Recruiting note: Dropping points on a player has no effect if they are listed as "N/A" on your board. They need to have some level of interest in your school before the points do anything. So for example, in week 3 you find a gem that is N/A, don't waste points, just offer a scholarship... then in week 4, you will be ranked at the bottom of his list, then apply your points. So in the case from this video, the 10k in Recruiting points didn't matter.
@@dkmieciak Basically what John said above... But to elaborate, once you target a recruit and add him to your board, go to his "top schools" page. If your school has the "N/A" listed, then don't offer any points in that first week, just offer the scholarship. Go play your next game / advance to the next week and check his "top schools" page again. At this point the "N/A" should be replaced by a number... your school will be 5th or 8th or whatever on his list. Now that you have a number ranking on his list of schools, start adding your recruitment points. Does that help?
Just put 50 points on him so he becomes aware of you. You domt get the full use of them on guys who dont know you yet. Wait a week and you'll jump on to their board. Then load up.
Athletic Facilties has a big effect on progression in the tool, so until your facilities are better the progression isnt gonna be amazing. Like you said, RCU works out in the local YMCA!
the stagnate of some players progression is really interesting honestly. some of them don’t make much sense but then again you’ll see talented freshman irl go from the top to never seeing that same talent again. like you said it also gets rid of that stacking of talent from past classes making every recruiting cycle important. this can be a really different series compared to UGF and DVSU, looking forward to it!
The great thing about Owusu is you can tell him either "Just run straight" or "At X yard line, turn left/right" and that's all the route running he needs.
Gonna be honest, I don't even like college football but you, Drewski, and your series from the Pandas to the Dingos, and now the Moon Men. Each season is exciting and a blessing. Thank you for continuing to work hard for us fans.
I took over purdue 2nd season my oc was pj fleck win a ship and year 3 scott frost is my oc. Wish I could get an ex coach as dc. Level 30 oc maxed out level 4 dc...
One of my best friends growing up is Steven Parker, he played SS for OU and is now on the practice squad for the Giants. Here’s to hoping he gets the playing time he deserves at RCU!
Don't know who he is but, congrats to him. When I was in high school, I got switched to fb from rb because we had a freshman come in named James Mallory. I was pissed because I didn't get the ball anymore and got hit on like every play. Then he went undrafted and was on a couple practice squads, so I felt a little better about it. 1137 yds as a rb. 72 as a fb the next 3 seasons. Also 7 tds to 0. He did carry us to the state semis. Lol
Man, alot of personal ties to this fictional roster for me, my nickname in grade school happened to be Danny Dorito and probably my longest Madden franchise I ever played was on like Madden 04 and I created a team and named them the Eaton Beavers!
Great to hear the positivity back in your voice. This is a great series and continues the legacy of UGF, which was the greatest show on turf. Looking forward to seeing how you do in the Sun Belt this year. Could it be Bowl Season again………
Drewski I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel randomly this past sunday. Been binging these series and they're the perfect way to wind down after a long day at work. Can't wait to see more in the future
Hell even running backs and o lineman would want to go. Oh woah these guys had no one and was number 1. 😳 I would definitely consider it. And he's right it would take decades to actually build up a program from nothing. Especially with moving conferences. The usf bulls are a good example. Heck some programs do what usf is doing. The do good for a bit and then they go dormant and wake up again. Recruiting, and building a pipeline with the community around the university.
Except it's literally not. At all. Do you not remember Colt Brennan? Or that Hawaii offense? I know you don't, because that would kill your point. Having said that, NIL deals definitely CAN sway a bigger names to a smaller school, as we just saw this off-season. We'll probably see more of it. Either way, the only way to make this game work and be even remotely realistic is to give yourself restrictions. It just becomes way too easy to recruit. That's why he's doing it. Every single one of these Fizzles out after Five Seasons or so, and I think he's trying to make this one last a little longer. Recruiting restrictions are the only way to do that.
Man you have no idea how happy I get to see a new episode of yours pop up on my screen. I have absolutely loved your college football series for years now and was really upset when you stopped playing NCAA 14. So glad you went back to the platform and cant wait to see what ideas you come up with next.
I'm a TCU alumni. Excited to see the Frogs getting some love on the channel....not sure who I'll root for that week. I think it would be realistic to limit your 5*s until you move up in conferences. Maybe no 5*s until you move up, but unlimited 4s? Having the limit on the number of elite players makes you signing one feel special/adds some drama!
The downgrading is new to college football revamped, right? This adds so much intrigue to the series! I know you don't want to lengthen the series too far. But it's cool to see your team not be dominant in 2 seasons. I do think, though, it is time to start upgrading the talent pool, and recruiting restrictions should be off the table at this point. You've earned it!
I was hoping to see how far the Moon Men could go with mostly 3* and a handful of 4* recruits. I've found it way too easy to cheese the recruiting system.
@@UnNuclear it's not just easy, the game practically forces 5* players on you. Restrictions are literally the only way to keep the game interesting after a few seasons
Man we need more of this! Love you bro! You’ve made me come out of bad days and have put me in great moods with your videos! I’ve went back and watched a lot of your series and you’re amazing bro! Keep it up man
You should do challenge runs with the recruiting. It's one thing where you get players with the best stats and keep winning every game. It's another to see you always have worse players but still compete, and it makes things less predictable. Right now, we all know the team is going to get better every year. If you did a challenge run, you could keep it going for years and have wildly different results from year to year.
As a UAB alum, I am so psyched to see them on the channel! Cannot wait for the end of the regular season, and the only time I might have to root against Drewski!
Waynes last name is Pronounced FONT-TEN-NO (say it fast). Had a pro ball player from my town with the same last name lol. If you wanna be sure how to do it look him up. Mike Fontenot is the name
For the sake of longevity, it might be interesting to not move conferences until you've shown some consistent level of dominance, like back-to-back titles or 3 in 4 years - just something that makes it clear you've outgrown that conference
Love this episode and the offseason episodes in general as well Druski. Looking forward to see what additional depth chart changes and improvements occur throughout the season. Maybe someone makes a move to MLB? Some OL switching to get the best 5 out there?
A possibility to keep the series fresh longer would be to change some of the recruits' names. A thing that stood out when you started was the juvenile and funny names haha. Either way, your content is fantastic. This is simply a suggestion!
Seeing Jeff go down so much kind of hurts you're going to have to play your ass off to get him that Heisman, you're definitely going to have to slide more with this version of it you can't get hit so much because injuries seem to kill players.
Love this series... Check out tht athlete M. Montgomery with the 4.30 speed...that would be ideal on offense and the Defense...maybe a corner back...to help you out on coverage.....
Loves the videos. From the south (Louisiana) so I can help out on Wayne Fontenot name pronunciation. Its pronounced "f-ah-n-t-n-oh". Hope that helps a bit
I’m kinda upset that Eaton went down. I know it’s probably realistic, but he seems like the kinda dude that would work his ass off to get back and better. I know he is going to beast out this year tho.
Just for the record, Wayne Fontenot is pronounced Font-No basically, I hope that explains it, no harm no foul, love the channel and the series dude, keep it up
What will our record at the end of season 3?
10-2 and a loss in the playoffd
You should do the thing that you did in ugf where you showed the best plays from each of the players graduating
11-1
12-0
9-3
Anthony Burks went from out for season as a QB to a head coach in like 2 years lol
The off-season is always one of the most exciting videos in these series
That's what I always say!
Player shuffling is always so fun
Recruiting note: Dropping points on a player has no effect if they are listed as "N/A" on your board. They need to have some level of interest in your school before the points do anything.

I don't understand. Can you explain like I'm five or drunk?
@@dkmieciak player no know you, no points, he know you? Throw fat points

While you can't check the blocking attributes for an Athlete to see if he can play O-Line, the weight is usually the best indicator for that.

ur comment got stolen
If the next two seasons go well Owusu might go pro, that’ll be awesome.
The great thing about Owusu is you can tell him either "Just run straight" or "At X yard line, turn left/right" and that's all the route running he needs.
Now that Anthony Burks is the head coach at Texas State, I believe this makes him the Youngest head coach in FBS football history.
Gonna be honest, I don't even like college football but you, Drewski, and your series from the Pandas to the Dingos, and now the Moon Men. Each season is exciting and a blessing. Thank you for continuing to work hard for us fans.
Scott Frost fired for failing to meet goals
NCAA is just trolling us huskers
was looking for this comment 😂
Hurt my feelings
I took over purdue 2nd season my oc was pj fleck win a ship and year 3 scott frost is my oc. Wish I could get an ex coach as dc. Level 30 oc maxed out level 4 dc...

Anthony Burks is going to be a coaching legend. Maybe even makes it to the NFL ranks someday (once Madden puts out a decent franchise mode again).

I think after last year, getting a high rank recruit is realistic. ESPECIALLY an offensive player. Who wouldn't want to work with the #1 offense
I think 1 or 2 four star guys is definitely realistic, maybe one on offense and an extra ATH
Hell even running backs and o lineman would want to go. Oh woah these guys had no one and was number 1. 😳 I would definitely consider it. And he's right it would take decades to actually build up a program from nothing. Especially with moving conferences. The usf bulls are a good example. Heck some programs do what usf is doing.

@@UnNuclear yeah luckily a guy one the cfbr team made a recruiting mod that's pretty good
@camgocrazy and yet it's STILL the best football game out there right now 😂
Merill in the slot should be devastating on opposing defenses.
Chris Graham’s 98 speed is crazy. If Josh Merrill was going crazy just on go routes last year I can’t wait to see what he does this year
It's "font-e-no" but in Louisiana, we just say "font-no". The "t" is silent, in the same weird way that "eaux" is an "o" sound.
Man we need more of this! Love you bro! You’ve made me come out of bad days and have put me in great moods with your videos! I’ve went back and watched a lot of your series and you’re amazing bro! Keep it up man
Thank you for this series.
C’mon man! Don’t make us wait so long for the first game! I want to see how the new WR, HB, and TE are gonna work out! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿‼️‼️

Had a bad day at work but boy am I glad to come home and watch the rcu boys

I love recruiting JUCO transfers. They’re often gems and very underrated on the 5 star scale
It’s a good day when NTE Posts
Geez what a brutal player progression
The backup QB reminds me of former legendary unforgettable head coach of the Detroit Lions... Wayne Fontes!
Season 3 here we go
For future reference, Fontenot is pronounced "font" "no". Great video as usual
Imma guess u from Louisiana 2?
@@ajstyles5970 lol is this a Louisiana name? This name is so popular here
@@phycopath5876 well, it's French. And Louisiana has a large creole population. That's like saying Garcetti is a "New York name."
I was gonna say that
Cant wait for season 3 🔥
Love the off-season vids keeps the series fresh and so sad to see Anthony Burks leaving
Can’t wait to see the new guys out there.
So much potential here. Good luck this season RCU!
I am here for the Fon-Ten-No
This series is wholesome
man I love this series
I love how Wayne Fontenot is #2! He lacks ideal size, but the arm talent is there for sure!
Can’t wait to see you run the ball with Brandon “Built Ford Tough” hell yeah I’m here for the memes
0:18 “Scott Frost was fired after failing to meet his goals”
Nice prediction

Keep it up bro. We love these
I think you should do No Restrictions only on Defense. Keep the offense developmental. I've really. Enjoyed watching the growth of the offense
it might be worth giving Josh Merrill TE snaps next year
This series is a massive w
I'm going to have to upgrade Apollo Field in Minecraft soon!
always love watching the moon men 🌚
Nobody tell Drew the right way to say Fontenot. I like the way he says it.
Love this series!! Can't wait for game 1.
Fontenot - (FANT-NO) it’s a common name down here in Louisiana also love the content
Woah woah is Anthony Burks the youngest head coach in history?
Also, NTE, it’s pronounced Wayne “Fawn-teh-no”
No it’s not.
all ways good when a new NCAA videos is out
Dunno why you didn't stick that athlete at center? 77 OVR immediately becomes the best lineman and gives you an anchor in the middle.
A possibility to keep the series fresh longer would be to change some of the recruits' names. A thing that stood out when you started was the juvenile and funny names haha. Either way, your content is fantastic. This is simply a suggestion!
Roy Kent! Roy Kent! He’s here, he’s there, he’s every fucking where!

Instant like with the lutz tribute✊🏽rip lutz LL43
Dude i love this series 🙏🏿
Fontenot is an interesting last name. It’s pronounced font-eh-no, or at least that’s how we pronounce it in Louisiana.
11:18 you’re right, we need more Dixon butts on this team!
That Cam Miller guy is gonna be something
Love this series...

Petition to change Mark Hunt’s name to “Mike Hunt”
i started to tear up when Nutzenkirken graduated
Please do two games in one video this season
HELLO IM DREW MORRIS NOT THE EXPERT AND THIS IS SOME FRESH CONTENT I AM READY FOR
Keep em coming NTE!
Mark Hunt is about to become a legend
The last T in Fontenot is silent😄
This is an awesome series!!
Loves the videos. From the south (Louisiana) so I can help out on Wayne Fontenot name pronunciation. Its pronounced "f-ah-n-t-n-oh". Hope that helps a bit
As a WVU fan best of luck with coach Parker.
Fon-Tin-Oh
We're gonna hear the name a lot.
keep up the good work drewski
My man nte looking like he's doing superheros in football again
J Sledge cracked me up. Please recruit that man.
Keep the recruitment restrictions. It's what makes the series unique!
I’m kinda upset that Eaton went down. I know it’s probably realistic, but he seems like the kinda dude that would work his ass off to get back and better. I know he is going to beast out this year tho.
Just for the record, Wayne Fontenot is pronounced Font-No basically, I hope that explains it, no harm no foul, love the channel and the series dude, keep it up
With Eaton at QB and Ford at RB the option game is gonna be off the charts
Next season I look very forward to.
LFG!!!!
4:40 It is like Fawn-Teh-Know
