My impressions of this game is that it is definetly better than last year's, but is easier. Recruiting is a little more difficult, but the playeres progress at such a rapid rate, that it doesn,t even matter if you get three or four star players. As long as you have enough depth to redshirt often, you will always have a great team. Once again, it is VERY easy to recruit with ND.
BTW, for next year's season, ND went undefeated and won the national championship while I was playing as one of my teambuilder teams. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
