I had a guy turn green after fighting for him with Sims. a few rounds later a human coach shows up turns him yellow. I turn him back green. few rounds later he shows yellow again with the same guy. this feels a little messed up, or am I just wrong in my thinking? how do you guys feel about this?

Welcome to GD (and real life) college football recruiting. Just take note of the coach for the future... There are a lot of variables one would have to consider to determine if this particular scenario is "messed up," but rest assured similar things happen in every season, every level.

How exactly is that messed up? Just because you turn a recruit green first means everyone has to completely lay off and let you have it?

A recruit ain't yours until he signs.

Welcome to one of the games in the game..in real life does Michigan back off the kid because Ohio State has a verbal commitment?

Recruiting may be the biggest and most important game within the game. Who is where, how much $, what are teams O/D and roster comp, coaches recruiting tendencies, etc.

I think your situation is frustrating but certainly fair play - and very realistic to real life recruiting. Recruiting is probably the most realistic part of the game, to be honest. The strategic use of money, going all in on the first cycle, waiting to see results of scouting so you don’t commit 10 CV to a “red” prospect etc. The thing you have to remember is that none of us have unlimited “f@ck you money” so you’re not going to have situations where another coach picks on you and tries to pick off your recruits just so you don’t get them. Coming in on a guy late requires significant capital that could be used elsewhere so odds are a late challenge only comes from coaches who need the player, lost out on another guy etc

thanks. now that makes sense. was just looking for some prospective.
