Too many transfers?

[Cooleyvol]

It seems there are lots of transfers after each season. Can anyone confirm that the number in the game mirrors those in real life?

It's probably a little higher. This is one area where I wanted more for gameplay reasons. It adds another element to recruiting and another valid decision point for the game. Remember, BBCF is not an NCAA simulator, it's a game. Obviously, we would like the game to "feel" like real football, but we also want it to be enjoyable and have some tough decisions.

Mission Accomplished, Arlie. I've been playing this damned game all day. Three seasons completed and I'm about .500 with my Vols, while LSU went undefeated two seasons in a row to win the national title, then went 12-1 the third year to get the trifecta. LSU=USC in Bowl Bound?

I still haven't landed a transfer of any quality in 4 tries, though I've lost about 6. Yea, for the six I should not have had 100% playing time for my starters, but still, I want some of the goodies other teams are offering!

Has anyone managed to land a transfer yet? How do they make their decision since all you can do is offer them a scholly?

dola - has anyone managed to land a transfer yet? Has anyone not lost one of your own players who was transferring? I'm playing with Purdue so I'm thinking my school is too big to get transfers but I see them transferring to schools my size.

Also you can see how interested they are in you,thats what i usually go by. And i have also lost a handfull of players also,who have transfered out.

Yeah, I've gotten one at SDSU. Out of 10 ratings, at the time he was a sophomore 4/6..I have it in my dynasty somewhere. He almost won the Golden Arm Award his senior year with me.

I landed a new job with Kansas State and saw my recruiting budget. With all this money I decided to go hog wild after transfers. I spent $7500 going after them and didn't land a single guy. Has anyone ever managed to get one? Just seems like only the AI teams get them.
