DynastySummarize your bug The game tells me that I don’t have enough hours to perform a 30 hour recruiting action, when I have over 100 hours available.How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Recruit players in Dynasty and try to do an action once down to their Top 5What happens when the bug occurs? Player goes to another teamWhat do you expect to see? I expect to be able to schedule visits and do recruiting pitches/sways.At this rate of issues, I’ll be reporting this release to the Better Business Bureau as a Consumer Scam for the early release.

Sooo, I figured out the issue here. Although we have recruiting hours available to spend, you have to look at the hours available PER PROSPECT. You get more hours to recruit a player when they’re in your pipeline. In your attached picture, you have 90 hours available, but you can spend only 50 hours on that recruit; and you’ve already spent 40/50. Therefore, you can’t use 20 or 40 hours on a pitch b/c you only have 10 available. I had to start deciding which actions I wanted to use more wisely, cause if you “Send the House” you may not have hours left to do a Pitch or Sway the recruit.

When do recruiting points regenerate after spending all of them in during reason? I’m on game 3 in dynasty and still 0/900 points to schedule visits

@JTSpeed28 You may check to see if you have them still allocated to the same players as the previous weeks.The game remembers your allocations from week to week unless you go in and change it.So if you allocated all of your 900 across 10-15 players (or whatever) during Week 1 and haven't gone in and removed the allocations, you're auto spending the same amount of hours on the same recruits each week until they commit or you lose them in which case they free up.You can also go in and remove actions from recruits if you're way ahead or behind for instance to save time and allocate it to other recruits.

DynastySummarize your bug My recruiting hours would replenish at about 600 hours after every game during my first year, but I have played 3 games in my second year, and I only started each week with 5 hours. Recruiting is one of my favorite aspects of dynasty, so this is super frustrating. How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start the next week of dynasty gameplay and compare the hours replenished I understand that different coaching types accrue different hours, but I am using the same coach as I did previously. What happens when the bug occurs? I only gain 5 hours of recruiting hours whereas before I’d gain about 600What do you expect to see? I expect to get the same thing when I play again. I tried two games afterwards to see if this was consistent. I can take a screenshot of my next game.

Ok, so I am in year 4 week 5 of Dynasty mode. The issue I am having and this issue happened a few times in year 3. My recruiting hours stay a zero each week. This unfortunately costing me to lose players and miss out on scheduling visits and just being able to recruit. Am I doing something incorrectly for me to not get more hours after each week or play? So in short I received recruiting hours week 1 and haven't had any and am currently going into week 5 or 6...?

There are several issues I have noticed with CFB25 dynasty mode, in particular with recruiting. You are only allowed x amount of hours each week, there have been several weeks/times that I have had more than enough available hours but cannot pick an option to spend those hours. Example when I have 35 available hours but cannot spend 20 hours on a soft sell (20 hours) on a prospect. Also, I have noticed no matter the amount of available hours I cannot "send the house". Along with having available hours but cannot select any option at all. The hours and whole recruiting process is not right, it needs a update patch to fix the issues. I have lost several good prospects due to this. I have screenshots on my Xbox to prove these issues. Please help and fix. Thanks!

Summarize your bug Recruiting hours do not match up between the lower-right recruiting pane and the left-hand pane. Adding and subtracting recruiting events update the hours on the left-hand pane but not the lower-right pane. Similarly, some actions specific to the lower-right pane (e.g., pop-ups that you are out of hours) do not occur.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Appears to occur regularly in Dynasty mode.

when removing hours from recruits, the hours are disappearing instead of going back into the “bank” for redistribution.

Summarize your bug For the first 3 years of my dynasty I had over 1100 recruiting hours. After winning the National Championship, I have been lowered to 900 max recruiting hours.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure you can, my school is currently 4 and a half stars, because my Stability is B+ after winning back to back NCs, which makes no sense
What happens when the bug occurs? Well I can not recruit as well as I have been
What do you expect to see? I would expect to actually get more hours the more I win, not less.
