Only if the bits are broken off of your back!

My understanding is that the player database is the same for recruits/teams - so they retain all the 'tags' they had during recruiting. I might be wrong on that since I've been out of pocket for a while.

If that's still correct, maybe something for the non-immediate future is tie transfers to recruiting affinities (when we get to transfers)? If a recruit has an affinity for immediate playing time (or maybe 'Going Pro' as well), but ends up redshirted or has <50 downs played in a season (with no injury) they have a high chance to transfer. It could be stored as a 'frustration threshold' and players accumulate and lose points at the end of each season for things like playing time, overall record, or a new head coach. If they get over a certain point total, the database flags them for transfer season.

Since playing time is something players of any skill could end up with as an affinity due to the procedural generation, you'd see players transferring off the bench and potentially to 'little sister' schools where they can hit the top of the depth chart or even leaving smaller schools if a team is min/maxing recruiting in some strange way and has recruited 5+ QBs or something.

Long-term, I could envision a way of handling transfers that took the coaches' history into affect, where they had a higher chance of transfers from their previous school (if player was on the team then). The nuts and bolts are mostly there to create some really fun emergent narratives, but it's shouldn't be a priority atm obviously.

This is really great!

Nebraska v OU when? @HAFFnHAFF

1. What is your username? alexfall862

2. Which team do you want to apply for? Nebraska

3. What are 3 backup teams in descending order of preference? ...

4. How much time can you devote to the community? The more people that are active, the more fun the sim as a whole is with all of the fun interactions that can take place between users, whether it be in the Shoutbox, or through various forms of media. 2-3 hours a week.

5. How did you find out or hear about SFA? Helped put some stuff together with Rocketcan and Swipet most recently, though tons of awesome folks are helping out. Especially Kirby - great work on the website forum!

6. Do you know anybody from SFA? List their usernames if applicable. Lots of 'em. Most everyone in the Shitbox.

7. Tell us a little about yourselves to serve as a short introduction to the community. Working on the Sim with Rocketcan, was the winningest coach in CFBHC history at Wyoming (sub .500 record).
