Matt -
I love these suggestions as well. Like you, I love the game and I just want to help improve it, too.
Recruiting is the one area I would say could use the most focus. For me, this is the best part, so it is more important to me than the actual game play, but I know this is personal preference.
One thing, I think, would be really valuable is if you could see how your program stacks up for the different metrics. For example, by the recruit's valuation of close to home, if there was some kind of indicator what your program registers. I remember in NCAA from EA Sports, it might rank them like A, B, C, etc., but it was just a way for you to see how exactly you stack up for that particular attribute. Additionally, it would be awesome for these attributes to be dynamic (some are, and location can't be, I get that). But let's say you continue to put guys into the league, you can pitch that and your rankings improve, or decrease, over time. Is there a way to see everyone's recruiting class ranking as the season goes on? Typically mine stays the same throughout the whole season.
Perhaps if you have sustained success, you can use that to improve your facilities, which could also attract recruits?
Last thing, it would be hugely useful for you to know where you stand in the list of schools. Are you the favorite currently? Are you last? I know in real life this is somewhat difficult, but good recruiting coaches and staffs use their contacts to get a really good feel for these things. And if that isn't possible, maybe some kind of indication of how close the recruit is to making a decision. Has he cut his list? Is he about to take his official visits (can we add official visits too?)? A lot of these kids nowadays schedule their announcements so it usually isn't a mystery.
Again, thanks for this game. I've enjoyed playing it a ton, just want to help in any way I can to make it better.
