1.) Auto Recruit doesn't seem to take roster needs into much consideration. The latest example is the signing of 4 QBs in one class when I already had 8 on the roster. In this same class it signed 4 TEs, with 5 already on the roster. Positions that need more players in football like WR, CB, and LB tend to not get focused on until the roster desperately needs some bodies.
2.) FB is way overvalued. I have had 3 signed in the same class, and this is coming from a Nebraska fan and everyone knows that we love our fullbacks.
3.) Something that could fix this, and this is just a quick idea, is some sort of auto recruiting settings menu that you can change in preseason. This menu could give your coaches an idea of what to target first. Let you order the positions from top to bottom by need. Let you set a goal for how many to recruit, maybe add a +1 option to allow the coaches to oversign that position by one. Also, maybe give another setting on what caliber of prospect to target. This is a problem I've seen a few times, the auto recruiting seems to avoid going after top prospects, unless it is purely a team prestige based thing.
4.) This is more of a manual recruiting option, but I think the ability to hand out more offers than you have scholarships needs to be added. This would require a weekly notification of if a recruit wants to commit, you would then have to accept that commitment, play them along, or just decline it. Along with the ability to take official visits. I'm not sure what that would do to the game engine's performance.
