Hawaii dynasty - proximity to home error

When playing as Hawaii it says it is an F for proximity to home on player from Hawaii. It makes no sense. Please fix this.

When playing as Hawaii, it shows the players from Hawaii have an F proximity to home. This is gane breaking for the whole dynasty wheb playing as Hawaii. I can't recruit people from Hawaii because of proximity to home when they should be the easiest to get. 

Ruins being able to build a Hawaii dynasty, would love to have fixed in patch ASAP. Need to be able to recruit the local islanders

Same issue here on PS5. Makes it incredibly hard to compete as a Hawaii dynasty as you cannot make use of home state advantage and are often locked out of your 4 and 5 star players in the region. 

Hi Everyone,

Summarize your bug I am currently playing a dynasty as the University of Hawaii and when I am recruiting players who have a hometown in Hawaii their proximity to home motivation is graded as F. I understand why that would be the case for all players outside of the state but in-state players should have a better grade.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a dynasty with the University of Hawaii and recruit a player with a hometown listed in Hawaii.
What happens when the bug occurs? makes recruiting more challenging when this should be a positive for these players.
What do you expect to see? a grade of A when the player is located in-sate

I am currently playing a dynasty as the University of Hawaii and when I am recruiting players who have a hometown in Hawaii their proximity to home motivation is graded as F. I understand why that would be the case for all players outside of the state but in-state players should have a better grade.

Will say I have a grade and say I need a grade but these are the same but yet calls it’s a deal breaker. 

for instance need b minus have b minus. It shows it as a deal breaker. 

there are multiple other categories like this as well 

I have a feeling this is not going to be fixed.

I don’t understand how you release a game with such obvious bugs and zero communication with the community on getting them fixed. This game was hyped to the max by EA…. And we received a far less in depth version of the game that feels like a beta. All of this after delaying the release for a full year. 

I don’t think anyone was expecting the actual gameplay to be the best part of the experience. Which almost makes it more painful, because if we had this gameplay, graphics, & rosters with obvious features that were cornerstones of the series for years and years, it could be great. (MASS SUBS? FORMATION SUBS? WALK ONS? TOUGHEST PLACES TO PLAY MENU? INSTANT CLASSICS?TROPHY ROOM? EDIT GENERATED RECRUITS JERSEY #? COIN TOSS? Or just having stats generally accessible from logical places in the menus… you can’t even see the heisman candidates stats. Or a team’s schedule and stat leaders from the top 25 menu. Truly bizarre omissions. 

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that the game is not going to be a fraction as immersive as previous editions. But please, can you fix this simple issue with Hawaii recruiting? It makes dynasty mode unplayable for an entire fan base (every team is someone’s favorite). We already don’t have a stadium. 

I am embarrassed that I was conned into buying the deluxe version and paying extra $ for an early release of a clearly unfinished product. 

When playing Dynasty Mode and selecting Hawaii for the school, all players in the game including those from Hawaii show as an F for recruiting for proximity to home.  I wanted to get this reported with others that also had this issue to hopefully get it resolved.

I’m have this issue as well. Playing on ps5
