, Navy
I started a dynasty with Jax State that I mostly just recruit then go into the games but simulate unless they are losing in the 4th quarter then I jump in and try to win. I got maybe 2-3 5 stars in 5 years until I joined the Big 12 conference. Got 5 -5 stars that first year. Crazy how realistic that was.

So my dynasty that I just recruit in caps you at level 50. Just FYI. After that you can't add anything else to your coach.

Is it bad that the ISU band being in the wrong spot kills the immersion for me? I’m holding off starting an ISU dynasty until we get a preseason roster update and they fix that
That and the empty hillsides kill it for me. Silly, I know. But it does.

That said, I wouldn't hold your breath on it getting fixed.

ISU's kicker isn't in the game. Konrardy

That's something I hope they change, 50 levels isn't really that much with all the different abilities and the unlock reqs for some being so high. I'm just now unlocking a lot of the second level abilities and I'm at level 30.

Now having an issue in game where when I preview a play as the team is coming to the line of scrimmage the score bug disappears and doesn't reappear until after the ball is snapped.

Annoying because I lose the game and play clock when trying to run time.

I've run into this as well. If you hit start and then exit, it comes back, but will disappear again if you preview the play

Im getting ready to start year two of my dynasty. Switching to AA with a few slider adjustments. We’ll see how this goes!

I adjusted the pass defense sliders to 30 (all three for CPU) and it seemed to be more realistic in terms of reaction times and interceptions.

I read somewhere that EA thought no coach, including Saban was perfect so they set that cap. I see the logic, just seems too low

That would explain why after winning five straight natty’s at ISU, my only offers are coordinator jobs at big schools or HC jobs at small schools. I’m not leaving ISU in this dynasty but the logic was mind blowing
