Basically, i love college hoops 2k7 but perhaps its abit easy sometimes to land a lot of good or great recruits. For example, i've loaded my Morgan State team with 12 players, 11 3* and 1 4* prospect. I've now got decent 3* prospects sitting it out on the bench. Heres something i would like to see that i think could improve this.
Each player would have a 'recruiting Matrix' which would basically outline their ambitions. For example, one of the top 3* recruits may be willing to be a role player on a top side, but if he signs for a small conference team, he would want to be the big fish, always starting. This way a small conference team would have to recruit some 2 or 1* players to be on the bench as role players.
What this would do is, if you had a small team with 9 three star players, the ones who arent starting would become unhappy and transfer. This would also then allow for individual personalities. For example, there may be the odd 3* recruit who is just happy to be on a roster, this is something you would have to factor in when recruiting. There may be a 5* player who wants to start as a freshman. If he signed for a big team who didn't start him, he would look to transfer. this would stop teams being loaded with all the talent.
They could then add onto this expectations per year. For example, my three star recruit may be happy to be a role player for my small conference team for his freshman or sophmore year but in his junior year he wants to be a starter. If he's not then he's unhappy an wants to leave.
Below I have put in an example
Tommy Tester is a 3* Recruit, here is his 'Ambitions/Recruiting Matrix'
Freshman Sophmore Junior Senoir
Power Team Happy 2 b Here Happy 2 b Here Happy 2 B Here happy 2 B here
Major happy 2 b Here Happy 2 b Here Role Player Role Player
Mid Major Happy 2 b Here Role Player Role Player Role player
Small Role Player Role Player Starter Starter
As you can see, if you were a small conference team, you would need to make sure that he would be a role player in his Freshman and Sophmore year, but would need to offer him a starting role for his Junior or Senior year or 'bye bye'
Of course, a more ambitious player may want to be a starter on the Power teams by Senior Year, or a Starter on Smaller teams in Freshman year etc.
This would mean you would have to put more thought into your recruiting.
