Went through the rest of my dynasty offseason last night
I found transfer portal recruiting to be relatively easy.....you just have to offer immediately and "send the house". Schedule a visit immediately. The checkmark pitches open faster in the offseason, so getting to the hard sell is faster. I landed ~75% of my transfer portal targets as Texas State and only got beaten out by bigger programs which is expected. In the last week of the recruiting offseason (week 4), I also went through all the HS/transfer portal lists and offered random guys that had 0 offers. I did this for about eight players, and all but one ended up committing to me after only offering a scholarship. Felt like that was a bit of a cheat code. I didn't spend any points scouting so some where busts, but I went into the offseason with only two 3*s committed and came out with 12 plus a couple 4* transfers. Overall I think the sim needs tuning to not have 4* and 3* players with zero offers on the final week of recruiting (I think this may have been a patch update?).
I did find some areas that were "broken" or had bugs. During position changes, I would bring up a selected player and it would show a player I didn't select. I had to exit out of the screen and go back in numerous times to select the player I actually wanted to view. Several of my athletes that needed positions that I recruited didn't show up at all. For example I had an athlete QB that wasn't on the roster in the position changes. He only showed up when I advanced to the preseason. It was fine but I was curious what his OVR would have been as a WR/RB. When I was editing custom conferences, my changes in division names (particularly division 2) wouldn't save or changes in # of conference games played. I had to change things twice or three times to save correctly. It ended up being fine but spent more time than I should have. The first time I've really encountered things that weren't working well.
