Hello everyone! I’m new here and I also agree with the fact that is very disappointing start to NCAA 25. I understand that they are trying to use the whole “ NIL” reasons of why they didn’t give us player editing… but first and foremost, most of players who are in the top 100 of the best players in college football are more than likely not even gonna be there after the first two seasons of dynasty as is…. That’s why being able to create our own recruits and have a chance to recruit them was such a enjoyed feature because it actually brought real immersion and a different type of satisfaction to be able to accomplish that. I still remember creating my own recruit and if I didn’t get him, I was more motivated to try again. It’s the joy of being to see and create different outcomes happen right in front of us when comes to this game that made ncaa 14 a revered game due to its Imaginative style and even allowing us to truly take control of the schools we wanted to take on. I personally have never made 99 overalls for my schools, if anything I’d do it for the schools I’d play against. That said, if I want to do so, it’s my choice because I’m the one who is on dynasty offline majority of the time and I also paid the money to do so. Dynasty becomes really stale after year 6 because now you only have the cpu generated recruits and a lot of them look like they should be worried about their families instead of actual high school recruits. And I’m offline more times than not, so I enjoyed the sandbox approach to the past ncaa games and being able to edit and play as I please. It’s what kept the game fresh and enjoyable to play. I just feel like it’s a major disservice to everyone who waited for 11 years for this game and for those who didn’t even get to see the game just for us to not even be able to create our own recruits and edit them. Plus, I’m a college athlete myself and the number one thing we all talk about is either” well, if I don’t get the right rating… then I’ll just do it myself” or “ I’m gonna put me and my family/ friends in the game and play/ play against them”… it’s a just one of the few topics we talk about when it comes to stuff like this and to see it missed like this is very disappointing.
