PS5 - Recruiting: Soft-sell is chosen, even though Hard-sell was selected

Product: EA SPORTS™ College Football 25
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
What is your gamertag/PSN ID?
Date/time issue occurred 8/19/2024
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Dynasty
Summarize your bug First, this can't be reproduced EVERY time, maybe ~20%. If a recruit has unknown interests, but you select "hard-sell" instead of "soft-sell", sometimes soft-sell will be chosen. You then have to cancel out the soft-sell, go back and select hard-sell again and select your pitch again.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? - Get into the top 5 of a recruit with many "unknown" interests. - Select a hard-sell and choose a pitch that includes one or more "unknown" interests. - "Soft-sell" will actually be selected, instead of hard-sell. - If you remove the soft-sell and select hard-sell, then the pitch again, hard-sell will be selected. Not a huge issue but annoying.

Not a huge issue but annoying.

  • @UtahUtes32 I have had this same issue multiple times after thinking I messed up the first few times. I have specifically made sure I have chosen hard sell and after I confirm. It switched to soft sell. And then if I take off soft sell it lock or hard sell. I lost a big recruit because I couldn't hard sell
  • Same here. It is very similar to the bug in the change position screen where the wrong player is selected. Instead of the person down the list, it is the top person. It always throws me off because I think I've selected someone that's like a 67 OVR LB and it says I can change them to a 97 OVR FB (or something like that). No, it's just the best LB at the top of the list, which I would never change to FB lol. At least with that bug it is obvious. With this hard sell/soft sell bug, you can very easily miss it and then have your recruiting messed up.
