Talent Developer Rebuild

Something that should be patched now:

The requirement to have 2 first round picks to unlock Talent Developer needs to change. That coach skill tree is clearly designed to benefit small schools, but you'll never unlock it without already having built your school into a powerhouse. For this year, change it to 5 top-25 wins or maybe 2 conference championships.

We know that a player needs to be mid-to-high 90s to be a first round pick. You can't get 2 players to an OVR that high unless you're already recruiting 4 or 5 star players who also have star or elite dev traits, then having great careers with them. If you can do that, you don't need Talent Developer.

The Architect requirement to win 4 rivalry games or the Strategist requirement to win 4 bowl games would fit much better with Talent Developer. Those are attainable goals for a small school that still present a challenge. Talent Developer should be about reaching less-talented players' potential, which is the blueprint for small schools.

Architect should have a higher barrier to entry because unlocking skill caps is an incredibly powerful ability. Architect is about creating elite players by raising their ceiling. It should require the 1st rounders or something like 4 conference championships.

Something for next year:

Trade and reorder some skills between Architect and Talent Developer.

New Architect.

T1: Pay it Forward (from Talent Developer)

T2: Can't Stop, Won't Stop

T3: Field Study

T4: Put a Ring on It (Guarantees 1 best skill cap removal each for CCG and National Title for a max of 10 removed caps on a 5th year senior) OR Gainz Getter (from CEO)

New Talent Developer.

T1: Home Sweet Home (affects only in-state recruits. if state is already level 5 pipeline, affects the next highest state)

T2: [Position] Whisperer

T3: Star Maker

T4: Limitless (from Architect. Increase the proc rate to around 20% from around 15% because lower recruits tend to have more skill caps, and therefore fewer opportunities to upgrade a skill and trigger a proc.)
